ON vs Allthewhey vs ProteinFactory

I think whey protein concentrate does have lactose.... but ON is supposed to be lactose free and even has lactase enzyme. Maye it time for a lab report...

No, as long as the FDA, does no have a look on this industry manufacturers will keep on claiming absurd marketing hyped stuff about their products
That's why I don't understand how ON or any other brand can offer a good quality powder for the same price as ATW and PF since they have some marketing + packaging costs that the other 2 don't

hey Antharax , there was a thread a while ago about IDS and a whey protein concentrate that they had. IDS labeling it had 20 grams of protein, low sodium in it but when the guy had it tested at the lab it had 6 grams of protein and it was loaded with sodium.
I'm sure ATW and PF does deal in the quantity that ON does so I'm sure they can sell at cheaper prices.

Well I've already commented on ON's quality. Games can be played with labels and the bigger companies tend to play it well. How can Optimum (and many others) sell 5lbs for $21 of quality while others can't. Hmmmmmm.

Here's my thoughts:
Recently I read a thread claiming that ON's label claims would have to be decently accurate. The reasoning was that they are such a big company, other companies would be testing them often trying to catch them up (and therefore increasing the market share for themselves.)
I think that is pretty realistic. When your mass producing something such as ON is, you can afford to sell it for cheaper......that's just a part of business....mass production = cheaper costs for the company and the consumer.
Which also allows them a decent amount of money to spend on advertising....
ON is a much, much bigger operation than alltheywhey or proteinfactory. I have never used proteinfactory so I can give no opinion on them, however all I've heard is good things, besides the amount of time it takes for it to be shipped.
Alltheywhey I used for a year, and I loved it. I went through 5 or 6 5lb tubs of the flavorless isolate. Good stuff.
ON I just recently started using and it gives me gas. Which is a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.
I'll prolly be switching back to alltheywhey after this whey is gone. All the whey isolate is expensive as hell (something like $35 a 5lb tub) so that is the main reason why I tested out ON. I think the money may be worth it though.

I still curious why you get gas from taking it. I get gas from protein , but that's protein in general aside from brands or type of protein. The biproduct of protein breakdown is CO2, H2O and Ammonia NH3.

The ammonia generally comes into play when you intake too much protein. There was a female here that even posted that she smelled like ammonia :-(
So have you increased your does of protein since switch? Since ON is cheaper it logical to take more. I am still curious why the ON gives you gas. The ON is even hydrolyzed, meaning it is pre-digested. So your stomach doesn have to do as much work to use the ON.
If allthewhey doesn't do it and optimum does , this would suggest there's something else in the optimum that's making you pass gas other than protein. Sugar for instance?
Never heard of this , but it would be interesting to find out why
