Is there really that big of a difference in quality between say a walmart whey compared to ON 100% whey? Im about out of protein but also short on money so im trying to save when i can. Do you think it really makes a difference in absorption or quality of the whey to hinder gains?

I have noticed cheap protein gives me gas where a bit higher quality brand name does not. I am guessing they are not using 100% Whey and are using egg protein.

Of all the cheap proteins I have used the GNC 100% Whey treats me good.

Yes, big difference. I hate that cheap crap from Wal-Mart. They put something in it to make it go thick which I can't stand.

Im talking about from a nutrition gaining muscle standpoint. I dont care what it tastes like. Do you think the cheaper stuff doesnt have as good of protein and will not make you gain as much?

for me ive found that the cheaper it is the harder on my stomach.
thats because the cheap-os are a concentrate

then again you gotta look at what types of carbs and fillers are in them

But which i do perfer...... a straight whey isolate

lol i know that i wouldnt ever put anything in my body that was questionable it will go in the trash before that.

I just never have any problems with my stomach and it gives me gas anyways so i figure instead of paying 50 bucks for 5 ilbs why not go a little cheaper and pay 25 or 30. still debating.

Bro if you want cheap go with ON or Six star. The biggest difference is availability and how much it is processed. To me syntha six is about the best Ive ever used. No upset stomach, no horrible taste, and most importantly you can get 2.5 pounds for about 24 bucks online.

I agree 100%. At the Vitamin Shop near me Syntha 6 is $22 for 2.91lbs. I think cheap protein is not going to be as good. How could it??
