TPFREESAMPLE

True Protein are running their free sample offer again, which proved fairly popular last time around: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/149444.

Four different flavours of their NZ sourced whey protein concentrate are available: French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate, Iced Chai and Strawberries & Cream. First sample is free including delivery, additional samples are $2 each.

Site says Facebook like is required, however I managed to checkout without liking their page. Per rep comments below, Facebook like required.

I ordered 2kg of WPI during their recent BOGOF offer and was happy with the purchase.

I didn't complete the transaction, however it looks like you may be able to add a sample to an order less than <$150 and still get free shipping on the total order.

Edit: Message from rep

Hey Guys, sorry I'm a bit late to the party.

We are offering free samples again AND we do check to see if you have liked our facebook page PLUS we are actively checking to see if there have been multiple orders to the same address and reserve the right to not send the sample in this case.

Unfortunately, we have received a massive number of free sample requests (from ozbargain) and very few corresponding facebook likes. We have to review every order and ensure that the like was made.

If you have no intention of adding a like, or if you have already had a free sample, please save us the extra work of having to check your order. We appreciate the "It doesn't hurt to try" mentality, but in this case, it does hurt us. We still need to review every order, and although we have a system in place - we are a small company and this costs us valuable time.

Should we continue to receive a huge number of ozbargainers trying for a free sample without performing the very reasonable conditions we've set out, we will simply have to remove free samples from our website altogether.

That would be a shame, because as is evident from many of these comments and the comments from those who received free samples in our last post - the product is awesome and we would love to give everyone an opportunity to try it out!

Thanks for your understanding and I look forward to hearing any questions or thoughts you may have here.

      Iced Chai is fantastic - especially if you're feeling a bit burned out on vanilla or chocolate.

      All of our flavours are much more subtle in that they really aren't all that sweet.

      Thanks for your business and I look forward to hearing what you think.

  • tonka on 04/11/2014 - 01:16

    Any experts on this stuff. I am just starting to use a little protein after sport as I needed a faster recovery time and it helped.
    Isn't this one a little high in the carbs 1680kj per 100g for just protein? Or is there a reason for it. I'm comparing to some I see with 300-500kj per 100g. Usually the ones I see with this carb level are labelled as some sort of energy/bulk formula. (i'm comparing similar protein content)

    • tonytone on 04/11/2014 - 09:02
      +2

      500kj per 100g doesn't make any sense.

      If you had 100g of pure protein that would be over 1600kj. So the ones you're looking at wouldn't have much protein in them at all. Unless you're confusing calories with kilojules?

      • tonka on 04/11/2014 - 21:40

        Thanks you are right I was comparing kjs to Calories. That's great then cause the strawberry looks like it might be a go for me.

      Thats what she said?

    • EmployeeHoselink @ True Protein on 04/11/2014 - 10:22

      Simply like us on facebook, place your order and we'll get the sample out to you shortly. Unfortunately, we have a lot of requests to sift through that didn't do a "like" or have had free samples in the past. As a result, there may be a small delay in getting these samples out.

      We're serious about giving everyone an opportunity to try our protein out FREE, as evidenced by the many ozbargainers who have posted about the protein they received here and on our previous post.

      Hope you like and please take a moment to post back here with your thoughts on the product once you've received it.

      • Fobsessive on 06/11/2014 - 01:30

      As soon as you add the free sample to your cart, you should get a message stating that you are getting it for free.

      When you go to checkout, you'll see that the shipping cost is cancelled out and the amount owed is $0.00.

      Simply choose to pay by bank transfer and once we've checked facebook for the like, we'll approve to send out your sample.

  • Scrooge McDuck on 04/11/2014 - 14:05

    Have their products been independently tested?

