I've been using the Gold Standard from mass119.com, but they just jacked up the prices.

Any other recommendations for a good protein available in Korea? Thanks

(by good I mean decent-high quality for a reasonable price)

I saw some guy selling the big container of Gold Standard in Namdaemun..He was asking 60K, so would probably sell it for 50-55k...

Egg whites.

You can add the really soft tofu (called sondubu) to your shakes to increase the protein content. I imagine it would not be enough protein, but it would be a cheaper source.

10 pounds for 89,000 won is fairly decent. Bodybuilding.com sells it for $79.99.

It's not super cheap, but it's the best deal you may get here. If the price went up here, it probably went up in the U.S. too since the current price difference is not that big.

EDIT: I think I am seeing it on sale for 57,000 now at mass119.com compared to the bodybuilding price. Get it while it's hot. [/url]

For some strange reason, other flavors are 85,000 won, but the 10 pound bag of rocky road is only 57,000 won. if you enter the word 'gold standard' into the search box, click on the second 'gold standard' recommendation.

I understand that boendeggi has the highest protein count of any food and it did keep people alive and healthy back in the days when Korea was very poor and no one knew where their next bite to eat was coming from. This is why it's a tradition. I got this information from an ajumma who has lived in the states for the past 40 years, but grew up in Korea and she was the sweetest ajumma I've met. People today, including foreigners, still eat this free and natural source of protein, but I'm a little too picky to fancy the boiled silk work larvae.

Isn't there a GNC and other stores selling supplements such as those big containers of protein and bottles of vitamins and herbs? I haven't seen anything like that, but we need an endless supply of supplements like we have in America.
