Cyn's Whey Protein Pick

Lately my friends, who wanted to start taking whey protein have asked for my recommendations.

But before that, read this first to understand protein supplements better. 

Which to take is depending on your fitness goal. Here I'm only recommending basic whey protein for beginner and amateurs.

1. BSN Syntha-6

This is the first one I bought. It's a multi-phase protein. Meaning it's a combination between fast, medium and slow release protein. It has whey isolate, concentrate, casein, egg protein among other things. 

In terms of taste, this is the best tasting protein.

First time taking this, it was okay but then later I can't digest this and had diarrhea immediately after consumption. 

The protein per serving 22g/scoop.


2. OPTIMUM NUTRITION GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY

This is by far my favourite brand. It's whey isolate. Usually whey isolate's taste is quite mild (not to heavy or milky or creamy). In fact the double rich choc flavour taste like milo kosong. 

In the morning, I mixed it with cold Milo UHT. SEDAP!

Protein per serving is higher, 24g/scoop. Lower calorie and cholesterol. 


3. MUSCLETECH (MT) ESSENTIAL PLATINUM WHEY

Currently I'm using this. Quality wise is almost the same with Optimum Nutrition. But the taste is different. MT products are known for their distinctive sweetness and after taste. So this is quite sweet and has that weird after taste. 

But if you like sweet and milky, this is the one for you. 

Of course there are other brands in the market. It all depends on you. The most important thing to look out for is the protein type (isolates, concentrate etc), protein per serving, and the quality of the product. Choose from a reputable brand.

And once again, taking a whey protein won't make you bulky.
