Loving the way Myprotein are trying to BIG themselves here in this post LOL. I notice that all-in1 have not posted the fact that their whey protein is made by Reflex and is cheaper than Myprotein.
Difference in business ethics maybe IMO  
Reflex or MP - Reflex everytime for myself

Not a comparable product, as the link suggests it a bulk product. I am sure if we want to we could just link to unflavoured wheys and so on.
How is it not comparable? I agree "unflavoured wheys" is not comparable, but this is a very high specification flavoured whey protein blend that has near equal protein content and tastes as good if not better?

As per my question, i reffered to a brand not a bulk supplier which operates in a similar fashion!
We are a "brand". We are a "online brand".
Maybe you should state "comparable to a high street product", because both products are very comparable on nutritional data, taste, ISO standards and mixability. The only exceptions is price (our blend is much cheaper) and the fact we sell direct rather than via retail which doesn't make any difference to a product comparison.
MP
Very different business models make it difficult to compare, all-in1 would be more direct comparison of products.
Not going to get into debating into business models on the forum, i am sure people can make up there own minds on the information provided.

Hi "Steve",
The only reason we posted was because the following question was asked.
quote:
"Which brand has higher protein, more in and tastes nicer, and isnt a straight isolate and cost the same?"
No we are not going to discuss "business models" on MT either, however we will answer questions that are asked.
Thanks, MP.

MP, seeing you are comparing your bulk whey blend to reflex instant whey it´s obvious you feel they are comparable...then why would you sell MP Max?
As a neutral visitor I think that comparison would make some sense...never bulk blend.

You didn't read the question properly Oliver.
It asked which protein blend is HIGHER in protein? MP Whey is NOT higher in protein is it?
It's largely irrelevant now because all of the samples we've just made and future batches of Instant Whey now contain whey protein isolate as the main ingredient to ensure Instant Whey exceeds 80% on a continual basis.

Look at the deals when you buy 4 or more tubs: http://www.sports-nutrition.net/store.php?sub=3&id=18
You get it delivered on time too from all-in1/Reflex.
They are not trying to big themselves up, they are merely responding to issues raised from other posts. This is within the rules. Likewise, often issues arise concerning other companies, including Reflex/Alin1, in topics targeted initially at other companies, and their representatives respond, as per their details.
You say you are not a representative of Reflex and Reflex say you are not. This leaves me having to take your word for it. However, other members and at least two other companies are noticing your continued plugs for them, and I'm going to have to take some action on this. If you do represent Reflex then identify yourself, post a link to their homepage in your sig and abide by our rules. I do feel your actions are not doing your favourite brand any favours though

Also a couple of posts within this topic have been edited due to false information.
Please debate nicely now - this topic is supposed to be about Reflex, so if others will not bring myprotein in, then Oliver will not feel the need to respond. Both are very reputable, leading brands, and both have a valid place in the market.

Thanks James,
As I'm sure you can imagine we're more than busy enough without the need of STEVE65's help (thankyou anyway Steve).
Our biggest issue is quite simply manufacturing enough Instant Whey and other Reflex products to keep up with the demand for our products. We've just implemented a complete new line to ensure we meet demand and give capacity a serious boost.
I don't get the chance to post here that much and when I do its usually because Karl (The Graduate) has pointed out a post that needs my attention.
Got to get back to work now.
Kind Regards,
James Phillips
