Alright guys,

I was looking the Extreme Nutrition website and seen Extreme Whey and Extreme Protein, what is the difference?
I also couldnt help but notice that they cost half as much as the maximuscle stuff. DOH!!!!!!

Well, one has whey protein, the other has a mixture of whey, egg, casein proteins.

Whey is considered a better protein due to its high biological value but it is good to get a mix of proteins for the different amino acid ratio's
Whey protein is probably the better protein to use for before and straight after your workout as it is absorbed into the body quickly

Extreme Whey is a blend of whey isolate, whey concentrate and glutamine peptides. It's 67.5% protein, 16% carbs and 7% fat (all approx depending upon flavour).

Extreme Protein is whey concentrate, casein, Soya isolate and wheat protein concentrate. The reason these ingredients were chosen is that they were the 4 which allowed us to best mimic the amino acid profile found in human muscle tissue. It's 76.5% protein, approx 5% fat and 6% carbs, contains 22 aminos and is only 0.2% sodium and 0.1 lactose.

The reason we have both is that Whey is ideal at breakfast and after training when the body is best ready to absorb nutrients, Protein is ideal for before bed or throughout the day when you want a slow and steady absorption.

We use a blend of protein sources in all our products because it allows better absorption and has a time release effect.

Thanks for clearing that up, I think I'll pick up a few tubs of each when the student loan comes through

never thought about this b4, but this morning when i made my protein shake i didnt use the measuring jug i just added water straight from the tap into my blender. I underestimated the amount of water i needed and ended up with about 1/2 pint of protein. Question is does any1 think it matters how much water u add? Cos 2 be honest id rather neck the slighter thicker 1/2pint than the whole pint. Cant see why it wud matter but just thought id check, dont want 2 be missing out. :?

The most I use is 400ml, usually I use between 200ml and 300ml. Its your preferance really, If I use an extra scoop I'll use more water.
As long as it mixes enough and you get most of it down your neck - rather than stuck to the side of your container, its ok.

No it doesn't really matter how much water you add as long as you are drinking enough water throughout the day. I usually have about 300mls of water with 70g of whey protein as diluted too much it tastes awful.

Go Ahead Vinegar, knock yourself out
