Stop taking protein powder until you read this

Did you know not all protein is created equally?

In a recent study by The Clean Label Project® in 2024*, 160 protein powders from 70 top-selling brands in the U.S, representing 83% of the market, were tested for harmful contaminants, including lead!  

The shocking results revealed: 

contain lead above Prop 65 safety thresholds*
exceed 2x Prop 65 safety thresholds for lead*

Potential impact of consuming too high levels of harmful contaminants

Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are among the chemicals listed under Proposition 65 due to their harmful effects on human health.  

These metals, often found in the environment through industrial processes or contamination, can pose serious health risks when consumed or absorbed in significant amounts over time. 

Exposure to lead and other heavy metals can occur through a variety of sources, including contaminated water and soil, lead-based paint, and contaminated food. To reduce the risk of heavy metal exposure, it is important to take steps to minimize exposure to these substances, such as  avoiding contaminated food, supplements and water.*

This is not okay! 

US protein consumers are left in the dark about levels of contamination in a market where almost every other product is shown to be highly contaminated. 

This is not okay!  

You should be able to enjoy your protein powder every day without worrying about accumulating harmful contaminants.
