Aye, Lads.
So I thought I'd check out MyProtein.com after some of the positive feedback here. Picked up a 5Lb bag of their whey isolate.
About me - I've consumed more protein powder over the years than any three people ye know. From the cheap WalMart brands to the high-end stuff. Some have been better than others, but never an experience like this.
1st pass I took just one scoop of the MyProtein whey isolate. Immediately, I noticed bloating and some stomach upset - weird as I usually digest whey very well. I chalked it up to some indigestion on my part, guess it happens - just not usually to me.
A week later (I was traveling in between) I wrapped a chest workout and went back to the MyProtein whey isolate. Just one scoop, roughly 25 grams. This time it really got the better of me. Within 20 mins, I had full-on nausea and sweating, and within an hour I'd emptied me stomach and bowels & had some of the worst stomach knots I've ever experienced. Full-on, grasping the cool side of the Porcelain God in the genuflect position. The whole episode lasted around 2 hours before I got back to good.
I dropped a note to the MyProtein folks, gave 'em the batch number and described my experience in case anyone else might have had these sides.
In return, I got a canned defensive response describing how thorough their testing process is, and telling me how no one else has been sick and asking me fer a doctor's note...
I replied back and said that no, I hadn't gone to a doctor as this episode had come on like food poisoning and had cleared inside of 2 hours & that I was most interested in learning if anyone else who had taken this batch was also experiencing these kind of sides. Same generic response in return - "If you encounter more issues I would recommend getting a doctors note".
I've now got a 5Lb bag of shite that I'll be binning and a p1ssed off attitude towards this place for their cavalier, defensive response. No offer to refund me money, no semblance of real 'customer service' aside from defending their testing. I expected much better fer the premium pricing these donkeys command.
