If you go into detail with GNC products you will find that they are all syntheticly made....any claims of herbs or foods they put in their vitamins may be "natural" but are not "Organic". Meaning that some type of pestacide or synthetic chemical was most probably used in the making. GNC protein causes alot of people to bloat up, gives gas....my explanation to that would be that they are not digesting the protein, and the protein is not all absorbing peoperly meaning that the money paid for their protein is being wasted and not being used by the body....The body is rejecting it. But it is 1. Made in china in mass quantitys, so that makes it cheaper, and 2 it seems people these days like to give their money to china......In short, IF IT HAS A GNC LABEL YOU ARE BUYING SHIT FROM CHINA TO KEEP A COMPANY THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT PROFIT IN BUSINESS.Thats no good for you, no good for me and no good for you and no good for america.
