Title: Is Six Star whey protein good quality?
Post by: Pet shop boys on May 14, 2026, 07:32:13 AM
According to AI overview :


Six Star 100% Whey Protein Plus (approx. $20–$25 for 1.8 lbs) is a budget-friendly, widely available, and well-reviewed protein powder often lauded for its good taste, easy mixing, and high protein content (30g per serving, typically 2 scoops). It is suitable for athletes seeking a post-workout recovery boost .


Palumbo however completely disagrees with AI ...

Truth is, sadly the supplement industry is almost entirely unregulated including Palumbo's brand ....

Some tastes better, are easier to blend blah blah but.... Does the quality of whey protein really matter?

I think those overpriced brand pushed by juiced to the gills muscleheads (sponsored Athletes, oh brother lol) are not different than the more affordable ones. (with Fred Flinstone on the cover or Tony the tiger)




Whoosshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Oh the industry <

The "protein scam" has been going on for as long as bodybuilding has been around.

I know we've had words but this is a serious reply and not a dig at you. Where does "real food" start and end? Whey powder comes from milk, it's the 30% of milk protein fraction. It's refined. But so are many other foods. Take cottage cheese for example. Still food? If you think about it many "real food" are refined, fractions of the original source. Skim milk is not the original and it's in liquid form but it's food. I always said whey is every bit real food. Different powder proteins have both advantages and disadvantages over the original source. Lots of competitive bodybuilders have gone back and forth in incorporating powder protein sources and usually they say it's hard to say which is better. I think Cutler said he was in one of his best shapes when 4 of his meals were shakes or something like that. He also drank regular coke after workouts when Aceto was his coach and Aceto is pretty "scientifically minded." Sometimes a little bit of refined foods can be fit into the overall picture nicely. I have these medical grade "nutritionally complete" MRPs right now with all the necessary micronutrients and fat etc and it says you can live on it for a few months if illness prevents solid foods :D

Knows all the complexities of illicit drugs and peptides but doesn't know what real food is? LOL

Food is typically solid or semi-solid (e.g., fruits, vegetables, meat, grains) and may be chewed before swallowing.

Drink is liquid (e.g., water, juice, coffee, milk) and is swallowed directly without chewing.

Well yes -we've had words. Mostly when you called me some kind of kike, lol. For the record I'm of Italian descent so I'm cool with wap or guinea but a kike? Um, no.

Up until then I found your posts interesting. You seem to be a guy who experiments with exogenous substances routinely. I have no problem with that. At least you are honest.

As for foods, yes - everything is processed to some degree, but the farther you take it from the original form the worse it is for you. That's because any processing inherently causes degradation or removal of co-factors that the body evolved to consume. I have an educational background in chemistry and I specialized in organic synthesis in grad school so I have seen how even slight processing distorts organic molecules.

My dad had cancer so at the end of his life he could only drink liquid forms of protein - I totally get that. But we are talking extreme cases where the body has lost its ability to process food. My dad lost most of his intestines so that killed everything.

The emphasis in bodybuilding on high protein intake is based a lot on marketing. Lots of research is challenging that notion and I agree. I have a natural tendency to produce high amounts of uric acid from protein - my dad had the same issue- and stick to no more than 75 grams a day. I tried high protein regimes in the past for periods up to a year. I got lean but never found any muscular gains from eating as much as 250 grams of protein a day.

My take is spend your money on anything you want but be aware that 1) lots of protein supplements out there have been independently tested and don't contain anywhere near the amount they advertise (its even worse for creatine btw) and 2) high protein intakes absolutely do not guarantee increased muscular growth.

My problem with you is that has been that you often seem come at me with jibes about being out of my depth (despite saying I'm not positive about what I'm saying) and then not having any counterargument and me not really knowing anything about you so I can't respond. I don't know if you are a kike for sure, I have to take your word for not I guess, but you seemed to respond to my antisemitic anti-Israel posts a lot. But it's not that serious...

