Possibly looking for a new Protein powder. I know there’s some out there that have lead in them and I’m trying to find one that doesn’t while also not being overly expensive. I use the Now sport whey isolate unflavored which is great but unsure if it’s clean or not. Don’t give a shite about flavor, just health

Antler Farms is the cleanest but it is expensive. I use Transparent Labs Isolate.

People don’t realize all the unhealthy shite that is in Dymatize, etc protein.

I use Dymatize. What’s so unhealthy about it?

It has emulsifiers, oils, ‘gums’, soy lecithin, sucralose, artificial flavors and colors that are horrible for you. It’s garbage.

I use ON Gold Standard. No clue how clean it is. I assume their manufacturing process is sanitized.

I like Gainful. I have a specific no taste blend based on what I want.

57.2% Whey Isolate
33.8% Whey Concentrate
7.4% flavor boost. (These are individual packs added)
1.5% Green Tea Extract

Correct answer. If you want the most tested and purest product, true nutrition will be it.

There is nobody else in the industry that comes close to doing as much testing as they do.

yeah a lot of the popular brands have way too many sugar substitutes and additives especially with their wacky flavors. I just want unflavored and minimal shite in the ingredients. Don’t care how it tastes. I’ve used Now Sports unflavored Whey but I read there may be lead and shite in it but not 100% sure.

Just looked on their website. They use Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Modified Food Starch, Silicon Dioxide, Maltodextrin, lecithin, artificial flavors and colors in their protein. It’s garbage.

A) you are being a dumbass to begin with. overall macros matter 1000000x more than anything else.

B) you cant read. they dont use anything but whey isolate & Lecithin which is a by product of the isolate process and in every isolate.

C) its 3rd party tested to ensure their are no contaminants.

if you dont want those things in there, you will have to go unflavored. good luck with that long term.

i swear some of yall are so dense and can not see the forest through the trees and always majoring in the minors.

not for me. I prefer to not have “natural flavors” and sugar substitutes in my shite. Which is why I go unflavored.

Not when they are at the expense of harmful chemicals.

Seems YOU can't read. I copied and pasted that straight off their website on Isolate page.
quote:

Just about every brand does this. It is meaningless. 'Contaminants' is a play on words just like 'organic', 'grass fed', and 'free range' are. Without actual context these words mean diddly shite. What I listed are NOT contaminants so they wouldn't show up anyway they are ADDITIVES that are fricking awful for you.

No, I will just go with a far superior product like Antler Farms or even Transparent Labs.

You are out of your lane here. You don't have a fricking clue what you are talking about. Their products are all loaded with harmful chemicals and additives. They are shite. I don't care how many times they 'test' a product for something they aren't even looking for. DO you understand this?

98% of Protein Powders are loaded with absolutely awful artificial chemicals, dyes, artificial colors, artificial flavoring, and a host of other shite that wreaks havoc on your body. I'm simply letting you know that.
