muscle99 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I regularly watch the hodgetwins YouTube videos. They were saying that some protein powders don't have any where near the amount of protein stated on the package per serving. Anyone heard of this before or know what products are dodgy?

BeastBuilder Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Some brands got caught out for "Amino Spiking" which is basically adding cheaper amino acids to the protein powder which count towards the protein content on the label through nitrogen testing but obviously your body doesn't process or use them the same as proper protein. Some by as much as 60% of the claimed content on the label. Inner Armour and Giant Sports are two brands that got caught out that spring to mind off the top of my head.

I remember this scandal a while back and most of the companies that got called out were the top shelf american ones like gold standard, musclepharm etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm talking horleys, bsc, balance etc. gold standard is one of the cheapest proteins round, don't you look at xtreme website. Wouldn't trust it tho, prob expired. muscle99 and Georg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigken1985 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I heard Gaspari got caught out big time and it sent him broke and he had to sell the company. He said because the fda allowed it that's why he did it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
