Discount Supplements Guide

We’ve been informed today of the release of a new ready-to-drink (RTD) milk protein supplement from My Protein. The new product is called MP MAX ONE Promilk RTD and is available to buy as a single ready to drink bottle, or a pack of eight bottles. In fact they look more like milk cartons but we’ve listed them as bottles for clarity sake!

Only My Protein will be stocking these new products, but you can see that when compared against other products in the “milk isolate” category, this product comes out top.

I recently bought some more creatine monohydrate powder as I’d ran out of my previous stock, which I’d bought from My Protein. Amazingly a 500 gram pouch lasted me from January until the end of August, though I think some of the reason for this is that I wasn’t taking enough. I’ve since reviewed my creatine intake and decided to take a bigger dose each day!

I searched through our results and the cheapest creatine monohydrate powder I could find was Optimum Health Ultimate Creatine. The result shows that there may have been some cheaper alternatives from Bulk Powders, but when you factor in their delivery charge, the price would have been more.

We will be implementing delivery prices to our system in the next few days, such that you will be able to perform price comparisons including the cost of delivery, which should make the system more useful!

Sooner or later someone is bound to ask why we’re all that bothered about finding discount supplements. So we thought we’d beat them to it and provide the answer.

It’s simple really. We’re both in our 30’s with three mortgages, two marriages, one kid, one dog and one divorce between us. Throw in a little debt for seasoning and you get the flavour of our lives.

We’ve also realised that our geek lifestyle has been slowly contributing to the steady loss of muscle and equally steady accumulation of fat.

The answer? More exercise! So we both returned to weight training after (far to many) years off. We also took a long hard look at our diets and recognised the need for improvement, not least of which was more protein to help build and maintain muscle mass.

So we started looking at protein shakes and found there are hundreds to choose from ranging in price from nearly £30/Kg to a more modest £6.50/Kg - hitting just about every other price point in between. Being frugal we wanted to find the best quality protein at the lowest price and it occurred to us that there was huge scope for a site to help atheletes find cheaper, alternates to the big brand supplements or just discount deals on the big brand supplements.
