    I have tried true-post (chocolate) and true-pre (un-caffeinated, apple & coconut?).
    I'm not a huge fan of the taste of the post. The pre workout doesn't taste too bad.

    Thought I'd give it a try, as an all in one type solution. Was previously mixing creatine and dextrose into my post workout, and adding bcaa's to my pre. These products already contain these 'extras'.

    Will probably end up going back to my usual supplements, due to price/taste preferences.

    At first, it sounded like a great value to me, even with the short shelf life, but then I learnt delivery is not included, which would increase the total price.

    To reduce the cost per kg, I would have to purchase more, and if I did, then risk, it crashing with the expiry date.

    There would be, possibly, some tolerance in respect to the expiry date, but I'm not going to try how much.

    Venomprotein has got some good deals around, too, and their standard prices are lower than trueprotein's. I am yet to try the quality of this brand.

    My review from a previous offer. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/174035#comment-2448659

    ---

    Received my order of unflavoured WPC.

    Very professional website for ordering. Better than most.

    Dispatched quickly, and reasonably well protected by packaging.

    The taste of the unflavoured WPC is good (IMHO). I first tried it with milk alone (no flavourings) and found it easily palatable. No chalky or chemical after taste. And even better in a banana smoothie ;) (Taste is, of course, subjective.)

    As with most WPC, you have to stir it well, or use a shaker or blender to mix it in, but it was still easier to mix in than something like Milo. No big deal as this is expected.

    True Protein also put in a few samples of flavoured WPC. Nice. Strawberry and Cream is delicious. Not a flavour I'd usually order, but if I wasn't such a chocoholic, I'd seriously consider it. Vanilla is tasty, and probably good for those who want something a little less sweet. The additives are generally safe, and far better than those added to some popular whey products I've seen. Nonetheless, additives like Xanthan Gum should be avoided by people with existing digestive issues.

    The only slight downside is that the bags were date-stamped expiry October 2015, not November 2015 as stated by the OP. This clearly falls into the category of "first-world problems."

    tl;dr?

    Tasty + professional.

    I’ll definitely be ordering again.

  Can it really go "off" or expire though?

  It's powdered nutrients…

    If you store it in a dark cupboard that doesn't get hot through the day and it will probably last quite a while unopened. I think the dates are more of a guideline based on worst case scenarios.

    People on bodybuilding.com say they've used some protein powders a year or more past the use by date and it's been fine.

  • 

    durendal on 14/09/2015 - 13:03

    Yep, it can go off. The most common protein are sourced from milk or eggs. Being dry, powdered, extends the shelf life, but just can't eliminate it.

    • 

      JF on 14/09/2015 - 13:33

      The manufacturer is suggesting 6 months beyond the use by/expiry date should be a realistic expectation.

      We have been advised that all products will likely remain in perfect order for at least 6 months after expiry.

        Why they don't prolong the expiry date by extra 6 months then! ;)

  Seems that the deal is over, all the prices are the usual ones.

  • 

    JF on 14/09/2015 - 13:32

    Still showing as on sale on my PC browser and mobile. Could be a browser issue perhaps.
    Check you are on the size and flavour that is on sale as well as on WPC and not WPI maybe?

    If you follow either the picture above "Go To Deal" it will take you straight to the clearance page or via referral link you need to wait for images to load and click the clearance sale image toward the top of the page.

      Jimmy Lumpkin on 14/09/2015 - 13:41

      Did you add to cart? As soon as I added it was the normal price (for the WPC). Maybe my browser is broken. On the front page all the prices are normal as well.

      Edit: If I log out the sale prices are displayed. As soon as I log in the prices are the old ones.

        That's really strange. I just logged in and added to cart and all worked. I'm on chrome though.

        Jimmy Lumpkin on 14/09/2015 - 13:57

        I'm on Chrome as well. Just tried clearing the cache but still doesn't work. So I tried Firefox. Same result. Oh well hopefully it's still working for others.

        @Jimmy Lumpkin: Sorry, I'm not sure how to solve your issue for you.

        They do have a 1300 number, if you wanted to buy they may be able to process it over the phone given you're having issues with the website.

        Jimmy Lumpkin on 14/09/2015 - 14:16

        That's ok it's not your fault. Thanks for the help.

        @Jimmy Lumpkin:

        Maybe try IE, or brows in incognito mode (CTRL, SHIFT, N) or private browsing in FF (CTRL, SHIFT, N) also disable addons like no script and possible ad blockers while you are doing the transaction as they might be affecting the site.

  Can I just drink full cream milk, or chocolate milk instead of using protein supplement? Or is there an advantage to using protein powders?

  •

    Dude you would have to drink 2 litres of milk to get roughly 64 grams of protein. For the same price your much better off drinking a shake or two saving yourself some time.

      This ^. I tend to agree with people that say if you can hit your dietary requirements with whole foods than you may as well do that, but sometimes, when training and working it's hard to hit your macros. Supplements can help in these situations.

        I guess it depends what your goals are, I personally just go by the protein content and at 26 grams per 60 gram serve I would probably go for the True protein Wpc.

  $15 RRP for Dextrose? In what universe? Homebrew shop sells it for $4, and Maltodextrin for $8.
