Welcome to JKremmer Fitness – your source for science-backed protein reviews, weight loss strategies, and online fitness coach. Based in La Crosse, WI, I test, verify, and simplify the fitness industry one scoop at a time.
Latest Protein Review
I self-proclaimed myself on YouTube as the “Protein Review Guy” and you’re probably not looking for an online personal trainer. You’ve come to the right place for unbiased protein reviews. Here’s the list of my recent reviews. Thanks for visiting.
- FlavCity Protein Powder Review: Is This $60 Shake Really Worth It?
FlavCity Protein Powder Review verdict: this is a convenient, smoothie-style health shake that leans on clean-label readability, solid drinkability, and clearly disclosed collagen. But it’s still a premium-priced buy with a thin proof layer. There’s no amino acid profile to verify leucine/BCAA yield, no batch-linked COAs to audit, and the Prop 65 messaging lives on the website, not the bag. If you’re buying for verified quality and transparency, it’s a questionable purchase. - Kirkland Signature Whey Protein Powder Review: Great Value, Missing Receipts
If you’re buying Costco protein for the price and convenience, the value is real, but the verification isn’t. The label looks clean, mixability is legitimately strong, and one scoop works like a normal daily driver whey. The issue is receipts: no public amino acid profile, leucine stays proprietary, and Kirkland wouldn’t provide a COA, heavy metals results, or manufacturer disclosure when asked. That makes Costco protein a trust-based purchase, not a proof-based one. The return policy safety net is what keeps Costco protein in the conversation, not transparency. - Heart and Soil vs Promix — Which Protein Powder Is Better?
Heart and Soil vs Promix compares two grass-fed whey proteins that look similar on the label but differ in execution. This breakdown cuts through marketing to examine protein integrity, testing transparency, amino acid credibility, pricing, and daily-use risk so you can decide which brand actually earns your trust. - PEScience vs Syntha-6 Protein: Protein Supplement or Meal Replacement?
PEScience vs Syntha-6 Protein isn’t a battle of taste—it’s a clash of purpose. Syntha-6 behaves like real food, delivering calories, fiber, and fullness. PEScience drinks lighter, fits better into muscle-focused routines, and prioritizes flavor over satiety. Same price tier, very different jobs. - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Review: Same Protein, Different Formula?

Starting Your Fitness Journey
Everyone wants to “start Monday,” but very few actually make it past week three. My approach strips out the gimmicks: no 30-day cleanses or “quick-burn” promises.