    You can't trust these supplement powder companies to supply exactly what their labels say:

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=no+bull+supplements+test

    A quick look at their website reveals these problems with their WPCs alone:

    • NZ WPC is ~$11/kg more expensive than AUS WPC which is a huge mark-up.
    • Various prices across their website are inconsistent.
    • NZ WPC contains 79.8 % protein versus AUS WPC containing 76.0 % protein however they have identical amino acid profiles.
    • The shared amino acid profile sum totals to 110.3 g per 100 g.
      • EmployeeHoselink @ True Protein on 04/11/2014 - 14:46

        He raises a good point that you can't necessarily trust what supplement companies say. We are and will continue to be as transparent as possible. Please see the comment below regarding independent certification.

      • Scrooge McDuck on 04/11/2014 - 14:53
        +1

        Some users here actually follow up receipt of a free sample with a purchase if they like the product. Others still are consumers of protein powders and are looking for a bargain. Both groups I am trying to assist by informing them of what I have found.

        Frustrates me that we all use this site to get bargains but there is always some keyboard warrior that has to ruin it for everybody.

        I'm not ruining anything, except maybe True Protein's façade.

        These guys are giving away something for free so people can make their own judgment yet we have this chump trying to spoil the party.

        There is more to judge to a protein powder than its taste — like whether or not you're getting the actual protein on the label. This should be determined by an independent lab test.

        I can see that you signed up 6 min before making that post and it was your first action: This is highly suspicious of a sockpuppet.

        • EmployeeHoselink @ True Protein on 04/11/2014 - 15:39

          Sockpuppeting is a pretty serious claim and I would be curious to know from the mods why this post was unpublished.

          We have sent out thousands of free samples to people on the ozbargain community and are not responsible for their actions on this site.

          I have asked around and can confirm that the comment was not posted by anyone in the office.

          Certainly, the tone of the comment was not something I could condone and it is clear that you are simply acting in the best interests of the community.

          We have independently certified our proteins and will continue to do so. If you have any suggestions on how we can be more transparent please pm me to let me know.

    • EmployeeHoselink @ True Protein on 04/11/2014 - 14:44
      +2

      To be clear, we are one of the only companies that provides independent certification on our proteins which are easily found on both of our NZ protein pages by clicking the button "View Independent Certification".

      If you prefer, here's the direct links to those results:
      NZ-WPC: http://www.trueprotein.com.au/assets/brochures/WP-WPC.pdf
      NZ-WPI: http://www.trueprotein.com.au/assets/brochures/WP-WPI.pdf

      We are currently waiting for the report on our AUS-WPC, but it has been confirmed, as with the rest of our independently certified products to be completely above-board. PM me your email and I'll forward it to you when available.

      I'm curious to know the reason for your posting a link regarding No Bull? We are in no way affiliated with them and would appreciate you not lumping us in with them. If you would like to see what others have posted regarding our product on the forums independently here's a great place to start:
      http://ausbb.com/showthread.php?t=27025

      Regarding amino acid profile sum to over 100g, it is simply due to a margin of error on each of the individual amino acid and reporting the higher end of the results for each. This is a common industry practice, and if you would like me to provide examples of other companies that report in this fashion, please let me know.

      Thanks for attempting to educate the community on this as there are plenty of companies who do not independently certify and could be accused of shady practices.

      Hopefully I can put your concerns to rest and illustrate that everything we do is to the highest standard and as transparent as possible.

      Cheers!

      • Lockdude on 04/11/2014 - 15:05

        Hi rep,
        Sorry, I honestly didn't see the Facebook like condition (I guess I have a habit of skim reading these posts). I have liked your Facebook page now, is there a way I can get assurance that my order is on the way?

        • EmployeeHoselink @ True Protein on 04/11/2014 - 15:27

          No worries, you will receive dispatch notification once your sample is posted.

      • Scrooge McDuck on 04/11/2014 - 15:21

        I've voiced these same concerns when other protein powder deals have been posted, so I'm not picking on anyone in particular.

        I'm curious to know the reason for your posting a link regarding No Bull?

        It's just the best example of the potential issue in the industry.

        Regarding amino acid profile sum to over 100g, it is simply due to a margin of error on each of the individual amino acid and reporting the higher end of the results for each. This is a common industry practice,

        Common industry practice or not it is nonsensical to quote a figure to 2 or 3 significant figures if the error is ~10 %.
