Anyone else use this brand.

Price wise it’s a decent deal and that’s what I’ve been using on and off for a few years.

Is there much a difference in quality between an $80 brand at Popeyes and the $55 Kaizen.

From the labels themselves it doesn’t seem worth the extra money.

I only use post work out or sometimes bring to work as a snack.

Anyone else use Kaizen?

 
I buy it every time it goes on sale in Costco. Just got one a couple of weeks ago for $39.

It's whey isolate, no fillers and not amino spiked. However, I find the taste not to be the greatest. 

Isolate is isolate. With the 'big brands' you are paying for their marketing dollars. 

You can compare Kaizen label with any other brands and it reads pretty well. 

IMO, it is a pretty good bang for the buck.

I hesitate to even post this cause my memory is shit.  But i kinda remember someone online contacting kiazen and they were told the stuff they sell at costco is a different grade then the stuff they sell to other places.

Now, take that with a massive grain of salt cause I personally never looked into it. 

 
Sure, it may be a different grade (maybe?), but the label says 100% isolate. $39-49 (sales depending) for 2kg, by far the best deal around for an isolate. Costco Kaizen is in my supplement cupboard always.... could do worse, but not much better.

I bought my protein exclusively from Costco for years. I doubt that that any difference in quality between their offerings and premium brands is anywhere close to the huge price difference.

That said I now buy in bulk from Canadianprotein.com because I prefer unflavored. Costco has not had an unflavored offering for quite some time. 

 
I use it for the last 12 months I rotate with other brand love it! one month Kaizen one month ON I try to not get used to one brand ?
