Pure Protein Cups..not the right kind of protein? read
I would like to get the opinions of my OH peeps here. Especially the guys, who know who you are!!! I always thought that they were all the wrong type of protein for us until I read all the ingredients for them. I decided to buy a pack, from GNC, just to make sure I listed them right. Here goes:
Purified water, proprietary protein blend (hydrolized COLLAGENIC PROTEIN ISOLATE, whey protein ISOLATE, casein protein ISOLATE), gelatin etc
First off, WTF is collagenic protein isolate? Sound like an oxymorom to me! Sounds like collagen isolate...WTF? And then it lists the whey isolate and casein isolate. So is isolate a word they use to define collagen protein too? I'm a bit confused here. They have 0g sugar and 23g protein per cup. How much protein, of the 23g, do you think we actually get from these?

They're saying that there is MORe of the JUNK protein than there is of the GOOD stuff, so if it's a 51/49 split, you're at MOST getting 11.5 g of the good stuff, and 11.5 g of the junk stuff.... but likely you're getting MOSTLY junk, with just enough of the whey isolate for them to put it on the label and trick people.
My guess is you get 2 or 3 g useful protein.

I tried one of these (curiosity... and because the labeling LEADS you to believe that it DOES have all the necessary amino acids... but the company's lack of information leads me to beleiev that ti does NOT)) and thought it was a hell of a lot better than the Isopure protein waters. I couldn't gag more than one of those things down if my life depended on it!
