HUGE Costco Protein Review - What to AVOID to Save $$ - Thomas DeLauer
I went to Costco and did a MASSIVE review of all of their protein powders! Protein powder isn't just as simple as differentiating between the type (eg: whey vs pea). You see, often times protein powders are loaded with cheap fillers and preservatives to increase shelf life, despite some having pretty nasty effects. So this video explains which ingredients you should look out for when choosing a protein powder! I'll see you in the comments!

How do you feel about Isopure whey protein?
Arachidonic acid for gains, would this trigger inflammation in non trained areas...
Is dyamitaze iso 100 whey isolate a good protein?
I've been using only. Allmax Isoflex Whey protein. Is that a good one? The ingredients look fine,but I'm not an expert like youu
please do a guide for buying eggs!
My guy pronouncing these scientific terms like their his casual friends
You’re just a casual
Kel, right?? Like plz dumb it down for us casual and avid gym goers
They really are
Haha i love that tho! He really knows his stuff 🤍
*they’re
This dude should make his own protein I would definitely buy his protein
Athlean x makes protein. Quite good
agree
He does. And that's gay.
The workout formulas (pre, post or overnight recover) that are actually good will be 2-4x more expensive than if you were to buy the ingredients they use in bulk and mix them together. You can actually go a step farther and find natural sources that contain those ingredients to save even more money. For example, processing raw pumpkin seeds into a powder can save you a lot compared to bulk refined ingredients.
I bet you would....gaaaayyyy. lol
I really appreciate your videos. I was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic. As a native, diabetes runs in my family to the point of long term dialysis as the end result almost 100% of the time. I am determined to turn this around before it turns into full blown diabetes and have made some major diet changes but there is a lot more to it and I've learned so much from your easy to understand explanations. My life is too full to spend it in a dialysis chair!
This breakdown was awesome, I finally understand the ingredients going into my shakes. Always thought the protein I was using was low quality, now I know why. Thanks !
I am always impressed by your label reading, I find new things to moderate. Super informative! Thank you
Thanks for watching! Hopefully it helps
I am 42. Ive purchased so many products. My brother.... Thank you for breaking this down. My personal opinion, this is a video we all need to hear. Take your time, i am captivated, i wish i new this information, now you give it to us raw. God bless you and your family. Keep up the amazing work!
Man! You are my new hero! Keep bringing videos like this. Kudos and thanks for the help!
Now you need to review all the protein bars they have at Costco.
That'll be a long video as well. lol
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I doubt a single one is keto friendly.
I second that, but from what I've seen there probably is not a single one that is keto approved
None are good
Kirkland brand is fire
As someone who loves protein smoothies this video was HUGE in learning the various ingredients in protein powders!! I used to love slinging back Premier Protein RTDs - thanks to this video I will take a pass on them from now on. I will look for the Dymatize and ON Isolate at my Costco!
This dude knows his stuff. He's not even letting all of his nerdery about food and body out for us regular people haha. I love it man. I'll continue to watch and subscribe. I'm a label reader and fda and corporate skeptic and things still slip through the cracks with the way they word things to trick us. Thanks again! You're awesome!
I am SO confident and bold out there grocery shopping now knowing that what I'm choosing is 'really' healthy for my family all thanks to you and a cpl others...Between YOU, Dr. Berg and Bobby (Flav-City) I have hit the JackPot!!!! I love each of you so very much and appreciate your content and the heart behind it! 😍🥰💙🙏💙 #THANKYOU 🤗😘😎
I cannot thank you enough for your videos!! I am learning such about the ingredients, chemicals and such and how they impact my body. I truly believe that the cleaner and fewer ingredients the better, but there were so many things that on their own seem ok that can affect me specifically because of my thyroid for example. Your videos ate easy to follow, simply explained, and super informative. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
One of my favorites from you! This was very user-friendly info presented in a format in which the buyer appreciates! LOVE the depth of info on ingredients. I can use this info to educate our patients. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
All man! This is the most in-depth protein explanation I've ever came across. I'm glad I came to this channel. I am definitely a subscriber!
Your such an inspiration!!! I’ve started fasting and I watch all your clean eating and keto hall videos!
