Deciphering the Jargon on STG Supplements Pure Whey Protein Powder

There are a lot of protein powder supplements on the market these days, so it can be quite difficult to narrow down your choices to just one product. The reality is that if you are looking for a muscle building protein powder to enhance your workout, then you may even wind up using three or four products for various stages of your pre-workout, workout and post-workout. Choosing a protein powder really comes down to ingredients. STG Supplements Pure Whey Protein Powder claims to have the best, but do they really?

If you look at the nutritional content of STG Supplements Pure Whey Protein Powder, then you are looking at a huge list of ingredients, vitamins, minerals and over nineteen amino acids in each serving. The main ingredient is American whey and it contains almost no lactose at all, which is good for those who are lactose intolerant. But unless you are a biologist, nutritionist or an expert on amino acids, the list can be quite confusing.

Supplements To Go (STG) is the manufacturer of this protein powder and they do you the favor of highlighting some of the more marketable aspects. They say it is high quality but low priced. It also is lactose free and has predigested protein. All of that sounds good, right? Well yes and no. You have to understand that anything containing whey does still contain a little bit of lactose. While this may not be a problem for most, it can be for someone who is highly allergic to lactose. Since the amount is so minute, STG can get away with calling it lactose free. STG also claims to have no added sodium but you have to pay attention to the nutritional label because people might see that statement and assume that there is no sodium. The truth is that for a single serving there is actually 33 to 35 milligrams depending on the flavor. So much for absolute honesty.

The frank and honest truth is that STG Supplements Pure Whey Protein Powder is not much different than many of the other bottles on the shelf or on the website where you are looking to make a purchase. You can always visit the STG website at www.supplementstogo.com if you want to see all of their products and get product descriptions. Just keep in mind that the manufacturer does have room to “stretch” the truth a bit and that may make the difference to you in whether or not to make the purchase.
