Dorian Yates Ultimate Protein Reviews

Dorian Yates surprised the whole supplement industry recently by severing his long-time ties with CNP (formerly Chemical Nutrition, formerly Chemical Warfare) and striking out with his own brand - Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas.  Initial buzz on the brand has been fantastic with NOX Pump getting superb reviews for its pump-inducing affect whilst the early feedback on the taste of the protein products is superb.  We’ve been lucky enough to try a sample of the Dorian Yates Ultimate Protein today and thought we’d give our feedback.

The flavour we had was banana, and I must say the taste was excellent.  The label claims it contains real banana flavouring and no artificial flavours/sweeteners whatsoever, and it certainly tastes the most authentic banana flavour supplement I’ve had.  Mixability-wise, I used a regular shaker cup and despite it being very thick powder it mixed very well indeed.  The mouthfeel was good and it didnt lie heavy on the stomach either.

In terms of ingredients, its all very high quality.  To be honest, it doesnt seem that different from CNP’s Pro Peptide except you get 5g more protein (same carbs and fat) and it contains CLA.  Price-wise, its a little expensive at £26.36 for a 2lb tub or £37.56 for 1.5kg.  In fact its quite strange that they’ve chosen to price it more expensive than CNP when thats their most obvious competition. 

Overall I give the product an 8/10 rating, dragged down a little by the poor economy of the tub.  Some 2lb tubs for around £25-39 arent so bad if you are geting 30+ servings, but for only 11 servings its no affordable for a large portion of the buying market.
