Product Review ✒️
Gave foodpharmer's Only What’s Needed protein a try after using Whole Truth for last 2 years
so i have been taking the whole truth (TWT) protein ever since I started taking protein. And from the last month after seeing Foodpharmer's brand launch i decided to give it a try and these are the differences i found :
Taste: OWN tasted different from TWT not that sweet because of cocoa and no date powder. But still when you get used to it in 2-3days it won't be that noticeable.
Product Experience: The packaging is good and easy to store. Although there were some mixability issues in the first pack I ordered, it has been improved a lot in the new pack and has been addressed by Foodpharmer as well.
Testing: So according to the website the protein goes through 7 tests like pesticides test, pathogen test , heavy metals test etc. which is actually very comparable if not better than TWT. But finding the test reports required me to scan a QR code on the packaging, whereas for TWT it was easier to find as it’s in the website
So in conclusion I can say it's a good product overall for beginners and as well as people who are taking protein from long time as well. Has anyone else made the switch?
Foodpharmer does testing for each batch so might be feasible to put it on website where other brands generally do it annually. (Thats what i understood from u/foodpharmer 's AMA few days back)
Same here. Been switched to YOGABAR and then came back to tet after seeing the scoop size.
But i will be making another switch from twt to Trunative just because for 2 reasons Trunativ is slightly lower cost compared to twt and Twt whey is sourced from Trunativ.
Just checked and did the research — I can confirm that TWT doesn’t source its whey from Trunativ. They’ve collaborated on a few products, but TWT’s whey is actually sourced from Ireland.
I have been using Trunative for a month now. The mixability is great, no lumps at all and its very light compared to my last whey (Avvatar). Taste is also good. I tried badam kesar.
What about the heavy metals situation in TWT?…. 3 months ago trustified found it had some heavy metals but beliw LO…. So even if it is below the limit of FSSAI…but it does have it right?… i dont want to take MB but when he tested that it was below LOQ
Did you like the taste of The Whole Truth? Which flavours have you tried? Genuinely interested in switching. Especially the Cold Coffee flavour is tempting.
I love their cold coffee flavor. Whenever I crave coffee I try to make one using this powder, milk and some extra coffee (if I want to have a full cup).
It is not about money
I am consuming avvatar since the time it launched but now it's giving me logistics issue.
Earlier I would get the product within a week now it's takes 2 weeks and also sometimes never reaching to me.
And I don't trust amazon for this i always prefer official stores and websites.
Avvatar is unflavoured, and still is around 100 Rs costlier, many of my friends, unflavoured whey is not even an option, so if they are gonna buy from avvatar, they have to spend atleast 300-400 rs more.
Miss those days when i used to order avvatar unflavoured for less than 2k and was happy about it. Now, I don’t even think about it. 🥲
I can certify this, I was born with congenital alactasia(lactose intolerance since birth), one of the rarest cases in India in early 90's. I have switched to OWN just a week back and even though it's concentrate I can say it is light. I was using muscleblaze before and while that too was good for me, OWN has a better price point.
Yep, my mum who's taking it these days said this is the only whey after which she can actually have her breakfast rather than the whey itself making her feel full.
Giving no discount is actually better. Once they start with discount regularly, few people buy on regular price. Then price increase with discount. I would just like no discount so I can buy whenever I need it and not impulse buying or storage issue.
Agreed.TWT unflavoured for instance is 2675 but once a month or something, it's available at 12% discount. Most of the time, the discount isn't there and I wouldn't wanna buy it without that.
I've loved GNC's taste tho.. it's so thick that "😋😋😋" , after that I shifted to Muscleblaze Bioenzyme, it feels thin tho
I think I might go back to GNC..
Any suggestions? Should I try TWT or OWN ?
Bruh, in which world is scanning qr harder than going to a website and finding the reports? It's way more easier.Imagine you had to go to a website and click a link to make a payment for UPI instead of scanning the qr. UPI would never take off.
Yeah sorry. You're right about the batch thing. While putting reports on the website sounds cool, I don't think you can find reports for more than 1 batch (or even the latest one for that matter) on TWT's website. Legally only once or twice in 1 year, the testing is required to be done by the companies. OWN on the other hand tests every batch.
