Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
IMO, it's all about whether or not you're willing to pay for it. i've heard nothing but good things about it for the most part-it's just the price that drives me away-for me, spending $23.99 for 6lbs of whey is a better deal than spending the same amount of $ for 2lbs of grow. but, i've heard great things about it-if ur willing to pay for it-go ahead!

I'm a regular reader of T-Nation, so I figured for all the bandwidth I consume, and all the reading i've done over there, the least I can do is order some protein or something from their store.

NewMike- Im taking it now..taste pretty good..the best thing I like about it, is that it leaves me feeling full. I take it before bed because of the casein, (cant stand cottage cheese) and it makes me feel more full than whey.
I agree. It is good stuff and damn tasty. Compare the price to other micellar casein proteins and not whey protein. You'll see it is actually reasonably priced.
Mix the chocolate flavor with some cottage cheese and peanut butter for a before bed snack. Yum!

So Grow is a casien-whey mix?
Also, has anyone tried the banana cream or orange cream flavors? They sound pretty tasty.
No I believe its not whey...but casein, which is a different type of protein...the same thing found in cottage cheese, etc. Hey Ripstone, I cant see you avatar from work, but I think you had or have Ben Wallace...Im going for Detriot, hope they beat that a**
"Low Carb Grow is a milk protein blend (a combination of whey protein, casein protein, and isolated, unseparated milk protein)"

Raymond- yea my avitar is Ben Wallace. But I am confussed what you said..."Im going for Detriot, hope they beat that a**" So you are rooting for the Pistons or you don't like Ben Wallace?
Yeah Im rooting for the Pistons (I hate SA)...plus Orlando Magic arent doing anything..Oh and Ben Wallace is the man, dude hustles and is a monster..only Shaq gave him some comp in my opinion.
Dude, Low Carb Grow! is freaking awesome. by far the best protein supplement I've tasted. I do wish they sold it in larger quantities but I just don't think you can beat the taste. Lately when I run out of it, I have a hard time sucking down anything else in my back up stash.

Just got my new tub of chocolate Grow!...I went two nights on some whey I borrowed from my brother..and my stomach was growling..cant wait to have the usual tonight. They sent me a Grow! protein bar in the box..came in pretty handy as I was on the run today...I like t-nation, alot of peeps talk ish about them..but I think their products are pretty good (quality and price) and the one thing I had to return (Spike) they took it back and refunded my money with no problem..Im taking Carbolin 19 now, to see how that works.
Yo Rip, what happened to Detroit...man they had that game...billups was supposed to get the play, then they couldnt inbound it, and hamilton got it and choked..hopefully they win tonight
Yeah they whooped them...I got Detroit for Game 7...I hope they blow them out...tired of people saying SA is going to win, they are (were) ahead 3-2 going into SA blah blah blah...Go Detroit

I can't afford Grow! and don't want to know how bad the other stuff tastes, by comparison.
Funny Stuff Lost Dog. Based on what I've heard people say about the particular type of protein you're getting in the Grow! it's supposedly reasonably priced. I'll pay a little extra for the good taste. To me it's worth it. I'm doing the Velocity Diet (outlined on T-nation) so it pays for me to get the best tasting protein available cause that's all I'm consuming. Plus I break even or maybe make out a little better by not eating out during the day or evenings.

The only thing that sucks is the shipping...the cost for a 2lb container is only $23...I pay $16 for ON, so thats only another $7, but then with shipping, you are looking at $29-30, but I think its worth it...I will probably buy this kind of protein anyways, from here on out.
Got you...so MPI is basically the same thing as Grow!..in that it has micellar casein?
Is MPI available in stores, or do you need to order it? Like I said, I dont drink it for the taste, I know others say the test is real good, I think its okay.
