 Thank Goodness March 18, 2008
I've heard about this one from other people, and I've been using different products for the past 15 years, from Met-Rx to Muscle Milk. Everything here and there has been mediocre, and some tasted good. I was looking for something with both fast proteins - whey, and slow for evening use and staying satiated - casein.
I actually bought an older brand protein right before this, something that i actually liked. But they changed the forumula, took out the aspartame (which is a good thing taking it out finally) - but it tasted like cr*p! A sort of buttered chalk dough with some chocolate mixed in.
That was it. I took the recommendations of many, that this and muscle milk, and ON are some of the better tasting proteins. I returned that other protein, and got this one in chocolate milkshake. And it tastes good - a sort of smooth neutral tasting chocolate, and I don't regret it.
 Darn good product. February 19, 2008
Syntha-6 rates pretty high for me in a few important categories.
- It mixes easily. In fact, it will mix with just a little spoon action. Anyone who uses any sort of nutritional powder knows you can't over-rate this quality. We've all gagged down clumpy morning smoothies, and scrubbed gunk out of our mixers. This stuff mixes like a dream.
- Really does seem to provide sustained energy. I've felt better since using it, had more energy, and less inclination to snack.
- Delivers bang for the buck. It's one of the more reasonably-priced alternatives I've used.
However it does fall short of my expectations on one point: It's WAY too sweet. Cloyingly sweet, I'd say. I've taken to mixing up some fruit with it to cut some of the sweetness. I'm not particularly happy about this, but it won't keep me from finishing the jar. It will make me cautious about trying any of the other products in this line, though.
Bottom line: If you don't mind uber sweet products, this is a good choice.
Can't beat it. February 13, 2008
I've tried quite a few different brands of protein powder over the years, but this is by far the smoothest and best tasting. I have an Amazon subscription which also makes it cheaper than most other brands.
response to post workout January 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this comment useful.
I dont know what your talking about but this is not optimal for post workout... Hence it is slow digesting. 100% whey products are way more effective for post workout for fast absorption. This is good for protein and at night time. Casein protein can take from 4-7 hours to digest.
Best Tasting Protein Powder I've Tried January 23, 2008
Well, I'm not a professional body builder, but I've done my homework. BSN's Syntha-6 stacks up. I haven't tried nearly every protein powder out there - I've probably barely scratched the surface - but Syntha-6 is my favorite so far. I've tried MuscleMilk - it's ok.. Syntha has less fat - I'm a fan of VPX's Redline and ZeroImpact Bars and have tried VPX's ZeroImpact Graham Cracker and Chocolate powder (which ended up more like ZeroTaste.. it was awful. Thanks VPX.) - and I bought Syntha-6 based on the sole reviews of this site. I have to say I am an extremely happy customer. I chose this over MuscleTech's MuscleNitrous because so many people were raving about the taste of Syntha - and they're right. Let me say this again - the flavor of Syntha-6 is OUTSTANDING. I would say it tastes a lot like instant cocoa, or reduced fat chocolate milk, which is leaps and bounds over VPX's failed attempt at "chocolate". I'm going to be looking forward to my morning protein shake before I head off to the gym from now on, instead of feeling nausiated and holding my nose and I choke down another chalky drink. BSN, thank you for this wonderful protein mix. :)
