A few months ago somebody posted, wondering whether food would ever be available in a pill. It looks like a company is selling “Rifle” protein tablets.
Any thoughts and has anybody tried this?
If you need protein, may I suggest a nice filet mignon? At the most expensive restaurant you can find…
These tablets are a rip-off. You get 60 grams of protein in the whole bottle. The bottle costs $39.
A 8 ounce piece of steak has more protein.
The volume of protien would make for a prety huge pill to swallow. Either that or a whole bunch of small ones. either way, it doesn’t sound too good. I like shakes.

I looked them up. They contain a whopping TWO GRAMS of protein per serving. I know, my heart won’t stop racing either.
Oh, wait, that’s just gas…damned protein enriched pasta.
I agree with the others. Just an uber waste of money.

Thanks, but I eat on average a 10 oz piece of top round every day. Preferably under $3 per/pound.
I am just curious, because it is actually food in a pill !!!
Even if they were cheaper than protien shakes - who wants to pop tablets all day?
only need 50-100 tabs per day… lol

lol …
which is why they list it in “mg” … they do say that the grams are not important … it is about protein subfraction and some other things …
is this all junk science?

Actually, it takes a whopping FOUR pills to get the 2 grams of protein. In order to get my protein intake, I’d have to take 600+ pills per day!
How can you guys be so critical?
I personally am stoked to get my “8,000mg of peptide-bonded amino acids!!!”
Food occupies volume. There are limitations to how much you can cram protein molecules together.
