Dymatize Whey Isolate contains Ion-Exchange Whey Protein isolates, cross flow ultra filtration whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides. It is one of the most legit protein supplements i have come across at such a low price. I, like many others, was tired of paying massive amounts of money monthly for quality protein. I have been taking GNC- AMP Wheybolic Extreme 60 since it came out, while throwing Optimum Nutrition- Pro Complex in the mix a couple times as well. I take fast digesting protein first thing in the morning, post workout, and sometimes in between meals at a smaller amount.

I really dig this protein. It has a great BCAA profile, very comparable to some of the top higher priced products. I'm on my summer cut and I took 1 scoop first thing in the morning and in between meals occasionally, and 1 and 3/4 scoop post workout.
In 1 scoop you get
117 calories
2g of fat
less than 1 gram of saturated fat
85mg of Sodium
2g of carbs
160mg of potassium
24g of protein

This product also has an enzyme blend containing Zytrix for better digestion and it is supposedly alot more easy going for those of you who are lactose intolerant.

I got 5lbs of the rich chocolate flavor for $34.50 + a 5 dollar shipping rate off ProSource.net.
The label says the flavor won awards. At first when i started taking it, i was like wow seriously? This is so horrible how could it win any awards? But after about a week, it really grew on me and i have come to love it. It reminds me a little bit of cocoa. It does mix very well, so you should have no problems there. I also had some minor digestion problems during the first few days and i was getting major gas and horrible smelling farts (a sign of protein not being digested and utilized efficiently), but i did alot of research and found that that can be caused by the bodies' tolerance and different experiences with different kinds of protein. I had been on AMP whey for so long, which contains hydrolyzed whey, i think my body was just not used to anything else. So when i started taking in Ion exchange whey isolates, it wasn't cool with it at first.
However, this completely subsided after a few days and from there on out, i experienced great digestion and muscle recovery post workout with this. I noticed hardly any difference from hydrolyzed whey and this whey isolate for recovery.

All in all, i think this is the best bang for your buck protein on the market. Alot of people compare it to ON Whey Gold Standard from what i have seen but that one is solid as well. I'm very glad i decided to give this product a try and it will be my go-to protein for some time to come. I'm already started on my second tub.

Great standard whey product at a good price point. Taste is not out of this world, but mix ability and profile stand out as better than most on the market. I also like that it is sweetened by stevia. Just very difficult to stay away from artificial sweeteners.

I want to start by saying that not all protein is created equal. That being said I have gone through at least 30 pounds of the elite whey series and am impressed by the overall quality.

Let's talk taste, it's good and it mixes well in comparison with other brands. Once in a while you will get clumps but an added vigerous shake will take care of it. The mint chocolate is a dream and my favorite flavor. It takes away my thin mint girl scout cookie cravings. ;)

As for the amino profile it is pretty good, and it has little carbs or fat considering. 24 grams of protein is around what you will find in most wheys so there is no lack there. Another thing that I would like to point out is that it has only 15 mg of cholesterol, which is a selling point for me where my protein intake is in excess of 300 grams a day. Have to watch that cholesterol and yes I am a big boy. Last thing I want to say in this regard that I liked is that the first ingrediant is whey protein isolate versus your brands that have it as a concentrate.

The monatary value of this protein speaks for itself as you can nab a 10 lb bag for around 70 dollars. All in all I like it and will continue to use it.

I have to say this is a good whey protein, the taste is good, it mixes well, it doesnt feel heavy in your stomach, it has the Bccaa aminos. The only bad thing i experience was that it make my teeth go yellow, but the yellow went away after i brushed my teeth

This is one of those products I think everyone should take. If I was only allowed to take one supplement this would be it. Now lets get to it.

Taste: 8/10- It was nothing special but with such low sugar and no fat what do you expect. It tastes good but not overpowering kind of clean/natural taste.

Mixability/texture: 7/10- I just mixed it with water in a blender bottle. it dissolved quickly and the texture was fine. Every Once in a while a would get clumps but a few shakes later and they would break up.

quality: 10/10- for a basic whey protein it doesn't get much better than this. the first ingredient is whey protein isolate the second is concentrate. So they use the higher end protein. while optimum uses more concentrate than isolate in the 100% whey.

Value: 10/10- I beleive this is the best value for basic protein out there. It is higher quality than optimum and generally costs a little less.I buy the 10lb bag for like $72.


P.S. I dont mean to bash optimum at all I love their stuff and they are probably my second favorite brand. I just think the ELITE is superior to 100% Whey.

I was taking creatine as my post-workout so I decided to change it up by taking this whey protein. It is really good, it builds muscle, and it’s a fast absorbing protein that has amino acids that you really need after a workout. I see bigger muscles since I’ve been taking this. My friends see a difference also because they say that I am getting bigger and that protein must really work. It also makes a good smoothie if you know how to make one

This is my first review on this site. I have been a long time reader but here it goes. First let me say that normally I use ON Gold Standard as my post workout protein but saw this product on wheycheap and couldn't pass it up for the price.

Taste: 9 I had the Rich Chocolate flavor and thought this tasted great. I mixed it with milk and thought the taste was very good. I added Dextrose with this for my postworkout shake and it made the shake taste even better.

Mixability: 9 I had no problems with getting this protein to mix in my shaker cup. Occasionally there would be some clumps but with a few more shakes they were gone.

Effectiveness: 7 I saw good lean Muscle Gains with this product but couldn't help to compare it with ON gold standard and thought that I saw more gains with ON but this was not a bad product at all for building lean muscle.

Value: 10 As I said I got a 10lb bag of this off wheycheap for a very good price. It is a great protein for the price and what you get from the product.

Overall I thought this was a great postworkout protein. I received good gains and it is a great value when you can find it on discounted sites especially when money is tight.

Dymatize Elite Whey Isolate has been my protein of choice for the past year. Some positives are that each serving only has 114 calories for 24g of protein (which equals 96calories from protein). Thus it is very lean and with the added enzymes, I found that it dissolved and digested easily.

Value = 10: For value I dont think you can really find a cheaper whey protein out there. I would definitely recommend going with a whey isolate to supplement both cutting and bulking cycles. Great source of lean protein for around $7 a lb.

Taste = 9: I get the gourmet vanilla which dissolved in 12oz of water has a very mild taste. If you add a splash of orange juice and maybe some vanilla yogurt, the taste is great.

Effectiveness = 9: Its a great source of protein which is essential to your diet. Each serving also contains 5g of BCAA's and 4g of Glutamine. Thus I think it serves well for a post workout supp and you can even sip on it during a workout IMO.

Definitely an excellent product, I have only tried Vanilla but have bought 6 tubs.

Protein Shakes aren't like say a PWO or fat burner where you get some effect like energy or strength. But you need protein to grow. I honestly tried this due to it being cheaper than Optimum whey. Taste is decent(not expecting it to taste like a cinnabon) , didn't magically shrink my muscles since it's cheaper, no clumps and didn't get bad gas or diarrhea. Plus it's usually 10 bucks cheaper.. so #winning.

i have tried basically every whey protein out there and in my opinion Dymatize is the only way to go. Elite Whey comes in priced in the same range as most generics and store brands. the difference you ask, the taste. Elite Whey is the most drinkable protien out there. i know everyone else says ON but Dymatize is my choice.
