Guys! A Redditor just finished lab tests on a bunch of protein powder brands! - Bodybuilding.com Forums

Original reddit topic: Offering broscience service: I'll test your protein powders : Fitness
This deserves a bump, it's pretty important. If a protein is cheaper than it should be, like the shit at costco for instance, it is garbage.

And the plot thickens... The worst brand on the tests claimed that these tests are baseless, and submitted a lab test of their own... but the lab they used is either not real, or owned by themselves, because the website and domains are hosted by the same people

Anything over 70% in this guy's tests is fine, because the protein he used is not always 100% soluble. If the powder didn't dissolve 100%, some of it would have been left out of the test.
