I appreciate that this is 'Merica but the issue of powders not containing what they say seems pretty universal. There's a whole raft of top lifters, strongmen, bodybuilders who dont seem to bother too much with powders seems to be increasing. Vince Urbank put a post of his, frankly reduncleous, back and a comment about eating 3lbs of beef a day. Jon Anderson, strongman and pro wrestler was talking about eating a similar amount of meat daily. Intredasting | ||

Optimum Nutrition seem like the only one that rivals them on their whey, but when you consider the price difference... | ||

 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | Also probably worth a mention that this was myprotein impact whey, and not the fancy isolate. I think it was also the flavoured version. There is only so much protein content possible, its not supposed to be "pure". | ||

Agreed - but how many people base their protein purchases on macro levels, which are way (whey) off | ||

I think it was also the flavoured version. There is only so much protein content possible, its not supposed to be "pure". But it should be fairly close to the levels quoted - in many of these cases it's not, even slightly. There are many analogies that I could make - but you buy protein powder for ..... protein . If it's not got much in it then you've been ripped off. | ||

 tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | No way of knowing if that "Study" is accurate. Could be totally made up for all we know - much like the quoted protein content of any powder. | ||

 Member 4865, 240 posts | One would be naive to think that any protein shake contains 80% as usually stated on the label which is why one's protein eggs should not be contained in a single protein shake basket.  | ||

Member 4865, 240 posts | Post Edited: 23.01.2014 @ 19:50 PM by bcrusher I won't mention where I got my last protein from but it had the taste of gum esp when mixing with cereals. Yet the company involved could have a certificate of "batch tested protein" that looks legit.When I looked up different proteins online I discovered that some have not one type of gum but three! I'm not a food technologist so forgive me if I'm mistaken but if the protein contains something like so Vanilla: Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Fructose, Inulin (Chicory Root Extract), Erythritol, Vanilla Flavor, Soy Lecithin, Gums (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan), Salt, Cream Flavor, Sodium Ascorbate, Rebiana (Rebaudioside A). We must be looking at low % protein with all those "fillers". | ||
