Protein Supplement Guide

Optimum Nutrition recently expanded it’s natural protein supplement range to include Natural Oats and Whey. This new supplement is basically oats ground up real fine mixed with Optimum’s natural whey protein formula. This is pretty sweet if you ask me, this is what I call a “real” meal replacement shake. I mean, it’s literally the same as having some instant oatmeal and a whey shake. This could easily make a good breakfast replacement or between meal shake. Unlike a lot of other weight gainers, it’s very low in sugar and has a good amount of complex carbs that come from “real” food. And if they doesn’t get you thinking, it’s part of Optimum’s natural range meaning it has no artificial flavors, colors, additives etc etc. Not bad.

This is just another step forward for Optimum Nutrition who still seem to be leading the way in the protein supplement industry. Their natural range includes Natural 100% Whey Gold Standard,  Natural 100% Whey Gold Standard and Natural Pro Complex.

Note to readers, next week I’ll be doing a taste test of Dymatize’s new economy protein powder, Elite Gourmet Whey. This could be another top protein powder in the works, nutrition wise it stacks up pretty good and with the economy the way it is, we could all do with some cheaper supplements!

This week’s protein supplement of the week is Pro Complex by Optimum Nutrition. Pro Complex is a blend of 8 different sources of protein which forms a pretty potent mix for people looking to gain lean muscle mass. Here’s a quote from Optimum Nutrition:

“Uniting Whey Protein Isolates, Egg Albumen, and Hydrolyzed Proteins, and key Free Form Amino Acids, Optimum Nutrition has created a protein with varied digestion rates and an amino acid profile that’s off the charts. Each serving of Pro Complex APS is packed with 60 grams of the highest quality proteins commercially available. Simply put, it’s formulated to take you to the next level!”
