Whey protein powder is a must-have supplement for all fitness enthusiasts
To borrow a phrase from all the muscle men – no whey, no muscle.
Because the effects of whey protein have been widely recognized and more and more users are using it, many whey protein products have suddenly appeared on the market, but a considerable part of them are "selling dog meat with sheep's heads" - with Low-priced protein or substances that look like whey protein are passed off as whey protein to sell at a high price.
For example, it is also useful to use low-priced proteins such as soy protein and egg protein to pretend to be whey protein, and to use similar-looking substances such as flour, ordinary milk powder or animal feed whey powder to pretend to be whey protein. Whey protein with a protein content of 34% is passed off as whey protein with a protein content of 80%….
Fake whey proteins generally add a lot of spices - not only to cover up the unique taste of the fake raw materials themselves, but also to cover up why the unique flavor of whey protein cannot be presented, and to please consumers who simply pursue taste.
Actually,it is very simple to be a smart consumer. As long as you master the following tips, you can greatly reduce the chance of being deceived:
1.Send it to health and epidemic prevention stations, scientific research institutions, technical supervision bureaus and other units that are qualified to measure protein content for measurement of nutritional indicators
2. Folk method: rinse with boiling water. Soy protein will dissolve quickly after being washed with boiling water. After whey protein is washed with boiling water, many flocculent and granular white objects will appear
3. Consult the manufacturer or regular agent of the product to confirm the identity of the place of purchase, or even send the product in question to the original manufacturer for identification
4. Choose brands that have been on the market for a long time and strong companies. It is best to have factories or formally registered branches in China, so that they will be more effectively constrained to handle complaints, Only in disputes such as claims can the real subject be found.
In short To distinguish between real and fake whey protein, you must use scientific and objective methods. You cannot judge based on simple appearances such as "good or bad". Some people think that whey protein is bland and tasteless, and they are not used to it. But that’s what real whey protein is.
