my favorite protein ist Gold 100% Standard.. I have been using it for some years and it works fine for me. There are lot of Protein Shake Test on the net, where this one won...
I disagree totally. Amino acid profile is what makes a protein good or bad. IMHO the brand with the most leucine is what I would go with. Swallowing a protein that is mostly glycine / proline and serine (Like Muscle Meds Carnivore since it's almost all Collagen) will do nothing towards building muscle
I voted for the Nitrotech because it has 11g of Leucine per service. Leucine was scientifically singled out as the only amino acid involved in muscle protein synthesis. However other amino acids such as glutamic acid and lysine play a role in nitrogen balance. I would also like to add methionine and threonine as lypolytic amino acids. Aspartic acid (which is non essential) can remove ammonia from the blood after workouts. Phenylalanine is used to create tyrosine which is used to create epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Basically the higher in essential amino acids and BCAA's (which are essential) is what I would look for.

GEAR has BCAA's with Leucine at the highest amount. But unless an abundant amount of extra leucine is added to a protein powder, it's not going to make a relevant difference -- in which case you might as well just supplement with leucine. It'll be cheaper than paying for the Gaspari brand. But GEAR is in a whole other category and that is a fact.
