Post by: Raptor on August 18, 2012, 08:52:53 pm
It doesn't have carbs and it's beef derived:

  I have the muscle meds brand of beef protein and I like it a lot.  It tastes like hell but the amino profile and creatine content are great.  If youre sensitive on taste its not for you, if youre not its a decent change up from standard whey.

I have taken a look here:

http://supplementreviews.com/categories/protein/whey-protein

And it appears the products from "Optimum" are highly regarded. The question bears if the reviews are real or if the manufacturers have made some accounts to rate their own products high on these sites so they can sell them better...

Any idea?

  take those reviews with a grain of salt man. I mean, look at what they down rated it for, and look at the plus ratings.  Some of those products are getting massively raped for fucking taste, how it mixes, etc.  That shit is not that important in the grand scheme of things depending on what youre getting it for.

Of course. The only concern I have is if they are from real people giving honest reviews or from accounts made by those companies that sell the products and are in to give positive reviews on their own products.