9:50 yay! I'm happy my Orgain Keto College chocolate mix made the cut! I only recently started watching TD about 3 months ago and lost 35 pounds by making small changes and increasing my activity level. I'm not full Keto yet, but I'm willing to learn and TD is the best teacher out there!
I’ve learned a few things ,tried those proteins and the one you bought ON Isolate was my favorite choice too. Excellent work
I've been looking for a content like this. Thanks so much.
Super helpful, thanks! Great content as always. Would def love to see more of these shopping choices videos please.
Thank you for breaking down the the Orgain protein superfood powder. I like it a lot because it helps me use the restroom. But I always wondered what you thought about the ingredients profile & I value your opinion. Great video!
The 5% Erythritol is 100x too sweet.
The claim of 1 gram sugar is HIGHLY misleading 😢😮
Woohoo! I've been waiting on this one and you covered all the ones I was curious about. Thx!
Thanks for watching!
Great review Thomas... very informative! Now I know what to look for when shopping for protein.
thank you so much for taking the time to make this video to educate us! So appreciated!
Been struggling getting my protein up without over eating my calories. Thanks for all you do!
Chara Allandis thomas stated in a precious video that your body processes 30% of calories of protein intake by simply digesting it.
Thanks for watching!
Thomas, You ok'd 2 of my "go to" products.....yeaaaaa! So happy! Thank you for your info to help guide me in making good choices for my health and well being!!! You're the best!!😊👍
When a video was made over a yr ago but the information is still accurate and essential today. Thank you!
Just stumbled on your channel a few days ago man and it's helped me understand protein powders and supplements in such a simple way, which isn't a derogatory statement. Appreciate this 🙏🏽
The most informative review of protein powders and ingredients I've ever seen!
If this man told me the world was a square I believe it.
Thank you Thomas for breaking down the information on protein powders. This video was very helpful.
Been looking for something like this a LONG time. Killed it! Subscribed!
Thanks, Thomas, for the great info!
Best content! down 80lbs since October on a keto, fast, fasting exercise & good supplement regimen all based on your videos. Couldn’t thank you enough
Great 👌. Do you have one meal per day?
Two meals a day. Minimizing snacking. 18/6 window. Found that I would be stressing and overthinking with Omad
@@Gkoridis Nice regimen 😊
@@Gkoridis Great job with your weight loss, Greg. Thanks for sharing your regimen. I want to try it, too. Do you do bulletproof coffee at all?
Barbara H. No bulletproof. Black coffee with monk fruit. I use coffee to curb appetite and/or as a pre workout. Polyphenols are a bonus!
I really I appreciate you took the time to explain everything very detailed bro, thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks very much Thomas, I know that for years and years I and many other Costco shoppers have been needing a specific video like this.
I dont go to Costco but its always great to hear about the proteins and ingredients. I can't get people to understand that Ace K and Sucralose are not good for them. They see so many other keto youtubers using products with those in them and say, well it's okay for me too. The Orgain Chocolate taste just like a Wendy's Choc Frosty too!
I love Orgain protein products. We use the Plant, Whey and Keto Collagen protein powders.
I stopped using a TON of stuff that had Ace K. I can't find a lot of research about it though, other than the video Thomas made about Crystal Light and Mio style water additives. I still haven't used any products with Ace K after watching that video.
@@debrah.1348 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3198517/
Ace K and sucralose do not have adverse side effects.
If you can stretch this to an hour in depth video, in your studio, I would watch it several times! I appreciate this 👍🏽🙌🏽
Great timing. My wife and I just got a Costco card yesterday, this was the first section we checked out. Great info. Ty
I learned so much from this one video from its breakdown. Some influencers just have an opinion based on ego rather than information
Whew!!! I was waiting for you to come across Vital Protein Collagen. Just bought it and I was so thrilled with your stamp of approval. I love this mixed with my coffee! Tons of great protein info!!!!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
There are a few statements, that I can't agree with. Saying that you absorb whey protein hydrolysate is not entirely true, because the di- and tri-peptides that it's composed of are not that easily absorbed by you intestines due to the fact, that the protein transporters in the cells are meant to transport more complicated proteins than peptides (due to the fact, that those peptides are not that common, when compared to proteins). That's btw. why EAA and BCAA don't build muscle and are used as a energy source (they go through a process called deamination and are broken down to pyruate acid which goes into a process called Krebs-cycle and are used as an alternate energy source). So, what is the best protein supplement (btw. they are not supplements... they are food, so use them like that... I use them for cooking, not only as a shake)? In my opinion, it would be a mixture of whey protein isolate and casein protein (those being a higher concentration ones like 80%+)
This was a majorrrr help! Thank you so much for educating me!
