Hi, I am 15 years old and have been hitting the weights for a few months now and have seen modest results. I am naturally skinny and struggle to put any weight on so have decided to start taking protein. I thought about mass-gainer but they are too expensive for me. Anyhow I am wondering about Muscletech Nitro Hardcore, it looks pretty good and I have heard some good things about so I am wondering what you guys think and also if there are any better protein shakes on the market for me.

Thanks, George

I'm sure there are probably some products that people would consider better... each person responds to protein powders differently depending on how their individual body processes them. i usually use optimum nutrition's 100% gold standard whey, but have tried nitrotech. it worked well for me (i'm a hardgainer tho, so well = a few pounds of lean mass over the course of the jug), but it was kind of expensive for my taste. i get the same results from ON, so i stuck with it since it's cheaper. nitrotech is a great protein powder tho, mixes well with water, the flavor is good (compared to some), so if you can afford it i would at least give it a try to see how you like it

I don't like Muscletech's protein powder mainly because of how expensive it is. It is a good supplement though, they do put some other nutrients in it but costing 40-60% more than a good whey like Optimum's Gold Standard or Isopure you'd be better off getting that extra stuff in another supplement and getting it in more significant amounts for a lower price.
