Prostar 100% Whey Protein - 5.28 lbs (Chocolate Creme)

Update - 31 Jan 2018 I recently ordered this product again and on the jar the importer logo was of 'MPN - Muscle pro nutrition'. Ultimate nutrition confirmed that the product is genuine. So MPN is now an official importer too of Ultimate Nutrition. How to contact Ultimate nutrition to confirm if your product is genuine : - Open the following link https://www.ultimatenutrition.com/contact-us/ - Fill out the form. Ultimate will contact you on the email provided by you and ask for snaps of the lot no (Printed on the base of the jar) & the importer sticker. - Reply to the email and they'll get back if your product is authentic or not. ------------------------------- I bought this for Rs 4124/- in a lightening deal during I-Day sale and following are my observations. The product i received is 100% genuine (SELLER - Cloudtail India) and here are a few tips to identify if the product: you ordered is genuine: - Look for the importer sticker on the lid which contains multiple information. (KAR Enterprises is an official importer for this) - Check the hologram reading on the lid too. - The lid has sort of a grip for opening. Refer to the attached picture. - If it is a genuine imported product then there should be a "lot no.", MFD & Date of Expiry provided on the base of this container. - Once the lid is opened there should be an inner seal if it is genuine. - Genuine one mixes easily with water giving a very fine colour and very less lumps whereas fake ones give a very dark color with lots of lumps. - Couple of more steps not limited to this brand but applicable in general. Fake whey tastes too sweet and have a lot of spelling mistakes on the label of the container. Have attached pictures for each of the above step to help in comparison. Pros: - It's easily the cheapest whey protein from one of the more reputed brands. - Gives 25gm of protein per scoop (30gm) which is good. - Low in fat and calories so a very good option for those not looking to gain weight but consume whey protein as supplement to their diet. - Has sources of proteins some which are fast releasing which is important for post workout. has slow releasing protein too which is also beneficial. - Can be consumed both with milk and water. Personally i feel it tastes better with milk. - Has a validity of three years and the product i received was manufactured 6 months back. - Has essential BCAAs.. Cons: - Not a big deal but the taste is not as delicious as the last one i was using (Cookies & cream from Muscle Pharm). VERDICT - Will rate it 5 stars on the initial impressions. Too early to say how effective it is. Will update the review after a month's use.

This is my second jar of whey protein. My first was rich chocolate regular muscleblaze. So inevitably, some comparisons will be made in this post. Read on. I was looking for a change without breaking the bank. I got ultimate nutrition chocolate creme for a steal on offer - Rs 3.5k. Manufactured in September 2017 and expiring after 2 years. Muscleblaze gives you the false rosy impression that chocolate whey portein is supposed to taste like dairy milk. Taste wise UN is too sweet and tastes artificially of chocolate (mb taste is much better). It leaves a horrid aftertaste. You will find yourself mixing more water. I have started mixing 250-275 ml of water to make it bearable. I am also finding it little harder to digest. The jar is 2.39 kg but its size is exactly the same as my 2kg muscleblaze jar so i don’t think it results in an extra number of servings. Otherwise, UN has higher protein content and seems more promising. Too early to see results, but initial impressions are fair. You can consider this protein over the options in the same price band. Bought it through cloudtail on prime. Delivery was superquick and there was less anxiety about it being a knock off fake protein. All the best! Promit

