I'm interested in buying 50lbs of Whey Protein Concentrate for $300
http://www.totalbodyconsultants.com/node/752
Is there a coupon code I could use to get the price down a little?
Is this Whey flavorless?
Is it all in 1 tub, or will it come in X amount of tubs?
Let me know, thanks!

TBC whey is much better whey than TP ... read what type of whey your getting and do the research. And I would rather support the guys behind TBC to be honest.
You get what you pay for is really true.

Iron, check your PMs for coupon code.
Also, the difference between TBC protein and TP is hands down quality. TP advertises as purely the "cheapest" protein available. I would rather spend a bit more to get something effective and what I am actually paying for vs something that is MOSTLY whey concentrate and not a mixture of whey and soy.
We strive to have the Best product at the Best price hands down!

Soy Lecithin is used all the time in the processing of food to improve texture. This will NOT be listed as an ingredient as its only used in the manufacturing of the final product, and not with the active ingredients themselves. This is because its only used in minute amounts that have no impact on the body.
Take a look at TPs site and compare their Reg concentrate vs the Recession Concentrate. Only the "discounted" protein has only Soy Lecithin listed as a side ingredient along with Whey Concentrate. This means that a much higher amount of Soy Lecithin was used and was added to the whey protein during the entire process. Also, the % of whey protein to the final product is not listed as it is on the other protein (standard 77-80 just as which we strive for at TBC). This means that a lower concentration of whey protein is used to cut cost. This is the ONLY reason they are able to sell a lower priced product and still profit. Otherwise, they wouldnt have two of the same exact proteins for two different prices.
Now, if you want to compare their regular WC with Ours, you will see our processing far exeeds that of TPs. Take into account or coupon code, and low cost flat rate shipping and you can get 50lbs of our protein for $275 and some change while theirs cost $279 (with no scoop).
So, you can decide which one you want to go with ;)

PROTEIN FACTORY WHEY ISOLATE 5LBS FOR 28 BUCKS. At 300 bucks for 50 pounds, you are paying 30 bucks for 5 pounds. if you buy form protein factory, you are saving 2 bucks off each 5 pounds, plus you are getting whey ISOLATE which is ALOT better then whey concentrate. I just bought 20 pounds(10lbs of vanilla, 10lbs of chocolate). they taste good, they are easy to mix, fat free, less then 1 gram of carbs per serving, low sodium, and 27 grams of protein per scoop. Also, it doesn't have 30 different ingredients. it has whey protein isolates, natural and artificial flavoring and sucralose (splenda), THATS IT. here's the link to the product:

There are tons of protein companies out on the market. And a lot of them have good prices. That doesnt make them the best however. Even when comparing isolate to concentrate. The biggest difference comes from QUALITY. One, what is put into the protein (what materials as well as additives) as well as how its processed. Both parts of this equation can make a HUGE difference in in the overall quality and efficiency of how it works in your body. We list what type of raw materials and how its processed BECAUSE these are the things that give our protein the higher biological value and protein efficiency. It even makes a difference in digestibility. If you cant digest the majority of it, then it doesnt matter WHAT type of protein it is as it cant do anything passing through your intestine. None of these processes are listed on the majority of our competitors websites as they dont want to show this as this is the reason behind lower cost proteins (lower quality).
Now, this is not a direct attack on PF, but for them to say their proteins are fat free and almost carb free, then why does a 30gram scoop only have 27 grams of protein. Obviously there is more in there than what is stated and that is shady practices.
Now, im not saying that no one should use any other protein, but at the same time, when someone posts up about our competitors protein in OUR section and just claim that an inferior protein is better because its cheaper, I feel the need to inform the consumer of the facts to allow for a proper decision. Btw, after tax and shipping, PF total STILL comes out more than TBC protein, so again, why pay more for a worse product?
In closing, there is NOTHING wrong with posting links to other protein companies (in the supp section), but please dont do this in THIS section and promote them. If you have a question about other companies and would like to compare them, that is no problem. Please no "advertising like" posts of other companies here. Thank you

I see where it says PF is (30g) per servingand only has 27g of protein but TBC's Protein Isolate is 28.4g per serving and only has 25g of protein so they are bothe adding something else to it.
ANd the total price for PF's WHey isolate is $287 shipped, for 50 pounds of their whey isolate. 50 pounds of TBC's WHey Isolate powder is $429 without shipping. I dont see how TBC is cheaper.

TBC has NOTHING ADDED..we don't just say that we mean it. Others cannot state that with their products and we can because it is a fact.
You do get what you pay for. Simple facts with everything in life for the most part. We state the following on our site because we want all our customers to know EXACTLY what they are getting for their money: "Our unflavored WPI has absolutely no fillers, excipients or additives of any kind - zero. Our flavored WPI has a small amount of sweetener and the flavoring of your choice added and that's it." If you look at the scoop size of TBC compared to most other protein powders on the market you will also see a marked difference. Ours a smaller yet offer the same amount of protein per serve.
Look at all the information we provide on our protein. There is nothing missing. Your not left wondering or guessing what it is exactly your purchasing. This is true for all TBC supplements. Unlike most other supplement companies TBC is not here to defraud our customers and make as much money as possible from them. Our goals are simplistic, provide the absolute best product possible at a sensible price. BB and I are in this as a means to get to our community the ultimate in supplements and still remain competitive to inferior products that are out there being produced by corporations whose only goal is to improve their bottom line.
If you wish to continue dealing with a company whose objectives are that then that is your choice but please don't come here slandering our products on price because you can find a similar product elsewhere for less. As I stated you are going to be able to do that without question but I can guarantee you that it is an inferior product to TBC's. This is the point your missing. If you want the best then we have it. We will never be a company that skimps on quality to enable offering a product at a lower price while I am involved and I am sure I speak for BB also.
To TP directly and to their credit they do have a product which more closely resembles out WPI and they label it as Ultra Grade. The profiles and manufacturing process of this WPI is close to TBC's. For 5lbs of TP Ultra your paying over $102 where the TBC 5lbs of WPI is $49.99 less your TSC coupon. As you can see when comparing apples to apples the Price differential is substantial and goes to show just how little money BB and I are truly making from this.
The two of us have a passion for this sport and our lives revolve around it. We are not here for the short term and to be honest happy to sell vastly less products than our competitors if it ever meant we would have to supply a lower grade product to be price competitive. It ain't gonna' happen.

