Product Reviews of BSN Syntha-6 Protein Powder, Chocolate Milkshake, 2.91 Pound
Product Review: Great protein!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great protein. What I love the most is how easy is to mix it with water or milk. Highly recommended!Product Review: Great results, but it ain't cheap
Summary: 4 Stars
I've tried at least a dozen different protein powders over the 19 years I've been weight training, and now that I've hit my mid-30s, I find that it takes more than just weight lifting+calories to gain or even maintain muscle mass. Within the past couple years or so I've had a difficult time meeting my protein needs without packing on pounds arund the middle.
THIS protein has helped change that for me. With regular whey proteins (this is a blend protein product; not pure whey, but also contains egg and milk), I can almost feel the unabsorbed protein converting to fat. Not so with Syntha 6. Particularly if taken shortly before bed, I wake in the morning feeling as though my muscles are fuller and stronger than before I went to bed.
Great stuff. Only reason I've given it 4 stars instead of 5 is it's a little pricey compared to many of the whey protein powders.
Product Review: Great stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
Tastes great, ships fast( and free) and it's cheaper if you do subscription.
Great job, keep up the good work
Product Review: Great taste
Summary: 5 Stars
It really does taste like a milkshake! I love chocolate more than any flavor out there and this stuff is fantastic. It mixes really well which to me is the next most important charactersitic after taste.Product Review: Great taste, but go easy on other foods
Summary: 4 Stars
I went through one big bucket of this stuff (loved it) and half a year went by before I ordered more. I absolutely love the taste of this stuff; however, being overweight and having a body that is very sensitive to carbs and fats in that weight loss seems difficult for me, this stuff didn't seem to help much in the way of weight loss. In fact, my fitness trainer at the gym was suggesting to me that I take a protein shake, and I said I was taking Syntha-6, and he looked at me like a deer in headlights, "You're taking Syntha-6?!" I said "yeah, not consistently, but I'm trying to .." He interrupted, "No!! Don't take that. Get rid of it. I took some of that and it seemed strangely fattening."
I honestly didn't like the guy and thought he was a bit of a d-bag, but he was probably somewhat, if only a bit, correct about Syntha-6. I never lost weight with it, I only maintained it. You probably need to take it as a total meal replacement, not as a snack and certainly not as a wash-your-food-down beverage. You also need to have an active fitness pattern when taking this; this stuff is intended to be used for providing what the body needs when undergoing weight training and fitness, not a sedentary lifestyle. On the other hand, if you eat extremely light it would probably be a great meal in itself for someone sedentary.
