Is GNC protein powder good?

Hulkeye · 09-Jan-06, 02:40 PM

I was wondering if you guys like the GNC brand 100%whey, or is there another one i could benefit from more. thanks

I use it a lot, it tastes good but is sometimes hard to mix. I also like ON. Doesn't taste as good, but it mixes better and has better macros.

thanks mav, it took my body a while to get used to 180 grams of protein a day so if its the same i think ill stick with my gnc, appreciate the feedback and keep it comming

What are you paying for GNC? I can buy ON Whey locally for $24.88 (US) for 5 lb. From what I've seen in the local GNC stores, Whey is around $45.00 for the same size 5 lb container.

its usually more expensive but they do the buy one get one deals and there mix berry flavor is bareable at best but better than other flavors ive tried.

Gearloose, where did you find the ON that cheap. My usual online retailer just went up to $28 for the 5 lbs (still cheap, but I could always go cheaper).

A local discount grocery store in Joplin, Mo. (30 miles from me) carries almost the entire Optimum Nutrition product line. I really don't know why, as the store is really oriented toward the budget-conscious shopper. My guess is that someone with the power to make purchasing descisions for the store is a bodybuilder. Most of the local gym rats know about it and give them plenty of business. Their supplement prices are WAY below the yuppiefied health stores around here.

I can get ON pure Creatine Monohydrate powder, 600 grams for under $17.

I have a gold card and if you buy during the frequent "buy one, get one 1/2 off" sales, you can get 12 pounds for just under $50. I have not been able to top that price anywhere.