You have a great voice and you explain things so clearly. Thank you!
Thanks Thomas! I've been using the orgain w/superfoods for a while now, thinking it was such a good product. I didn't realize how bad millet was! Switching to Orgain Simple from now on.
A Costco run (or amazon, vitamin shoppe, etc..) on the "6 supplements that every athlete should consider" video would be cool
Thank god Costco takes back everything, I just bought 4 bags of ON Whey!
ON Whey isolate I hope.
LOL I have issues with absorbing protein and need a lot of extra every day. Which means protein shakes and they can’t be plant based - have to be either whey or egg. That’s actually my go-to because the protein isn’t bad, I’m okay with sucralose and it tastes delicious which means I will actually drink it.
He Ok’d the ON Whey Isolate though?
What a helpful channel. Your knowledge of health reflects in your high amount of energy.
Always learning something from your videos!
Protein manufacturers are shaking in their boots when they see this in their TH-cam recommendations.
Not really. Not everybody can afford some ridiculous priced protein. Plenty of people use this stuff at the gym and look good.
you can make gains with the shit at walmart it may be amino spiked but it still has protein in it at the end of the day
@@Daniel-ii6rq Exactly. Or you could just eat tuna, eggs, and chicken. No big deal. Also as you said, the idea is just to get the protein in.
this video is fucking nonsense. "Scaffolding". May he should study biochemistry a little more.
I'd love to see a video from Vitamin Shoppe or GNC where there are many more varieties of powders. Thanks for all the great info, protein powders are a staple for me. Any opinions on Isopure?
Unfortunately, I don't believe that he will be allowed to film in the stores. But yes, that would be an awesome video.
I agree!!!
Always like these kind of videos. Thanks for the great content
Wow. I finally start learning about the ingredients in my food. I always wanted to, just didn’t know how. So thank you for such an easy and interesting way of teaching us all these mystery ingredients that we see so often in our food.
The orgain shakes are fantastic but specifically the plant based ones. Usually the fully plant based products taste worse but honestly the plant based orgain shakes taste way better than the milk ones and are much better for you. Also I am reading the ingredients on mine and it seems they no longer use rice bran but everything else is the same so looks like its been improved too. Theyre super tasty
ALL PLANTS ARE TOXIC POISON
NEVER EAT PLANTS PERIOD
Awesome walk through, I used to buy the gold standard protein blend one.. Oh to the old unknowing days...
Thanks for watching!
Long term fan of yours Thomas. I tried all the supplements you gave thumbs up too. Your keto book with kale, berries, etc. I fell off the wagon for about a year in a half. Had Keto fatigue for two weeks, during shakes consistently for a few months. I'm 57 years old, weigh almost 200 lbs. now. Right now doing fasting for a few days, feel clear-headed. My goal is to get to 170 lbs.
Great content. Your videos are always appreciated.
The Orgain simple organic peanut butter is my absolute favorite. Coconut sugar is a much better choice than regular sugar and “too much carbs” just really depends on your goals. Carbs are ultimately needed for protein absorption so if you are drinking it for a post workout protein than a lot of those proteins that have close to zero carbs won’t cut it.
Dr. Paul Saladino said we should avoid pea protein, which use followed your recommendation. According to him, because of the high arsenic level in pea and rice protein we should avoid them. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Many thanks!
Thanks a lot for the thorough info that you share! Learned a lot watching this video!
BRUH YOU THE MAN! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!
This is probably the longest YT video I’ve watched, but very educational. Made me take a step back & look. No more Premier Protein drinks for this girl 👍🏻
That stuff is like the Boone’s Farm of protein drinks!
Ramp up the playback speed like I did.
Thank you for this video, you have answers a lot of my question.
I was debating on the keto collagen and vital proteins brand.
I know which one to get now.
Thanks for watching!
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I always look forward to all your videos.
I enjoy watching them I always learn from them and I like sharing your videos to other people that have questions and are New to keto.
