How to get BlenderBottle for 0.4$

How to get BlenderBottle for 0.4$


If you reading on this Blog for a while you will see that i don't write B.S to get visitor and i'm not a paid scum that say fake reviews. All what you read on this Blog is 100% REAL and tested by myself.


Well, here is how i got the "historic BlenderBottle" for less than half dollar. first the BlenderBottle is no more than a regular shaker with a twisted wire inside, in fact it is less than a regular shaker because it lacks the filter that prevent you from swallowing unmixed powder.

What we need is :

1- Regular shaker: i assume you already have a shaker, if you don't try to get one as a gift when you buy your supplement or buy a cheap one for like 1-3 dollars.

 I got mine as gift when i bought a cheap Mass Gainer, unfortunately this store is for Persian Gulf countries only. but i guess there many offers in the US.


2- 0.4$ for the Mixing Ball:  however, you can't buy only 1 Ball and get it shipped. the minimum order is 2 balls billed at 0.91$ (Free shipping)

i bough mine from china through Aliexpress.com for 0.91$ all included, the price is amazing with free international shipping, but the delivery time is no less than 40 days ! but if the item is stored in the US then expect it within 3 days i guess.  just open the website and look for Stainless steel mixing Ball. try to look on amazon and ebay and others, compare the prices, shipping ...etc 




Conclusion : from my opinion, buying a shaker for 20$ isn't so smart if you can get it for far less. However, this mixing Ball doesn't offer ANYTHING over the regular shaker unless you have 1 lbs of weight gainer in the shaker, the ball wont offer anything other than ugly noise.

MusclePharm caught red handed, Amino spiking charged



MusclePharm the 110 Millions company has been been accused of cheating their costumers through a process known as "Amino Spiking" or "Protein Spiking".

How it works?

The evil company seek to maximize it's benefit and minimize the expenses. taking an honest competition is not a choice better just cheat and lie to the unprotected costumer by filling the 5lbs tubes with free Aminos, Creatine Monohydrates, glutamin and anything cheap but the whey protein since the whey costs 6USD for pound and aminos costs less than 1$ for pound. the added aminos are labeled as protein.

Breaking the law

“FDA requires that dietary supplements be labeled in a manner that is truthful and not misleading. With regard to the labeling of protein content, FDA’s expectation for proper nutrition labeling is that firms will evaluate the protein content from actual protein sources—not other nitrogen-containing ingredients such as individual amino acids—and label the products consistent with the results of such evaluations,”  FDA press officer Jennifer Dooren.

however, don't expect the FDA to protect you and lawsuit the company. this is where law firms came to scene. backed by confirmed lab tests "Ram, Olson, Cereghino & Kopczynski" sued MusclePharm in California federal court. the Laboratory tests revealed that MusclePharm products contain less than half of the claimed protein content!

“I believe it is a pretty simple, cut and dry issue: We allege in these lawsuits that these companies use misleading language on the label regarding the amount of actual protein in the products, and the consumers are the ones that pay. That’s the bottom line,” says Nick Suciu, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs on many of the lawsuits. “I began developing the cases because customers have been misled by this practice for years.”

By then Nothing happens!

sorry to disappoint you but the case was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs, indicating the parties likely reached an out-of-court agreement. Neither company provided comment.


Guilty

the composition of a dietary supplement can be revealed through a simple laboratory test thereby  musclepharm could easily defend its products in court but the company choose to "resolve" it out of court what can be a strong proof that the company is guilty.

Protein companies dirty tricks

As everybody knows FDA does not require supplements companies to conduct a pre-selling test to check the safety and effectiveness of the products, to make things much worst FDA does not confirm the Label Claims. What does that means? You can literally sell sugar in a tube labeled 80% whey isolate (it actually happened…). In the following I will reveal some dirty tricks used by dirty companies to fool and cheat costumers.
The tricks are divided into two categories. “Legal tricks” that exploit the Inattention and trust of the costumers and illegal tricks that take advantage of the unenforced laws. I will starts from easy to spot trick to deadly ones.


Cheap filling, this is most common in mass gainers but also exist between protein powders in other forms. to achieve the 5 lbs weight some manufacturers desperately add anything but what you really need. 
Those are two weight gainers of the same category, the 5lbs tube of Gain Fast contains 770g of sugars! Almost 1lbs.

 Most Bodybuilders blend oats with gainers to add more calories. MHP, however, already added oats to the gainer.


Proprietary blends Proprietary blends and the hidden ratios of proteins is a major problem among almost all brands. Manufacturers say it’s protect their original blends from being copied. Any Lab, However, can reveal the real ratios, so the proprietary blends are not against other companies it’s just a way to make more money since whey isolate costs about 7.5$ per Kg while the whey concentrate is under 2$ per Kg.


Amino Spiking: this is the most evil trick ever done. Like the whey concentrate isn’t cheap enough some companies add amino acids to their protein powders to achieve their promised Protein content. You may ask yourself why they would do that, well the amino acids costs 1$ less and since the protein content is checked through measuring Nitrogen Content, a simple Lab Test can’t tell the Aminos from the whey.

Fake Reviews: reviews play an important role in the buyer’s decision, the supplements manufacturers understood so and worked hard to launch a large scale fake reviews campaign. Everyday supp companies hire more and more scums through freelancer.com and upwork.com to post fake reviews on every possible website, from Youtube to bodybuilding.com paid scums all around.

Fake Studies:  this a good point, manufacturers tend to quote a study that backs their formulas. Some formulas, however, already proven ineffective. This is where the company has to fund a study that claims otherwise!

Fake Labels: You may think this is common among unpopular cheap brands and you are safe as long you stick with well-known products, this is absolutely wrong. here i quote from consumerlab.com and labdoor.com two trusted labs.

Misleadings Labels: the regulation is that main ingredient must be stated first then the second and so on. so if a product contains 50% whey concentrate, 40% soy protein and 10% whey isolate the must looks like Protein Blend (Whey concentrate, soy protein, whey isolate). some supp companies, however, like to mention the whey isolate first then whey concentrate and put the soy down between artificial flavors to mislead the buyer.
