You may see various cheap protein powders on the market, but the question is are they worth it? Well our team members at bodymaxsupplements.co.uk took it upon ourselves to review such products. On first look the protein powders seem to very reasonably priced, some as much as half the price, but is buying this product false ecconomy? There are many brands now producing a lower grade protein powder to compete with an aggressive market and also developing a cheaper alternative for those who are wanting to spare some cash. We took 4 different protein powders and compared them to high quality protein alternative from the same brands/manufacturer.

If you have tried such products before you may notice that the mix of a high quality protein is far greater than that of a cheaper protein. We found that the protein was very powdery and grainy and didnt mix well unlike that of its higher product. Powder remained in the bottom of the shaker cup like a thick gloopy mush! Not very appertising indeed. Our tasters found the flavours to be very different and left a perculier after taste (some up to an hour later), some scored ok but were no where near the flavour quality of the higher priced protein.

Our panel said that they found themselves using more of the product to try and make the flavour stronger but then you get less servings in the tub. Therefore you end up using more of the product sooner and needing to buy more if thats what you decide to do.

The lower grade protein on average sat heavy on the stomach and made training very difficult due to our bodybuilders feeling bloated and generally queasy. They all took the protein an hour prior to training but still found the cheaper products hard to stomach. There may be cheaper alternative proteins on the market that compare well to their higher end brands but out of the 4 different products we tried, we still prefer to pay that bit extra for a better product.

Way to save money: If your looking to skimp on the price of a product save your money on buying cheaper milk rather than the protein itself.

Summary of all products:

Cheaper Protein: Powdery (4/4) Flavour Good (1/4) Flavour Bad: (3/4) Bloating: (4/4) After Taste: (4/4)

Coming soon to Body Max Supplements is the MuleBar!!! A 65g nutritional bar which is available in a range of flavours to provide you with a energy source that lasts. Like Clif Bars, MuleBars are a great source of fuel and come in very handy sized bars and taste fantastic.

Here is a bar with ingredients you can recognise. A mixture of dried fruit, oats and nuts provides a lot of carbohydrate, and the low fat content means this bar would be quickly digested.

It’s soft and easy to eat. Not as sticky as pure apricots, not as dry as oats. The makers characterise it as ‘fuel for adventure’. The sugars (from rice syrup and apricots) will be absorbed rapidly and starchy carbohydrate (from oatmeal and oats) will provide a sustained flow of sugars into the bloodstream.

We are hoping to have these in stock by the end of this week (23.10.09) and as a launch product we will be offering these at an introductory price at a special discounted rate for 3 days on launch. Helping you to buy your energy supplements and saving you a packet at the same time.

MuleBars Come in Flavours: Apple Strudel, Chocolate Fig Fiesta, Hunza Nut, Mango Tango, Liquorice Allsport and Pinacolada.

In addition to their energy bar range Mulebar also produce a recovery bar. “Mule ReFuel”, a kicking, high protein recovery bar in chocolate and date, and chocolate and banana flavours.

About Mulebar

A long time ago on a mountain far, far away in the Andes we realized there was a fundamental problem with food while exercising strenuously. What was available didn’t taste real and because of that it didn’t taste good and couldn’t be easily digested. This was the birth of Mulebar™. We set the company up as a 1% For The Planet Company, dedicated to donating 1% of sales every year to environmental groups protecting our natural world. Two of our four Mulebars are Fairtrade accredited but watch this space as we are working hard with fruit and other ingredient producers around the world to make all our bars Fairtrade. Over the past 3 years, prototype after prototype has been made, tried by friends, raced with in South Africa’s Cape Epic 9 day stage race, climbed with in the Alps, wheeled along with in the Etape du Tour and used in many children’s lunch boxes.
