ABOUT THE INSTITUTE
We are the independent, data-driven authority on protein supplements. We exist because the industry operates in a regulatory grey area.
Our Mission
Most supplement advice online is generated by affiliates who copy and paste marketing claims from the back of the tub. We buy retail tubs, send them for independent lab analysis, and publish the true macronutrient profiles alongside taste and mixability scores.
We test for heavy metals, amino spiking, and label accuracy. If a product fails, we say so.
Our team consists of sports nutritionists, data analysts, and biochemists who are tired of the marketing fluff that dominates the fitness industry.
Funding
We do not accept sponsorships. We fund our lab testing through affiliate links on products that pass our rigorous screening process. If you buy through a link on our site, we may earn a commission, but it does not affect our reviews.
