BSN SYNTHA-6 Whey Protein Powder with Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 48 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

I have tried many a protein powders in my many many years working out, but this one is by far the best. I recently got the chocolate mint flavor for myself and the vanilla ice cream flavor for my husband (since he doesnt like chocolate mint or mint anything), and have used it for about a week now. Until a week ago, I was using the Elite XT powder from Vitamin Shoppe, but I will never go back to it- Syntha-6 is really that awesome! Its got a great taste- even the vanilla flavor, and I usually dont like ANY vanilla protein powders because they give me heartburn for some reason. Not this one! The quality of this stuff is amazing, and its really filling. I havent tried it with water yet (Im traumatized my using Muscle Milk with water... aka dissolved chalk in a cup, eew), so I use the unsweetened plain 40 calorie almond milk with it (Almond Breeze, I think). The flavor is really smooth, and has that ever-so-slight dairy, milkshake kind of aftertaste without actually having to use ANY milk products (except the protein, of course). I dont like milk at all, and was allergic when I was younger but Im not anymore. Ive always drank Soy and used tofu, and then in recent years since its become more widely produced, almond and coconut milks; I cant stand the taste of cow milk- yogurt, some ice cream, and cheese is as far as my dairy consumption goes. Even still, if I have too much lactose my nose gets stuffy and all that fun stuff. My husband has become more sensitive to lactose in the last 2 or so years, too, so this protein powder is really nice for that, even though it is whey; theres no bloating, no upset stomach, and is really tolerable if youre sensitive to lactose (I actually didnt even know it was until I read the whole label yesterday, its that good). That being said, after using it for about a week, I love it! It really does keep you absolutely stuffed until your next meal 3 hrs later. My husband agrees; with the Elite XT he would have to add extra fruit or almond/peanut butter to his protein shakes to stay fuller longer, but hasnt added anything to any of his shakes made with the Syntha-6 powder, which is amazing. It has an awesome flavor with no nasty chalk or salty aftertaste, and is really nice after a hard workout- it really does reduce your soreness and decreases recovery time. I cant say too much about fat loss benefits yet, but I imagine with how filling it is, and how well the body responds to it after a workout it would be pretty effective in helping. Only time will tell, but so far, so good! I dont think Ill ever buy another brand of protein powder, Im an addict already. (The only reason I give it 4 stars is just because I havent had it long enough to evaluate its benefit toward fat loss, but Im sure it will be changing to 5 stars...)

This product is great. Tastes good.

My husband love this for his workouts. So we keep it in stock

Tried a lot of protein powders and this one works well and tastes good. Use it in shakes, smoothies and over yogurt. We also have used it in protein balls and it is good for that too! We will continue to purchase it although the price has gone up almost 50%.

I believe the Macro nutrient profile qualifies this more as a light meal replacement than a pure and simple protein powder. People compare this to a Mcdonalds milkshake or a shake from a restaurant. I wouldnt go that far. Does it taste like a Milkshake? well, the taste is pretty good. Keep in mind that my favorite protien powder is Muscle milk orange cream which taste like those old ice cream Push ups. I purchased the Chocolate and strawberry shake and I will say that compared to other PURE (thats the key word) protien powders this is tasty, Mixes easy, and most of all is very easy to drink. Ive been in the bodybuilding world for 20 years and have tasted and used the most horrid tasting products for the sake of results. If taste is whats keeping you from having your protien I think youll be happy with this. I am using it with skim milk as a meal replacement because I dont really think this product qualifies and a pure protien product in that they have added fiber and good fats to enhance the flavor. Yes, the carbs mainly come from Fiber and the fats are MCTs and EFAs which make them just fine. Do you get results? Well Im using this protien 2-3 times daily to controll caloric intake and in the last couple of weeks with minimal cardio I have lost 7lbs and its been very easy because this powder keeps my blood sugar stable. So, in my opinion this is good stuff and I will be using it as a staple in my diet because I no longer tolerate nasty tasting powders. I would recommend this powder and despite many of the reviews making it sound like this tastes like a milkshake from your favorite shop...it doesnt...But it does taste like a milkshake compared to other protien powders and Meal replacements. Toss in a multivitamin, some milk, and you have a nice meal replacement with blood sugar stabilizing protien and good fats along with some much needed Fiber.

