VPA Questions & Answers (page 3 of 3)

The protein bars are so good.

I've tried the chocolate in the WPC and caramel in the WPI both taste great.... The WPC mixes nicely to make protein sludge as well, with stacks you can get a variety of different flavors.

I've tried nearly all the flavors and my favorite was the banana.

They're good mate - I alternate the guarana and the caffeine one weekly. Get the tingles like the other known brands - helps get through workouts without fatigue (lazy feeling) and with greater focus. Caffeine raspberry is nice, guarana is bland but not worried about taste - once it's down, it's down.

Hi. I only received it yesterday and haven't started using it yet. I suspected it wasn't going to taste nice so was thinking of doing exactly what you are and shotting it! If I come up with another way I will let you know

24/48 hours, customer support makes a company strong.

yep that's what I thought. I'm still waiting for Venom to get back to me. Its a shame because their products are great.

Hi Julia, I didnt have that problem. I have only had the "Natural" flavour and i blend blueberries in it, so I cant say that I had a "Fat taste"

Can't say I've experienced the "fat taste" either Julia. I go chocolate and blend a banana into it. Yum.

Hi Julia I also got sick once from their WPC Vanilla flavour.....not sure if it was the"fat taste" or bad taste. No other protein has made me sick before, that is why I won't buy venom items again..

Their products it seems don't contain sugar as such. They are sweetened with Sucralose.

It has 0.1 grams of carbs. I would imagine that is sugar.

I've tried the Soy protein Chocolate flavour and is excellent. Nice taste and good properties, in my opinion better than the pea One :)

When taking the products will help with weight loss but so will good diet and exercise in the end just be consistent with it and you will lose weight

Canadian yellow pea I guess

New zealand grass fed cows

Its quite smooth

Ron, Type I or Type II?

With the un-wanted rocky road have you emailed or called venom? as for the shakers mine are both are fine, is the o-ring in the lid sitting correctly?

I haven't found a shaker that doesn't leak when the lid is closed and screwed on properly, if you do find one share it on here!

You will enjoy much more consistent results eating more food, e.g. steak, rice, chicken, etc. Mass gainers are simply whey protein with added maltodextrin/dextrose, which act similarly to sugar. If weight gain is your only goal, go for gold, but for lean mass gain, eat up!

NOTE: I was on mass gainers for 3+ years. Great for gaining weight, but it's really hard to lean out depending on your body type.

I will say Vanilla, their WPI vanilla tastes amazing! hope it helps.

Hey buddy awesome work.
fEw questions.
do you put weight on quickly?
Have you been known to drop weight quickly?
Whats your diet like?
What kind of training are you doing? (Resitance, cardio or mixture)

Hi Kate,

Yes absolutely, venom protein caters for both male and female.

Hope this helps you.

Kate, you pose an excellent question. I know this post was done in Aug 2013. But I was doing window shopping yesterday (22 Dec 2013) and inevitably went to browse the health food store. I saw protein powders being branded/marketed at males or females. The salesperson at the shop was explaining at some length and quite loudly to a customer as to why Brand X was better for females than Brand Y - I could not help but overhear the explanation that quite honestly, better belonged to the realm of science fiction. The salesperson's enthusiasm could not be faulted though. Now, both brands contain the same thing - whey protein powder. The only difference? The branding and label claims, and the price. Note, a gender-biased distinction for whey protein is arbitrary (and it only confers a marketing advantage), because the whey comes from the same cow, and the milk being produced would be good for male or female calves. We can safely apply this to homo sapiens too. At the heart of the matter, protein is protein, especially if you consider dairy or animal sources. Any functional difference beyond the protein content itself may come from protein powders derived from plants, in particular those that have potential to contain other substances (e.g. soy-based protein powders may be a significant source of phytoestrogens depending on how the soy protein is extracted). Furthermore, I have seen some protein powders being fortified with other non-protein substances (e.g. multi-vitamins/minerals). Typically, those fortified with iron are touted at females. But again, this is more about marketing (if you want to be cynical and you should be - it's your hard earned money), but also, if you can't be bothered to get your vitamin/mineral requirements elsewhere and want a combined product, then a fortified whey product may be convenient. I find that it is cheaper to buy my products separately and this also gives me extra control as to how much of each (e.g. whey, iron etc) I would be consuming. The short answer is - protein is protein, and in this vein, Venom's whey protein products are fine for women (and men).

Its a personal taste i suppose but mine would be the banana and wild berry.
Vanilla and chocolate are what you would expect.

my favourite flavour was the caramel, but the chocolate was also great as well

Banana. Such a powerful taste compared to the rest of them.

It's not very thick Louie. It does blend well though. I mix mine with 50/50 milk and water. Very few lumps. Just be careful with dealing with Venom if something goes wrong. I won't buy from them again after my dramas. Hope you have better luck.

Thanks for the advice Mark! I might try the sample pack first and see how I go.

Mark, thanks for your enquiry.
I am not a doctor or dietician,I suggest you ask one of them!

if there is anything else i can help you with let me know.

Only if there is an existing medical condition or hereditry disease.

The amount of protein you would have to consume to CAUSE a disorder is huge. Almost beyond possible.
