(More customer reviews)I used this product years ago as a teenager.I was very skinny and this helped me add some overall weight.Something to keep in mind with most weight gainers (including this one) is that they are basically sugar based with some protein and vitamins thrown in.Maltodextrin, fructose etc. are all sugars of various forms- you'll see them on the label.With that in mind I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who is already at a bodyfat level higher than 15% or so (i.e. those who can't see their abs) as this much sugar in a product is guaranteed to add some fat as well as muscle.To those with a super speedy metabolism the effect is minimized and carbohydrates (sugar) are protein and muscle sparing.
Also, if you are very budget minded, a good protein powder (bulk whey concentrate for example) mixed with table sugar will basically do the same thing and come out a bit cheaper.In fact, that way you can "customize" the ratio of protein to sugar based on your particular needs.But, if you are looking for something with a relatively cheap price (less than $5 per lb.) and pretty good taste, this may be a good product for you.

Product Description:
If packing on size in a thort time is your goal, nothing helps you do it like HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900. HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 is so effective at quickly adding and maintaining size that it's the favorite gainer among professional football players, like Mike Flynn of the Baltimore Ravens, and is the gainer of choice of many coaches and collegiate sports programs. If you've ever tried to eat a thousand or more extra calories in one sitting to bulk up, you already know it can leave you feeling bloated, full, and sluggish. But you also know that it's the additional calories that are going to put the extra size and weight you need on your frame. So, if you need to get bigger or heavier or both, HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 makes it simple to add those desperately needed extra calories to your diet without having to walk around feeling like you just had Thanksgiving Dinner twice. What's more, those all-important calories are packed with the nutrients you need: You get thirty-five grams of nitrogen-rich protein, vitamins, minerals, energy-rich carbohydrates, and much much more. In addition, HEAVYWEIGHT GAINER 900 is an ideal choice for teen-age athletes looking to add some mass to their bodies.

(More customer reviews)I have been using this product for the past 2 years and generally have 2-3 shakes a day as meal or snack substitutes. This, in combination with exercise has helped me shed 30# and maintain it. It tastes pretty good - dissolves instantly and has a smooth texture. The amount of fat is low, but it makes a balanced meal.

Product Description:
MRM Metabolic Whey is a delicious, creamy, 100-percent whey protein formula. Loaded with BCAA's and Glutamine, this unique protein blend Meta-Pro is bioengineered to increase muscle size, strength and promote lean body mass.
Meta-Pro delivers an optimal source of whey protein, produced by a state-of-the-art, low temperature, ultra-filtration process. This unique processing yields a high biological value protein, rich in branched chain amino acids and glutamine for advanced recovery. This provides increased nitrogen retention without causing indigestion, stomach cramps or pains. In addition, Meta-Pro is fortified with cross flow, ultra-filtered whey protein isolate and nitrozyme. The addition of nitrozyme helps break down long and short chain peptides into smaller, more readily absorbable amino acids for maximum absorption and digestion.
The problem with the high protein diet used by many athletes and dieters is that the body is unable to naturally digest and absorb high amounts of protein at one time. Nitrozyme helps the body release more amino acids from ingested protein than the action of digestible enzymes alone. When an athlete takes Metabolic Whey, the body can absorb more free amino acids directly into the muscle tissue, which helps to increase muscle size, strength and lean body mass. This protein formula is French vanilla flavored.

(More customer reviews)This product is among the few protein shake mixes I can use because I have severe lactose intolerance.Other products on the market, even those with very low lactose levels, are problematic for me.This one presents no problems at all, mixes smoothly and tastes wonderful.
Before I leave for work at 6:30 AM, I need a fast breakfast, so this product is ideal.I mix it with frozen fruit and orange juice and often take extra along in a thermos for later in the morning.It's great!

