I don't see the deal you describe, $70.75 is the best I get with 20% subscribe and save.

I got 20% off with a checkmark coupon (no code) and extra 15% off with 5 items on s&s. Does that make sense?

Looks like a good deal, but it's actually not. This is protein spiking. It's sometimes called nitrogen spiking.

That means they're adding in cheap amino acids and creatine to raise the "protein" content of the supplement. They're also trying to make it seem like they're doing this to benefit you, but in reality it's cheaper and allows them to post a higher protein content than they otherwise would using higher quality (and more expensive) whey protein.

I don't support any companies that do this.

Here's a quick video from Dr Jim Stoppani if you're interested: https://fb.watch/h2b5rOPzap/

After doing some research into what you said (very helpful by the way, didn't know this was a gimmick the industry used), this product is "OK".

Muscletech advertises itself as 30g of protein, 3g of creatine, leaving 27g supposed to be from whey. Whey has ~25% BCAA, and ~11% leucine. This protein powder is 6.6g of BCAAs per 27g of protein, coming to ~24.44%, which is close to correct. This protein powder is also 3.3g of leucine per 27g of protein, which is ~12.22%, also close to correct for whey protein.

So in short, the product is 27g of whey protein as far as the labels go, and 3g of creatine as an added product. I cannot make any comments on the quality of the whey itself, but given the lawsuit their parent company underwent in 2016, it seems that they cleaned up their act enough to at least give consumers what is advertised.

I think it's not isolate: 80mg cholestrol = 27% daily value.

Should be widely known for spiking their protein with creatine, when you can legit get it for pennies a serving. :-)

Should add CREATINE to the title post. Also the cholesterol seems pretty high for a whey isolate. They are usually around 15mg or lower per serving for isolate. For reference optimum nutrition and nutricost isolate is 5mg cholesterol per serving (and these servings are smaller, 32g vs 46g of this muscletech nitrotech).
