I've been told this stuff really works and tastes really good(cookies n cream), but not sure how safe it is.

i went through a jug of myofusion (chocolate flavored). it was very yummy but its made of lower quality protein and it kicked off my gas issues. its worth a shot but dont be surprised if you start making more stinkies. ive used a lot of different powders over the years. id say the yummiest was muscle milk but it has extra fat and calories (people say its the good fat) and its pricier than some other options. my favorite flavors were rootbeer float (not sure if thats still out there) and blueberries and cream.

Exactly what I am using right now. Tastes great and it's the easiest mixing powder I've ever tried.

I am a "by-the-book" person when it comes to all supplements. I use ONLY the suggested serving and dont goof around with taking more or anything similar.

this doesnt really make much sense when it comes to protein powder. its like saying you can only eat a 4 ounce piece of chicken because thats what the recipe says is a serving. if you want 6 ounces of chicken, then take 6 ounces. protein powder is just food. its not a pharmaceutical.

i got my 3 pound container of isolate advantage at costco today. ill probably look to get a 10lb container of NOW isolate for after this one is out.

I've done some research into this since my protein powder contains it.
Nothing conclusive or overly damning on the net in turns of its harm.
Also very interestingly, I looked at some of the very popular yogurts in the supermarket and nearly all of them have it!

Besides Optimum Nutrition which most of us use, has anyone tried this one? Supposedly no artificial sweetners. How does it taste? Thanks.
