I just cannot understand why this discussion won't die. The ingredients specifically say it is made from whey Protein. I don't care what "magic" they allegedly perform, it is impossible for there to be 30 grams of "equivalent" Protein in a tablespoon serving and only 98 calories.

The thing that is so hard to understand is that there are so many real protein supplements that there is no question or debate on the efficacy of the product. The only thing that GENEPRO has going for it that is not up for debate is how well it dissolves in liquid. That is not enough to warrant wasting money on it.

Thank you this guy gets it. Pure snake oil. I tell everyone I can to not fall into the boutique Protein Powder trap. There are so many great whey powders on the market that all do the same thing (deliver protein in an easy to consume manner). Read the labels, note nutritional numbers and ingredients, find a flavor you can stand and dissolves well and away you go.

@zippyskippy - two years I have been repeating the same thing. People want to believe that they are doing something that works or helps, even if it is not true.

Aside from the fact that I thought they tasted awful, I mean gelatinous cough syrup/jolly rancher hybrid really really bad, their primary source of Protein is collagen, then whey, and lastly casein. Collegen protein is technically a protein yes, but it isn't much more than a nitrogen donor. Casein is a decent protein though. Whey is still the reigning king for muscle mass retention and growth.

Even with that low opinion of the Protein Shots, they are still better than GENEPRO. As a list, I would go like this:

• Whey
• Casein
• Beef or Bone powder
• Soy
• Egg (the powder, not the real thing. Real eggs rock)
• Pea
• Collagen
• Toenails
• Dirt
• Velveeta cheese or aerosol cheese spread
• Genepro
