First time posting here, I've been working out for a little over a year, and have been taking 2 scoops of isopure protien (50g of protein) after every workout. Guy at GNC recommended I try this MHP Dark Matter, I notice it only has 12g of protien, but has a "600% Increase in Protein Synthesis-Equal to 40 Grams of Protein". I'm curious, since I eat alot during the day to keep my protein intake up, Is this a better product to use than the isopure.

When I hear companies say that dumb crap about "gain 10 pounds of muscle in a week", or "29999% increase in protein synthesis" that crap is so over rated and just plain fraud really. There should be a huge crackdown on supp companies and put the fakes out of business in my opinion.

that jokester working at gnc pushed that product only b/c he gets $5 in commission from mhp products. i worked w/ a guy at gnc a while back who would only show customers products w/ the highest commission for that month.

Cardio improves your cardiovascular health, and resistance training helps you accrete lean muscle mass. More muscle mass means a toned and well-defined physique. It means protection against injury. It means a faster metabolism. When you resistance train, however, you are actually causing micro trauma to your muscle cells. They are being damaged. A flood of lactic acid builds up, "exhaust" from the muscle engine, causing a "burn". Blood rushes to provide nutrients and carry away the exhaust, and you feel a "pump". A few days later, remnants of the destruction that you caused, such as hydroxyproline acid (an amino acid) cause DOMS - delayed onset muscle soreness.

"600% Increase in Protein Synthesis-Equal to 40 Grams of Protein".

That sounds like supplement company BS to me. Most of your protein should come from food. A couple of protein shakes per day can help to make sure you get enough, but that's all they do.
