You know that you can get a simple 2.25kg tub of whey protein for around £30... add some creatine....500g for around £15. totals £45, which gives you a hell of a lot more for your money.
There is nothing special about maximuscle products! They are the same as any other product, except they choose to make them more expensive and hype themselves up.
With regards to HSN products, its probably not economically viable to import from the US. Bryan is working on getting a UK supplier (im looking forward to that) so if i were you i would just wait.
If you really do want give HSN products a go, 'primer' would be most similar to the protein powder you are using at the moment. Have one before WO, one after and then eat real food (a complete solid meal) within 1hour.
Regardless, you should take a look around at the protein supplemnet market in the UK.
