The hype behind this supplement was huge. Optimum Nutrition is the king on protein creation. With one of the best in the world, Optimum Gold Standard. Not to mention, top gainers, casein, soy and even isolates. The Hydrobuilder was the sequel to the Hydrowhey protein that was such a huge hit. Compared to that the builder contains pretty much every ingredient that you would normally supplement with outside of protein powder. Beta-alanine, creatine and amino acids. Want the breakdown on the product.
Like all other top quality proteins, the scoop is huge. And like most people want, it is quite filling. Some isolates and lower quality items have the problem of not being able to fill you up after training. The flavouring like all Optimum products was delicious. Chocolate especially. The downfall that this protein has. Post workout beta alanine causes some serious downers. The pins and needles come in a storm and then after that a general caffeine downer. Apart from being filling and offering some fantastic recovery. The need for more then 40g protein that pushes the servings up to more then the single scoop may be the cause of the downer. Although it is a good isolate it is the same price as it’s little brother Hydrowhey. Same servings. So if you are not a fan of the extras and are stickler for taking some odd side effects. Drop down for the lower shipping price on the Hydrowhey.
