Are all ultimate nutrition products shit?

Whey sensation goes right through me. I got chocolate, never again.

I agree Muscle Juice 2544 is loaded with sugar, BUT most other weight gainers that have less sugar are loaded with artificial sweeteners.... is it not better to stomach the 'natural' sugar that MJ has as opposed to the artificial sweeteners that the majority of other weight gainers have?

Muscle Juice is a weight gainer that i can finally stomach.... and i've tried lots.... I take 8 scoops a day along with 3-4 meals, 2 - when i wake up, 2 - 30 min pre workout, 2 - 30 min post workout , and 2 before bed..... i'm finally putting on weight (albeit not much) but i am still lean and healthy!!!

I guess what i'm asking is what's a better brand name weight gainer...One loaded with 'sugar' or a gainer with 53g of sugar less but loaded with Artificial sweeteners? and yes i know sugar = empty calories and artificial sweeteners = no calories!

I really liked the taste of the Ultimate Nutrition Prostar chocolate and the strawberry. It was only 120 calories per serving too. I haven't found a protein powder that tasted as good yet.

just an FYI you and rich are talking about different pro stars i assume beacuse he said "back in the day"

rich, they re released pro star about a year or so ago i haven't tried it but i know alot of people were liking it because of the taste/cost they had 5lb tubs of it on promo at some stores

Weird, for some reason I only saw this page, and completely missed everything else.

Still, with places like truesupplements that offer blends of 50% iso and 50% concentrate for cheaper (only $35 for 5lbs!) buying prostar dosen`t seem like a good deal to me no matter how you slice it.

I never like Ultimate, as posted their powders are really grainy and just seem 'cheap' but I guess what you pay for. So many sponsors here sell similar products of better quality at the same pricepoint so I see no reason to buy anything from Ultimate these days.

I agree, their BCAA powder is brutal! Although any "pure" BCAA powder doesn't taste very good. I just put it all into caps and swallow 4 with my NO mix pre-workout and 4 with my grape juice, creatine and glutamine mix post-workout. No more bitter taste, just the sandy crea-gluta mix at the bottom of my cup.. (also from Ultimate... =)

Problem with this gainer for most, is its mostly WPC 34.. so boatloads of lactose.. leaving the user bloated to hell... You can tell as first ingredient is protein on ingredient deck.. yet its 155g carbs to 55g protein... not saying might not be good for you, but that's why other users are not happy with it..
