I don't like synthetic stuff generally either, though I'm not against using them when there aren't any ill effects...
There *IS* protein powder without ANY synthetic additives though. NOW Whey Isolate "Natural" flavor. It's literally just whey isolate and lecithin.
The only problem I have with it is that it isn't quite completely balanced. It's missing some Methionine, Cystine, and Histidine to have a completely balanced amino acid profile... It's not completely missing those amino's, they're just low.
If you mix it with stuff with a sufficiently high amount of those then you can make it a complete protein... FOR ME, trying to CUT, that's hard... but for you... trying to bulk up... there's LOTS of ways to get that.