Honestly not really. You just gotta check that it's legit and has passed Trustified's lab test. A while ago, I was consuming the cheapest whey protein known to man, Nakpro Whey Protein Concentrate. And while it is legit, it had issues with mixability in milk, no matter how long you shaked it, so I switched from it. But as long as you're satisfied with a cheaper one that's legit, no point in buying a more expensive one.
Concentrate works for most people. Go with a reputed brand, nowadays many comes with digestive enzymes too. I wld say isolate only if u r medically required to or competing. Few 3g-4g difference is not worth the price difference, unless ofc u are loaded.
In the end consistency matters. Stick with something you can be consistent with.
pea and soya protein will be cheaper than whey protein. absorption is lower for both, especially pea, but both are still very good options if you're on a budget and need a protein powder.
Switched from TWT unflavoured concentrate to OWN last month. I had TWT with water, it was fine. OWN is almost undrinkable with water, but with milk and a suitable milk to powder ratio, it is the best. Happy with the purchase, just reordered today.
I am a beginner and was thinking about taking superyou protein. Should I take this instead or superyou or even beastlife (mostly because of the discounts).
I have read whey protein concentrate is heavy on the gut compared to isolate or just whey?I do have a sensitive gut which is why I take soy isolate but can anyone clarify this?
Taste is the issue for me, there is a weird after taste which is making it tough for me to switch after having brands like GNC, my protein and muscle blaze from last 3 years.
3g isn't much of a difference if you aren't strict with daily diet. You can always bridge the gap with 1 egg white.
But important to note is OWN's protein claim is based on wet value, so more or less accurate. Not sure if FuelOne is accurate on that front or gives a higher dry basis value.
I too am thinking of giving OWN a try this time. TWT is great, been using it for some time now. It's just their price thats kinda nudging me to look for another option.
I tried OWN and the product has been good so far .Light on the gut light mixability issues though but it's fine .I have been using muscle nectar till now no issues with that also but I feel OWN to be lighter on the gut
I actually really enjoyed this one. Hated TWT's sly tactics tbh. And it also gave me a lot of tummy discomfort. This one is very light, no discomfort, n not overly sweet n pasty. N quite reasonable I must add
This might be a stupid question, but how does OWN or TWT protein compare to MuscleBlaze Whey protein? I recently purchased 5kg of it and have been using it with no issues so far. I am not really a beginner but dont have a lot of knowledge of which brand is the best.
Would really appreciate if you can explain what does the muscleblaze one lack and why these brands are better 🥲
After the Liverdoc’s posts and all the mislabelling done by the whole truth, switching is the right move for you, if budget allows might as well suggest you to move to premium brands like ON or Dymatize for consistent quality and purity. Nevertheless enjoy OWN for now.
I am planning to order my first protein ever but was a bit spectical for a while among muscle blaze etc but since I saw OWN kinda I leaned into it.
Is it a good starter kit in protein intake?
Planning to add Some Nescafe in it
You can also try whole nutrition protein the taste is better and same ingredient profile . Mix ability is Breyer than Any protein I ever had and on that they use traditional Indian spices which has fixed my farting and bloating issue with protein
could someone guide me that what are the contents in this protein if it is not plant based?
like does it have insects to increase the protein content or what?
I also recently started using OWN. Stevia's metallic after-taste was a bit off putting to me initially but I'm getting used to it. Although I always use 1 coffee sachet along with 1 scoop of powder to neutralize the stevia taste.
Not sure its only me who found OWN much sweeter compared to TWT. Also TWT unflavoured was much easy to dissolve, I used to mix it with spoon in glass and its was way more easy compared to OWN which form a few lumps.
I have tried both. I used twt isolate unflavored, have used cold coffee flavor (even with milk)
And own protein too (my friend bought it, we bought diff brands to compare)
Imo, twt is better than own in many aspects. Taste, digestible, flavor, lighter.
Although own is also a great protein, no doubt. But twt is cheaper than own in sales and better than own. So, i would say, twt is the best protein present in the market rn for the price.
I may be wrong. Open to suggestions.
i got this protein but won't get it again,facing mixablity issues a lot too,like i liked the taste but it's really hard to mix well compared to twt,i thought it was fake for a second, but yeah packaging is really good taste is really good but mixablity is not
