This is a quality product for people serious about their nutrition!
First of all, if you're a person that know how to distinguish BS from products you're supposed to be deciding between buying the following 3 products here on Amazon:
1) Raw Organic Whey - 100% Grass-fed USDA Organic Whey Protein Concentrate
2) Opportuniteas Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder Isolate (The one I'm reviewing
3) Antler Farms - 100% Grass Fed New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate
All other "whey proteins" are junk!!! Why I need to have in the ingredients things like: added sugars (including stevia, erithritol, all alcohol sugars, etc. ), xanthan gum, artificial flavors, sodium chloride (YES!!! a few brands...LOL), tapioca starch, etc.
I personally use the first 2 brands [Raw Organic Whey Protein Concentrate and Opportuniteas Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate]. For my pre-workout I drink a smoothie with real organic strawberries, organic skim milk, organic non-fat greek yogurt, 1 banana and 1 serving size of Raw Organic Whey. Then for my post-workout I drink 1 serving size of Opportuniteas Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate with water and a serving size of organic oven roast turkey. With that combination and of course with my overall whole foods nutrition I'm doing extremely well during my job hours and during training at the gym!!!
I use both, concentrate and isolate, just to go down to some details of the digestion process but if you need only one protein, just go with isolate. With that said the only minor inconvenience I found with this product is that it is not organic like the whey concentrate from Raw Organic Whey. But the problem is that I cannot find 100% grass-fed USDA Organic Whey Protein Isolate (just whey protein concentrate from RAW Organic Whey). For now this is the best whey isolate out there.
Antler Farms Whey Protein isolate is extremely similar to this product, except that it has too much sodium per serving size. For example, Opportuniteas have 40 mg of sodium per serving (30 grams of serving and 27 grams of protein -90% protein) and Antler Farms have 157 mg of sodium (Really!!!!???) per serving (30 grams of serving and 27 grams of protein -90% protein). That is 117 mg of sodium more per serving!!! Ther is no way I'll buy that. Also, I don't really understand why in this world it has so much sodium compared to the 2 I use if they only have Whey Protein Isolate and <1% of sunflower lecithin?
In overall, stay away of all other brands of "Whey Protein Powders" including Jym Stoppani, Athlean-X, Legion, Gold Standard, Junk for Life, blahblahblah, etc... LOL They have junk inside!!!
Just buy this product (Opportuniteas Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder Isolate) or Raw Organic Whey (100% Grass-fed USDA Organic Whey Protein Concentrate). Those 2 products are the only ones I use! Good luck!!! :-)
