PROTEIN POWDER.....
Most of the people who workout, most of the people who take supplements....take a protein powder.
There are many, many, many different protein powders out on the market, and there is no easy way to find out which one is best, or which one is the greatest value...without doing alot of research.....

Well, today, I have done some of the research for you....

I will break down the "stats" of some of the more popular protein powders....to come up with a ratio I like to use....that I call "protein percentage per scoop".....which is actually a fairly good indicator of the actual amount of protein you are getting compared to other brands.....

It will just be an "apples to apples" comparison....only relevant stats and info, and I will attempt to leave all personal preferences aside...

We will start with.....WHEY PROTEINS.

HOPEFULLY....this starts to show you, that while there are many protein powders that are the same as far as actual ingredients.....the QUALITY and percentage of those ingredients VARIES WILDLY by brand...

YES, you may pay less....or get more product....but what is the QUALITY you are getting per serving ??

Taking MORE of something that is lower quality, does NOT produce the same results.....
I did not include prices, because prices are subjective, and they change all the time....

If this article opens some eyes, to a new way of looking to get QUALITY in your supplements, instead of just the "most flashy" or the " most popular" brands....or the "hardest advertised brands".....then this article is doing it's job....

It is time for TRUTH to start being spread in the fitness industry......
