    Interesting list, although I'm not really into supplements the positions on the table are surprising for some brands.

    Came across this. Worth a gander.

    https://labdoor.com/category?category=protein

    If you click into a particular product and look at where they checked the protein content "per serving", they never seem to even be comparing like with like. They keep saying the mean amount is 32g but take 1 scoops or sometimes 3 scoops of the product to see how much protein there is against the 32g, in some products they even mention cartons instead of scoops but still refer back to the avg 32g with no "per 50g" standard or whatever. Unless I'm misunderstanding. It's presented unclearly, at best anyway.

    Man, I'd say you could get all kinds of lucrative offers from certain companies with vested interests if you ran an ongoing, popular 'leaderboard' of supplements. and that is why I'll always take lots of hidden sodium with any 'findings' like these.

    The project started on reddit a while back where one guy got samples sent in and ran the tests on them, you can find the original spread sheet on google docs, as these things go its fairly legit but you're right an air of caution should always be used when dealing with suppplement companies

    Why?

    According to his tests ON has one of the highest in terms of protein content (%)

    Yeah seems very poor in that regard.
    Comparing manufacturers servings against each other rather than a set amount is pretty silly. But I don't think thats how they were ranked in terms of quality. It would be nice if the qualities rankings were explained.
