Places to get liquid protein samples



Recommended Posts

I didn't know that there was a certain type of Protein that we needed. Thanks for the info. I wanted to find out why whey is better for us and below is a nice simple explanation (taken from protein-powder-resource.com)...

whey Protein powder is the most common type you'll see. Basically it's the liquid that comes after the curdleing process. Once this is done, it makes it to where your body can absorb it. This is what I take everyday because it has the highest Biological Value (BV) Here are 3 main forms:

- Concentrate

- Isolate

- Hydrolysate

Concentrates are low in fat and cholesterol. On the flipside, there are higher levels of milk carbohydrates. Your body absorbs about 55%-60%. This will run you the cheapest.

Isolates removes the fat & lactose. This makes for a high concentration. Your body then absorbs 70%-80%. These are price in the medium range.

Hydrolyzed are the easiest to absorb, but cost the most. Basically the same as isolates except, this is the most absorable type thats made. That means your body absorbs 99%!

There is alot more information on this type. My purpose here was to give you the basics without getting all technical. Whichever you pick, make sure the fat content per scoop is low. Sure, some are cheaper then others, but the extra cost might be worth it if your trying to lose body fat!

I wonder which Protein drink brand has the most hydrolyzed Protein?

Both of the ones I use the most say protein Isolate.

Does anyone see the hydrolyzed protein on any of their containers?

Where to get Protein foods and samples

Here is another list of where to get samples:

1

Chike Nutrition - will send you a sample of each flavor they make for the cost of shipping

unjury - sells samples of all their flavors.

Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks! - will make up a sample baggie of any protein they sell. Also has pre-packaged samples from the manufacturers that make them

Nashua Nutrition - Protein powders :: Protein Powder Samples (1 Serving) - sells many protein samples from many companies include Optimum Nutrition and Syntrax (makers of Syntrax Nectars, which are very popular)

Protein Sample Starter Kit - Our bestselling RTD's & Powdered Proteins PLUS - a starter pack to get you through the first few weeks. It's not all Protein drinks.

Special Discount Packages : Laparoscopic Associates: new eStore - my surgeon's starter packs. Includes some protein Soups and other "bariatric" foods.

Netrition Protein Sampler Pack - sells a sample pack of their "Most popular protein products". But this is not a WLS site, but a general nutrition site so some of the samples may not be appropriate for us. (Most in the picture looked fine though.)

In terms of buying protein in stores, GNC sells many of their Proteins in individual packets and in smaller bags. They will also let you return any protein powder you buy from them even if it's opened. So you can try it and, if you hate it, you can return it.

Jay Robb makes single serving packets of their proteins. I bought them at Vitamin Shoppe.

Hope this helps someone. I just copied and pasted this from another board:

unjury

https://www.unjury.com/ssl/purchasing.php

Samples $1.75 each

nectar Syntrax

You can get a box of all 11 nectar Protein flavors directly from Syntrax for $4.99 plus $5.99 for shipping. Contact Rick Davis Medical Sales Manager nectar@si03.com1-866-333-7403 ext. 803

Thank you for this information. I ordered the samples from Syntrax. It's $13 w/ free shipping. And I just ordered the Unjury Sampler. I really don't like shakes, but the ones that are similar to juice, I feel will be a better consistency for me. Thanks again!!

I went into my local GNC (Hamilton, NJ) and explained I know NOTHING about them, never had em, and the sales person was fantastic! He let me try everything in little dixie cups to help me find something, and as posted before, he told me I could return it if I wasnt completely satisfied. I didnt know it would cost me so much either :-/ so he knocked off $10 and gave me a free shaker too!!

Today I purchased AMPLIFY smoothie and it has 20g of Protein but the crap was 50.00 is that an ok price?

You have to watch the size of the package. Some have 2 lbs in a container, some have 5 lbs, some of them don't even have 2 lbs. If it's 5 lbs for that price, that's about normal. I pay 44 something for 5 lbs of myofusion choc/peanut butter.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
