Impossible’s ‘Alternative Pork’ Is Just the Latest Entry in the Fake Meat Boom | Eater SF
"I found Air Protein’s claims striking: the Berkeley-based company says it creates a protein powder from carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen in the air using microbial fermentation and fortifies it with vitamins including B12. CEO Lisa Dyson describes the “probiotic production process” as similar to the chemical changes in yogurt or beer; the end product is currently a neutral-tasting powder that can be used to make mock meats like beef or chicken or to fortify pastas and shakes. Its November press release struck some as a prank, but the Good Food Institute’s Liz Specht explains it’s the result of microbial fermentation, and Dyson told Food Dive in December that she expected Air Protein products to launch sometime this year — though they aren’t in restaurants or stores yet." - Eve Batey

There are a few reasons I continue to come here.
1.) Customer service:
The guys are very helpful in their selections and knowledgable. They know the reasons I should be buying any given product. They are also friendly and patient.
2.) Inventory:
Im one of those guys who needs to research online before I buy something. I want the best of the best. They sell the best products. It saves me time because all I have to do is walk in, ask a few questions and walk out with quality supplements. They are trustworthy.
3.) No need to wait for shipping.
4.) Cool rewards program. Ive been in the store 4 times and so far:
-Free shaker cup
-Two $15 off coupons
I like to just go in, tell them what im doing, walk out with some 2lb batches of new protein and explore.
Great spot to do it.
Note: They cant sell Ghost products but I personally don't like them anyway. They put me on Protizyme and I swear by it.

This place was one of my sweetest finds ever. Met some fantastic knowledgeable young men, and I also made a good friend. I recommend SizeUp Berkley to all my friends, and clients, and I recommend them to you, if you’ve yet to go and check them out yet!

Hands down the best supplement shop around. Theyre friendly, very knowledgeable, have personal experience with most of the products and are always good for a great recommendation. The staff are all fitness lifestyle dudes and care about what theyre selling you. As someone who has been lifting for about 20 years, I can say this is the best business of its type this area has ever had. Also, the prices are very good as well. Huge shout outs to Alex and Nick. I always feel welcome and I am genuinely happy to see whoever is working

I love this place, it's a small franchise so they keep it super real. They have a wide range of products; proteins, BCAA's, fat burners, protein bars, drinks, pre's. Also they do deals fairly often so that's always great when you are able to save money. They also give free samples out a lot which is cool.

It's located in a strip, but there's a free parking lot in the back for an hour. Plenty of parking spaces.
Super friendly and helpful. Easy to find what you need. This location carries some brands the other ones don't.