I was very puzzled seeing the reviews whether to buy this product or not. But with trust of Cloudtail I took the risk. I wrote mails to Muscle House India also to check whether the product I am using is right or wrong. The authorised importer of “Ultimate Nutrition” in India are currently:- ##KAR Enterprises. ##MusclePro Nutrition (MPN) ##Bright Commodities. ##Shri Balaji Overseas. ##Muscle House. ##Molecules Hub. The product delivered to me was from Muscle House India (New Delhi). Following is the checklist that one need to go through before opening the container to check its authenticity. Check Ultimate Nutrition website for all the details. 1) Check for Product Label for spelling and font. ( Compare it with picture available on Ultimate nutrition website). 2) Check the Product lot number & Date of expiry mentioned at the bottom of the container. 3) Some of the sellers provide a 9 digit code hidden below the QR or BAR code under a scratch type silver coating. 4) Scan the QR or Bar code available on the Container. 5) Check for Holographic type seal on the lid. 6) Check for Hologram on the bottom of the sticker. The hologram should be of Ultimate Nutrition. 7) When you open the lid check whether the container was sealed with Ultimate nutrition tag (Color Red). 8) The container should have scoop inside it. 9) Match the appearance & taste of the product. 10) Check Miscibility of the Product. 11) Get the Lab test done of the product. ### All the photos are attached with this review. One should always buy from authentic source. The one that I bought was from Cloudtail. You can directly buy from the authorized seller also. Now about the product. **Seller : Cloudtail india **Price: 2698 Rs (Great India Festival) **Flavor: Chocolate Creme **Taste: With water its mild in taste. But with Milk it tastes good. **Miscibility : Easily mixes with water as well as milk. **Side Effect: No Side Effect observed. **Protein Type : Whey Concentrate (Good for beginners, Not for those who want to reduce their weight for them isolate is better option to maintain your macros. ) The product is great as it is low on pocket only issue is with authenticity. Plz give Positive Feedback for my efforts.

Does not taste good and result were not as expected

I would not recommend ordering Ultimate Nutrition. High cost for a poorly tasting product. Even when mixed with bananas, it tasted like flour. And the flavor of chocolate crème is not there. Very expensive. I ordered Ultimate Nutrition Prostar Whey Protein in Dec’25 when I was in India. I didn’t open it till last week when I finished my previous box of Whey. The first thing I noticed was that the box was not sealed and the lid said ‘ON’ (for Optimum Nutrition) instead of ‘UN’ (for Ultimate Nutrition). Next thing I noticed was the color of the powder inside - it was not a dark chocolate brown as I would expect from a Chocolate Crème flavored Whey protein. Third was the smell - it smelled like wheat flour. I took out a handful and felt the texture - again it was like ‘atta’ (wheat flour). Since this was my first time ordering Ultimate Nutrition, I thought let me make a shake and see. Maybe Ultimate Nutrition does flavors mildly. I made the shake and it was horrible. Definitely wheat flour in the box. I am convinced that the seller replaced the whey in the box with another flour. Since I had already travelled out of India, I couldn’t send it for replacement. I am shocked and extremely disappointed at the scam that this product turned out to be.

I had been purchasing this product locally and it would always come with Paradise Nutrition Logo and Sticker. This time it had a Kar enterprise sticker, no golden colour Ultimate nutrition logo , so was surprised and doubted the genuineness of the product but trusted amazon since i could always return the product if i was not convinced. So visited [...] and contacted them regarding their distributors in India and also asked them to check the product number that is printed at the base of the Protein tub by sharing the pics. People at the website got back to me within 30 min saying Kar enterprise is also one of their distributors in India and also the product was genuine. So if anyone has any doubt over their product contact [...] Another thing i noticed is that when i opened the tub up i found 5 tiny holes poked through the "Sealed for your protection" seal (But the Seal was Intact) , this was the first time i had received a product with holes in it, so i googled around and finally messaged people at [...], so this is the reply that i received from them {"Regarding the pinholes in the seal, that is normal. That is our high-performance perforated venting cap liner. This allows positive or negative pressure of the closed container to equalize so that the bottle sides do not collapse under changes in pressure during shipping. The current liners have either a straight line of perforations(pin holes), a group of 5, or in the shape of “UN”. This is a packaging improvement not a defect. You should not worry about your seal."}. So 5 tiny holes or in U shape are fine, but do not accept the product if you find the "Sealed for your protection" seal torn, cut or tampered . And about the Golden Ultimate nutrition logo , if you see the logo carefully there is Paradise Nutrition symbol along with Ultimate Nutrition in the Golden logo, so its logical to assume other distributors wont carry it . There is no golden Ultimate nutrition logo on any of the products soled at amazon.com (International Amazon) or at [...] . I have included few pics to prove my point. Final thoughts : Product is genuine, had couple of scoops, tastes normal, mixes well and will only get back to add to this post if i find anything different in the remaining approximate 78 scoops.

