Great eplacement for cold cereal (and a cool container.) May 06, 2009 By Doug Dornbos
I started trying to reel in my hypoglycemia and was looking for something to replace my habitual cold cereal breakfast. After trying 3 or 4 protein powders from the supermarket and health food store, I used an online nutritional screener to zero in on exactly what I was looking for and wound up with this. It tastes better than anything else I tried. I almost always make it in the blender with skim milk + 7 ice cubes + a banana or peanut butter. Sometimes I switch it up and eat an egg/toast for breakfast and on those days, I take a shake to work for lunch. Amazon is cheaper, more convenient, and less hassle for me than the local dealer (GNC) so I buy it here.

When I'm done with a container, I use it in the garage for storage. I use a black magic marker to write on the top what's inside. I've got a place where they stack like cordwood. The container is large enough to hold quite a bit of stuff and I've got one each for nut's & bolts, ac/dc adaptors, plant fertilizer, etc. etc.

My new mandatory supplement Oct 10, 2007 By JayC
Performance: This product, in any flavor, has given me the best results out of any Protein Supplement I have ever purchased. I have two brothers who use this product, both into heavy weight training, and they completely agree. With casual training, I saw a difference in my muscle mass in just a few weeks!

Taste: Best tasting protein mix ever! (any flavor). I look forward to having it every time. Mixes quickly and easily in water or milk and tastes great in both!

Note: The Nutrition Label for Vanilla was slightly different than the Chocolate flavor. The Chocolate Flavor is better, but only slightly. I rotate through all flavors.

Amazon has the best deal on this product that I can find, in store or on-line.

Syntha-6: Better Bring a Blender Oct 08, 2007 By William Bridges
I bought two containers of Syntha-6 (Mochaccino and Chocolate) on the advice of a gym friend. (Previously, I had been using Optimum Nutrition's Whey Protein for years.) Some comparisons:
- Price: More expensive than ON's Whey, but better quality, to be honest.
- Taste: Both the Mochaccino and Chocolate are good, especially if mixed with milk. (Mixed with water, they both taste a little like YooHoo. But only a little.)
- Mixability: This is the only category where Syntha-6 suffers in comparison to ON's protein. I could mix the ON protein with water or milk in a glass with a spoon. Do that with Syntha-6 and you get clumps of protein and you end up chewing your drink. However, put it in a shaker bottle and shake the crap out of it for 30 seconds and you're fine.
- Overall: If you want a cheap protein, go elsewhere (like with the aforementioned ON), but Syntha-6 is a solid, high quality protein. (Personally, I recommend using both ON and Syntha-6. I drink a few ON shakes during the day and then the Syntha-6 after I work out at night.)

Great results, but it ain't cheap Jul 14, 2007 By kermit4 "kermie"
I've tried at least a dozen different protein powders over the 19 years I've been weight training, and now that I've hit my mid-30s, I find that it takes more than just weight lifting+calories to gain or even maintain muscle mass. Within the past couple years or so I've had a difficult time meeting my protein needs without packing on pounds arund the middle.

THIS protein has helped change that for me. With regular whey proteins (this is a blend protein product; not pure whey, but also contains egg and milk), I can almost feel the unabsorbed protein converting to fat. Not so with Syntha 6. Particularly if taken shortly before bed, I wake in the morning feeling as though my muscles are fuller and stronger than before I went to bed.

Great stuff. Only reason I've given it 4 stars instead of 5 is it's a little pricey compared to many of the whey protein powders.

Good nighttime protein Mar 10, 2010 By A. Gift For You
I've been using syntha 6 as a pre-bedtime shake for the last 3 years. I've tried other similar products, such as Muscle Milk, but most of these products are high in sugars,saturated fat, and maltodextrins (maltodextrins are extemely bad for the physique as they cause a dramatic insulin spike and as a result, rapid fat storage) not to mention many other products use a blend of very cheap proteins that don't absorb well in the body. Syntha 6 contains a blend of 6 high quality proteins (hence the name), including egg protein and whey protein isolate, which have the highest bio-availability among all other sources. It also contains glutamine peptides, or glutamine precursors, although it is unclear as to the quantity. Finally, provides a healthy source of fat, in the form of sunflower oil. One serving provides 22 grams of protein, 6 grams of fat, and only 15 grams of carbohydrates - of which 5 grams are fiber. It is therefore the perfect protein source for help muscles recover overnight. The 6 protein blend is beneficial because it allows for a varied rate of digestion; the whey, for example, will digest and be absorbed in around 2 hours, while the casein will take up to 8 hours to do so, providing a steady protein source throughout the night. Fats are no problem before bed as they digest slowly, and so will not be stored in adipose tissue as carbohydrates would. Taste is good in either chocolate, strawberry, or chocolate peanutbutter. Overall, Syntha 6 is the most convenient pre-bedtime shake available at a reasonable price, and is a must-have for any serious athlete or bodybuilder. I recommend taking 1-2 servings about an hour before bed (so as not to prevent the release of HGH while sleeping) with milk.