I have tried a whole lot of substances, having using PEDs for over 30 years, but I never really had the finances to really experiment as much as I'd liked. I'm currently taking a little GH for really the first time almost! Imagine that LOL. As for recs which I love, I haven't been able to score even weed for a year and a half haha. Only half hearted tries to find a plug though :D

I see what you're saying here but I've also seen cases where processing improves nutrition profiles or bioavailability. Like I think some canned vegetables or fruits actually having more bioavailable nutrient and vitamins due to the processing. Or take eggs where cooking it makes the protein bioavailability go from 50% to near 100%. Ok, so it's just cooking but it's still processing. I'm not sure if milk is just "drink" as I feel it would count to your food intake. I was talking to a dietician just recently about my food intake and she thought my idea of drinking chocolate milk was a good idea to get "food" and energy in me. If milk is turned into cheese is the cheese now more of a food and better because it's solid? I googled a random food pyramid and milk is there. Yoghurt can be both eaten and drank :D What about oils, they are liquid. Soup? I'm being silly haha.

If we take whey protein, it's known to have beneficial effects on immunity for example and I would question if it's overall worse for you than say tuna in a can? The tuna could give you too much mercury too LOL. I would choose the whey if I had to. As you know whey used to be a waste product that was thrown away but then some noticed that amino profile was fantastic and now there are constant shortages. It's good enough that it's used in medicine as you know from experience. They also use EAA supps for those with allergies or kidney issues and there are special protein supps with low potassium and phosphates for kidney patients and on and on.

Well I don't think too many people actually followed the old food pyramid. I mean how many actually eat 5 servings of vegetables and fruits a day? There was also no cake, cookies, candy, ice cream, pizza, burgers, beer, booze and cigarettes in there. Plus it didn't say to overeat into a surplus. Know what I mean? People want to blame seed oils or carbs while overlooking what I mentioned. That's not to say it couldn't be improved. Now Kennedy's new pyramid recommends more protein but getbiggers say higher protein is a fraud haha. And Kennedy recommends lots of fruits and vegetables, if that graphic represents it, haven't checked; doesn't he know vegetable contain toxins and fruits contain sugar?!!! I don't think the rec of professionals of the mediterranean diet is too bad at all. The medi diet has been the mainstream rec for what, a couple of decades?

What's interesting, to make it bodybuilding related, is that the bodybuilding diet of massive carbs but minimal fat keeps many bodybuilders extremely insulin sensitive, despite using exogenous insulin and GH. It shouldn't work that way on paper.

Any low calorie diet will keep a person from getting fat but eating low fat will make one hungry all day and miserable.

Right. Though individual responses may vary :D Some bodybuilders go very low fat but that risks deficiency of essential fats. I think the rec by some experts is add 6 grams of fish oil (or I think 2-3 grams of EPA/DHA) for essential fats at least. What other fats might be good to add on a relatively low fat diet? Olive oil? Egg yolk? I know lard is ranked the 8th most nutritious food in the world :D

AI:

In a comprehensive analysis of over 1,000 raw foods by food scientists, pork fat (lard) was surprisingly ranked the 8th most nutritious food in the world, earning a score of 73 out of 100. It beat out 92 other foods, including popular vegetables like tomatoes and lettuce

Why is Pork Fat Highly Ranked?

Unsaturated Fats: Unlike butter or lamb fat, pork fat is surprisingly rich in unsaturated fats (about 60% monounsaturated). It is particularly high in oleic acid, the same heart-healthy fat found in olive oil.Vitamins & Minerals: It is a strong natural source of essential B vitamins and minerals.Vitamin D: Pasture-raised pork fat is especially noted as an excellent source of fat-soluble Vitamin D

Everything's political now. I've noticed on men's magazine's websites like Men's Health and GQ that they pushed the high protein diet and lots of fruits and vegetables but now that RFK suggested this, they're against it. I remember reading this on the Men's Health site and then scroll and see articles promoting high protein diets.

Yeah everything is political. I don't really know where RFK stands on with the vaccine issue either. It's like Trump bragging about operation warp speed and then saying a little bit of vaccines is good but a lot of vaccines is very, very bad. What's that supposed to mean, exactly how many vaccines is ok? Do you know what RFK thinks about "peptides"? There was some new legislation on them, I didn't read what it meant. I think I read he used some and obviously he's on the test and GH. IMO the peptides are very, very experimental and we don't know what bad, or even good, effects they might have as some have never been tested. I think  the BPC-157 has like one human "study" and it was just a questionnaire given to participants, how they felt after the therapy.