Keep up the good work!!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BABY GIRL!!
Your Wife looks beautiful pregnant 😊❤
the knowledge you have is incredible thank you
Thanks thomas ... Appreciate your sharing your knowledge 💯 i eill utilise this information
I swear I started seeing keto and collagen stuff start hitting stores after I started watching your channel
Miles Cunha of course you did. You were informed about it
I just watched this a few weeks ago and I always rewatch it over and over again to burn into my mind the ingredients so I become natural to seeing it on the labels...the dislikes are probably the companies because they are upset your blowing up their lies..lol... keep education going..
Thank you for making the videos , they are extremely helpful
Thomas, This is a splendid effort. This is a high quality video, Hats off Sir!
Hi Thomas. I’ve been adding the Orgain Protein and Superfoods to my morning smoothie for a couple years now. I notice you were not a fan of the millet used in their superfood complex, and I’m curious to know more about the anti nutrient effect you mentioned. I understand that it can decrease iodine in the body, but if the amount is negligible in the protein powder does it really have a noticeable effect? I’m wondering if I should stop using that particular protein now.
He also wasn’t a fan of the rice bran in them and put them both back on the shelf. I think he said the rice bran blocked the mineral absorption from the list of super foods in their ingredients. I’ve been using Orgain for many years and am now thinking about looking for an alternative having a history of thyroid issues in my family.
so to sum up, Isolate and Vital Proteins are the best choices for your money?
at the end would be nice if you listed to the top 3 or something.
No, they are not. A good quality whey concentrate (80 percent or more) is the way to go. Whey concentrate has some obvious health benefits like adding digestion and casein protein is good slow-release source of protein.
I agree. I think a quick summary of what he liked would have been good. He knows he is stuff but Talks SOOO much to drag out the video. Drives me crazy. Get to the point and tells us what is good or not.
Yeah, he loses me with all the scientific stuff
Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate, the first bag he placed in cart, is the best protein Costco carries.
Whey Protein concentrate is not the purest form of Whey and can be avoided.
@@joelfreis4254 ehhh I like that he's explaining why certain things are good or bad. Helps me to evaluate new products on my own. Thanks @Thomas DeLauer
Great show! The breakdown of whey powders was excellent. I learned a lot. Do more.
Thank you Thomas. Supreme content as usual. Thank you dropping easy to digest knowledge for the budget minded consumer. Much love.
I love that vital proteins collagen powder. The price is unbelievable. And I've seen such a major difference in my hair, skin, and nails.
Nice!
I hope to see those results.
They actually had the Vital protein collagen on sale a few weeks ago at $23.99. I wish I bought more!
Not using any shampoo will help also. Try using coconut oil, I am noticing just using MCT oil in my coffee, helps my hair.
63$$$$?!!!
I buy ISOPURE Protein Powder. Zero carb & 25 grams of protein in a scoop.
Where do you get it
I buy it off Amazon.
Adventures with Gnomie . I have isopure too. Hopefully it is a good one but since it only had two ingredients I thought I was safe! Lol.
What type of protein is it?
Although it contains soy lecithin! Everything has soy!!!
I loved your video as a mother of a teen Boys who are actively working out and doing activities knowing what’s the best product for them and that it’s good for them and not just grab anything that I see at the store so it was very educational and I loved it thanks
Also...explanation for the difference between concentrate and isolate: gold. Thank you!
24:21 The flavour of that particular powder is Peanut Butter Cup. so it just makes sense that they would use peanuts...
Whey protein concentrate and casein have only been found to be inflammatory in some individuals. It's unfair to claim that you should avoid it altogether, although yes, I would prefer a whey isolate or hydrolyzed isolate be the first listed ingredient to make up a larger portion of the powder. Looking at nutrient timing (Brad Shoenfeld, Bill Campbell, every credible researcher) blends have been found to be superior compared to taking whey isolate alone. Your body needs 20-40 grams of protein every few hours and blends are recommended because each protein type digests at a different rate, giving you multiple levels of absorption, casein itself digesting within 6-8 hours (making it the perfect before bed protein powder to fulfill muscle protein synthesis while we are asleep seeing as we cannot eat asleep!)