Delivered on time .. seems like a geuine product however im not an expert and this is the first time im ordering whey ... imported by Muscle Pro nutrition ... had the seal on top ... container was properly sealed ..... had a scoop inside.. Checked on Ultimate nutrition website .. it has a list of UNauthorised dealers in India ... and Muscle pro nutirition is not mentioned in it .. The consistency and colour of the powder is good ... mixability is extremely good both in milk and water at room temperature... ive ordered chocolate cream and the taste is good as well... It has a 30 gm scoop of which 25 gm is protein majorly isolates ... so its good value for money .... cant say about results now as just been taking it for the last 3 days .... however checked some online reviews on youtube prior buying and those reviews were all decent since this is an american brand and ultimate nutrition is there for a long time ... also the price is is reasonable compared to Optimum nutrition which comes at about 6500 for 5 pds ... n this is 5.28 pounds n comes for about 4500 ....

People who are abusing Cloudtail because of the importer, read this carefully and decide. I have ordered this product from Cloudtail on Oct 8th 2017 on Amazon GIS Sale and got it delivered in a day (due to my Prime subscription). Before ordering it, visited the store directly and asked for this whey and asked for the one with importer logo. He showed me the one with Kar importer's logo and he said, its gonna charge me 5499/- if I want this one with importer's logo( without it costs me 5200/- in same outlet). So, came back home to order on Amazon as there is lightening deal running still. With my previous experiences with cloudtail earlier and reading the cloudtails reviews regarding this product, went ahead and ordered this even after seeing that its a non-returnable item. As mentioned, got it in a day, and the first thing I checked is the importer's logo and to my bad, I didnt find "Kar" (didnt expected paradise because, now Kar is the importer for india) but found "Bright Commodities". Bit disappointed but didn't lose hope as its from cloudtail. So, came back to reviews again to search for the importer and found mixed reviews. Luckily, found a suggestion with email ID (inquiry@ultimatenutrition.com) to whom, you can mail and get the product tested for authenticity. Went ahead and dropped a mail and got the response in minutes(10-15 mins). The guy from UN mentioned that "Bright Commodities" is the new importer for india and Kar was earlier one(Just the way it happened with Paradise). Now, the importer is OK, but what about the product ? For this, he asked me to send a pic of bottom(for Lot no.), Front(to see the logo and stuff), and top of the box(not sure what he can find with that). Apart from this, I have also send the pics of importer logo and pic of bar code. And as expected, within 5 mins, got a reply back from him saying the product is Genuine. What else you need when you get a genuine product at a competitive price through the sale ? BTW, this review is just about the authenticity and not abt taste, mixability or digestion which I think will be good as its a genuine product. Do some homework before blindly blaming a product or a seller.

Got in a good condition...expiry date was 2018...good but,,

The product itself is very good. Great taste and mixes well into my protein shake every morning. It went from being a great buy to an OK buy thanks to Amazon raising the price by $20.00 in the 24 hours from when I put it in my cart until I purchased it.

Excellent product

For the last five years or so, whenever I use my my tub of protein I go ahead and buy a brand I haven't tried before. As such, I have tried quite a few over the years. This one - Ultimate Nutrition Prostar (Chocolate Crème) is about average as such things go. I generally use one scoop, once per day right after my routine, and this lasted me about three and a half months. I didn't see significant increases in bulk, but I'm more on a maintenance schedule right now and haven't changed much, reps-wise. It wasn't too sweet, it had a decent, if a bit thinner consistency, at recommended ratios. It mixes quite well - using a shaker cup, I rarely had clumps of any sort. My usual shake include 2tsp of fiber powder and 1tsp of creatine, and with these the shake comes out about right after about 5 minutes. Seems pretty stable, no gastrointestinal distress or anything. Protein-wise, it's a pretty good deal. Less pricey than my favorite protein powder (Isopure Zero Vanilla) but with about the same protein content. I would say give it a try, if you have half a mind to do so.

To me ,they all taste about the same.
