Honestly, I think it's time for me to bid farewell to Optimum Nutrition. Paying 9k for something that's now made locally just seems crazy. A few months back, I could've gotten imported quality protein for less than this. Now we're paying premium prices for what feels like really low-quality stuff. I've been loyal to this brand for almost 10 years, but at this point, it just doesn't make sense. Loyalty is one thing, but value matters more. Maybe it's time to switch to something that gives better value for money!

Guys, seriously, stop buying this. They used to sell the imported version for less than this amount. You're better off buying Dymatize Elite for less than this price.

Varun

If price isn't an issue, which one is the best?

I switched from ON a long time ago because they started manufacturing in India. The quality difference is pretty noticeable. Only someone who's experienced can tell you that the Indian whey market is not great and they're all taking us for a ride.

Can't tell what comments are genuine and what's paid PR, but I've heard good things about Dymatize. I'm just really critical of all these brands.

I bought 5lbs for 5.5K - it was an Instamart glitch, but I got the deal!

I mean, proteins were supposed to get cheaper after GST 2.0. There were some good discounts earlier, but now it seems like greed has taken over again.

Now that we have so many options available, choose what's the most value for money

Bro, what's going on? 9k? It was 7.2k last December. Isopure was 9.5k for 2kg. What's happening? Is it made of gold or something?

Pillai

I think they increased ON prices a while ago. This same thing used to be 7k around that time.

Preeti

What are you guys switching to?
