[rugerjitsu]

Protein spiking is the Shady practice of supplement companies to replace the expensive protein in your powder with other amino acids or creatine or taurine to fool the nitrogen test to say that label claims are accurate when in fact they are not

Just picked up dymatize iso-100. Scored well on labdoor. I feel better knowing i have real protein now.

BTW, any suggestions on quality protein powder that ISN'T flavored?

I'm not a chocolate guy, and I hate vanilla - the Syntha-6 strawberry version is ok, but now I see that it's not the greatest powder.

What to do?

That’s a good one. I️ personally prefer the team skip blend.

I️ would go with a few different flavors just in case u don’t like the one you picked. I️ think they would still give you the discount as long as you stick to the same protein type. I️ have a discount code if u need one.

It only fools Kjeldahl.

This is actually one thing that amino acid analysis is good for.

But... are creatine and taurine not more expensive than regular protein?


...melamine is used for that and it had been a pretty big thing before more modern methods than kjendahl were used.... using amino acids for spiking makes little sense to me economically... just spike with melamine or random cheap plant isolate

 

[janoshik]

To clarify, Kjeldahl is the name of the analytical method used to determine total nitrogen

What i have read is that these are cheaper than the protein

I'm not 100% sure, that's why I had written it as a question.

However, I think that some protein from wheat or something similar is cheaper per unit of nitrogen than purified amino acids. If they really had bad intention, melamine is by far the most effective way to screw up total nitrogen readings.

Good idea - try them out.

Do you add any of their optional ingredients?

PM me the code and I'll order a batch. Thanks
