  • Product review: Syntrax Nectar Whey Protien Isolate

    First let me copy the information directly from the Syntrax web site.

    NECTAR
    Whey Wicked Protein!


    Welcome to the critically acclaimed world of NECTAR™! Gone are the days of low quality whey protein. Gone are the days of those blah-tasting protein drinks that promise much but deliver little. NECTAR™ once-and-for-all breaks the mold by combining Promina, the highest quality whey protein isolate ever developed, with a flavoring system that is so fruitilicious that you will never drink another whey protein shake ever again. If you like the refreshing taste of fruit juice, you'll love NECTAR™! With its mouthwatering fruit juice flavors, NECTAR™ is truly a protein drink you will look forward to drinking each and every day. Whether it be Apple Ecstasy, Very Cherry Berry, or Caribbean Cooler, NECTAR™ will keep you coming back for more. What's more? Well, we did something totally amazing by engineering NECTAR™ to be so delicious that you can eat it right out of the container. Imagine putting a protein powder in your mouth and it tasting like candy. Imagine this protein powder having ZERO carbs and ZERO fat. Stop imagining! We've brought you NECTAR™!


    They make it sound amazing dont they? Thats what theie writesr get paid for...to make it sound good. But Im here to offer an unbiased opinion they didnt pay me...they just sent me the product and let you know what I thought.

    Upon first recieveing my sameple of Nectar, the first thing I did was look at the ingredients. Amongst all the jagon I didnt know were a few words that stood out to me: Bovine Serum Albumin and aspartame. Both of these products generally leave me with a dirty taste in my mouth. So I alreadt had a biased opinion on the product.

    I opened the package and poured my Apple Ecstacy flavor powder into my glass of water and stirred it up. It combined fairly easily with just a spoon and cool water.

    I looked down at this product with dread because I usually despise water mixed protien...but whos gonna mix apple flavor with milk? NOT ME!

    I drank it up in one fall swoop as I do all my protiens.... No nasty aspartame after taste.... And i didnt even catch a hint of the bovine serum at all. I was just left with a fruity apple taste in my mouth. Not too overpowering....but not that isolate taste well all grow to despise.

    I hopped over to http://www.dpsnutrition.com to see if they carried this product... and they did :2 Lb, DPS Price: $23.99

    I cant quite do the math but that seems to be a decent amount of servings for not too much money.

    This is a product I will be looking to buy in the future.

    Its got aspartame, and you can get 5lbs of Optimum's 100% whey for $1 more. I must admit that I was going to try it just for the taste, until one of their reps. spammed the mods here.

      lol but ive been using optimum for a year =-[ after a 10 pound bag of each flavor.. im tired of it lol

      Besides I like isolates more than standard whey for supplmental protien intake. This also isnt something I coul use all day... Mabey for my waking protien...
      Or becore bed because it has no carbs.

              although pro-rated is good, its not whey isolate, nor does it taste so good. I just tried the new Kiwi Starwberry Nectar, its is damn good.

                Whey is whey, IMO. I can never tell the difference in gains. As for the taste, I consider it to be the best tasting powder out there, of course I can see where someone may not like it.

                      I'm now using Nectar in addition to my whole-food proteins these days.. It's fantastic stuff, considering I'm on a pretty low-carb diet right now.. :)

                      I have Nectar 3 times a day; before breakfast, after my post-workout meal, and before bed.. Mixes quite well, has a light texture, no aftertaste.. And I thought dieting would be hell this year.. :D

                        I like the Pro Rated stuff for night time & for mixing in with my weight gainer shakes for additional grams of protein without the additional carbs & calories. I take Champion Nutrition's Super Heavy Weight Gainer 1200 (I only do half servings) since it tastes like a vanilla ice cream shake & is pretty cheap at:

                        http://www.affordablesupplements.com...ght_gainer.asp

                        especially if you order 8 or more for the discount & all orders on that site ship for free if over $75.

                        Another cool site that does immediate online pricematch (beats price by 5%) is:

                        http://www.easypricematch.com/store/default.asp

                        The only downfall is they charge shipping, but it can work out cheaper sometimes.

                        Below are some cheap links for the Pro Rated protein powders:

                        10 lbs of Pro Rated for $40.99, plus orders over $200 ship for free.

                        http://www.allsportsnutrition.com/pr...roductid=11392

                        -----------------------------------------

                        5 lbs of Pro Rated for $18.99, but they'll get you for shipping.

                        http://www.musclemagnepa.com/shop/product2532.html

                        -----------------------------------------

                        If you live near a Costco, they sell 5 lb tubs of the stuff for $19.99.
