PetroPro Bad Taste

I had a similar experience my first time using pepto pro. I mixed it with some vanilla flavored whey and was surprised at the bitter taste. However, if you mix pepto pro in water with a carb like HRS or rilose it is fine. Don't give up on the pepto pro yet, it is a really good protein in my opinion you just have to be careful what you mix it with.

Sorry your disappointed bro.

Pepto Pro is a hydrolyzed protein source. Whenever you hydrolyze anything, some kind of a bitter taste results.

When Alex said there was no bitterness, he was comparing it with his other Hydrolyzed protein sources (520, 1300, 1400). If you can't stand the taste of PeptoPro, S-T-A-Y A-W-A-Y from these other three proteins ... you will be totally grossed out.

IF, however, you want the best post-workout protein source available, follow debruynda's advice and learn to do whatever you need to to get the drink down. Currently I am using a 20% PeptoPro, 20% Super Plasma, 30% Oat Muscle, 30% HRS mix for my post workout drink and I haven't notice ANY kind of a bad taste.

I'll give it a try Bro's and thanks.

peptopro is nasty, but not as nasty as 520, trust me...

peptopro taste great compared to 520 straight.

even though it taste bad, you shouldn't give up on it because it is really great, although i dont take it right now because of $$$ reasons.

listen to their mixes... try to do a formula of pepto and 1400 alex has some postings on here about sample formulas. it wont be the best tasting because it is hydrolyzed as mentioned above... but i think its worth the bitter flavor PWO or anytime you take it just knowing your getting one of the best hydrolyzed proteins available.

heres my current PWO
25g 520
40g oatmuscle

unflavored, i rely all on oatmuscle to mask the 520, no luck but not as bad as some other proteins i tried before. plus you know protein factory doesnt add all that junk in their flavoring like xanthum gum that is unnecessary really.

its a common misconception that pepto tastes good. in th pf desciption it states that pepto is less bitter than other hydrosylates, not that it isnt bitter. it is. a few seconds of not so great taste is far outweighed by the vast list of benefits u derive from such a high quality protein. like others have stated u need to find a way to mask the taste if its offensive, om, rilose etc. u will thank yourself in the long run. just my opinion..djones

I'm currently using 20gm of Rilose and 20gm of Pepto Pro for my intra-workout shake. It tastes like crap, but you got to do what you got to do to get results. I started adding a teaspoon of honey and that helped out a lot.

You really cant buy a "REAL" hydrolyzed protein on the retail level. Hydrolyzed proteins, really all of them but the PeptoPro. Ninjaalbert is dead on the 520 is really, really bad. PeptoPro you can mix 20 grams with gatorade and you cant even taste it. Try it with 520 and you wont be able to drink. Dont give up on the PeptoPro because what you have their is great protein. Its like owning a BMW 700 series with a stick shift and you wont drive it because you cant drive a stick. Learn to drive a stick and trust me,,,,you'll love that car
