Some of the key findings:

PROTEIN | LABEL ACCURACY:

The average variance for protein content was 5.6%. The average variance for sodium content was 91.7%. 

PROTEIN | PRODUCT PURITY:

All fifty protein powders tested in this batch passed heavy metals screens for arsenic, lead, cadmium, bismuth, antimony, and silver (below 1 part per million). 

PROTEIN | NUTRITIONAL VALUE:

RTD (Ready-To-Drink) products ranked significantly worse than their powdered forms, due to increased fat, sodium, and preservative content.  

PROTEIN | INGREDIENT SAFETY:

63 inactive ingredients and 147 active ingredients were identified in at least one protein supplement analyzed.
