Isopure

[shelbyschroepfer 35]

Okay I'm reading great things about this stuff. I like that I hear its more of a watery base than creamy like a shake. Ill start off by saying I haven't had a single shake that didn't come back up within an hour, pre op or post op, so I think these would be great for me... BUT they are SO expensive!!!!!! Are there any websites that sell them wholesale or cheaper or something?!? I'd love to try them but man I can't afford that!

I can understand being concerned about price, but time and time again the cheap stuff ends up tasting... cheap.

If you're talking about the RTD 40oz bottles, I drink half at a time so it's like two for me (your body only absorbs 20g of Protein in a sitting).

Right now GNC is having a buy 2 and get 1 free special on them. If you buy their card for 15$ you get member rates so they are around 4.30$ each. With the sale they are about 3$ each. It's expensive, but I justify it bc I'm not eating out. A 3$ meal is better than McDonald's. try 1 first. They have a "pucker" factor that I find weird. They make my tongue feel dry.

I Guess I'm talking about the no carb bottles with flavors like grape and watermelon and orange and stuff like that. Almost like kool aid flavors. I can't find them cheaper than 49.99 for a 12 pack which to me could be a total waste if I don't like it. Can't find a place that will sell samples or a single bottle to try it out. I guess until I win the lottery ill be getting my Protein from Greek yogurt!!

Keep shopping. I've had no issue finding single bottles of these and you DEFINITELY need to sample a bottle before buying an entire case. They have a "unique" taste to them that some people don't like. I'm able to tolerate it and don't mind it so much.

Lots of people here have ordered this and were pleased (myself included).

BARFOLA!

Don- I thought you could have 30 grams of Protein an hr?

My NUT said 20g per meal but I found out later that there's a formula that will tell you exactly how much depending on body weight. People who are working out harder could probably do 30g in general.

Molly is not a fan of that unique taste.

GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and 24Hour Fitness sell the individual bottles as well.

Agreed. My favorite so far is the Roadside Lemonade. I mix it with 16oz of Water and it reminds me of lemon-flavored Pez candy.< /p>

I have tried the Grape Frost Isopure so far. I don't like it, but I can get it down so far (pre-op). It really throws me off to have a "cheesy" flavored background in a grape-flavored drink. I bought some artificially flavored water enhancers to see if I can increase the grape flavor and masque the cheesy background.

Good luck!

Are these the same as the glass bottles that say "isopure" on them? I ordered this sample pack and can't tolerate a single flavor out of the bunch, of these nectar things. That's why I was hoping the Isopure had more of a juicy consistency.

Two different products, the Isopure and the nectar sample pack.

Try getting yourself some of the unflavored Protein powder and mixing it with crystal light maybe? People here have had good luck with that. Syntrax makes an unflavored power, I don't recommend Unjury's unflavored for this as I tried it recently and it was anything but unflavored!

Unjury's unflavored is good for warmer foods/soups/broths as long as you keep the temperature under 140.

I bought single bottles at GNC. They had a few different flavors in single bottles.

I'm glad I was able to try them bc they made me gag...a whole case would have been an absolute waste of $$ for me.
