This article is for information only, it IS NOT questioning the quality or
factual evidence shown on each of the product labels quoted. We do not accept
responsibility for influencing your judgement when buying protein powder in
future.
We wanted to show how various different protein and whey supplements compare,
including Extreme Protein and Extreme Whey in a head to head test comparing
protein, fat and carb content, we also thought amino acid content would be
relevant as would value for money.
It is very hard to compare servings because everyone reccomends different
serving sizes, often tubs are available in different sizes too from company
to company so we compared them according to price per 100gr of powder, this
will show them all on a level playing field.
All the information was gathered by analysing the tubs containing these products
and subsequently the information each manufacturer gives on that product. This
information is bullshit free, no marketing, no gimmicks, no photos of anyone,
just what it says on the tubs, if you click on the name of the product you
will be taken to a page showing only the nutritional breakdown of each product
used in this study.
We hope this information goes a long way to showing you that the best quality
products are not necessarily the most frequently advertised ones or the most
expensive ones, none of the magazines ever contain anything like this, why?
Because they will not show you the most important information in an unbiased
manner for fear of embarrasing or losing any of their biggest advertisers and
the money they spend.