You don't believe the body can benefit form extra protein from whey for people who workout regularly? I use whey right after I workout and before bed. I don't see how that can hurt. Side note, there must be a protein shortage occurring because the cost of the whey I use, Isopure low carb, has shot up $20 overnight.

Protein powder is a "dead grain" created by using toxic substances on waste products.

A good drink to gain strength and weight in a healthy fashion is blending

1 table spoon organic lemon
1 table spoon unheated honey
3 table spoons butter ( from raw milk )
2 raw eggs

and drinking it.

I keep saying it, whey is food. Saying protein powder is useless and a scam is saying food is a scam. Many disagree with me LOL. "Whey can't be food because food is solid!" Milk is food, look at food pyramids! You can pancakes with whey if it has to be solid LOL :D

If you're like me and can't really eat immediately after lifting, a shake, small or big, is a good idea. I've gone 2-3 hours or more after lifting without any nutrition, until I was hungry, but I feel that is very suboptimal for recovery. Might be even better to have the shake immediately before the session.

It's just food bros! ;)

A good drink to gain strength and weight in a healthy fashion is blending

1 table spoon organic lemon
1 table spoon unheated honey
3 table spoons butter ( from raw milk )
2 raw eggs

and drinking it.
I tried drinking raw eggs as a kid to be like Rocky and Hulk Hogan. I threw up.

I keep saying it, whey is food. Saying protein powder is useless and a scam is saying food is a scam. Many disagree with me LOL. "Whey can't be food because food is solid!" Milk is food, look at food pyramids! You can pancakes with whey if it has to be solid LOL :D

If you're like me and can't really eat immediately after lifting, a shake, small or big, is a good idea. I've gone 2-3 hours or more after lifting without any nutrition, until I was hungry, but I feel that is very suboptimal for recovery. Might be even better to have the shake immediately before the session.

It's just food bros! ;)
Agree. I’d rather drink 40g of protein than eat a dozen eggs after I workout. I’ll leave the egg diet to Ironnat. And to Rambone, I’ve had my blood tested for heavy metals and there is no issue. Thanks for your concern.

The sales tactic that protein powder of any kind has magical properties that will add muscles to you is the part that is BS.

I made better gains by just  increasing overall calories than just focusing on protein.

There is a coach on professionalmuscle who used to eat like 500 grams a day for many years but now he thinks 200 grams from animal sources is enough even for a heavyweight. He doesn't count the incidental protein from carb sources even though that can be quite a few grams. Obviously there's a ceiling and then carbs might help you more and if you are deficient in essential fatty acids that is important to look at too.

Nasser made incredible progress in I think 95 and Milos says he told Nasser to up his protein to 450. Nasser went to 600. Milos credits the protein to a large part in that progress and we know Milos doesnt shy away from crediting insulin and so on so it seems he really believes it. The progress was so dramatic Chris Aceto was trying to figure out what Nasser had done. He asked if Nasser had taken T3, and Nasser said, "yes 25..." Chris thinking he meant 25mcg, and then Nasser goes "...tablets a day." He was a bullshitter.

Nasser was awesome.  Dave Palumbo to this day discusses Nasser on his shows when he needs some good, fun content.

I'm starting to think Israel had something to do with Nasser's untimely demise.

I think they were slowly poisoning him via his dialysis machine. By the time he got home to Egypt it was already too late. The Jewish Weider/IFBB cheated him out of the Mr O crown; can't have a Muslim winning the title. Also, Nasser wouldn't polish circumcised schmoe knobs unlike Dorian.

whey is whey there's not much difference. brand doesn't matter at all. Maybe just in terms of what taste from what brand you prefer....

isolate is abit more filtered out in terms of fat, and lactose/carbs and that's it...

As long as it isn't amino spiked or blended out with carbs.

really.. wasn't aware.

I figured this "protein" on the label was complete proteins. aminos are not complete proteins obviously.

Sloppy regulations by state/geverments I guess...
