Review on Optimized Cellucor Whey Sport Chocolate Protein Powder - Post Workout Recovery Drink with Whey Protein Isolate, Creatine, Glutamine | 18 Servings by Casey Murphy

❗️PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS❗️

Vanilla Ice Cream Please Listen ❗️DO NOT BUY THIS❗️ I used to talk about this product as the best in the range but that was before Optimum Nutrition changed the ingredients . The old one had Aminogen, a blend of digestive proteases (enzymes) that aid in absorption and the digestive process. They took that away and instead added cellulose gum, xanthan gum, SALT and SUCRALOSE. The total servings have also been reduced from 77 to 73, which isn't a big deal. Who on earth needs salt added to a protein powder like we stop consuming excess salt? What are the consumer benefits of adding salt? How does the addition of sucralose, artificial sweetener and chlorinated sugar help the consumer? Do you prefer ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS in your food or not? Did I mention it already contains acesulfame which is also a sugar substitute? The addition of sucralose made the product unbearably sweet and artificial in taste. I never take it with water alone as this is the first use. I make sure to add raw old fashioned oats and increase the amount of water to dull the sweetness but to no avail. The sweetness is absolutely overwhelming and leaves a TERRIBLE aftertaste. In addition to the unpleasant taste, there are different opinions in the professional world about the harmful effects of sucralose. Just do a Google search and draw your own conclusions. Optimum Nutrition ruined what IMHO WAS THE BEST protein powder ever. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS.
