This is like manna from heaven. In fact, once I started using this, I quit not only working out and still gained muscle mass. I also quit my job and now devote my time to sitting on the couch and playing on the Xbox. And I'm still gaining muscle, about 5 pounds a week. I won a $100,000 scratcher last month the money from which I'm using to find a cure for cancer. I'm just about there ! **Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr. what's the difference?** A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount. **Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?** A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired. IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem. ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear. **Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...** A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good so far... *by P***1 on April 12, 2026* This French Vanilla Creme protein powder taste pretty good and mixes well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the Best Protein Powder *by R***D on April 17, 2026* Hands down the best protein powder I have ever tried.
