A good man once said, Protein is only as good as it's profile or something like that. I've tried different isolates over the years including isopure, nectar, isoflex. This is my favorite behind isoflex. I found this protein from professional supps, the same company that makes my beloved karbolyn. Here we go.
Diamond whey is 100% pure, ultra-filtered, cold temperature processed whey protein isolate. With the cold filtered you will not lose the "extras" like with isolates that are filtered with heat.
Taste/Mixability: 9
Taste is great. I tried the strawberry and it was awesome and I mixed primarily with strawberry popsicle karbolyn which was perfect. The mixability is great with a shaker and usually didn't have any floatees.
Amino Profile:9
The amino profile is great and includes EAAs as well as BCAAs. Here's the list for 60g of protein (2 scoops)
Leucine: 7.142 g
Isoleucine: 3.241 g
Valine: 3.296 g
Lysine: 6.598 g
Threonine: 2.633 g
Methionine: 1.377 g
Phenylalanine: 2.1 g
Tryptophan: 1.613 g
Arginine: 1.377 g
Histidine: 1.32 g
Alanine: 2.825 g
Aspartic Acid: 6,647 g
Glutamine & Precursors: 9.894 g
Cysteine: 1.798 g
Glycine: .96 g
Proline: 2.640 g
Serine: 1.622
Tyrosine: 2.094 g
I took the time to show the amino profile because that is my favorite part of the protein.
Value: 7
a two pound tub was $32 at lockout. This shows that per scoop it was $1.14. A little on the high side, but it was definitely a quality protein.
Effectiveness: 9
I usually took one scoop which is 30g of protein and it worked great. Rating effectiveness is very subjective, but I feel like It gave my my needed protein without the unneeded fat. This with Karbolyn was very effective on a lean bulk. I gained a descent amount without upping my BF.
Overall: 9
Overall, I really enjoyed this protein. The amino acid profile was what drew me to this protein. The ultra filtered by cold temperature was also a plus. I would recommend to anyone that has the money and would like a good, quality protein. Thanks for letting me share.
