After exhaustive research, I decided to try BiPro Elite. I wanted a whey protein that was:<br />-NSF certified (lots of protein powders have been found to contain toxic contaminates. Certified for Sport is a high standard, and NSF is a very trustworthy lab)<br />-Sourced from a dedicated supply chain (this is made from Agropur and sourced from cows in the USA)<br />-Didn't contain artificial sweeteners or stevia (This has protein and sunflower lecithin. That's it.)<br />-Had a neutral taste<br /><br />This checked all of the boxes. I mix it in a blender with ice and a little chocolate milk post workout. It leaves me feeling full. I have a sensitive stomach, and this hasn't given me any issues whatsoever. I don't know if the manufacturer reads Amazon reviews, but if so- This protein powder is perfect, please don't change it!

First, I may be the only reviewer who didn't receive this product for free.<br />Pros: Very mild taste, the powder dissolves easily with very little clumping. I measured about an 8% increase in lifting ability over a 30 day period versus no supplement lifting.<br /><br />Cons: Even though it is labeled NSF certified, this particular model isn't. Only the flavored models of this brand were tested.

Look for CFM (Cross-flow Microfiltration) for your protein isolate. It costs more but is worth every penny.<br /> Why?<br /><br />Because:<br /><br />"The problem with Ion-exchange processing is that they are made by running concentrates through what is called an ion exchange column, which separates proteins based on their electrical charge, which then alters the pH of the whey. Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are the chemical reagents normally used to achieve this. The electrical charge on the proteins attaches them to resins in the reaction vessel. Obviously, these reagents damage pH-sensitive fractions and denature some amino acids. It becomes clear that we can say goodbye to glycomacropeptides, the immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, the growth factors, and a big percentage of the alpha-lactalbumin content. Cysteine and methionine will also be denatured (lost)" -- KAHA

This stuff tastes AMAZING. I was super on the fence about buying it, but I'm so glad I did! I mixed it with 1% milk to try it and it tastes like chocolate milk. When you open it, it smells like a package of hot chocolate. I actually find it hard to believe that it's healthy. It was a little difficult to mix in my blender bottle and I had to leave it sit for a while in the fridge to let the foam settle, but that's minor to me. Seriously, buy it. You won't regret it.

I buy this because of the certifications that i'm not ingesting illegal or bad substances.

I've used many different types of protein powders and have never had any side effects like this. horrible belly pain and bloating
