I have used many different protein powders over the last few years and the biggest complaint I have with most powders is the way they taste. Out of the many I had tried for years, I finally had settled on ON Whey Gold and it was OK, but I didn't love it and so I didn't drink it as much as I should have when working out. Also, it did cause gas issues, a common side affect of many protein shakes, and also the aftertaste wasn't bad, but nothing to be happy about either. The price was great on it as well, and so I just settled on it.Finally, after reading reviews about Syntha-6 online and having friends tell me about it, I gave it a shot and it is AMAZING!!!!!I only drink chocolate flavored protein shakes and this one is creamy and rich and so delicious that it doesn't even seem like you are drinking a protein shake. Also, it has 6 different kinds of protein sources, hence the name, and I like that so I get fast and slow digesting proteins at once, which is much better for overall muscle growth. In addition to that, and most important I think, is that it has digestive enzymes and also 5 grams of fiber per scoop. That helps so much in preventing bloating, gas, and even constipation. I know that may gross some people out, but for anyone drinking a few shakes a day, it is very important.The shake is a touch sweeter and I like that as well, and it is a good dessert as well. It has 22 grams of protein per scoop and mixed with 8 oz of milk, a perfect 30 gram shake that can be taken anytime during the day, or multiple times throughout the day.The cons: I wish it had more BCAA's, but from the powder form I buy of that, I know why they don't add extra in and that is because it would make it really chalky. Also, for the protein percent per scoop, it isn't as high as ON Whey or some others, but the mix of proteins compared to just straight whey is a better trade off I think.Pro and Con: The cost is a bit more to a lot more depending on sales and per scoop right now without any sales or coupons or other promos, it about a $1 per scoop where I could get ON Whey at about $0.50 per scoop. So yes, double the price, but when you realize that this is something much more enjoyable and that taste is just as important, than it justifies the cost. At best I could do 2-3 scoops of ON Whey Gold per day for a few weeks, but with this, I easily do double scoops after workouts and before bed, and another scoop upon waking and another as a snack, so about 6 scoops a day without ever getting tired of it. That is 180 grams of protein, plus 30 grams of fiber. I usually don't get that much fiber from my mostly meat diet otherwise, and as someone trying to get 250-300 grams of protein a day, this has helped out so much.Even if your just looking for a shake in the morning for breakfast, this is great as it has about 200 calories and when mixed with milk and then a piece of fruit or a small granola bar or other breakfast item, it is a great 400-500 calorie meal that is better than any fast food pickup you can make.I already recommend this to so many of my friends, and I will do the same for you as well***** Bonus Points **********I wanted to try different flavors of Syntha-6 and wanted to order trial kits of different flavors to try before buying a whole jug, and the flavors I wanted were out of stock at the time and so I emailed BSN. Within an hour, they responded, asked for my address and sent me a Cookie Dough and Chocolate Cake batter trial packet for free. They were apologetic for not having what I wanted in stock and thanked me for my business still and the two trial packets they sent were not asked for by me, yet delivered for free and I can say it is a joy to deal with great customer service.GO BSN!!!!!!!

Please feel free to read the hundreds of other reviews on this product, as they will provide you with invaluable information. However, it good to note that this product comes with Branched-chain amino acids, Glutamine peptides, is Aspartame free and stacks with a bunch of supplements. For the record however, I am going to voice my opinion solely on flavor in contrast to MYOFUSION Vanilla flavor. To be fair, I got MYOFUSION's vanilla flavor because I read the rather decrepit reviews of the other flavors. Being a college student and investing in 5 lb tubs every month means you better LOVE the flavor that you end up picking (however to GNC's credit, they do offer a 30 day trial and return period).

My go-to source for whey protein for the last 12+ months, the chocolate powder is truly a delicious treat after an intense weight training session or if I'm short on time and need a quick meal for breakfast.TASTE: 8/10My goals are primary strength and power oriented, and this supplement is deceptively "boring" to most trainees; the whey sold by Syntha-6 is the exception to that general attitude. The taste is better than any other brand I've sampled, with the exception of maybe Muscle MIlk - but this product is whey, and it's more useful for post-workout nutrition than the casein in Muscle Milk. I digress; the taste is awesome, the consistency is not very thick when mixed with water or even milk (so while it's not like a milkshake,

I don't need to tell you that Syntha-6 products are good products. They really know how to market their products, and the product reviews reflect excellent results. Here are my impressions on having used Syntha-6 over the past 2 years.I moved to Brazil 3 1/2 years ago, and there, popular name brand supplement prices are insane. The price for this product there is more than double on some occasions, so it wasn't really feasible for me to keep buying it. At this price, it was a no brainer. Seeing as how i came home every year, I decided to stock up and take some with me and here are my results.I tried to intake just two shakes a day. The carb count is pretty high on these, but as I go hard in the gym,

This is a decent protein powder - but with so many other options, I wouldn't purchase it again.First of all, I think taste should be discussed. Everyone that uses Syntha-6 raves about the flavor, and it's good (in fact, with milk, it's fantastic). However, every protein tastes better with milk; with water, Syntha-6 is slightly above average. Mixing with water, the protein has a distinctly artificial flavor, with a noticeable aftertaste. Although it really tastes like a milkshake when mixed with milk, the protein shake is just a protein shake when mixed with water. This is kind of disappointing, as I was expecting the flavor to outweigh the powder's comparative nutritional shortcomings.Syntha-6 has more fat,

