Cheapest neutral 80 whey + cheap neutral caseinate + blended oats + water = BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!11

Man was reading this thread so checked out some local prices here (New Zealand). You can buy 80% natural why protein concentrate in 20kg bags ~40lbs for $210 USD (+ tax) so like ~$5 per lb not that great. But if you buy it in per tonne (lol) its ~$4.4 per 2.2 lbs so or $2 USD per lb.

Anyone ever looked at producing their own product?

To do some crude market research maybe you could answer some simple questions. I'm curious as to the major reason you'd purchase a particular product eg: Price, taste, products ingredients, country of origin etc? Any other major factors/dislikes/likes/wants in a product?

I know this is a small derail of this thread so apologies for that, just you guys all seem to know about this stuff. I'm not a user of protein (yet) I have SS but waiting on my gears to arrive, maybe I'll be able to answer a lot of these questions myself soon.

Cheers

I've been using this **** that I get from Walmart:



Ingredients:



It's ~20$ for two pounds. As you can see it contains creatine and a bunch of other random ****. Is this mix okay? Bad value?

optimum nutrition Nitro Core 24 in cinnamon roll. I got 5lb for 34.95 no tax and free fedex shipping at fitrx.com. I buy most of my stuff from bodybuilding.com though. I just happened to go to slickdeals.net and searched for protein and found that slickdeal.

I also buy 5lb bags of EAS powder from Sam's Club for hi 30's but it doesn't taste as good as the ON.

Are headaches a side effect of Whey Protein Shakes? After never having one in my life, I had one in the morning and night yesterday, then one in the morning again today ... yesterday afternoon I had a bit of a headache, and then after this mornings I again have a headache ...

I'm using the EAS brand: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/eas/whey.html

My mix:
2 Scoops Chocolate Flavored EAS Whey Protein
1.5 Cups Non Fat Milk
.5 Cups Frozen Mixed Berries
Quite a bit of ice

I think they taste great lol

Is this for PWO? You don't want a lot of fat in your pwo.

Lately I've been using the mix stuff for pre work out, and some pure whey for post

Obviously I can only speak for myself but I don't get headaches from protein shakes. Others might be able to elaborate as to why you might be getting them. If you asked my mother she'd tell you to drink a lot of water. I don't know how much you drink or if that has anything to do with it but I seem to dehydrate myself often.

Thanks, I later realized it's probably because I missed two days of coffee and they were probably related to that ...
