However, Hydro Whey is expensive and a lesser value, but why is it worth it?
First off, for all the hard gainers like myself out there, the increased content of BCAA's is important for protein anabolism. You can only create as much as the weakest link and without a single amino acid or fuel to create the essential ones, you are falling short.
Secondly, this stuff mixes like a champ! We've all been there with the proteins that fail to mix well, leaving clumps to swallow and dry powder to lick out of our cups and shaker bottles. I highly recommend a shaker bottle Blender Bottle W/Wire Ball-Large 28 Oz. Colors Vary for all mixing purposes, for its convenience as well as efficiency. However, this is the ONLY protein I've ever been able to mix in a cup when a mixer/blender was not available and there are no clumps at all. It does produce a more frothy, lighter shake than does Gold Standard or even Platinum Hydrobuilder, making it easier to consume and break down. The taste is much smoother than its thicker Gold Standard counterpart. It will curb your appetite slightly (characteristic of all proteins), but not as bad as other protein shakes do which can be important when you need to consume that post-workout meal.
Now, as to whether "hydrolyzed" whey is better than the regular stuff, that's for you to decide. It has worked for me, and I'm not going back to Gold Standard anytime soon for all the reasons above, but remember scientific 'philosophies' or lab work does not all translate to the same benefits in real-life applications like the human body (where everyone reacts differently). Hydro-Whey has been a winner for me, and I've tried many, many proteins before: Muscletech, BSN, Optimum, etc.
Please do your research as different proteins have different applications and this stuff is reserved for primarily upon waking and immediately post-workout. If you're looking for meal replacement or anabolic longevity, look elsewhere. Hydro-whey provides instant fuel when your body needs it most, and to maximize muscle gains, I'm willing to pay a premium after working hard in the gym day in, day out.
Mixes well, tastes great, provides lean protein with low sugar, and easy on my stomach. However, it does contain maltodextrin just so you are aware if you're trying to avoid that.
I hope this helps fellow GB-ers in need of protein sources. GB is life changing, and finding adequate protein has been a real challenge for me. I'm not a morning person and can't handle a big breakfast. A morning drink made with ON works for me and supplies me with half of the protein I need all day. But you can have them any time you want. Yes, my hair loss started stabilizing and is getting better. My fatigue is improving. I had really gotten myself down a hole 6-9 months after GB surgery, and I don't expect miracles overnight, but I'm really seeing my health improve after getting more protein in my diet. I'll give my basic recipe for a ON protein drink, but you can try many variations on it. Good luck to you all in your weight loss and health journey.
In an 8 to 16 oz. mug or glass, add 1/2 cup more or less of water. Add a teaspoon or two of instant coffee crystals (I use Folger's classic roast) and stir. Add 2 to 4 squirts of Torani sugar free syrup. Add one scoop of ON and stir. Add more liquid to taste. This can be more water, milk (low fat for less calories), coffee and milk, coffee, or? I then like to add a couple of ice cubes, but that's optional. The variations on this can be endless. Use coffee or not. Use milk or not. Use Torani or not. Try different Torani flavor combinations (1/2 caramel and 1/2 vanilla is good). Vary the amounts/portions of any of the ingredients to taste. I don't use any measuring cups or spoons now for this. Less dirty things to wash and the measurements don't need to be exact. Whatever glass or cup is handy, a spoon out of the silverware drawer and available ingredients, and a scoop of ON. I haven't tried fruit juice yet, but was thinking that OJ and low fat milk (no coffee) might be creme-sicle-ish. GB-ers be careful to check the grams of sugars in juice servings. Not sure if Torani makes sugar free OJ syrup, but I know they make some sugar free fruit flavors.
After running out using the small ON container size, I now order the 3.5 pound size and keep a spare on hand. ON doesn't seem to be available at many retail stores, so Amazon is the best source I've found for speed and best price. When I occasionally run out of ON and fill in with something else in a pinch - Yuck!
Pros: Easy to digest ( I can drink this before a meal), you won't feel bloated, blend easily with just water, good flavor, not too sweet, 30G of protein per serving
Cons: Expensive (price increased way too much), Size is small for a $100+ Protein powder, Not sure if it is any different compared with other protein brands.
P.S: If you are comparing this to the their regular protein, the red label one, that one is sweeter and harder to blend/mix.
