Any of you that are fans of ON Gold Standard, Costco has a $15 instant rebate on the 90 serving bags. Regularly $60, on sale for $45. Just picked up a couple bags in store but the offer is available online also. LINK

I remember reading somewhere that the ON bags sold at Costco have different ingredients than the traditional tubs

Funny, a buddy, his wife and I were talking about this in the gym this morning. We all purchase our supplements from a local store (best prices in town by far) and the owner told all of us the same about ON protein and Costco. I find it hard to believe as Costco is very conscious about their image and delivering quality products to their customers and their reputation would take a bit of a hit if proven to be true.

Looks like a couple of the reviewers on Costco's website had the same complaint. I never even considered that. It is called ON Gold Standard I assumed that's what I was getting. Thanks for the heads up.

The ingredients and nutrition facts posted on costco's website are identical to the 2 tubs I have at home that did not come from Costco

I actually have had this on my list for my next Costco run. This month's specials go through 6/25 fwiw

* Edit: I will check the actual labels in the store and compare when I go this week

Chocolate on the left, vanilla on the right. These are the ones I bought today if anyone still has a tub and wants to compare.

Nutrabio
True Nutrition (mentioned by lsu777)
Pro jym
(There are others)

Anything that isn't selling whey concentrate. Anything that isn't selling a protein blend and fails to disclose the percentages per ingredient. Anything that doesn't add glutamine, taurine, creatine, and BCAAs (this is protein spiking).

Companies that sell pure whey protein isolate in bulk sell it a little less than a $1 per gram. So, if a company is selling for way less, they are probably being dishonest.

I hate ON bc they don't disclose anything and They also claim proprietary blends for a lot of their products. And yet they are still "winning" bodybuilding.com awards For those supps

true nutrition is going to be the highest quality but the others mentioned are good also.

ON is fine if you buy the 100% isolate. But I agree about the blends and adding concentrate, is bullshite and the same as spiking to me.

Stopped buying protein at Costco once they ditched the ON whey isolate. Started to buy MTS whey, tested and great flavors. Can't go wrong with True Nutrition either, great for bulk supps in general.

My only thing would be that I don't think Pro jym deserves to be in that discussion

yea not a big fan of jym or jim in general. the lawsuit really brought a lot of things to light that showed he isnt the person he portrays himself to be. Didnt know enough to be able to design his own pre workout or intra.

also his products are made by bodybuilding.com and I dont really trust them since Ryan left the company. All about money, so I dont trust them not to spike.

Yea nutrabio was where I went after he had some petty argument on social media with that company. But I'm probably going to use that trueNutrition one you posted, once I run out. Looks legit

You can still buy it online at Costco.com and I was told they will carry it in the warehouses on occasion.

All of this is right on the spot with my opinion as well. He is essentially a "character" being portrayed in my eyes.

Yea, I had never messed with that site or knew about it much before. I definitely want to order from there next.

Are y'all thinking of custom blending or ordering a premade blend? Do you add any of the extras in it?

This is chocolate from Costco vs Extreme Milk Chocolate from bodybuilding.com

Everything looks exactly the same
