The Whey that I got started with 20g per 30g scoop

Back from office. About to join a call. Some upgrade is not happening. But ya, it will work out. 

 So anyway. Wanted to start writing about some of the supplements that I used or still do use. It may help you. BTW, as I said in my first blog post, I don't get paid by these brands or anything. :)

  When I thought of using supplements, like whey etc., of course I consulted bodybuilding.com and other sites. And I came to this conclusion, that International brands are costly and Indian brands are not that trustworthy

  But had to make a choice. So, I went ahead and bought this Whey protein from an Indian company, Nutrimed. I bought it from Healthkart.com . 

  It's of course not among the ones that come with 80-90% protein composition. But you gotta think of budget, right?
  
   


  So this one had about 20 gram of protein out of a 30 gram scoop. It's kind of a whey blend, meaning isolate, concentrate mixup.

  I honestly don't know how great ON or UN brand Whey are, because so far I haven't tried those. But this one is good.

  Yes, I mean I liked it. I heard people have stomach ache etc. from Whey sometime, I didn't. Ya a bit of gas but I think that's the whey property in general.

  65% Protein might sound less, but I think it's not. Just to compare, check out this link, most of our childhood drinks have on an average 15% protein content. http://www.medimanage.com/my-kids-health/more-articles/complan-or-horlicks-which-is-the-best-health-drink.aspx?page_no=2 

  So 65% is actually HUGE. Ya it's HUGE.

  And mostly when I'm starting out. I'm talking about 8 months back. When you start out with supplements, even 50 gram EXTRA protein per day is good to start with; yes it is, because you're body isn't used to it. And whey is sucked up by the body pretty quick. So I don't think there's any need to go crazy about protein percentage like 80%, 90% and 95%... Well, you can if you don't have budget constraint.

  I used to take it once after I woke up in the morning. And then about 45 minutes after gym. Well, I didn't become superman overnight. But I did develop strength. My reps and sets went up. And I was feeling more energetic. 

  Here's a snapshot of the breakdown:



  So overall good experience. And if you're on budget, this is a good product. You can go for it. 

  But yes, if you are expecting this thing, and for that matter any supplement, to do wonders for you just like that, please stop dreaming. You gotta work your a** off. And then the results show. 

  Remember, pain is only temporary. What comes next, is generally referred to as Success.
