If you have the link to this information detailing ALR's stuff containing heavy metal contamination, could you please PM it to me? Since I am aware of accusations of "spiking", but have never heard of ALR's stuff being shown to be contaminated with heavy metals, I'd love to see the data.
NOT a flame... As much of their stuff as I use, I'd love to know if I'm doing myself more harm than good.
And just so it can be said, I'm not an ALR rep and in the past year have gotten a grand total of ONE tub of HP powder and 2 t-shirts free from them. I pay my own hard-earned money for their supplements because they WORK.Last edited by Triple-H_2005; 04-08-2012 at 07:43 PM.

ALRI's products have tested positive for significant amounts of pharm. drugs in the past (sibutramine). Heavy metal contamination, I'm not sure about with respect to ALRI. I guess I didn't word that sentence properly, since I was referring to the 'spiking' issues when I said "ALRI especially", not heavy metal contamination. Sorry.
But it's been well-established that supplements in general tend to be of poor quality and purity. Independent tests have consistently shown heavy metal contamination...consumer reports did a test of various protein powders and found that you would be over the set intake limits for a number of heavy metals simply by consuming 3 servings of certain brands of whey per day. Muscle milk and EAS RTD protein drinks (the ones they usually sell at the gym) were the worst offenders. Optimum's protein, on the other hand, actually came back very clean.
Here are the consumer reports results:

Also, I'm really not trying to bash humapro here - I think it's probably a pretty good bcaa/eaa supplement. I'm just calling BS on their claims that whey is a garbage protein source or that humapro is better than whey.

So the only reason your started this thread was to give you some street cred with the ALRI brand.....who isn't even a sponsor on this site anymore
NOW
I tried humapro....didn't think it was the next big thing coming like internet porn. But it was ok. I did it with my pre workouts and I guess it worked.
But I enjoy my protein shakes...keep prep fun

True, that's why I try to stay away from supplements as much as possible. Considering the vast majority of them give you zero results at all, and the best ones give you miniscule results, yet the chances of contamination are high+lack of research on long term health problems makes supps a big no-no for me.
I stick with my 1-2 servings of humapro, plus a lot of chicken, veggies, and generally clean raw whole food.

The only bodybuilding-related supplement that I regularly use is whey isolate...occasionally will use something like a PH or creatine, etc., but I don't make it a regular thing.
Most supplements that I take are actually just for maintaining my health and negating some of the effects of a high calorie diet, training hard, etc. For those, I just buy the supermarket brand...often they have buy 1 get 1 specials on vitamins, and supermarket brand supplements are actually usually very high quality since they are backed by a large company that is worried about possible litigation that could come from selling dangerous products. Other small supplement companies are mainly fly by night operations that don't care about quality.

No I don't need "street cred" from anybody, I started the thread to see how many people were using humapro. Maybe you should go back and read my first post before making such an idiotic statement and you would see that. I wasn't trying to turn this into a whey sucks and humapro rules thread either, I simply asked who was using humapro as their protein source instead of whey. But of course since this is the internet there are so many SUPER smart people who KNOW that doing that would just be stupid, even though they have never tried it. So many know it alls online

Wow! This thread brought back some of the guys I haven't heard from in a while!
I use HP around training sessions, or when I'm on the run or traveling and don't want to mix shakes.
When I have time in the morning though, I'll still mix a Whey shake w/peanut butter.

You said since becoming a rep for ALRI, you've jacked up your consumption of HP. So how much of it are you now taking on a daily basis? How much of it were you taking before becoming a rep? I'm guessing there's been a difference in your results when money wasn't really a concern and you could take as much as you wanted?
