Honestly guys… get over it. It’s obvious that we cannot convince you to buy more expensive protein since our views are not as economically superior as yours.
However, in the event that you do consider our thoughts, instead of just spouting off…
Oh and btw… your arguement that we are looking for reasons to justify paying a higher price works the same as you searching for every possible way to support your shit protein.
Let’s simplify it here…
When you have a leak in your house… do you call a general tradesman or do you call a plumber?
Who would you expect to do a better job?
When you need a knee replacement do you go to an Orthopaedic or do you go to a General Surgeon?
Do you go to a family practice physician for cancer or an onconologist.
The catch here, fellas, is specialty. I trust a brand whos entire business is around supplying a reputable protein product. Sam’s club could give a rats ass whether your protein is legitimate or not, the same reason they sell potato chips, lard, etc in the same store.
Also, superior ingredients, Metabolic Drive has no HFCS, they use Micellar Casein (a generous amount too), their carbohydrates are limited and thought out.
Look at Metabolic Drive Complete… how many companies care about the amount of healthy and useful fiber they put into their supplements?
A company like Sam’s club that outsources their protein is simply asking peopel for protein ingredients, putting it in a jar, and slapping a label on it.
A company like Biotest, or other reputable companies, get their supplies from many different resources to ensure they are getting the best ingredients.
I’ve never seen a group of men bastardize a concept as much as you have. You’ve completely spun the taste concept into your favor as if we are idiots. Taste IS a factor, if you are legitimately looking at taste.
I can make anything taste good and you are right in that regard that taste should not be an indicator. But given the ingredients AND the ability to make it taste good indicates a well thoughtout HIGH Quality product.
Take for example Vodka. It tastes like royal ass to most people. Now given that we have the same freaking ingredients, take potato vodka, there is a significance between Grey Goose and Smirnoff.
NOW… There is one fault in my logic and I will point this out before you guys use that as the escape route from my other points, as you seem to find the one fault and harp on it instead of recognizing the other points.
Both vodkas will do the job of getting you drunk. Correct. But, a higher quality vodka will have less hang over effect which can be the equivalent of the other SHIT you get with a bad protein powder.
If you have gas and bowel problems from a bad protein powder, some of which can go unnoticed, you will not be able to consume or digest the protein as well as without that problem.
There is a significance to the bioavailability of what goes down your tube, not just how much money you have spent at the end of the day.
Two apples may look the same but one comes with pesticides, you’ll still get all the other nutrients, it tastes good, one may cost less (organic vs. non-organic) but there are other, issues.
I’m tired of ranting now, I don’t expect even the most well sought out arguement to convince you guys to change your mind. I was just getting tired of your self-righteousness.

Look, doctors have certifications (proof) that they are specialists. They can show you SPECIFICALLY how they are more qualified than other medical practitioners. I’m sure even plumbers have to go to school and be certified. The supplement industry has no such regulation. You have to trust the company and their claims.
Who’s being self-righteous? Give me proof the a $50 jug of protein is better than a $20 jug. The “it’s more expensive so it MUST be better” argument is simple minded.
BTW, that is a great Rush tune dude.
