I look for the facts; peanut_head go back:

May
Proof that Instant Whey is No.1
26 May 2005
In light of recent advertisements from competitors claiming to have the highest protein percentage Reflex Nutrition enlisted the services of an independent laboratory, Wessex Labs, to test the protein content of some of the best selling 5lb whey products. The results speak for themselves and clearly show Reflex Nutrition to have the highest protein content of all the products tested.

All products tested were in chocolate flavour.

In order of protein content per 100 grams:

Reflex Instant Whey 77.6 grams/100g – Label claim 78.0 grams/100g
Optimum Nutrition 72.1 grams/100g
USN Whey Protein 71.2 grams/100g
EAS MyoPro Whey 70.7 grams/100g
MRM Metabolic Whey 68.5 grams/100g
Met-rx Supreme Whey 65.8 grams/100g
Dymatize Elite Whey 63.0 grams/100g

*See foot note.

A copy of the original certificate is on file at Reflex Nutrition. All products tested were bought from suppliers throughout the U.K, all seals were unbroken until testing at the lab, and each product was tested 4 times to exclude any error.

*Figures correct at time of press 25/05/2005

I have a quick flick through the facts, but really, they're mostly the same...

thats good to hear, because ive just ordered reflex instant whe, cheers m8, i hop ethe choc mint flav tastes good

But really...their not. Did your quick flick through involve you not reading thee 15g difference between Reflex and Dymatize? You're being butt raiped by Dymatize and not only are you not complaining, you actually seem to be enjoying it!

Not tried choc mint tbh mate. I have liked all other reflex flavours, well raspberry was a bit sweet but others are great.

NO those are the actual facts as oppose to the lies on label claims, read the whole post properly. I have a copy of the lab report results.

that's interesting!

might look elsehwere - I switched from reflex to dymatize, might switch back again now lol

can't believe how far some are out though, lying farts!

Manufacturers always b*tch like this! Does it really matter THAT much, if you like a product stick with it! Especially with protein, I agree with Peanut_Heads first comments, buy a fairly good quality at a good price....I mean if you go by Reflex's research just scoop a little more Dymatize in if that's what you like!!! Or buy from somewhere like myprotein for custom, good choice and good price!

optimum is top stuff, it came 2nd with 72g per 100, dymatize got 63g per 100, almoast 10g less of protein per serving than ON, so i wouldn't put them in the same boat!

thing you have to remember is reflex did the test, so you need to think whether all there batches would be that high? maybe... maybe not.. but i certainly feel reflex and ON are the top 2 out there for whey, personally i'd happily use either although i for me on has the slight edge on taste and quality (they use aminogen and hydrolyzed whey peptides), so i go with that

The results are per 100g, not per serving!

Don't be obseesed with serving sizes for one. They mean nowt. It's more to do with your needs not a serving size.

used reflex choc mint and raspberry and both tasted ok
could be a little waterery so add nesquick or marvel milk powder
neither caused any bloating or stomach upset which is good

also used reflex glutamine
