Any of you guys get protein from ProteinFactory.com?

I'm paranoid that it's fake. I mean who the hell knows what's in any of these protein powders on the market right? I mean the FDA doesn't regulate it or anything. Just wondering if there was any info out there on it (or any other protein powder supplement company).

They Suck Bad.

Why do they suck? Is there stuff "bunk" (meaning they claim that it has a certain amount of protein and it's all BS)?

They Suck Bad.

Reasons?

Well here are MY reasons for not liking them.

1) Cost - After doing some figuring, I realized I was not getting as good a deal as I could of elsewhere for a protein powder I would like.

2) Taste - The stuff tasted like gritty death warmed over. While I do realize that it is not a dessert or something, I could barely choke it down. I tried to like it considering it was a board sponser and all, but I was just kidding myself.

3) My first order was placed, and I had to call them 2 weeks later to see where my powder was. They had charged me right away of course, but it was 2.5 weeks before I got it via UPS.

4) I called to ask about said powder and was not at all pleased with the customer service (or lack there of) that I received. The lady I spoke with almost acted like I was out of line asking where my purchase was and why I had not gotten it yet. I was quite nice at first but when I got her snotty attitude I didn't care anymore as it was obvious to me they didn't care either.

5) I learned about 1 month after this fiasco that I had made a purchase during their transition time and they were growing and all, and I apparently got lost in the pile.

There are some guys on here that like them and care for theri products, but I have had better luck with what I feel are better products from GNC if that tells you anything. I will never buy from them again after all; it's just powder, it should not be that difficult. I can get gear easier. LOL

I have always used there stuff and have never had a problem. It seems some of the mods around here are mad the arent a sponsor here anymore. I know Carth says he uses there stuff so the shit cant be bunk.

There are a lot of items I like that the mods don't endorse, and just because Carth likes it doesn't mean it is the end all be all. He is a good bro but not king protein or anything, at least not that I'm aware.

As far as it being bunk, I don't have any idea but I would doubt it is fake or underdosed. My issues with them were not relted to a fake product, just everything else. I would bet it has the amount of protein it says it does.

A mod from my board swore by the fact that they gave him shit. They also stopped sponsoring EF, well any place that stops supporting elitefitness is not ok in my book.

also, their protein tastes horrible! and the wait is weeks +!
