I was wondering what everyone's opinion of Soy protein was. For my shakes, I use EAS Soy instead of whey for the simple reason that it is cheaper. Are there any real advatages to using whey protein that would justify the added cost?

If you are male you should not use soy.

It raises your estrogen levels, which means your testosterone levels decrease for balance. Tissue growth has been shown in some studies.

just use whey protein. Not much truth that soy raises your estrogen levels. However, the amino acid profile is much more favorable in whey protein. Also, it is absorbed quicker and easier by your body. So, nothing wrong with soy (it's even beneficial in moderate doses) but you should mostly get whey, casein (from milk) and lean meats,

I highly recommend "Optimum Whey Protien" - It is bar none the best protien on the market and comes with several other major supplements already packed into it, such as L-Argenine (the amino acid that increases the amt of sp3rm) for larger ejaculations.

It's not expensive either. Off the internet you can order a 5lb jug (3 months supply if you take a shake daily) for 30-40 bucks.

Can you link us to some sites that currently have such offers?

I'm not good at internet hunting so this would be a GREAT help as I plan to get some whey protein.