I think many studies have already debunk the need for protein every hour or so.We don't start breaking down our muscle till at lease the 48 hours mark
It’s recipe for diabetes
Thanks for the clarity man, the first powder that he bagged out (musclepharm) I use and believe me, it's a great versatile product, not everything said here is gospel
Bs af!
Angelo Fenix you should keep up to date with your studies mate. Something called a leucine threshold. And although overall protein intake is what you should focus on, consuming 20-40 grams of protein is shown to capitalize upon giving you what your body needs every few hours. Also something called MTOR. Look into it. Go watch someone credible like @Biolayne or Jeff Nippard. Even Dr Greg
Great Video. I've always been a label reader, you put me on to things I didn't know. Thank you.
Thank you for the insightful analysis of how certain ingredients work, don't work in isolation or in combination.
I see a lot of tapioca powers/starches, in "Keto" products. Is that a starch? What do you think of it? Thank You!!! Love your channel!!
I LOVE that Keto Orgain collagen stuff. I put it my coffee. Tastes like a mocha and gives me good energy for a long time.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I might try that, sounds good.
I mix it with sugar free almond milk and MCT oil, I make like a hot chocolate drink, tastes really good before bed.
Thank you, for sharing your knowledge 🙏
This video is so well explained, really helps alot thanks for such an awesome video.
My wife gets the Orgain lol. What about MuscleMilk? Also can you please review supplements maybe multivitamins, fish oil, green tea, etc.
Vital protein is awesome throw it in my black coffee every morning 🤟🏻
Nice
@J G Why? It has no flavor. No difference than adding a creamer.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial any concerns around the denaturation of whey protein in a heated drink like coffee?
Pretty smart & right straight to the point! i salute u sir!!
@thomas delauer , thank you and shout out for making this video....please make videos on complete body building or shredding guide videos....along with nutrition...what to eat...
Can you do more cooking at home videos? Please?
Reason: now that we are at Costco and we’ve purchased everything, we need to figure out how to make all this.
Thomas is a married man
Dymatize ISO is hands down easiest protein powder on my stomach , I don’t feel any bloating or indigestion.
The taste is great and it mixes easy. Thats why its the one I use.
Awesome breakdown review, all the very best.
Such an amazingly informative video. Should have watched this years ago.
There's no perfect protein out there, the best this would be food.
There is one it's from garden of life! No bad ingredients only one though lol
@@karenotcaring garden of life rice protein had arsenic and heavy metals reported in their product
Why don’t you save a lot of time and just say which is the best.
I love u... for making my life much more easier, shout put to u fr Jamaica. Being on this life style change & journey its already hard. So this helps a lot. Wat nxt cause u av me hooked.
You rock man! Always on point
Incorrect. Sucralose has been shown to 1. Not increase blood sugar levels, 2. Not be inflammatory, 3. Is not "toxic" like you claim. It is one of the safer and more common artificial sweetener used in 90% of the proteins in the market for a reason.
I did my senior thesis on this. 100% agree. As smart as this guy is, he needs an update on some of the more recent and popularly-accepted research.
@@ninjannn10 What about acesulfame potassium? I'm reading that it's only toxic in super large quantities.
Pussywhistle but yes in studies in mice they had to use large quantities in proportion to mice size (vs human size) the toxicity was shown only in long term chronic use. Ex: multiple uses a day, multiple days a week...
The problem with sucralose is that it changes your gut microbiome . It lowers your good freindly bacteria. Any health enthusiast already knows its not good for you . do some research N10FIT
213chrysler someone hasnt seen every meme regarding gut biome health in regards to artifical sweeteners. If you want the link to dozens of research hit me up. And yes, i do my research, as a certified researcher and certified-BS-Callout-er
Thanks Tom,
I just bought my boys the second brand in your review because they're both taking it. They are 16 and 19 and are actively working out. My youngest is training for football and at 5'10" he's bigger than his older brother. My wife and I just happened to be at Costco last weekend getting some almond flour and some other things. It wasn't supposed to be a lot but we always seem to spend no less than $200 every time we go there. What brand would you recommend? Not necessarily at Costco but anywhere it's available. Thank You in advance.
Frank M.
Thanks for actually sharing some really good information! More people need to be this thorough! *****
Great video! Thanks for all the helpful information 😊
