Guys! A Redditor just finished lab tests on a bunch of protein powder brands!

[RobotDeathSquad]

The guy made a post about how he tested protein powders to make sure they actually contain the protein claimed on the label. Here is the online spreadsheet

Discuss.

[BabySuaz]

[Rinpoche]

[RobotDeathSquad]

Sorry, am I the only one reading this right? The best one tested scored only a 90% compliance to claim?

yeah its six star. but now that i look at the spreadsheet more carefully, it says 78% protein claimed which I don't quite understand because on my container the per serving is 30g of protein for me.

Yes. I remember a miscer even making a thread about doubting whey protein because its not regulated at all.

Yeah it means 78% of that serving is protein.

That's what I've been using for years lol. Maybe I should just skip it and drink more milk instead.

I think most food product labels are only accurate to a 10% approximation so depending on how many samples the dude tested that isn't horrible.

[aaron416]

... well phuck.

[cole_bauman]

American Whey has almost no protein whatsoever? lulz, what a sham.

[MattySinz]

six star ranks kinda low which sucks cause ive been penny pinching and taking it, unless im reading the table wrong. six star claims 60g per serving...hell even if im only getting half that 30g aint that bad doe

[Hawk20]

American Pure Whey of peace.

1% of the protein they claim.

brb drinking powdered sugar trying to get swole

[PrimusPalus]

ON Gold Standard... yeah buddy. But in all fairness... he's receiving samples from people and not checking the product first hand. Who knows what's being sent, or if settling was an issue.

[farvacola]

I am phucking pissed about myofusion, I demand Rich Gaspari's head.

[SwaggyTime]

WTF @ myofusion..notsureifsrs...

[RobotDeathSquad]

American Whey has almost no protein whatsoever? lulz, what a sham.

Actually, that brand is what made the guy go and test the brands. He was suspicious of it's low price, bad website, and shady customer service.

[jtraininsane]

it's reassuring that Costco's cheap, good tasting protein is truthful enough in a non regulated industry. (Kaizen @ 80%)

I'm either buying ON or Kaizen now. Perhaps NOW foods as well, because I've always like their products.
