For the sake of wanting as many certified for sport products as possible on this list, we are reviewing the ‘Sport’ Grass Fed Whey protein.
Garden of Life has a few different grass fed whey options. Is it NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport? Y/N 1 being poor, 5 being excellent, and we took the average of our two scores. I was not paid by these brands or compensated for this review.Įach whey protein powder was ranked with a scoring system of 1-5. If you don’t see your protein powder mentioned here, check this list of certified products here or check with your dietitian to assure you’re using a safe product. 11 of the 13 in this article are safe for athletes. Why? Because it's constantly going through rigorous testing to make sure it's legit.
Even if you aren't in collegiate or professional sports, I still highly recommend seeking out a protein with this certification. Required for athletes to assure they aren't taking any illegal supplements this certification assures what's listed on the package is what's actually in the product. Athletes should only use products that go through a third party certification, such as NSF certified for sport or Informed Sport.
The FDA does not regulate supplements so you must always use caution when using them. I also wanted a second opinion, so I had my assistant taste test with me.
Which is the best whey protein powder for athletes? The most affordable, best tasting, lowest in sugar, and does it contain high quality ingredients? I compared 13 different brands of whey protein powders for this review, including all the ones I was asked about most on my instagram story poll a few weeks back.
