This product is more for mass gaining, while whey protein is more for building leaner muscle

If you compare the ingredients you can see why it's cheaper. This is made from soy and whey and all the other ingredients I read weren't real food ingredients like Shakeology. You could use it instead, but it will not give you the same nutritional benefits.

Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed. The hydrolyzation process breaks protein down further, which makes it easier and faster to absorb, hence making it more efficient. That being said, I can't tell the difference in results... Probably because I'm not actually an intense athlete, I just work out and I don't like feeling sore so I drink a shake. I think the general consensus, is that Hydro Whey is only really worth the extra money if you're doing some really intense working out. In terms of taste, I detect a little bit of an after taste. I prefer Gold Standard, but Hydro Whey does seem to be creamier/richer. Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed.

I am using it for the last 6 months. I am allergic to soy. I can't find a whey protein without soy. I tried this one and loved it. In wholefoods it cost around 24.99$. So Amazon is the best deal . Based on the label it says it is organic and free range cows.

The original extreme 60 is what I have used for years and it works great. More protein with less additives than the competing brands. As far as I can tell the ripped has a thermogenic in it and other traces of fat burners. As for taste it is pretty much the same, maybe very subtle differences.

Hi...I understand your indecision. It's difficult to make a decision on this type of product.I normally go by the claims, how it is processed, and have a good look at the nutritionallabel information. I've used #1 nutrition krill but not the Now brand. Hope this is helpful!

I have never used the wild whey protein but I am very happy with the regular Source Organic Whey Protein. I will definitely buy it again. Hopes this helps. Barb

There is no difference. It's the same product, just marketed under a different name. So you can use it to supplement or you can use it for full formula feeding.

Hi Sharon! Actually there are no whey proteins on the market that are actually "raw." When dairy products are sold across state lines, they must be pasteurized under FDA regulations. So if you see any whey protein marketing itself as "raw" it actually isn't. Source is proud to be transparent about our methods, our cows, and our farms. Thanks for the question.

As far as whey protein goes this is one of the best on the market. Meaning it is organic and still retains much bio availability after processing. Will it help you gain muscle? That depends on what kind of work you're putting in.

Honestly... cant address full ingredient differences, but Ive used Many kinds including Gatorade... they all do a good job. I use Emergen-C as my primary electrolyte supplement now for one reason... no Sugar. That is a huge issue for maintaining body weight !

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

i'd use raw organic whey if you can find it. Raw has all the nutrients in it. I use warrior whey organic. I think it's low heat processed.

I like the Vanilla-Praline. It does not have any sweeteners. Natural sweetness from whey is 2g per scoop.

It seems good to me.....I need extra protein in my diet and thought this was a good way to supplement it. I like that it is very easy to mix when I don't use my blender. I just add it to water in my glass and mix with a spoon. I tend to drink it after working out. I've had other protein shakes over the years and this one is low in sugar, easy to mix & has a good creamy taste. (before drinking after mixing, I let it sit for about a minute and it seems to get more creamy) I really like it.

It not the same but its close. You can definitely tell its a protein shake. I throw a scoop in with my green shakes. That includes kale, spinach, 1/2 banana and Almond milk. I only have it with water if I'm rushing and can't make a smoothie.
