Most of this industry sells hope by the tub. We read the trials, check the doses against them, and say plainly which products are worth your money.
What the research supports, what the dose actually is, and who each one genuinely suits.
This is a straightforward, high-protein option for those who want to reach daily intake goals without unnecessary additives.
We have not used these products and we never pretend we have. We read the specs, the certifications and thousands of owner reports, so you do not have to.
We look up what trials exist for the ingredient, and how strong they really are.
A studied ingredient at a token dose does nothing. We compare the label to the research.
Purity and label accuracy vary wildly. We note who tests independently and who does not.
The tub price hides the real number. We calculate what a month actually costs.
A small number have genuinely solid evidence behind them, creatine and vitamin D among them. Most of the rest sit somewhere between promising and unproven, and a fair few do nothing at all. We tell you which group a product falls into rather than selling the whole shelf.
Because a label can list an impressive ingredient and include a fraction of the amount that was studied. It is the single most common trick in this industry, so every review compares what is in the tub with what the research actually used.
It means an independent lab has checked that the contents match the label and that nothing unwanted came along. Supplements are loosely regulated, so this matters more here than in almost any other category we cover.
Often not. Price tends to track marketing spend rather than quality, and some of the best value products are unglamorous. We work out cost per serving so you can see what you are really paying.
Yes, particularly if you take prescription medication or have an ongoing condition. Interactions are real. Our reviews help you choose well, but they are not a substitute for someone who knows your medical history.
A small, slightly obsessive crew who'd rather read a spec sheet than a press release.
Spent six years in nutrition research and now spends it reading labels that hope nobody will.
Traces every health claim back to the trial it came from, and checks the trial was any good.
Follows third-party test results and recalls so a contaminated batch does not stay on our list.
