Basic supplements quailty? was created by juiced169
Hey guys i know you all rave about basic supplements un flavored whey concentrate as the price is pretty good i read on the forum sometime back that this whey comes from clover so you know thats a good company. My question is how is the rest of their stuff like their L glutamine and creatine mono. I have been told that the only place to get real good quailty creatine mono is from germany the stuff that comes from china is crap as it is sub standard quailty. How do we know if basic supplements is getting there raw materials from quailty places or not? No disrespect to LSJ on this forum its just something i have been wondering about.

The raws usually come with certificates of quality an contaminants etc. Now here's a little twist for you, you are quick to point out basic supps, but what about all the other supp companies?...see you can't be picky, just get from LSJ and save yourself some cash

Hey sting thanks for the feedback. The reason im pointing out basic supp is because im seriously thinking about switching over to them. Just wanted to get some opinions on the other products they offer besides their whey.

Juiced i feel ur concern for raw material coming from china. Problem is that basically all raw products come from china (prob 90%). If you do get supplements with raw materials not coming from there you have 2 other concerns
1. Are they bullshitting you
2. Paying through your ears

I know about a company that ordered 20tons of powder gelatine from china. Container arrived in the harbour with 20tons of bagged sand. There are thousands of chemical companies in China, good luck sorting that shit out:laugh:

Appreciate the questions and the fact that you're not just making assumptions :)

I know for a fact that I get my raw supps from the same places as some of the big name companies. Sting correctly pointed out that each batch comes standard with a "NP-400" certificate. Thats allmost like a international SABS stamp confirming the product purity and the fact that there is no lead, pesticides ect in it.

There is also good reputable labs and crap labs all over the world. When bringing stuff in from anywhere you must make sure they are "whitelisted" and have a good traceable record. I pay extra to have it brought in by an import company that have been doing it for decades - that way I know that I will only get quality materials thats certified and inspected.

Also all my tablets and caps have been cleared and registered with the MCC.

Hope I answered your question?