I believe the Macro nutrient profile qualifies this more as a light meal replacement than a pure and simple protein powder.People compare this to a Mcdonalds milkshake or a shake from a restaurant. I wouldnt go that far.Does it taste like a Milkshake? well, the taste is pretty good. Keep in mind that my favorite protien powder is Muscle milk orange cream which taste like those old ice cream "Push ups". I purchased the Chocolate and strawberry shake and I will say that compared to other PURE (thats the key word) protien powders this is tasty, Mixes easy, and most of all is very easy to drink.Ive been in the bodybuilding world for 20 years and have tasted and used the most horrid tasting products

I think this is my first time leaving a review in Amazon despite I am buying products from Amazon at least 3~4 products per week. For a quick note regarding my physical appearance, back in 7 years ago I was extremely overweight, started about 30% body fat, 38inch+ pants size, and even had a gout... I have been working out for almost more than 7 years and currently maintaining 10%~15% body fat. I am NOT a body builder nor heavy lifter at gym. I am just an electrical engineer going to gym/outdoor activities 5 times a week. My main workout routine is basically to maintain my body weight, muslce, and body fat as consistent as possible.So far I have tried Myotein, GNC AMP,

I am using it as a meal replacement once per day, and am losing weight. It is delicious, and I just mix it with ice water. I drink it everyday through the work week and off on my days off. I work nights, so when I come home in the morning, I simply mix this in a blender ball cup, drink and wash, then ready for bed. I chose this as the time for using, because this is when I am most hungry, thus most out of control. This kills my hunger, and I want nothing else after. This is a big statement from me, because I can cause some damage when I'm hungry.I know there are a lot of meal replacements on the market loaded with all kind of extra vitamins. This is another reason why I like BSN Syntha 6,

So I'm 24, and have been lifting weights seriously for about 6 years. I'm 5'10, 190 ~9 to 10% bodyfat, and try to get about 200g of protein per day, more when I'm on a bulk. I'm not a BIG eater or anything, so I utilize whey protein to hit my daily protein macro everyday. I've tried a number of brands: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, Dyamatize Elite Gourmet Protein, Muscle Milk, and even GNC brand protein (tasted SO bad I threw out 1 lb worth, seriously). I can honestly say that all the brands above, with the exception of GNC, taste pretty good. Syntha-6 is no different. Mixed with either water, milk or made as a shake with fruit it tastes great. I've tried Vanilla Ice Cream,

I used to get ON protein powder for years, and to be honest, I really like it. Still do. But the price kept going up, it's 16 bucks more now than Syntha-6, and then ON stopped being sold on Amazon's subscribe and save programme, so I ventured out to find another. I thought I would give this brand a try, and now use it all the time, especially since I am saving around $160 plus a year. It has a slightly different taste than ON's chocolate flavor, not a bad thing, just a little different. But they also have more ingredients, some I don't really need, or think I need, but what the heck, it's a good protein, tastes great, and does the job. It mixes easily too. Just a shake in a blender bottle,

I've bought this several times and it is usually good but I've noticed inconsistent flavor, color, and mixability between batches..Usually it's just a slight difference.. but this new batch I just got is particularly bad tasting and it doesn't "mix" like the last few I've bought.. It's almost like I got the wrong flavor but I doubt they'd make a flavor like this intentionally hah.I have another tub of this that is about to run out and it's a darker color and tastes better and it mixes differently.. If I didn't have the other one to compare to, I'd think I was imagining it.If this was the first time I tasted this, I'd never buy it again.. Not sure if I'll take a chance on buying another.Anyone else ever had this happen?

I take this protein blend before bed with milk. Taste was not amazing like most reviews on here say it is. It was a 7.5 out of 10 for me. But still good. I had zero digestion issues after consuming. Protein blended easily with milk and left no residue in the bottom of my shaker cup. BSN protein tub has an outer seal and a scoop inside. Just lift heavy weights, try to eatas much whole foods as possible(minimize processed food), sleep at least 7-9hrs a night, take your protein(1g-1.5g per pound of bodyweight), and you will see results in the gym. You will not get any muscles from consuming this product alone without resistance training. This is just a supplement to help you reach your recommended protein intake for the day.

So I've been trying to find a protein shake to use as a meal replacement for weight loss. After a lot of research I narrowed out down to several that had consistently good reviews for health and taste. While they all vary some, when it comes to meal replacement the most vital thing too me is taste. If it tastes nasty, I'm not going to use it to replace a meal. And most will provide something similar as far as the basic health benefits go.I ended up ordering the Syntha 6 Chocolate Shake and the chocolate Ideal Shake. TheSyntha does have more calories per serving: 200 vs. The 120 for Ideal. Still that leaves either as a low cal, healthy replacement for a meal.The difference for me was the taste.

While this product does taste great, it only contains 46.61% of pure protein (it is a very impure protein...) as it is a protein blend. Here is my source:LIST OF PROTEINS/PURITY CONTENT[...]- for affordability, I go with Optimum Nutrition's products, as their purity level is 78.95% and it's about the same price as this stuff. That is why it's cheaper. I know it isn't cool to read this, because of how good it tastes, but facts are facts.Moving on, it's the best tasting protein powder on the market, mix it with milk and it tastes exactly like a chocolate milkshake. However, mix it with water, it still tastes very, very much like a chocolate milkshake. It's a delicious flavor. I drink it in a pinch,

I've actually used this protein powder while deployed in 2009 and not only loved the taste of it but the results as well. It has been a few years since I used it but realized, since working out again, I'm not taking in enough food each day to build up as I'm working out. My mid section is down a lot but another inch or two and I'll be the happiest I have ever been but then again, I need to build up in my chest, arms and shoulders and remembered the last time I used Syntha 6, it really helped me out. So now I'm back to using it. I notice that I'm maintaining my weight while my mid-section continues to decrease, the areas I wanted to build up on are starting to grow and last but not least,
