"Dymatize is the best...I use muscletech nitrotech tho which is also pretty good"
"A great option to check out is Dymatize ISO100 Whey Protein — it’s a whey isolate, meaning it’s ultra-filtered to remove excess fats, carbs, and lactose."
"Iso100 is great quality and low carb (2) per serving. It’s a little more expensive but worth it."
"I would like to recommend Dymatize ISO100. It mixes easily with water or other liquids."
