So if you guys see any ADDED TAURINE OR GLYCINE which are NON ESSENTIAL amino acids, chances are your whey protein only has 10 grams of protein compared to 22-24 grams of protein as claimed.
This is how they cheat you with amino spiking so that your scoop of powder has only half the amount stated in the label.
I won't name supplement brands to avoid being sued but I'm sure this article will teach you how to shop smart from now on.

is this true? so it's better to actually buy 100% whey protein with no other add-on while getting those Amino Acids in seperate package?

can u rate this?

Lol. The guide I gave. Use it.
Added glycine and taurine in there. You don't expect me to review every protein for you right?

i did read thru, but from the nutri facts, they did state protein as the 1st ingredient as u recommended
however like u suggest if there's added amino acid component means the actual protein is lower but they didn't actually shown it, kind of confuse about this part.

all mass gainer and whey product have protein.
its just a matter of what protein.
the protein that we are expected to consume and to exist in such products is proteins that are equivalent to what we get from regular food. protein that contains essential amino acid (protein consisted of many amino acids btw) that arent being produced by our body, needed from outside source, and will be used for growth and repair.
taurine and glycine aka added protein are NOT ESSENTIAL (either being produced by body already or noninvolved in growth and repair).

now which is better:
15g Actual protein + 15g Nonactual protein
vs
30g Actual protein
