MET-Rx Natural Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla, 5 lb, Easy Mix Protein Powder, 25 g Protein, 5g BCAAs from Ultra Filtered Whey Protein, for Pre/Post Workout, Gluten Free, With Vitamin D and Vitamin C

I've been using this product for years to support my fitness journey and maintain muscle mass as I age. I put a scoop in my morning coffee. It's like a delicious vanilla latte, sweetened with stevia! What could be better? I'm so disappointed it's not in stock anymore.Please Met-RX, bring it back!!

I am leaving a review for the flavor. I am not a nutritionist or a chemist, so I can't speak to any of that stuff. Also, I've had the product for only two days, so it's not possible at this time to tell how well it influences my performance.A little about me, first. I mix shakes with whole milk because my muscular physiology responds well to a high fat content in my diet. Most of my training is focused on building strength and power. I really don't do much in the way of cardio, although that's not by choice.The flavor is actually very nice. It may be because of the milk, but I find it to be fairly rich. I'm really not sure why these people are saying the flavor isn't very strong. It has a dark chocolate flavor which I find to be full, satisfying, and natural. This isn't like some product flavors (I'm looking at you, MusclePharm Cookies and Cream from Costco) that walk into your house, set your chairs on fire, and then slap you in the face. This flavor chills with you on the couch and generally doesn't make a scene. It's very pleasant.This may also be psychosomatic, but I feel like it tastes less processed than most other wheys. It just tastes ... "right." This one doesn't have a lot of extra stuff in it, and I feel good after having a shake. I don't feel bloated, pregnant, flatulent, or like a bloated pregnant flatulent lady. I bought this because I tried ON's caramel fudge flavor and it gave me headaches — I usually don't have any issues with them, just that flavor specifically. It was, however, enough to get me to try something new. This one works well, and costs $14 less. We'll see how good it does over time!Addendum 2016-06-14: I went through a jar of this, then a jar of MusclePharm whey that was on sale at Costco, and now I'm on another jar of this.I have noticed no difference between this and any other whey I've tried performance-wise. Now, I haven't gone through any scientific stress tests, so I'm just speaking from how I feel. But honestly, it gives you all the protein you need and nothing you don't. It's a great protein supplement. My strength training is progressing well and my tendonitis is on the decline. I should note that I also use ON casein at night in combination with this.For the money, you can't go wrong. I would tell any friend looking for protein about this product.

I think this stuff in combination with "Life Extension Wellness Code Muscle Strength and Restore Formula" was key to my success... I researched all of the ingredients and there is an abundance of creditable research on most of them. I am 70 years old and weighed 230 lbs in December 2021 and am only 5' 9 1/2" tall. Doctor said my LDL cholesterol was dangerously high, and I was pre-diabetic. Started working out and basically, just reduced my portion size of foods, since I was eating good food, just way too much of it. Granted that the walking, stair climbing and resistance training were largely responsible. But I have to say I am shocked at how much muscle I am gaining at my age when it should be almost impossible to do anything but maintain what I have. I have put over a 1/3 inch more on my biceps/triceps and over 3/4 inch in my quadriceps (upper leg) since Dec 2021 and it is now July 2022. And I have made all this muscle gain even with losing over 27 pounds (I am now 203.5 lbs) .. I can't help but think that this product, esp the HMB + MetRx, is the reason for the gain of muscle.. Almost unheard of at my age. And I've never felt better and my cholesterol and AIC numbers are back to normal.....Highly recommend you try!!

Tastes good some positive results, hard to message. But high in cholesterol

Want to get big and swole in a few weeks? Then take some HGH. Looking for a natural protein powder for a quick meal replacement? This product may be for you.I have used several brands of protein powders before: muscle milk, musclepharm, on, progenex to name a few. The amount of protein is equivalent to many of those powders. It also has the BCAAs (which haven't been proven) to assist with your muscle growth. I usually use a shaker and mix this with water right before and after a workout. Timing is everything, right?The taste isn't as great as the best tasting protein powder that I have had, but it isn't bad either. Many have commented on the aftertaste. There is a hint of one, but no more than many other powders. Remember that this doesn't have gum in the ingredients to hide the aftertaste.Furthermore, if you know what stevia extract taste like, then you shouldn't be offended by the taste. Out of all the powders I have used, this is the least sweet. I have only used the vanilla flavor so far.As far as packing more protein for the punch, this does it. Because of the cost, you get more protein for every coin you spend while still getting a "natural" product. Just be aware that this product does have fructose in it as well. Many bodybuilding regimens nowadays call for a quick small dose of sugar post workout so I guess this will satisfy that.In the end, I would recommend this protein powder for any workout enthusiast. Just remember, it aint a miracle drug: it is a meal replacement. Eat well, work hard and sleep are the true natural ingredients to the build you want. Good luck!
