One of the best proteins I’ve ever tried for a reasonable price. Taste and effectiveness.

Summary: I have been supplementing my diet with protein powders, but I find that PEA based proteins make me very gassy, so I have been using WHEY instead. The manufacturer of a product that is consumed (e.g. food and health supplements) is very important to me. Word play on who actually made a product is very important.Recommendation: In the past couple of years, I have noticed that the country of origin has sometimes been stated to be "USA" per the Amazon product details (listing or images); HOWEVER, what is actually listed on the product contains a generic statement such as "distributed BY" or "manufactured FOR". I find myself having to read the fine print on the back of the package. Sometimes a product will have the "Made in the USA" on front, but the actual manufacturer is ambiguously stated.Observations: NUTRICOST offers +300 products at time of this review, with 18 being protein related. Their label states "Manufactured FOR", which does not clearly state WHERE or BY WHO the product was made. I was a little confused when I read the servings size is nine (9) for a 6.7 pound bottle, which also says 1-1/2 cups (for 24 ounces of water), this is going to be a giant mud pie! So I compared it to another 5 lbs offering (listed below). While that one has half the protein, 25g vs. 50 g, the calorie count is where you clearly see the "mass gain", a whopping 1240 calories vs. 140. This mass gain formula also contains a big dose of L-glutamine (2500mg) and Creatine Monohydrate (2500mg). They also offer a grass-fed option, which costs more but is more organic in nature, but does cost a little more.Pros: Purpose designed for massive mass gain.Cons: Ambiguous manufacturer; cost at $5/serving.Conclusion: At $45 for 9-servings, rating this 3-stars (ambiguous manufacturer information).Related Products:Nutricost Whey Protein Concentrate (Chocolate) 5LBS4.4 out of 5 stars 6,490 ratings | Search this pagePrice: $59.95 > 63 servings ( ~$1/serving )https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KITQCW2

My son likes the product and the taste.

Something thumps outside. I open the door - there's a box. I didn't order this. Not my problem. Ka-slam.Then again, I didn't pay for it. Whatever. Mass Gainer, 6.7 lbs. I can barely lift the tub. Double chocolate flavor. "Naturally flavored with other natural flavors." That's a lot of flavor. 1240 calories, 91% DV carbs per serving, 9 servings per tub. I text my nutrition coach friend. She replies immediately. "Do not put this in your body. Don't say I didn't warn you."Just one scoop. Just to prove ... something. That I can't be reasoned with? My brain nods: good enough for me. And it’s - like drinking a chocolate Easter bunny. I can't believe how good it is. Why would she keep me from this? Then it hits, and I'm reeling - I'm shaking - with - excitement! I text her back a wall of complete gibberish. "That'll be the maltodextrin," she says. "I hope you've learned your lesson."What? I haven't learned anything! This is unbelievable! I drink quart after quart, only stopping when I realize I could be lifting. I lift the tub. I lift the bar. I lift an elderly woman across the street. I feel my pecs and quads expanding. It all makes sense. I lift my grades. I feel my mind expanding.I'm gaining: not just mass, but energy, life itself. I lift my own spirit. I feel a new kind of fatness expanding outward into the cosmos. I'm the Buddha: I'm a baby, getting bigger. I laugh mirthfully as I watch the waves of my laughter roll gently across my belly's expanse. A battalion of restless elves swarms me and starts joyfully dancing to the beat of my heart. I am here with you. Stay with me. I am here with you now, and I am here with you now. We have already arrived where we always needed to be.We have everything to gain. It costs us nothing. We open the box together.
