Do protien powders really help?

I find this comment interesting. The packaging of my protein supp says 30g of protein per scoop. Would there be any way to test whether this true or not?

Some companies go through USP testing. I have seen that quite a bit on vitamins from Costco. Never seen it on protein though.

Companies many times will advertise "25 grams per serving". And in fact the serving contains 25 grams, much of it is not protein though. Not sure how to test. I would start by looking at the manufacturers website.

This is incorrect. The vast majority of most powders is protein still. They add compounds that spike the nitrogen content of the product to falsely raise but protein amount but this only accounts for maybe 10-15% of the total protein content. Also if the manufacturer is going to go through with this I doubt their own website is going to advertise it.

Clearly I was not saying to look at manufactures websites to see who is using fillers and mislabeling. I was saying go and see who uses what 3rd party testing methods to ensure purity..........

and you are very off with your 85-90% purity. Again though, you can carry on as you are or you are welcome to do your own research......

You can check reddit where somebody did tests on several different manufacturers. I've done my research thank you, have you? Or you can keep making baseless claims without a shred of detail or evidence to support anything....
