Whey protein shakes for muscle building

Question
Hi, I'm working out right now and i just want to know which protein shake i should get or which one you would recommend. My goal is to gain muscle mass and endurance. But right now i am concerned with which protein shake i should get.

The two i have on mind right now is 100% whey protein from GNC. And the other one is called ISOPURE LOW CARB WHEY PROTEIN. I heard from a lot of people that ISOPURE LOW CARB WHEY PROTEIN is the best out there. I know that there are other brands out there such as muscle milk or myoplex. But i am very interested in the ISOPURE. I just want to know if there is any bad side to it?

ALso i heard that creatine that comes in protein drinks or any creatine supplements are bad for you is this true? and how is this bad for you?

Which protein shake would you recommend? Also maybe if you could... one that helps me gain a little weight? lol. I am kind of skinny. I just started working out.

thanks

Answer
Danny,

Since the Isopure product contains no fat, lactose, carbohydrates or aspartame, it's only bad side to it I can think of is that it's not "live food" so if you rely on it too much, you can easily miss important nutrients that add value to, for example, diary, such as probiotics or essential fats including CLA.

As to the difference between the two brands you've mentioned, Myoplex has soy-protein isolate that the Isopure whey protein doesn't have.