But the only thing extra that PF has in their isolte is the natural and artificial flavorings and sucralose. Its still only 28 bucks for 5 pounds where as 5 pounds of your whey isolate is still 50 bucks. only the unflavored one doesnt have those additives. alll the flavored one does. Obviously unflavored whey protein wont have the additives because the additives are for flavor. same as the ISOPURE NATURAL UNFLAVORED. it has no additives, just pure protein. But now and days, who the hell wants unflavored whey. unless youre throwing in fruits and yogurt and stuff like that, it doesnt taste tht great. you can still taste the protein in unflavored whey.

IM just throwing my opinion out there and wanting people to pay a good price for good hgih quality protein. im not saying TBC's protein isnt high quality but Protein FActory's WHey isolate is high quality microfiltration whey isolate which costs $9.99 per pound at trueprotein.com so ill let you guys decide whats the better buy.
Im not trying to talk down on your products at all. IM simply missing the point on what the difference is between TBC's vanilla or chocolate whey isolate and PF's vanilla or chocolate whey isolate, thats it. DOnt take it personal,bro, because that is not my intentions at all.

Your still missing the point....apples and oranges.
They (True Protein) have a comparable product to our WPI. They call it Ultra Grade. For 5lbs it is over $102. TBC is $49.99 and still superior and TSC members have a coupon code to reduce that price even more. Wouldn't you be better asking TP why the difference between the WPI your asking about and their Ultra Grade and why the huge price differential. That is a more sensible question. The answer is relatively simple though..quality.

I know you have no ill intentions on this thread and was just sharing info, we are just doing the same. I wasnt saying that our isolate was cheaper than theirs. I was saying that our Concentrate was. I know you are saying that isolate is better quality than concentrate, but that is only true for their OWN concentrate compared to isolate. What I was trying to state was that we list the full list of ingredients (before processed and after the process) as well as the actual process itself (one of the BIGGEST factors in determining total quality of your protein). This factor alone can make a soy or egg protein FAR more superior to a low quality whey isolate.
You have to look at overall quality of the company and product before even considering which protein is best. If a company does not divulge ALL the info about their protein, then its because they are not taking all steps possible to ensure the highest quality and potency. So again, just because something is CHEAPER, does NOT make it better

OK, so what you are trying to say is that TBC's WHey isolate is basically the Ultra grade protein from true protein, quality wise? I was thinking your TBC's whey isolate was the microfiltraion isolate. if thats the case, then i see where youre coming from.

I know you have no ill intentions on this thread and was just sharing info, we are just doing the same. I wasnt saying that our isolate was cheaper than theirs. I was saying that our Concentrate was. I know you are saying that isolate is better quality than concentrate, but that is only true for their OWN concentrate compared to isolate. What I was trying to state was that we list the full list of ingredients (before processed and after the process) as well as the actual process itself (one of the BIGGEST factors in determining total quality of your protein). This factor alone can make a soy or egg protein FAR more superior to a low quality whey isolate.
You have to look at overall quality of the company and product before even considering which protein is best. If a company does not divulge ALL the info about their protein, then its because they are not taking all steps possible to ensure the highest quality and potency. So again, just because something is CHEAPER, does NOT make it better
Yes, from my understanding, Isolate is far more superior then any concentrate. and i also do understand that cheaper doesnt mean its better. You usually get what you pay for, imo.

I'm new to the game but I use protein by Isagenix. It is grade 7 (medical grade) with a BV of 104. Comes in unflavored, vanilla, or chocolate. Let me know if you want to know where to get it.

That is a BV (biological value) closer to whey concentrate and not great at all. TBC WPI has a BV of 159!
TBC WPI Protein Values:
Biological Value (BV): 159
PDCAAS: 1.0
Protein Efficiency Ratio:3.6
Net Protein Utilization: 92
Protein Digestibility: 95

That sounds like pretty good stuff. Do you have a web link to get to it?

Though this thread have been here for quite a while, I still would like to insert my opinion.
Whey protein is quite helpful for those who are conscious with their body. However, it will be wise to observe proper intake of whey protein as well as stable body building programs for excellent result. Excessive intake of protein can lead to kidney malfunction. We don't want our effort to be useless, therefore consuming beyond prescription should be avoided.

Get a consumer reports book. Its true. Even some of the bigger names have it as well as dont meet label claims on what they have either

Wow! EAS has the highest amounts of crap! That MuscleMilk stuff is some of the priciest protein out there and it's full of it too.
