Has anybody ordered from them lately and is there service and quality still good? They used to be quite popular with guys on the forum. Their prices on whey, glutamine, leucine are the best I can find.

Can't comment about their service.. soz bud

I've used them many times and they are great.
They often don't have all their products in stock but they always have whey and they deliver promptly
The whey is always well sealed and nice and dry

My lately was about 2 or 3 months ago... Had no issues at all, got my stuff within a couple of days. I had an issue with their basket cos it kept not updating so I mailed them directly and they sorted me out no problem.

Thanks guys. I will give them a try.

Nutritech whey is cheaper per kg though :lol:

From where?

That bloats u and makes u constipated from all the additional fillers. Well it did me. Cheaper and better to get unflavoured stuff with no additives

Just thinking about this here. U can get a Nutritech whey for 2.5kgs for 450. If guys are selling unflavoured whey, in a packet with no additives for the same price. Either the guys selling the unflavoured stuff are making massive profit margins or nutritech is putting fillers and the products are not meeting label claims to be so cheap... u start to begin to wonder that we used to get big bags of unflavoured whey from clover for 1600 for 20kgs 6years ago. now rand dollar and demand for whey for baby formula has driven the price up to around 125-150kg depending on quality of.l whey. Now if u see basic supplements sell 2.5kgs for 450 that means if cost is 150 per kg they are making 75bucks on a package for handling and sourcing etc. How is nutritech doing the same thing for same price when they are adding to the products such as flavours etc. Either they are using cheaper whey. Or adding fillers.... this is my theory looking back in it due to bloating from nutritech products.

Why on earth did i pay R650 for my 2.5kg nutritec whey

I pay R590 for the 3.2kg. It does make you think though... But saying that I do this to look good naked not on stage :lol: and Nutritech has served that purpose for me.

What kind of product bloats who is down to a per person basis. Some people bloat badly on USN, Evox or Cipla. Then nothing on Nutritech. Some are exactly the reverse. Nutritech hits them badly and they are fine on others,

As for quality of the product the simple checks are passed; it mixes perfectly, in ice water even, and is non sticky.

As for certificate of excellence you can mail and ask for that as far as I know. Not that I need to as it works.

As for them m being able to do it cheaper...I'd simply imagine it is because they can buy in massive bulk to bring product and shipping cost down with discounts on quantity.

Even ON Gold Standard causes bloat in some people who are fine with other products. Announcing that Nutritech is inferior due to additional fillers is unfounded.

But I do think that 2.5KG of Whey Isolate for R570 is a better option by far.

2.5 Nutretech Pure Whey on chromeshop.co.za
R499
Im sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere
I cant find any info about weather its iso or concentrate

2.5kg Whey protein concentrate from basicsupplemets.co.za
R450


2.5kg Whey protein isolate from basicsupplemets.co.za
R570

Like I said my opinion.

Also it's not the only brand that has done that to me. Evox did the same to me, and back in the day when I was a young Squirrel I had it from muscle science, international brands don't bloat me at all.... and neither did bssa's isolate or basic supplements concentrate.. maybe it's got to do with the flavouring who knows but something in that brand bloats me badly. and I can take photos of the tubs of it I bought. So yea didn't not support them just couldn't handle the bloating...some flavours worse than others, didn't have an issue with their casein just whey.
