Question regarding buying bulk powders... - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hey, hope this is the right place to post this...

Been looking at buying plain whey isolate because i dont tolerate acesulfame k too great, it keeps messing my blood sugar up, but its in everything i eat - especially the protein powders and pre/post workout drinks.

Does the bulk powder contain NO sweetners - and more importantly is it cold pressed?

Thanks for any advice

where you getting your bulk powders from as there are a number of suppliers? and it would get a better reply from the supplier(s)

Was looking at myprotein website but couldnt find out. In general really, wondering if its really a cheaper alternative or just a less quality alternative, in which case they can keep it

Know anywhere that sells cold pressed whey isolate unflavoured???

What do you mean it messes your blood sugar up? Are you diabetic or measuring the blood sugar level?

Whey protein and especially WPI will cause a similar insulin spike to high GI, especially if not combined with other ingredients.... WPI has quite a dramatic effect on insulin and blood sugar..

Nope not diabetic but that sweetner in particluar fools the body into thinking it is recieving high doses of sugar, but without the sugar. The result is a big insulin spike and no blood sugar - which im just unfortunate enough to be rather sensitive to.

Yeah ive monitored blood sugar - ive had to for the doc cos they didnt know why i kept getting major dizzy spells, cold sweats and losing vision.

Whey isolate doesnt do it that bad alone, and i certainly dont want to add to it with sweetners in high volumes. I prefer isolate because it works so much better than any other form of whey and dont want to sacrifice protein quality if i can help it.. just tryin to cut this sweetner down in general to see how much difference it makes to my well being.