I dont need to tell you that Syntha-6 products are good products. They really know how to market their products, and the product reviews reflect excellent results. Here are my impressions on having used Syntha-6 over the past 2 years. I moved to Brazil 3 1/2 years ago, and there, popular name brand supplement prices are insane. The price for this product there is more than double on some occasions, so it wasnt really feasible for me to keep buying it. At this price, it was a no brainer. Seeing as how i came home every year, I decided to stock up and take some with me and here are my results. I tried to intake just two shakes a day. The carb count is pretty high on these, but as I go hard in the gym, I really need that extra boost. If you take this protein, and dont work out - you will gain weight. Thats not rocket science. However, like I said, burn those carbs up in the gym! Thats what theyre for! Compared to other proteins, I always have a big boost in the gym with this one. It is probably because this isnt just strictly protein. There are lots of good things in this for you, so dont be surprised if you notice a great improvement in energy and overall ability. The taste is awesome too! I always get any variety of chocolate, and its a great treat throughout the day. Unlike some proteins, this protein mixes exceptionally well. No issues whatsoever. One negative I found with this is the digestibility. Im sure this is different for different people, but I maintain a little stomach trouble with this product. Not enough to stop me from using it, but enough to be annoying. I do have a sensitive stomach though, so Im sure it wont have the same effect on everybody as it does me. Overall I really enjoy this product. I want to try the isolate out, but its a little pricey for me right now. Amazon has a great price on this, and after seeing how much it is in Brazil, Im glad to know I can find it here at this great price. Go and try it for yourself! After you get the boost, youll be glad!

Ive purchased probably over 200lbs of this stuff over the years and it never fails to impress me. It mixes perfectly every time, is creamy and tastes amazing. With six different forms of complete animal protein, it also gives a unique blend of complete fast and slow proteins.

Get rid of the yellow 5 and I will purchase this.

Always loved this product. Hands down the best tasting. Used to buy 5lbs for around 35 dollars a few years ago. It slowly increased to a whopping 65 dollars depending where you look. So for that reason, I am no longer a customer.

Since Ive joined a gym and begun to focus on what goes in my body, Im working towards a moderate-protein, 1200ish calorie-a-day diet. I used to be an athlete in college, and I know how gross some protein shakes can be; many are just downright unpalatable. I did some research about protein powders with a decent amount of protein that both mix well and taste great, and I ordered Syntha-6 Chocolate Milkshake. For nearly a month, I consumed this flavor 1-3 days depending on my nutritional needs, workouts, etc. In order to attain some variety, I also ordered Orange Smoothie, Mochaccino, and Chocolate Mint. I also have subscribed to the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, but it has yet to come. I mix all flavors with water and ice. Chocolate Milkshake: Taste - 8/10. Very creamy, tastes a lot like a variation of chocolate milk just with water. This flavor is also excellent blended with a teaspoon of peanut butter or 2/3 cup of frozen strawberries. Orange Smoothie : Taste - 5/10. Its ok. Its going to be my bottom-of-the-barrell, use-it-only-when-its-my-only-option flavor. It tastes too off, almost like orange fluoride from the dentist. Still very creamy. I blended it with ice and blue berries and it was WAY better-tasting than just with the powder alone. Mochaccino: Taste- 7/10. Its good and gets me through coffee cravings. Sometimes Ill just say screw it and make a blended drink much like large coffee chains do, but Ill use the power, ice, and and a to-go packet of instant coffee in the blender. It does kind of have a funky aftertaste. Chocolate Mint: Taste - 10/10. My favorite flavor so far by a long shot. Since I dont eat sweets, the Chocolate Mint flavor satisfies my cravings for Girl Scout Thin Mints, Andes Mints, and mint chocolate chip ice cream all in one. I cannot emphasize how great it tastes. The minty flavor stays with me like mint normally does, like fresh feeling in the mouth and back of throat.
