Syntha-6 Extended Release Protein Blend is formulated with fast, medium and slow digesting proteins to sustain amino acid levels over a long interval, while increasing protein synthesis, and repairing damaged muscle tissue. Its protein matrix consists of ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate, Micellar alpha and beta case-ins, micro-filtered WPI, egg albumen, calcium caseinate, and milk protein concentrate.
This is easily the best tasting, best mixing stuff I've used. Unlike Cytosport's Musclemilk which is like drinking milk with some sand mixed in. I have tried Cookies and Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream so far.

when to take....
its good but i only take this at night because its extended release.....if ur gonna take it upon rising thats good too but for post workout take an isolate instead because the reason why its a blend is so it wont digest too fast but when ur done working out you need something that digests really fast so if u do buy this u might also wanna get some kind of isolate...

Syntha 6 drinks
The vanilla ice cream is awesome. I mix mine with 8 oz. of Orange Juice and some ice and blend. It tastes like a dreamcicle. Use any juice to blend the flavor based on the results you are looking for.
I don't mind the extra 24g of carbs with the juice and my overall diet plan allows this replacement twice a day. It is the best tasting replacement I have found. I do wish it had a little more protein.

Not Bad- could use some advice though
I just started to use this product and it actually tastes pretty good, as long as it is not taken with water. I could use some advice on usage and when to take it though.

BSN is the by far the best
ever since I started to take syntha 6 stacked with n.o. explode i cannot believe my eyes nor can my wife. I do notice that I am a bit more moody but i'll take it if the result is tremendous gains and amazing muscle growth. Thanks BSN for making a product well worth it's money.

taste.. taste... taste!
if you're like me, you have cans of protein powder sitting around; half empty, few scoops left... never to be used again.
why? because the taste is so awful or you get sick of it and never want to drink it again.
well those days are over my friends!
Syntha 6 is far and away the BEST tasting protein powder ever made!
i actually crave it throughout the day... its like a mini snack.
chocolate is really good, strawberry is fantastic.. i'm going to try cinnamon roll or vanilla next.
in terms of protein, it does its job and makes me feel harder and more pumped throughout the day.
i love this product, for me, its the taste that i can never get sick of and want to drink... and that has never been the case with protein before.

BSN
i am stacking syntha 6 with nitrix, NOXplode, and axis HT. my strength gains are the best they've been in 4 years. i went from a decent 190 to a solid and cut 197 in 2 weeks, and am on week 3 now with better strength and same weight: i'm sure the weight gain would be more, but i have a steady cardio routine so it diminishes the anarobic effects. i'm 6'2" with very long arms and have never benched over 200 lbs until last week (200-1 rep) the taste of syntha 6 cannot be matched by anything other than an old fashion milk shake (maybe muscle milk but that is loaded with fat!) the NOXplode keeps me angrily focussed and gives me the mindset to crank out those last 2 painful reps! nitrix is giving me that pumped look all day as advertised (all my skin is tightening, looks/feels a little dry too) and the axis HT is definitely making all my muscles much harder and my gf loves it. i crave the gym all day until i am there, and anticipate the next day when i leave. my body was not expecting this sudden increase in testosterone and i need to get used to it. i have been a bit more grumpy than usual the past 1.5 week, but also more witty with comebacks. you get what you pay for and BSN is the only company who will get my $

Great tase
I've just tried a couple flavors as they came as a trial pack in a package on No-Xplode. Based on flavor alone, this rocks. I;ve tried the Choc, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla. To me, vanilla wins hands down. I;ve tried a few different protien mixes/shakes, and you cant beat the flavor. Mixed w/ skim milk you'd think you got a milkshake from McDonalds.
I cant speak to gains as I just started, but if I get 1/2 of what other people see its worth the cost. To me, you cant put a price on a great tasting shake, and I'm willing to pay to not have to choke down a disgusting shake.

I take this 1 scoop before workout 30 mins, then 2 scoops before bed. If I take 2 scoops in the morning I get the shits. So I take muscle milk in the morning 2 scoops. Great taste and mixes very well.

great product
This really is one of the best tasting proteins I've tasted and I mix my protein with water. I'm only giving this a 4 out of 5 because, for people who have trouble keeping fat off or who train late in the evening this product is no good. Too many calories and carbs and this product wastes fast(huge scoops). For morning or afternoon workouts this is a good product. For evening or late night workouts I suggest ON 100% gold whey protein. I use 1 scoop and a half of ON, mix with 400 ml of water(tastes good) 3 times a day. Gives me 30g of protein and I waste a 10 lbs bag give or take, a month and a half.

BSN rocks to party, that rocks the body
There are several really good blended proteins available. I have tried almost of all of them. I put some statistics back to back with the other proteins and the proteins of BSN.
We all know that the best way to judge a product is to see what your body tells you about and unfortunately that can take some time. I had the time and resources to check this protein out and compare it to others. In case you are wondering, I had a top notch work out program in use as well(muscles don't grown on protein alone).
Here are the things I found -
First, TASTE: They went out of their way to make this taste better than anything available.
Second, MIX: BSN has done a good job with creating supplements that mix very well with little effort.
Third, DIGESTION: Not one complication with my "pipes".
And Lastly, RESULTS: When it came right down to it...I gained better LEAN mass than any other protein I have ever used in the past ten years.
OVERALL, I feel that someone needs to give BSN a medal for saving us all from getting jipped by other companies...They are top notch and I will spend my money on nothing but BSN supplements because of how effective their products actually are...BSN products come at premium cost, but to me, it is worth it all the way

Syntha 6
A Great product...but whats up with all the cholesterol the content is extremely high 60 mg per scoop I was using two scoops a day 120 mg thats almost half your daily intake...so be careful with this stuff...check out muscle milk light only 5 mg of cholesterol...add a scoop of dymatize elite whey isolate and your at about 50 grams of protein and 7 mg of cholesterol.

Best protein out there
It has a great taste, blends great, great results. What's not so great is that the 2.9 pound container gets used up in no more than 2 weeks with recommended use. For almost 40 USD, that's not the best deal. So to make things short:
PROS: Great taste, blends easily, works effectively
CONS: Costs alot and you use it up fast even with minimum use.

Taste vs Cost
The Vanilla flavour is the best tasting protein I have ever had however with 20g protein per scoop (and we looking at big scoops) you burn through the bottle as quick as your cash. SUGGESTION to save money use one scoop BSN Vanilla and add one scoop Reg Vanilla whey protein that way you get in about 40g-50g protein for twice as long. Whey protein is plenty cheaper.

Great protein...One problem
Great protein, blends very good, tastes great. The only problem is the size of a serving (much bigger than other protein powders). you'll burn through a 2.9 pound container in less than a month with moderate use. Personally I say buy a 5 pound or 10 pound container of ON %100 Gold Standard and save yourself some major bucks

BSN's SYNTHA-6 Protein
I have used many different types of protein supplements in the past and got tired of seeing no results, not to mention the horrible aftertastes I experienced. Then I decided to take Syntha-6. I choose to purchase the vanilla ice cream flavor.I take syntha-6 post workout. First of all actually tasted kinda like vanilla ice cream, and it had no bad aftertaste. Plus I have gotten great results, I gained about 5 pounds of lean muscle in less than 4 weeks. I love this product, and recommend it to evryone.
