Amino Z WPI Protein Acne?

ClintonL on 04/11/2024 - 20:37

Know there's alot of people here who take amino Z WPI. I'm a massive fan of the taste and have 5kg worth. I started taking 2 scoops a day mixed with water and noticed that I've broke out heavily in acne. Alot of jawline acne/bacne. (I don't take any other "supplements" FYI).

My routine is the same as it was before and I shower right after the gym and whatnot. I swapped back to my bulk nutrients (which now tastes bad in comparison) and acne went down a bit after a couple weeks. Not knocking amino Z as it's a killer product and I'm guessing it could be something I'm allergic to but wondering if anyone has had the same reaction. Just wanted to confirm to see whether or not I give it another shot or get rid of all my bags which would be a shame.

    Can’t say I’ve had any issues and I am having this brand protein and creatine everyday

    There's a popular Reddit solution of placing a clean towel over your pillow each night. But it sounds like a myth to me. Try it out and let us know.

    2 scoops in one go? Or 1 scoop twice a day.

    • ClintonL on 04/11/2024 - 21:15

      2 scoops in 1 go.

          Please. As if you need two scoops. Spaghetti arm warriors dropping negs.

    Some people get acne from dairy. Protein powders have a high concentration of whey. It’s not the brand of powder, it’s the dairy in the powder (although there are other potential causes)

    The best option to test it is to back off the amount of protein powder. Eat some chicken or something instead. Or get a non dairy powder and see how you do.

    You don’t have to stop completely if reducing the quantity works. Just do so experiments and see what happens

      When I swapped back to my old WPI protein (bulk nutrients) it died down a bit. I've been taking protein for over 10 years and haven't run into an issue.

        once the acne dies down to 0, try aminoz again. If acne flares up, then you know it's time to chuck or giveaway the Aminoz protein powder.

    I am taking two scoops per day and never had this concern. Don't mix this with Anavar

    • serbpie on 08/11/2024 - 14:48

      I have 2 to 3 wpi a day, 1x casein plus drol. No issues

  • knobbs on 05/11/2024 - 10:38

    Never had any issues, might be worth b trading @AminoZ see if they know any of the chemistry that might be at work. They are pretty knowledgeable.

    I'll take any extra you want to get rid of :)

    I haven't had any issues with AminoZ WPI but I started getting acne when I started taking a protein blend a few years back. I think it was Vital Strength Total, so I just swapped to another brand and it went away. Pity as I really liked the flavour. Usually just an ingredient that triggers the reaction. Not sure which one it was. So I usually just buy a kilo when testing a new powder.

    No issues here either, been taking WPI Amino Z for years.

    The only way to know its the protein is to have the process of elimination and this can be a lengthy yet rewarding task. Just like how I manage to find out im lactose intolerant (fast process).

    My advice is, put Amino Z aside, put any other WPI you have aside as well (your bulk nutrient). Try get your protein from wholefoods for now, if your acne fully goes away, you know it's the WPI. Then maybe you need to switch to an alternative WPI such as plant based or vegan or soy or whatever alternatives are out there

    I used to have stomach aches with WPI cause I mixed it with full fat milk and I blamed the supplements from Optimum Nutrition, Max's and other brands. Then someone told me I may be lactose intolerant, then I swtiched to lactose-free milk and now I have I mix it with water……. No issues since and I avoid lactose.
