Consumer Report on Protein Powder

Posted: July 16, 2018

Nearly all athletes use protein powder at some time. In order to get in the required amount of protein, you’d have to eat a lot of food to get to your goals. Unfortunately, consumer report on protein powder have shown toxins that harm.

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store, then you know. There are so many protein powder supplements, that it gets overwhelming. From organic to flavored, plant-based and non GMO…the choices are endless.

We used to use Vega brand plant-based protein powder. I preferred that taste of the Whey based Vanilla BioChem’s protein powder but wanted a plant-based alternative as well.

Boy were we surprised when this Consumer report on protein powder came out that put the Vega brand at the top of the list for toxic ingredients. However, I was happy that the BioChem brand was at the top for the safest!
