here bro

The cytosport product I use isn't in the list but there is one with a B rating so I dunno.

Cytosport Whey Isolate got a D on that site.

MM IMO was one of the worst ever made, and people flocked to it lol

ON nutrition is highly reputable and great quality.

have you seen this link;

https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein

I don't trust that site because when you click on the protein powder it takes you to a review page and then the owner of the website has an affiliate link to the protein if someone purchases it they get paid a commission. My suspicion is that they rank the highest ones as the ones they get the biggest payout on, I could be wrong but I don't think that's a legit testing lab website. Do they actually have the full lab reports like on the heavy metals, etc?

No it didn't. Your talking about the premade drinks. Those are all shit. The dry powder is not the same as those mixed drinks.

Yeah, just like bb.com, you've got to take these with a grain of salt because of the possible conflict of interest.

I created an account to see their "full report." It's just a bunch of words. Here is one example:

that to me looks like more than a "bunch of words"

that to me looks like more than a "bunch of words"

I need graphs, tables, etc.

Not just "Bulk samples of this product passed the six mineral assays, indicating presence of under 1PPM (part per million) of arsenic, lead, cadmium, bismuth, antimony, and silver compounds."

By the way, 1PPM is a hell of a lot of trace heavy metals. I am looking for 10-100ppb at most. When they say less than 1ppm, does that mean 0.99ppm? Or 0.01ppm? If their assay equipment has a sensitivity of 1ppm, they need better equipment, or the stuff isn't clean enough.

Let me know when you find a good one. I'm sure syntha 6 is probably full of awful chemicals.
