SYNTHA-6 EDGE FORMULA & DOSAGE
BSN Syntha-6 Edge uses a unique 6-type blend of protein per serve. The 6 types are:
Whey Protein Concentrate:- naturally rich in amino acids, particularly Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) which are important for optimal muscle growth.
Whey Protein Isolate:- One of the purest forms of protein on the market, with high levels of protein and lower levels of fats, carbohydrates and sodium
Hydrolyzed Whey Protein:- An ultra pure form of whey protein. This is a pre-digested form of lean protein. This produces much smaller protein particles called peptides which are easily absorbed in the body
Calcium Caseinate:- One of several milk proteins derived from casein in skim and 1% milk BSN syntha-6 protein review
Micellar Casein:- The highest grade of casein available, and it feeds your body a steady stream of muscle-building amino acids over the course of many hours. Casein is especially helpful if you have a protein shake before bed, as it aids in important muscle recovery during your sleep and prevents muscle breakdown.
Milk Protein Concentrate:- Has a similar ratio of casein and whey protein to the ratio found naturally in milk. 80% casein to 20% whey. Because it contains much more casein than whey, milk protein isolate is slow to digest, like casein.
Syntha-6 edge is currently available in 26 Serve, 45 Serve or 100 serve tubs that contain 38 gram serves. Each of which contains 24g of protein and only 6 of carbs, 3.5g of fat. With only 150 calories. A very optimal ratio given the several types of protein sources. Keeping it high protein and low carbs & fat.

FLAVOURS & MIX-ABILITY
Ok if there’s one thing that makes this protein a standout over the years is due to the fact that all the flavours are Milkshake inspired with taste & texture!
So if you love your milkshakes like us but want a healthier alternative BSN has got it covered with this one! Syntha-6 is currently available in:
Banana Milkshake, Chocolate Milkshake, Cookies n Cream, Salted Caramel & Vanilla Milkshake
Now as self dubbed ‘vanilla freaks’, we can’t go past the Vanilla Milkshake flavour. But we currently have a Banana Milkshake tub open & even mixing it up in just water it’s AMAZING!
Yes we know what you’re thinking, Vanilla & Banana… Basic Bitch over here. But no matter what your preference of flavour. You’ll be addicted too!
When it comes to mix-ability this is perfect, it mixes thick and without any issues. Works great as a stand alone shake, in smoothies but also its the BEST choice for protein oats!
HOW/WHEN TO USE SYNTHA-6 EDGE?
We wouldn’t necessarily say there is a ‘best’ time to take this blend. It will all depend on your goal. So if you want something delicious for oats & smoothies, use it then. If you want to curb cravings at night, take it night. If you want a post workout shake dense with protein for muscle building, here is your time to shine.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you’re looking to build muscle, boost recovery, curb cravings with a healthy meal replacement or just on a budget, we recommend giving BSN Syntha-6 a try. If you are sensitive to lactose/dairy we would urge on the side of caution depending on how severe your lactose issues are if not steer clear from this one altogether. But if you can stomach dairy fine there really isn’t a single reason not to be using this protein! BSN syntha-6 protein review
