Thread: Fraudulant Claims?

I was just wondering is there is any test for detecting creatine, glutamine, taurine or any other free form amino acid in a protein powder?
Does addition of these free flowing amino acids in any protein powder RAISES the levels of protein per serving?
there is suspicion regarding some companies which not only passes al the label claims tests for "Protein per serving" but pass too brillaintly!
Nitrotech & Optimum both passes label claims tests. then how one can conclude that it is Muscletech which adds creatine ot push it's protein per serving content and not Optimum!

Well I am still not clear, perhaps it is the language barrier.

Does addition of Creatine (Cheap), Glutamine, Taurine (Cheap) or any other free form Amino Acid in Whey Protein Powders ups the protein per serving?

Yes, of course it would. But what is wrong with that?

If yes, are their any tests to confirm this?

Yes, you could test for this.


Secondly, why is that company exceed label claims? (Like ON's Whey, Prolab N-Large & Nitrotech)

I haven't heard of this, but if true, why do you care? In any event, I can think of several valid business reasons. It is much better, from everyone's perspective, to have a little more than a little less.

What makes you decisive that Nitro-Tech has creatine in it that is responsible for "Higher than Normal" protein per serving and ON's Whey & Prolab's N-Large not?

What makes who decisive? Who are you talking too?


Either you meet the label claims or you fail to meet the label claims.
There's nothing like Exceeding the Label Claims on True basis.

Why not? Are you saying having extra protein is tantamount to failing label claims? That is silly. Now if you have something in there that you don't disclose, that is not good.

I dont think there is any fool that declares "Less Than Actual" values on their label.

I know several companies that intentially overdose, just to be sure that you are getting what you paid for (or more).
