I was privaleged enough to get this new protein made by MHP, as soon as it came out from a good buddy of mine that is a supplement distributor(thanx Orlando). I am a HUGE fan of Dymatize proteins, and have been using them religiously for years. However, I got a tub of this for free so I figured what the hell, might as well give it a shot. To be completely honest, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by IsoFast50...


:Overview of Product/Product Claims:

-50 grams of 'Highly Anabolic Whey Protein Isolate*Micronized Whey Protein Isolate
-Biohydrolized for ultra fast absorbtion(similar to Hydrowhey, but supposedly absorbs even quicker)
-Loaded with micronized BCAAs, essential amino acids and glutamine
-Helps prevent catabolic muscle wasting

Isofast50 is a microparticulated whey protein isolate, which essentially means, the protein particle size is smaller than typical isolates, which allows for faster absorption and greater release of free amino acids.
It also includes a nice digestive enzyme matrix which also allows for better/quicker absorption.

I could not find an actual Amino profile for this protein, which was slightly disappointing.

:Taste/Texture/Mixability:

I got the vanilla flavor, and there is nothing really bad I can say about it. It tasted like a quality vanilla protein. It was not too overpowering and definitely was not bland. When mixed with water it is pretty good, but nothing to write home about. When mixed with milk it was extremely tasty. Overall, it was very easy to mix and was smooth and enjoyable.

:Effectiveness:

As most of you know, it can be a bit tough to gauge the 'realistic' effectiveness of protein supplements, but I actually felt noticeable differences between IsoFast50 and the other proteins I have tried in the recent past. Recovery was up slightly while using IsoFast50, but the most noticeable difference was the absorption/digestibilty. In terms of absorption/digestibility, compared to my beloved Dymatize Whey Isolate, IsoFast50 is superior in my honest opinion. Dymatize gives me slight utilization problems(ie. gas/gurgly stomach), nothing serious, but nonetheless noticeable. IsoFast50 on the other hand, seemed to be utilized much better and sat in my stomach very nicely, without any adverse feelings whatsoever. As I said before, a slight increase in recovery was noted, but nothing out of this world.

:Value:

22servings at 50grams per serving(44servings at 25grams) for around $40. Comes out around $1 per serving, not great, but not bad either.
To me this is pretty reasonable, especially considering the quality of this protein. When compared to its closest competitor, Hydrowhey, it is sooo much cheaper per serving.
Hydrowhey- 40servings at 30grams per for about $55
Overall, I would say IsoFast is a pretty decent value.

Initially I was skeptical about this protein, but it was a nice surprise and was very effective. It has a great profile, with micronized BCAAs and glutamine, and a highly absorbable, quality protein source. Its definitely worth giving a try if you are looking for something new.

I purchased this protein because it was on sale at the VitaminShoppe and I had my points reward certificate, so I got a really good deal on it. It looked to a decent WPI and I was happy to see MHP make a protein powder without soy protein.

Taste (10):

I got the chocolate, which when trying a new protein is usually the safest bet for me. It tasted pretty much like chocolate milk in about 8 oz of water (1 scoop). It was not chalky or gritty at all nor was it overly sweet.

Mixability (10 & 5):

I used IsoFast with Vitargo in my pre/post workout shakes and it mixed very well with water, with and without the vitargo. Its Biohydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, which is pretty much a fancy way of saying Micronized. This allows it to mix very well in water. I will say with a spoon it tended to clump more. With milk...horrible. Clumped on everything when I tried to mix it with milk. Needless to say that was the last time i tried doing that.

Effectiveness:

I feel as though this protein was very effective. It did not make me feel bloated, no gas, no bad aftertaste and I felt very satisfied with it when I would take it after a hard work out. I also think the BCAA's helped in recovery as well, although I was taking more BCAA's along with that.

Value:

At 41.99 from Bodybuilding.com that is pretty steep, especially if you use two scoops. I personally only use one, I think 50 grams of protein is stupid and a waste of money. Again, I got an awesome deal on it.

Overall:

The product is very high quality, has a good protein/carb/fat for a WPI. At 25 grams of protein 1 gram of fat and 6 grams of carbs, its really fairly decent, although you could pay a premium for something like ON Hydrowhey and get even less carbs. All in all, its a decent WPI, but not the best, and unfortunately I will not be buying again as I feel there are higher quality proteins to be had from better protein manufacturers.

I hope I included good points as this was my first review on here, anything that anyone would like to see in addition to what I have posted let me know, so I can know to give the information on future posts.

Thanks.

AS of recently I been trying alot of MHP products. I wanted a fast acting protein and the for Iso Fast 50 looked pretty darn good to me so I said what the heck lets try this one out.
Im not a big vanilla fan so I tried out the chocolate. The taste with water isn't bad at all, but nothing to praise. It mixed really good in water no clumps at all, so that was a plus. The taste in milk was a different story, It tasted bad ai not gonna lie it tasted just like a milk shake. However the mix ability wasn't too good. There were some clumps but not alot. Also I did not get the bloated feeling after taking a protein shake, so that was another plus.
I was alot less sore after workouts, Iso Fast did help me recover pretty good. Only bad things about Iso Fast is that it has alot of Sodium, and its pricey when not on sale at "GNC" that is Also I wish it would have the Amino's profile on the tub. Overall its a pretty good fast acting protein powder. Give it a shot when its on "sale"

hey everyone yet another MHP review. as some of you know i have been a big MHP fan (i think ive done about 8 reviews for them). I was very happy to try their first Protein Isolate. but i was a little disappointed.

price=6 its about 40 bucks for the online price and around 50 in most retailers. its almost 3 pounds but you only get 22 servings. thats like 1.50-2.00 a serving. not good.

taste=9 i had the vanilla and it was very good. not to sweet either.

mixability=7 no real paticals of anything but it does foam up. i could spoon out the foam at the end.

profile=8 i have mixed feelings here. its 50g of protein of one 2scoop serving. which is great but the sodium is over half a gram per serving. that is way to much. here is the rest of the profile

Biohydrolized Whey Protein Isolte (Micronized Protein Isolate, Micronized BCAA's (L-IsoLeucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine), Biohydrolase (Peptidase Aspergillus Oryzae, Protease Aspergillus Oryzea, Peptidase Aspergillus Melleus, Peptidase Aspergillus Niger), Maltodextrin, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Gum Blend (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum and Carrageenan, Silica, Salt, Soy Leicithin, Acesulfame, Potassium and Sucralose.

as you can see it is micronized for fastest absorbtion possible. even the added BCAA's are also micronized. its a plus, what i dont like is the Soy Leicithin thats in here. even though its listed almost last i still dont like it.

I would only recommend this if you can get it for less that 40 bucks. its a very solid protein with very fast absobtion. i didnt get any "bathroom" runs but i just dont like the price and the amount of salt thats in here.

Another great product made be MHP. I drink this every morning to start my day off and continue the recovery of my muscles. I've seen great gains in muscle size and strength. I would reccomend this product to anybody. To Maximize the full effects, take MHP Dark Rage as a pre workout, Dark Matter as a post workout And Probolic 12 before bed. When these four products being used and a solid and consistant workout routine you will see noticable gains in no time!
