no link but its marketed as one of the best protiens out there as its not ment to be mixed with any artificial stuff or sugars so you are ment to get a very clean ripped bulk but the problem is its marketted on a channel that own the protien so heard some positives and negatives

Also, correct me if Im wrong but the human body can only process 30g of protein at a time so a 50g scoop would just waste 20g of it.
And yes..price is outrageous

I really have been laying off protein shakes lately, trying to just get it naturally
It's really not that hard to meet your daily requirments through natural food...this whole protein market is just BS to make people spend money all it does is make you constipated and fucks your kidneys up longterm...I had friend in highschool and early college who used to take 150-200g of protein a day I don't care HOW buff you are unless you're 250+ pounds of muscle you just don't need that much.

I don't know if I completely agree with that.
While I think that a majority of people who are buying protein are wasting money, I do think that there is some established science behind protein scoops.
You just need to be working out at a very high level and have a very clean/specific diet in order to benefit from supplemental protein.
I agree that most people are going to get plenty of protein in their normal diet. It's people who are either on restrictive diets (vegeterians/vegans), or people who are bodybuilding and on calorie restrictions that would need supplemental protein.
Someone who eats when they are hungry and drinks when they are thirsty and lifts/runs 4-5 times a week for general fitness purposes is not going to need to waste money on protein supplements.
Just my personal .02, and I've tried protein before, it didn't do much for me. I gained muscle, but, I was gaining muscle prior to consuming the supplements.

you realize that makes absolutely zero sense right. 26 grams of protein from tuna has the same exact amount of calories as 26 grams of protein from whey. its the 4/4/9
when you are at a caloric deficit, the last thing you want to do is drink a bunch of whey when your already hungry as f*** all day. idf anything you should be drinking whey when your at a caloric surplus building muscle. because your stomach is only so big. and it might be hard to eat anymore food by the time you hit 500 grams of carbs in a day

It all depends on what your diet is constructed of.
Yea, if someone is eating protein dense foods like tuna or chicken, and they are drinking liquids like chocolate milk... they probably wouldn't need a supplement. Even if they are on a calorie count.
If they are not getting enough protein due to their caloric restrictions, they might want to add a supplement to ensure they are getting enough protein.
That's all I'm saying. You can sit there and say, "well if their 1200 calories are all in milk and chicken, that's bulls---". Sure, it would be. If their 1200 calories are all in white bread and lemonade, they really need to supplement their diet with more protein.
Diet plays a big role in things. All I'm saying is that the notion that "supplemental proteins are 100% a scam" is not something I agree with. While I do think most consumers are throwing away their money, it's a legitimate product. It's just more of a specialized thing that a lot of companies have tried to push to the masses (and which enough of the masses have accepted without doing research).
I'm seeing the same thing with testosterone supplements right now. Every other commercial on the radio is telling everyone over the age of 30 to get their "T" checked if they "feel more tired than they did when they were 18, or, if their sexual performance isn't as good as it was in the past". It's a bunch of bulls---. There are so many valid reasons why a 32 year old man would feel more tired at 32 than they did at 18, that don't have anything to do with low testosterone. It's all pushed out to the masses to try to sell as many units or treatment pacakges as possible.
Ditto with depression medication, seems like every 3rd person I talk to is on Abilify or Paxil or Welbutrin... which is really weird considering that almost no one I knew 20-30 years ago were on depression medications, and the world seemed to get along just fine. It's not like every 3rd person was killing themeselves back then due to their severe depression that only pills could treat.
Do some people have low-testosteone and require treatment for it? Yes. Do some people have clinical depression that requires medication? Yes. Would some people benefit from supplmenetal protein? Yes.
Is the marketing for these things ridiculous? Absoultely, it targets gigantic market segments for things that really should be niche/specialized things.
That's all I'm saying.
