BSN Syntha-6 Edge

Having been on Syntha 6 for a while, I purchased on My GYm Supplements for a slightly better cost than in local shops.

The stuff tastes great (the best whey protein I have tried actually) mixes well and does the job nicely.

The protein arrived in the usual My GYm Supplements box, not much packing but everything was fine even the tab inside the lid was in place.

All good.

Very high quality protein. It mixes very well, tastes nice and doesn't upset my stomach at all (which some powders have done in the past). Can't go wrong, highly recommend!

I do not write so many reviews, but for this one I could not stop myself from writing one..!! I have been training for almost 4 years and have achieved a good body composition overall and I aim to get better and better as well as maintain my achievements..! Having had a work around in finding best supplement for my workout/daily macros needs I have had great experience in supplements as I have tried so many before getting the best one for my routine. It's really hard to find a best protein supplement that is a combination of Low carbs, Low calories, Low Sugar, Low fat, High protein content as well as Great in Taste..!!

So far I have tried only one flavour - Chocolate Milkshake and I must say its a match made in heaven for my stack. It makes a really thick shake even if made with just plain water, I have even tried to make it with Cow's Milk and Almond Milk as well as half a banana with milk when I need high carbs, and it works out so well with all these combination and with all options you get a rich shake, at times it feels like I have cheated having such a rich Milkshake but IN REAL I HAVE NOT CHEATED, which is a best feeling as ever. Each rounded scoop is just 155 cals, which has 24gms protein with only 1.2g sugar. It is also suitable for taking at any time of the day So you are not just bound to take it just after your workout such as Whey, Or before bed such as Casein. It has a combination of all sorts of Proteins such as Whey, Hydrolysed Whey, Milk Proteins, Micellar Casein, Calcium Caseinate and Soy Lecithin with an amazing REAL flavour which is not artificial at all..!!

I start my workouts with a serving of
Cellucor 180 g C4 Ripped Cherry Limeade
when I leave for the gym about 20-25 mins before my training session and I take BSN Syntha-6 Edge or another Protein shake that I use alternatively to vary the taste and effects and straight away feel the effect of it. Since I started taking this I have definitely experienced that it has helped to gain as well as retain my muscle grown after every training session. It is definitely gentle on my stomach and does not cause bloating or upset the system, It is real value for my hard earned money and I would not think twice for trying other flovours as well in future. My GYm Supplements has it at the best price all over the web as well as delivers next day with Prime, Tension free--Hassle free...!!!

WORDS OF WISDOM..::

I have already recommended it to my friends at work who share the same interests as well as my gym buddies..!! 5 Stars *****..!! And took the time to write this detailed review for the like minded people who has a passion for health and fitness and would like to reap the maximum benefit for their training efforts and money.

I bought Chocolate Milkshake flavour as I had tried it from a buddy and I liked it.. If you are uncertain about the flavours or results I would suggest to buy the smaller tub to begin with and play around with the flavours until you find one that suits you best and then buy the bigger one.. Listen to your body and your taste-buds.. DO NOT Believe anyone including me who says this flavour is best. Try and Test it our yourself..!! You are the only one who knows your body and your goals best..!! Good luck to everyone out there for their training goals..!!

Sending Lots of love, hugs and positive vibes to your way whoever is reading..!!

Syntha has always been good and they have made it better with this one focusing on protein with diets.

The price is absolutely golden and with the subscription from My GYm Supplements its even better, I couldn't find it cheaper anywere on the net and Ive been using Syntha for a long time.

Tried first time after years.

I Used to buy Syntha proteins a lot in the past .

Great taste , powder dissolves quickly.

***The only reason I don't give 5 stars was because the pack was not sealed properly.

The internal paper lid was half sealed and ripped The protein powder was scattered all around the plastic lid and container.

First of all I would like to say the flavour is not bad i went for strawberry and it mixes well smooth. Ok let get down to the real reason we are here which I find no one ever talks about and that is performance and strength. This going to be my 3rd purchase and I can say it works well I've gone up in size and my strength to withing 1 week of taking this I've seen big changes. I take 1 shake for breakfast 1 after gym and one before bed. And I speak for myself when I say this it works and I'm able to push more and harder being able to get more reps in I've also had friends in the gym tell me they see big difference and that saying something. One thing I also look out for when buying a product is reviews but all people ever talk about is the flavours and how it tastes. But not actually about the product itself, how did it work for you has it made a difference have you notice a change in your workouts. That is what a review should be based on not so much about flavour. But about your results 👍

Amazing protein! Since I tried it I don't buy any others. Great taste!

Like all branded protein powders this is crazily overpriced for what is essentially a waste product from cheesemaking that used to be simply thrown away. Its not a bad protein powder, relatively high in protein and low in carbs/fat, and has a good taste (vanilla ice cream flavour). Mixability is pretty poor, I found that it clumps easily and separates - I find this with most pure whey powders, the whey/egg/casein blends seem to perform a lot better in this respect.

Tastes as good as Syntha 6 (without the 'Edge'), but with slightly less calories and slightly more protein. It's also more concentrated, as far as I can work out - the nutritional information for Syntha 6 is for a heaped spoon (the plastic one provided), whereas this one asks for a rounded spoon (which according to the internet, is subtly less). That hardly matters since both have the same number of servings, but do be careful if you're used to putting a heaped spoon in.

I've tried the Vanilla and Chocolate flavours, and definitely prefer the Chocolate one. The Vanilla one tastes fine, and there's no strange aftertaste like with other protein powders, but it's just a bit boring. By the time I got halfway through, I ordered a tub of the Chocolate just to vary it up. The Chocolate, though, I could happily swim in a lake of and not get bored. Weirdly, the chocolate has less sugars (1.1g) than Vanilla (1.5g) too. Also has a bit less fat and carbs, and more fibre and sodium (as well as a marginal >0.5g less protein).

