Dymatize Elite XT Nutrateric Protein Powder Review

I bought a 1.81 Kilogram tub of this particular Dymatize protein powder,a little over a week ago at my favorite supplement store here in London,Ontario:Spartan Nutrition.

I wasn't sure how I was going to talk about this protein.The flavor is Rich Vanilla. First of all it was very bland taste wise. Not totally offensive,but definitely not a rich vanilla taste. I have good taste buds,and this was not great tasting protein.

By the way,this is the Extended Release Protein Maxtrix version of Dymatize Elite Nutrateric
Protein. That's a mouthful.

Okay,here are the ingredients:The main ingredient is Whey Protein Concentrate,and stupid me because I didn't look at the ingredient list first---the second ingredient is Soy protein isolate.
I could literally taste the pasty like bean texture of that soy protein isolate.

The next ingredient is milk protein isolate then egg albumin and whey protein isolate and
micellar--or what's know as casein protein.There is also L-Leucine in it,which helps in the  prevention of muscle breakdown and helps in the uptake of insulin to push protein and                carbs into muscle cells.

 I'm not sure why Soy was the second ingredient other than to save money in the making of this Dymatize protein powder.

Other than what I didn't like about it,it has good mixability. I basically bought it for 2 reasons.
Dumb reasons. The name Dymatize,and the price.

Even when I just dumped it on my oatmeal as is,without mixing it in a blender---it mixed in well.

I do have other issues with this product because of the ingredients in it,and the nutritional value.

Okay here it is.

Fat--1.5 G
Saturated Fat--0 G
Transfat--0 G

Cholesterol--20 G

Sodium--220 MG---This seems rather high

Potassium--290 MG

Carbohydrates---8 G

Sugar--4 G--this seems high as well

Protein--21 G---a little low

As far as the amino acid---or what's know as the building blocks of protein profile it's quite comprehensive and actually quite good. I'm not going to go into it.

I'll give you a link here to this product if you so choose to buy it. it's not totally bad.

If you don't like soy protein,you won't like the taste of this particular Dymatize product.

I won't recommend this product for any bodybuilder who really cares about getting
a top notch protein powder.

I would recommend a protein who's first and second ingredient's are whey protein
and whey isolate or egg protein, if you're a bodybuilder who cares about protein
powder quality.

Tim Muriello Fitness And Supplement Expert Gives Out The Real Dope On Protein Needs---What Kinds Especially

Protein,how much do you really need,what kinds and how much per meal?

For a lot of you out there it's a pain in the ass;but if you really hone down and

work at consuming the amount of protein you require at each meal,and daily,

along with training you'll see results very few get.

Florida based training and supplement expert Tim Muriello was kind enough

to answer a few questions on this important subject,and give me the skinny

on what kind of protein you require specifically,not just how much.

Tim has been in the fitness and nutrition industry for lets just say,a lot of years.

He's a well known trainer,supplement expert extraordinaire for the well known

online store:www.illpumpyouup.com and a Youtube sensation.

Mr. Muriello is also a trainer—certified one at that---and if you just follow

him on Youtube,what you'll learn runs the gamut from,what to eat,what not

to eat,and even how to eat when you're dead ass broke as a bodybuilder and

have no money for even protein powder.

As well, I'm going to leave you Tim's Youtube channel and his personal site

which he offers his personal training services both in person and by phone

as well.

For a lot of us it's tough to consume a lot of protein daily,but if you study what

Tim says, and actually take action on what he says,you'll do good!

So many of you want to know how much protein,what kinds,how often—and

how much is too much. Well, if you're having kidney issues,that's one sign.

Do bodybuilders and athletes really need to consume 1 gram of protein
for every pound of body weight---if you workout daily?

Yes it is a really good rule of thumb. You can fat from too much. You need 1 gram per pound and should only count complete proteins that build and maintain muscle. You have the option to lower protein on days carbs are very high.

As I said to you I don't--but my protein at each meal averages out at between 30 and 35 per meal. What I mean is,I don't have a gram of protein for every pound of bodyweight.

Last question--which proteins are best not just for growth,but recovery purposes Tim?

 Whey or fish are mandatory for growth after workouts. Micellar and egg albumen are optional for other times. Pure beef, not powder, is great for recovery. It is slow and more anabolic than chicken I feel.
