NSI Whey Protein Complex with BCAAs. Glutamine and Glutamine Precursors Chocolate -- 5 lbs

NSI Whey Protein Complex with BCAAs. Glutamine and Glutamine Precursors Chocolate -- 5 lbs

Provides 22 grams of protein per serving! Naturally sweetened, with no artificial flavors or colors! How Does NSI® Natural Whey Protein Complex Work? Whey protein is derived from cow's milk and provides the body with several important amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine and valine. It may help with muscle tissue maintenance, speeding recovery time after workouts and providing immune system support. Unlike milk protein, whey protein does not contain fat or lactose sugar. And unlike other whey protein products, NSI® Natural Whey Protein Complex doesn't contain aspartame or other artificial sweeteners. Instead, we use xylitol and stevia, two plant-based, all-natural sweeteners, both low in calories and delicious-tasting. NSI® Natural Whey Protein Complex also contains Aminogen®, a naturally derived plant enzyme ingredient that “jump starts” the protein digestive process by bursting large, bonded and chained amino acids into smaller free form amino acids. Aminogen® has also been found to help with some of the common side effects of high protein dieting, such as gas, bloating and indigestion. NSI® Natural Whey Protein Complex is better because it:. - "Comes in a five" pound canister, with enough powder for almost 70 servings! - Can be mixed easily with a spoon into your favorite beverage, or added to blender-made shakes and smoothies. Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

no fake flavor, October 18, 2009
By rhoni from miami fl

"for years i've been searching for a protein that doesn't upset my stomach and has a natural flavor. this is the one. I enjoy the chocolate over the vanilla, but they're both delicious. I add less water to get a rich delicious flavor"

Thumbs Down, October 18, 2009
By umassjem from Middlesex County, Massachusetts

"Stevia/Xylitol Sweetener Combo is Sickly Sweet - I could not tolerate this whey protein powder formula at all.

I have tried so many protein powders and will try anything once, this is one of the worst.

I have gone back to the whey protein powder that I have used for years - Jarrow Whey Protein (Carribbean Chocolate) - it is by far the best tasting protein I have ever had.

Chunky, October 16, 2009
By HoHoHo

"This product, though delicious and not too sweet, is hard to mix with water or milk. It is chunky and you have to chew the chunks. The chocolate flavor is really good though. There is a lot of actual cocoa in it. I wish it would dissolve better though."

Best I've Had, October 6, 2009
By theSaw from North Carolina

"This is the best I've had because it's all natural and doesn't contain aspartame or sucralose. The stevia is great. At first I thought it tasted metallic, but I must have gotten used to it, because I really like the way it tastes now. But who cares about taste anyway? After a workout I can eat anything. This is a great product at a great price. Stay away from aspartame and sucralose (splenda). There is evidence these artificial sweeteners are very bad for you.

It mixes ok, not great. If you put it in warm water it will mix much better. Like I said though, who cares? It is full of whey protein and is all natural.

I just didn't care for the taste, October 6, 2009
By sneryl from Seattle, WA

"I think this protein powder is a good product in what it offers. No artificial sweetener is hard to find in a powder. I just didn't really care for the texture and taste. I think next time I'll go with a smaller container of a product I haven't tried, to make sure I like it. =P"

Decent protein for less, September 30, 2009
By JRT from The South

"This protein was only OK, in my opinion. MY wife and I both agreed that its flavor was a bit flat, however we did like that it did not contain all of the "bad" forms of artificial sweeteners.

Also, neither of us felt like it helped as much as other proteins after we would take it.

This isn't the worst protein we've tried, but I don't think we will buy it again

Good Whey Protein Buy, September 29, 2009
By dwpoyner from Raleigh, NC

"This is not the best tasting whey ever, and I'm sure it isn't the highest quality protein ever, but this one good buy for what you get. This is a blend of concentrate and isolate, so you get two states of protein for your body to use. The only thing I can find any cheaper is a strictly concentrate whey.

If you're looking for decent protein that doesn't break the bank, buy this. It will take a little while for your taste buds to get used to it, but when you do, you'll be taking a decent, no artificial sweetener whey.

I will buy again.

Protein powder, September 26, 2009

Best tasting protein I've tried!, July 13, 2009
By Stefano from Florida

"I've tried many different whey protein powders since I started working out and none have tasted as good as the NSI Whey powder. I just had my first shake after my workout and it was actually quite enjoyable compared to my previous shake! My muscles already feel less fatigued....and you can't beat the price! Get this product!"

Great Stuff!, July 10, 2009
By Jack7 from Roswell, GA

"This is the best protein shake I have found. Have been using it for about a year. Does NOT contain toxic Splenda (Sucralose) or Aspertame like all the weight lifter formulas do. This is sweetned with just stevia and xylitol (both natural). Tastes great! Kudos to NSI!"

Tasty and affordable..., July 9, 2009
By guster9255 from Denver, CO

"We love this protein powder. It mixes well, is very creamy and the price is right. I also like the fact that natural sweeteners are used and the ingredients list is brief as compared to some other brands. I haven't tried the vanilla but the chocolate is great!"

Money waste due to poor taste, June 30, 2009
By StarihaFam from Alabama

"Trust me when I say this, I've been in the Bobybuilding scene since 1991 and this is by far the worse protein product I've tasted in 18 yrs. I have tasted and have been able to gut allot of things, but this one tops the list. I don't even take this protein when I'm in a pinch. Sorry NSI.......you have some great products, but this isn't one of them."