So what's my take-home? Vanilla is great but potentially monotonous, so get a smaller tub. Chocolate is great consistently, so get a truckload. Getting the 'Edge' version is worth it for the extra few pounds.

I think this particular protein is the best I've used in thirty plus years of training. All the flavours are delicious, but cookies and cream actually has little bit of biscuit (cookie) in it. The novelty of that ends after the first couple of days. Then you just start to get annoyed by them.

But the product itself is first class. Very easy on the stomach and tasty. It's not the cheapest, but I am willing to pay the extra. It's worth it.

Yeah

Best overall protein powder on the market. Higher than average protein content and lower than average bad fats/sugar content. I researched for hours between this and OP Gold standard. Syntha servings scoops are bigger by 10g more than gold standard scoops but same amount of sugar and fats (so if you used same size for each then syntha edge is less fats n sugar).

Vanilla

So I decided to get vanilla ice cream as I thought I could use that in fruit smoothie because vanilla goes better with fruit than chocolate.

1st impression. Is it smells like milky bar chocolate (white choco...) Not like vanilla ice cream.

2nd as a stand alone shake I find it sickly. To rich in flavour but throw a 7 or 8 raspberry in the nutri bullet with a scoop and water and you have a epic smoothie.

3rd wash out mixer straight away because the residue in the cup smells like off milk very quickly

Chocolate milkshake

IMPORTANT ***Taste is not 100% milkshake like, as the chocolate is slightly chemically rather than creamy chocolate. This because it's made to taste like American chocolate bars not like CREAMY CADBURYS which were used to in uk which is a far far far superior taste, FACT. Therefore the syntha is still very good chocolate taste but not super taste..

The tub is only 2/3 full. But it's not fake or used it's 1 generic sized tub with different sized portions you might order.

You will end up buying 1 per month IMO because you will want it more than once a day it's to tasty not to. which is it's only negative because as long as it stays £28 x 12 months. Gold standard is slightly better value for money about £45 x every 2 months.

Finally my main reason for choosing this over gold standard is that syntha DOES NOT contain digestive enzymes (the stuff that triggers the poops due to speeding up digestion and release)

Choc as a standalone drink for gym and vanilla for mixing into fruit smoothies at home or work type of drink.

I have been using BSN supplements for many years IMHO it's still by far the best. Mixes easily without a blender, tastes great (even with water) . More importantly it does the job for my weight training and diet, Great stuff! Well worth spending the extra few quid rather than the usual cheap brands like 'My Protein' as the difference in taste, mixing and performance is massive!

It is my favourite chocolat flavour, to be honest the only one that I managed to finish. Good protein support.

After years if trying every protein brand and type under the sun I can safely say this is the first I've found thats a good quality protein, doesnt cause an upset gut and at a fair price. Definetly worth trying out

I like the taste but sometimes it's just too much. Would love to try other flavours. Overall it does it's job, it helps with muscle growth and repair. Definitely would buy it again just in different flavours

Review update.

This price rise I hope it is an error....

------------

I purchased the vanilla ice cream flavour after 5-6 months and wow what a surprise. The flavour is even more improved!!! Amazing stuff, the best tasting protein powder ever...

I mix it with kefir milk, the consistency becomes so creamy and the flavour even more yummy 😍. I don't use a blender or shaker, I just stir it with a spoon until the consistency is smooth. Perfect.

Syntha 6 and Syntha 6 Edge are the best products on the market. Easy to mix, easily digestable and taste like milk shake.

Looks cool. I was comparing this to the Gold Nutrition version and this came out top for me. Don't quite understand why they do different weights between 1.6kg-2.2kg. Very easy to blend with no lumps. A touch on the sweet side but I can deal with it. Other than that it tastes nice

Very tasty, it blends easily. Somehow it makes me a bit gassy, but it is manageable.

Very good non lumpy easy to mix protein powder. Cookies and cream flavor is great. I use it every day

This is a nice quality protein , Tastes nice , not too sweet. I find it better than reflex whey. No nasty aftertaste. It's bargain if you can get it under £24 for 1.8kg/2kg Tub. Otherwise na.

Tastes AMAZING, i actually look forward to it after my workout. Mix with water but milk takes it to another level if you are not so strict on the calories

This protein powder is very good. Strawberry flavour tastes nice especially with cold water is like a smoothie.

BEST PROTEIN EVER, i train a lot and for 8 years trying to fin that protein and this is it , it tastes soooo good, and doesnt even taste like protein like has no after taste no horrible burp or protein farts ha, but seriously guys from a big lad who trains this is the way forward anybody who gives this a bad review is mixing it with some other stuff cause plain cold water and a scoop of this is amazing,

oh, i also left it in my car for 3 days opened it and still smelt like milkshake no protein haha

So when it comes to protein powder usually (in my case anyway) you have to try/sample multiple brands until you find the one that is right for you. This being down to ether mix-ability, taste or consistency. For me I have tried multiple powders from Optimal Nutrition, The Protein Works, PHD, My Protein. So far out of all that I have tried I found that the BSN has been one of the best.

When it comes down to the protein drink the it has an amazing taste, to be fair if someone just handed me one of the drink and did not tell me what is was I would just has amused it was a vanilla milkshake. It says to use 120ml-150ml of water which in all fairness is not bad but it is a little thick for my liking so is usually do 250ml-300ml of cold water to make it just right for me. I have also started adding some into my
THE PROTEIN WORKS Pure Fine Scottish Oats - 2 kg
in the morning to give a little extra boost.

Overall from what I have used for BSN I have been very impressed, everything they make tastes great and does the job well. I would definitely recommend BSN products to anyone.
