Product Reviews of BSN Syntha-6 Protein Powder, Chocolate Milkshake, 2.91 Pound
Product Review: Great tasting whey!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tasted several brands of whey protein powders over the years and most have been unpleasant tasting at best, but the Syntha-6 is one of the best tasting proteins I have ever had. I actually look forward to drinking this protein.Product Review: Highest quality and best tasting
Summary: 5 Stars
Having used slow-digesting proteins in the past, this is the best I've ever used and I have stuck with it. It's clean, a high quality supplement, effective, great-tasting--so you can be reassured that you get your money's worth. Since it's a slow released protein, I mainly use it before bedtime as this is perfect for that type of scenario. This protein powder is comparable to muscle milk and the like but Syntha-6 just tastes better hands down. BSN products tends to be a little pricey, but it's worth paying a little bit more for this protein product.
Overall, I highly recommend it for its effectiveness, high-quality, great value and its taste. If you're serious about your protein intake, this is it.
Product Review: I Think it Works....
Summary: 4 Stars
My partner and I bought this, he drinks it every morning because he works out daily. That was my plan as well but it just didn't work out that way. Haha. I am a bit of a slacker in that department. Lol. It seems to work on him.Product Review: I rarely write reviews but this product's quality warrants one
Summary: 5 Stars
BSN's syntha 6 protein mix (chocolate flavor) is the best tasting protein shake I've had. I've tried muscle milk, EAS, Optimum Nutrition, Six Star Muscle etc. all pale in comparison to Syntha 6 in one important aspect: This tastes "good" with water. By good I mean better than a completely neutral taste. I do indeed look forward to them, but they don't elicit the same reaction as a fresh pizza say. In the world of protein however, this is a monumental leap forward. Everything else is fairly self-explanatory. This is a mix of proteins and contains casein. This means that it's good for controlling appetite and releasing protein slowly throughout the day. I'd recommend a whey protein bar to have after you workout at the gym, but you probably could do without. Just make sure you're getting at least .6x your weight in pounds in protein grams, preferably .8x.
While many people trying to build up don't care about having to add milk, those of us trying to cut weight will find this to be a godsend. 1.5 scoops is 300 calories and will fill you up in the morning. If you factor in the thermic effect of food this product really only contains 160 calories per scoop (10% less calories for most food, but calories due to protein require 30% of the energy they provide to be expended in breaking them down. Thus 22grams x 4 = 88 calories from protein. 88 x.7 = 61.6 + 112(.9x) = 61.6 + 100.8 = ~160. ) I find 6 small meals of protein rich food allows me to be just barely hungry and have around 1400 normal, 1100 absorbed calories. I'm losing fat like crazy and keeping(and gaining a bit) of lean muscle mass.
Product Review: Interesting protein
Summary: 4 Stars
So I normally take ON for b4 and after and mix ON with milk for mornings/nights but I got this to just try it out and see what the "rage" was all about.
Taste: Tastier than ON DBL rich for sure but not neccesarily better or easier going down. Because the taste is so heavy and rich it seems really artificial and strange. The taste with water is actually better than when mixed with milk. I still prefer double rich chocolate since thats not a strong flavor and not bad tasting light flavor. In the end the taste is above average for protein.
What I didn't like, I bought this mainly for use in mornings and before sleeping sometimes as a meal replacement. Without an extra snack you will get hungry! therefore using this at night would probably be a bad thing since it may not keep you through the night. Not to mention there is a unknown amount of caesin which some have mentioned might be around 15% which isn't much at all.
Lastly per serving it doesn't have as much protein as other brands.
In the end I would probably not buy this product again and just wait for a caesin deal. If you haven't tried it, it was nice for the experience and could be great if you are cutting and use this solely every 2-3 hours as meal replacements.
