Oh my! There's only 7 servings in a small tub for $42.50? A large 15 servings for $74.95?

That's probably what I was missing! I do not completely want to cancel it out though as it looks great. Just insanely expensive...

I agree, this is insanely expensive. But, I will need to read a ton of reviews and get some proven facts that are not on the website before I can make a decision.

amazon has a lot of positive reviews for the product. there are a lot of people out there gullible enough to pay that price for little actual benefit. like i said, go to trueprotein and get an mrp there and add the vitamin mix. that will cost you about $11 a pound. should satisfy your desperate need to spend money on a decent mrp.

Hmmm...now you have me wanting to price up a homemade mix. There is more than protein and vitamins in there.

Well, I am ordering a single serving just to see what it's like. I will have to experience this for myself and I will let you know what I think!

I totally agree with you on this. That stuff is garbage. I'll just stick with my Optimum Nutrition Whey protein and Cell-Tech.

OK, to me it's not all about protein. I am trying to reflect a healthy and radiant 23 year old man. I'm trying to do a lot more than gain muscle!

Besides, their are discount websites out there that offer pretty exceptional deals. Needless to say I found 10 packets of these for $28.00. You can use just 1 packet or use 2. If I decide to use these, I will just have 1 packet every morning on its own to give me a complete boost of energy, enhanced mood and all over radiance. That's less than $85 a month.

Gotta think smart, look into available options and hunt for deals!

Optimum Nutrition Whey, GNC Mega-man multi vitamin, a balanced nutrition plan (i.e., NOT A DIET), Clinique or L'Occitane skincare and a vigorous exercise routine will get you exaclty what you want - to be Radiant.
