Dollar for dollar Kaizen is a much better deal even at $44.99 or whatever it's selling for now.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-pro ... PID=749547 :
Powders that use more whey concentrates than isolates are less expensive. It's true that you get less protein per scoop, but the price increase for isolate does not necessarily add up to you getting more protein per dollar.

Plus, some whey protein isolate manufacturing steps can harm some of the beneficial whey protein fractions such as beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, and bovine serum albumin peptides, which provide performanceand physique-enhancing benefits as well as antioxidant and immune-boosting properties.

The gentle filtration that WPC-80 undergoes leaves these all in place. However, remember that whey concentrate contains more lactose, so if you have an intolerance, it may not be your best choice.

Kaizen is $49 for 4.4 pounds @ 35g of protein/41g scoop = 0.028757515 $/G of protein. (Thanks to Frazz from this post)

If Kaizen went down to $32 for 4.4 pounds @ 35g of protein/41g scoop = 0.018780418 $/G of protein.

IST is $65 for 10 pounds @ 25g of protein/35g scoop = 0.0197530864 $/G of protein.

Taste, of course, will always be a factor. But I have tried soy and pea protein in the last few days and that was awful.

Thanks for those calculations. Do you mind confirming the calculations I made on the bulk protein I linked before? http://www.canadianprotein.com/bulk-protein.html Math is obviously not my strong suit and I'm feeling a bit wiped after sitting on the john prior to typing this post... :lol:

It's $323.91 for 45lbs @ 25g of protein per 30g scoop.

45lbs is 20411.6567g. TWENTY KILOS of stuff. Mother of god. Let's find out how much of that is actually protein.

25g/30g scoop is a ratio of 5/6, or 83.33333333333333333333%.

So 5/6ths of 20411.6567g is 17009.7139166666666666666666666g... So assuming the nutritional label is correct and Reddit hasn't debunked this brand, that's how much actual protein is in the twenty kilo shipment.

$323.91 for 17009.7139166666666666666666666g of actual protein = $0.0190426483118344823... per gram of actual protein. Two cents per gram. Comparable to the IST calculation already performed.

Not sure I could live with a twenty kilo shipment though, ESPECIALLY if it tastes like garbage. :lol:

Looking forward to you guys receiving your IST shipments and reporting back on the taste. From my limited ability to comprehend French, the reviews OP listed seem to compliment the taste. Look for the keyword "gout" which is the French word for "taste".

EDIT - Again, being kind of new to exercise supplementation after being a whole food human garbage disposal for so long and not making significant gains in size (strength fortunately has increased but nothing to show for it :lol :) , I just took a look at the unflavoured protein I'm currently using and enjoying that I got from Loblaws, North Coast Naturals 100% Iso Protein. Label says 24g protein per 28g scoop. 85.7% profile. I pray they're not lying because I paid out the nose for that one. :lol: Still, it's not as expensive as the Genuine Health Proteins+ I used to buy years ago when I was only mixing shakes for convenience, not bodybuilding.

It's like saying I can get a Toyota for $100 less than a Lexus...yeah you'll save a few bucks but is the price to quality ratio worth saving $100 with the Toyota?
+1. This is good value if you're looking for a protein blend but you can't compare this to a whey isolate like Kaizen.

Yep. That checks out. 323.91 / (20 412 * (25 / 30)) = 0.019042328. A good deal even if Costco has another sale. They also offer 3 samples at $1.99 (with free shipping): http://www.canadianprotein.com/samples.html

The other thread has some people saying they like the taste.

Edit: I think the previous poster was talking about this: 25lbs for $175 http://www.canadianprotein.com/Bulk-Whe ... trate.html

Decent profile for a whey concentrate: $166 for 25 pounds (with free shipping and 5% "cp102" coupon) @ 24g of protein/30g scoop = 0.0183077466 $/G of protein.


Side note: Isolate is not a million times better/stronger/purer/concentrated than concentrate. "Isolate" is just as much a branding adjective as "gti" or "xxxl" or "ultra."

Agreed. I bought a 5lb vaniila tub for $34.99. I won't be buying it again. Worst vaniila protein powder I've ever tasted.

The reddit protein lab test results for those interested.

Further proof that not all protein powders are created equal (Kaizen whey isolate got one of the higher scores).

I saw those 3 samples for $2 too (and it's free shipping!). I might be going ahead with that. Some of their products intrigue me, in particular the massive 45lbs blend I linked before and their 100% premium isolate (http://www.canadianprotein.com/Bulk-Pre ... olate.html) of which I would like to try samples before committing hundreds of dollars. 29g protein per 30g scoop for the latter. :-0 I'd like to see Reddit's lab results for that one. :lol: Just have to pick a third product to round out my three total samples. :lol:

So even though I won't be participating in the IST deal you linked, since an unflavoured option is surprisingly important to me, I still managed to give thanks four separate times for your useful posts, and without which I would never have discovered CanadianProtein.com. Fate works in mysteriously splendid ways on extremely useful forums such as RFD.

I have ordered from canadianprotein a few times in the past. The taste isn't all that great and I have tried vanilla and chocolate. I had a problem with not getting my order and their customer service is horrible. Eventually they just stopped responding to my emails about where my order was and never got my money back. Lucky for me it was just a bunch of samples so I was only out $15 or so. Now I buy from true nutrition and couldn't be happier with the product or the service.

Just something to consider.

I've had no problems from Canadianprotein. Their unflavored protein is exactly what I expected. Too bad you didn't use a credit card as that would have helped you get your money back.

Hmm 12 posts... do you work for True nutrition? Just pondering.

No, I don't work for True Nutrition. I actually recommended Canadian Protein to people in the past because their service WAS good and the product arrived fast. That is until they decided that my $15 is more important than the hundreds of $$$ I was spending on their product every year. Just sharing my experience with CP, that's all.

It might not. No one is certain. We'd all like to see it happen.

We all hope it does but given an overall increase in the basic cost of whey, Pepsico and Kraft buying up a whole lot of the whey supply, and supplement producers finding it thus more expensive to produce consumer-grade whey (and given that they will pass their added costs along to us), another Kaizen sale at Costco seems unlikely...

(egg on my face if there is a sale tomorrow. lol.)

I did some cost analysis, and when you consider that 10g of a scoop is nothing but filler, ~3lbs of the powder is non protein. You can check my math (35g scoop, 25g is protein, therefore 10g is something else. 454g is 1lb, therefore 454/35 is ~13. 10g is 0.022lbs, which 13*0.022 is 0.286lbs. Multiply that by 10lbs to get 2.86lbs) If that's wrong, then I am a big noob. So you are paying for a lot of filler, where if you pay a little more for a cleaner, purer protein, you use less and gain more, and don't ingest a bunch of fillers.

Or more simply, it is given on the label (pic in the OP) 71.4g protein per 100g = 71.4% protein by weight.

It's a blend/concentrate so should expect a protein percentage in the 70s like other blends (Allmax All Whey, ON 100%, etc.).

LOL!

Well, I paid around 94$ for 6.6lbs of Iso Sensation 93, and recieved 65$ worth of free gifts from supplementscanada.com. Mind you, I don't find the full $65 in value, more like $20 of stuff i'd actually use.

For a well reviewed protein, I think the deal is better. And I am sure there are even better deals out there.
