Im trying to save a few £££'s by mixing my own pre- and post-workout supplements from whey, casein, flax, dextrose and maltodextrin.
Ive decided upon a mix of whey and maltodextrin pre-workout, and whey, casein, flax and dextrose post-workout. Would this be ideal?
Im getting dextrose and maltodextrin from a homebrew shop near me, and I bulk buy whey from www.vydex.co.uk which works out nearly half the price of a WPC in the shops (£20 for 5lb tub). Flax is coming from a high street store.
I still need a good cheap supply of casein. Does anyone know where I can buy cheap casein in the UK? (Caseinate will do if its loads cheaper than micellar). Ive looked at importing it from the US via the protein factory, but after import duty, postage and VAT it ends up no cheaper than it is here!
You guys in the US have got it so easy when it comes to protein and supplements!! Protein costs a fortune here in the UK (and not just the supplements) - the cheapest you can find fresh chicken breast fillets in the supermarket is about £6/kilo (~$4.50/lb). Its so not fair!!
