Try/ Google Lushprotein. Prices are way cheaper than MyProtein, with better flavouring while having the same nutrition profile. Highly recommended!

Err, great job trying to dispute the authenticity of a brand with a wordpress account that only has 1 post. Have you even visited their official site? Jeez.

This is a dug out email from my past correspondence with LushProtein's CEO in regards to my past concerns, below is his reply:


"For AVA certification, I have attached a sample AVA cert for testing we have done (protein content of whey concentrate). Please note that AVA does not allow us to disseminate this or use it for advertising so it's for your eyes only. We do random testing for our benefit - to ensure that ingredients we purchase are of the quality we expect from our suppliers.

The certifications on the site are Certificates of Analysis provided from our suppliers - which outline the specs for each major ingredient. The source has been masked as this is commercially sensitive, but we pass on the specs to our customers for those who are interested. We do random testing (AVA or otherwise) to ensure ingredients purchased meets the specs.

We note that the above is purely voluntarily - as a minimum we as food/supplement manufacturers are bound by the AVA food regulations
(https://www.ava.gov.sg/docs/default-source/default.../food-regulations-2-feb-2016) as well as HSA Supplement guidelines (www.hsa.gov.sg/content/hsa/en/Health_Products.../Health_Supplements.html) , which cover food/supplement safety aspects (banned/controlled ingredients) as well as product claims and labelling.

Current country source for the Whey is USA, Denmark & Netherlands. Please note that whey is typically sourced from giant diary conglomerates (think dutch lady etc.) - they are a huge cooperatives who have farms across Europe. For example we also source whey from Glanbia (an Irish/US company) who produces a whole host of ingredients, plus also own ON, BSN etc."

Soy protein sounds good. Is it the powdered type or the soy milk sold in the wet market?

I am not affiliated directly with LushProtein btw. But I have been using their supplements for the past 1 year and have found them to be of great quality. Atm nothing beats their soy protein price, gram for gram comparison. Not even their whey.

Rm369 for 5kg? Pretty expensive for an 'unknown' brand no? Why take the risk when u can get established brands for even cheaper price?

Similar to a guy in my gym trying to sell an obscure eastern Europe brand of supplements at premium prices and wonder why there were no takers.

Not really an 'unknown' brand anymore as quite a few crossfit boxes/ Strength & Conditioning facilities around Malaysia are already stocking it, and is very well known in Singapore. The problem with all these "established" brands is that there are increasing news and reports of fake products circulating the market + the issue of protein spiking. Plus I really hate the fake sweeteners most of them use. Granted, ON, BSN taste ok, but the rest of the brands are really shite.

Whatever rocks your boat m8. I know I'm making progress in the gym. Just sharing lol.
