Legion Athletics Whey+ Chocolate Whey Isolate Protein Powder 30 Servings

I bought this product because it was a well priced (in the 5lb tub, with the subscription option, at least), grass fed protein powder from a seemingly reputable company. However, the product is not as advertised. The description on Amazon states that this is from grass fed cows, even stating that the whey comes from Ireland, where the diary standards are higher than the in the U. S. However, the container states that it "comes from cows raised on 100% non-GMO feed". That means corn, not grass. I had run out of protein powder, and started using this before i caught on to the bait and switch , so I couldn't send it back. Now I'm stuck with a 5lb tub of something I would never knowingly order.It is also too sweet, but that is a minor concern compared to the ingredient deception. I have bought Legion products in the past, and thought they had a decent reputation, but It would certainly appear as though their marketing strategy is based on lies and misleading claims. After this, it would be hard to trust any product they put out.

I recently switched to Legion Whey from another brand that was altering their formulation secretively and I couldn't get any answers on exactly what they were doing. I did an exhaustive study of other Whey products and was pleasantly surprised to find the Legion Whey. I wanted a low calorie option which Legion provides using high quality sources (e.g. Ireland Dairies, I am a university-based research veterinarian and I know that Irish dairies are among the best managed in the world with the best cattle genetics). I also wanted a high protein content per gram which the Legion product provides. I am about half-way through the first bottle and I am very pleased with the chemistry (easy miscibility in water/milk) and great flavor. In addition, I have had no adverse side effects whatsoever--digests wonderfully, little aftertaste. Finally, I am impressed that the Legion lab is inspected by the FDA--they have one of the most stringent quality control programs in existence. Next I will be doing the metrics on weight gains in my weight training program. I had a farm accident about 2 months ago breaking three ribs and other trauma which forced me to halt my weight training---just now getting back on that. I will write another blurb an a few months---in the meantime, I highly recommend this product

When reading about this product online it seems all natural and one of the cleaner whey proteins on the market. Was disappointed to see the P65 label on it when it arrived. Why anyone would even consider ingesting something with a P65 warning is beyond me.

Unfortunately I was not able to tolerate this product, but the company provides 5-star customer service. Here are the details. (Chocolate flavor ordered.)Pros:- Product arrived quickly and seems to be a good value.- Customer service of this seller and risk-free guarantee are amazing.Cons:- If you don't VERY sweet foods, this may be overwhelming for you. I am the sort of person who would eat cake but scrape off and throw out the frosting. This drink was so sweet I had to stop after about half a serving. (good thing too)- If you are lactose intolerant, not just sensitive, you may still get some lactose effects like I did.- This is the first time I had something sweetened with stevia. I didn't like that it has a similar aftertaste to artificial sweeteners. Also, apparently some folks can have quite a reaction to stevia. I fall into this category and got a splitting headache after trying the shake. I spent most of the day in bed because of it, and I only had HALF of a serving.However, I simply cannot say enough good about the customer service. They were quick to respond to emails and willing to do whatever it took to make sure I was satisfied. They offered a refund, another of their products, or another product and a refund if I didn't like that one. This is a wonderful company. Sadly I had to choose the refund option because of my dietary needs. They issued an Amazon refund immediately.

The powder is really sweet, and it gives me a weird after taste feeling. The bottle claims that it contains 30 scoops, however, after 10 days drinking it with 2 scoops a day, the entire bottle was empty.Additionally, when reaching to customer support regarding the issue with the product, I was given difficulty in getting the issues resolved and the staffs are not being helpful at all.I would not recommend this product.