Product Description:
100% pure ultra-filtered/micro-filtered (uf/mf) whey protein isolate, the finest quality and most easily assimilated whey protein isolate on the market. the micro-filtration method isolates the natural whey proteins in a highly concentrated form without fat. this process leaves 99% of the peptides undamaged and undenatured. 100% whey protein has the lowest molecular weight of any protein. 100% whey protein is rich in the highly bioactive fractions glycomacropeptide, immunoglobulin, glycopeptides and lactoferrin. these components support muscle tissue. berries naturally possess a high orac (oxygen radical absorption capacity) value. orac is the measure of antioxidant activity. blackberries contain anthocyanin pigments which have powerful antioxidant properties. scientific experts suggest that blueberries possess as much as 10% more antioxidant strength than many other berries. strawberries possess a very high orac value. raspberries are a rich source of vitamin c and fiber and possess powerful antioxidant capabilities similar to blackberries. acai berries are similar to blueberries and contain all essential amino acids. goji berries are unique in that they contain polysaccharides that provide antioxidant properties.

Dymatize Nutrition ISO-100 Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Fuzzy Navel, 2-Pound Tub Review
Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)By now I've tried both the chocolate and fuzzy navel flavors (my first review commented on vanilla only).Both chocolate and fuzzy navel taste outstanding!Highly recommended along with vanilla!I now keep all three available to supplement my daily meals (vanilla, chocolate, and fuzzy navel).I've been using the vanilla and chocolate much longer than fuzzy navel, but so far the fuzzy navel flavor is nearly addictive to my tastes (my craving for it may eventually pass, but so far I like it as well if not better than chocolate or vanilla).The fuzzy navel flavor tastes close to vanilla with a very light touch of peach and orange added.In a way the flavor reminds me of the "lemon" ice cream or frozen custard I ate as a kid; it really didn't taste like lemon at all, but was more interesting and tastier than vanilla.The fuzzy navel flavor is so subtle you could probably use it in frozen fruit smoothies instead of vanilla (I haven't tried this yet) and not notice much of a difference (and this would allow you to reduce your inventory from three flavors to two flavors by dropping the vanilla).
I am on my 3rd 5 lb container of vanilla, 2nd chocolate and 1st fuzzy navel. I often pack a lean lunch (including a small amount of animal protein, fruit and vegetable) and premix four servings of ISO*100 to take with me when I go off to work for the day (following something similar to BFL, eating a meal every two hours or so) and all flavors keep well throughout the day when premixed (or even keep well overnight).I still prefer to mix on the fly when I am going to be around the house (see my previous vanilla review for how to chill your water with ice without blending any foam into your delicious meal replacement). When I start weight training again I will add two additional daily servings of ISO*100 (to bring daily protein intake up to one gram of protein per pound of body weight when including my two regular meals).
It does not matter whether the IOS*100 you buy has a white or black plastic container, or whether what you buy is labeled as a "gourmet" flavor or not.Don't pay more; if you hunt online price you should be able to find 5 lb quantities for somewhere around $60 or less.As far as I can tell, Dymatize has replaced their old blends with new blends labeled "Gourmet" and part of that upgrade involves changing the container color from white to black.The last time I ordered online, the picture of what I ordered showed a white container and did not include the word Gourmet on the flavor label; what I received in the mail was the black container with the Gourmet labeling.My first two containers of vanilla were the old recipe in the white containers; and compared to the newer gourmet black container this older style vanilla was slightly "grainy" when thoroughly mixed compared to the newer ISO*100 products from Dymatize (my chocolate and fuzzy navel were ever grainy but these have always been in black containers).
Regarding Dymatize's use of Sucralose; although you can find some limited negative press on this particular artificial sweetener, it is one of the most recently developed zero-carb sweeteners and considered by most authorities to be much healthier than earlier popular artificial sweeteners.If anything better comes along in terms of "health" and "taste" I'm sure Dymatize will be quick to pick it up.In the meantime, having a pure high protein low carb drink is a great convenience.I still have not found a better or comparable product.Thank You Dymatize and all the retailers selling this at affordable prices.

(More customer reviews)This is a great protein mix. I'm not a big fan of dairy and so avoid most protein powders from cow's milk. I mix the Jay Robb, vanilla, egg white protein with Almond Breeze unsweetened chocolate milk, add a little bit of stevia - and it's a wonderful, delicious protein drink. (For an extra kick, add a little cinnamon.) Plus, being on a low sugar and carb diet, the resulting drink has very little carbs and no sugar calories.You'd never know it though... it takes like a milkshake! Yummy!
