NOT a sponsored review!! I took it on my own initiative to write this with ZERO compensation. Great companies deserve to be reviewed.

I decided to go with these guys for my protein this past month, and I have to say, I'm blown away by both taste and quality of their protein powder. Here are two reviews.

Prescription Nutrition PeptoPro:

Taste: 7/10 - For a peptopro product, this actually tastes decent. Of course, it's still a protein powder (and peptopro, no less) so it's not all that great tasting. BUT, compare to other peptopro mixes, this stuff tastes like liquid gold. 7 overall because their casein blew me away in taste.

Mixability: 10/10 - I can put this in a water battle, shake it up with 50grams of rilose and it mixes perfectly.

Results: 8/10 - I haven't felt nearly as sore the day following my workout. I can't say I've noticed tons of changes (I don't think I will from a simple protein powder) but using peptopro after a workout really helps recovery.

Overall: Great product. I would recommend it to anyone.

Prescription Nutrition Micellar Casein:

Taste: 10/10 - I had no idea protein could taste this good. I've never had casein protein before, but their blueberry casein is seriously amazing with the taste.

Mixability: 7/10 - Not too bad. Much easier to mix than I thought it would be, as I've heard casein is tough to mix.

Overall: I wakeup less hungry, that's all I can really tell. But I know I'm getting an extra 25-50 grams of protein at night so it feels good!

Highly recommended.

I am fixing to order soon. Thanks for the reviews Big, I will have to order some miceller blue berry now. The peptopro is a keeper for me. Probably my favorite supplement now.

I am close to running out of leucine ( from true nut.), but I will simplify things and order from perscription nut. One thing I would like to see perscription nut. do is, to give discounts on buying powders in bulk. Compared to true nut., once you order so many units of a certain powder, they discount the price further. Otherwise I will keep ordering from both companies, as they each satisfy something I am looking for, but niether one can do it exclusively.

nice review. I am going to be trying out the peptopro soon and probably replacing the amino infusion with it for preworkout and possibly intraworkout.

Thanks for this. I've been using peptopro for a couple of years now; great stuff. I noticed, though, that while it pops up in reponse to a search request, it no longer appears on PN's casein page. Just a glitch?

I noticed it as well. I have no idea why it doesn't appear on the casein page. If you simply click "Proteins" it shows up there.

Chocolate mint casein is awful. The blueberry is still amazing.

didn't wanna start a new thread for this, so lemme know if i should remove it:

got my order in yesterday. Whey (best Quality/Price relation), HCL (best mofuggin price on the whole interwebs), Joint Rebuild (wife swears by it) and....
the shaker... OH the shaker lol

Now, I'll take responsibility. PN is not a shaker company and i decided to buy a shaker there. Needed an extra shaker, was placing an order, thought "Hey, this is a good price, maybe i can get this product from the always good folks at PN!"

That shaker is the worst shaker I have ever had the chance to put my hands on. I have had free shakers that were better. I've used little supplement bottles to mix my stuff with better results. It was horrible LOL I am traumatized. I cry when I see shakers now.

So, before my workout, got my carbs in there, put some water, got excited to show my new PN shaker to everyone at the gym. Then it started. I shook it. it is safe to say that about 1/3 of the water got ejected from the shaker right away. It didn't leak out. it got ejected out. like, porn ejaculated out. I thought to myself "im stupid and it's my own fault that my car will be sticky for days" and reviewed the lid. As tight as it could get.tried again with a gentle shake. there goes another splash and im down to half my carbs now. I wrapped the thing in paper towels and tried to mix it. thought about sucking the soaked paper towels to get my carbs in and decided against it for my dignity's sake. so with about 1/3 of my carbs somehow still contained inside the bottle, i thought "better than nothing" and went for it. Little did i know what I was about to experience another act that could be described in ejaculatory ways. After "drinking" from the shaker, i looked like silvya saint after a scene, only that instead of man juice, i had pink carbs running down my chin and neck. erotic as the whole thing may have been, it was traumatizing.
I tested the shaker with water. just filled it with water and turned it upside down and i swear it was leaking from about 4 different spots between the lid and the drinking spout.

In closing, Mike, either get another supplier for them bottles or just discard the thing from the website altogether. I will be hiding that shaker cuz im afraid if i throw it in the trash, someone might be inclined to use it and you do not want PN's logo on that thing, it's a disservice to you guys!

LOL all in good humor, I hope it didn't come across as bashing :)

PN is still one of my favorite sources for supplements. Shakers though....
