Episode notes
Always Verify Batch Testing
- Use third-party batch testing before trusting daily supplements like protein or creatine.
- Scan QR batch reports to verify heavy metals, potency, and purity for peace of mind.
Certification Isn’t Enough
- Brands often claim certifications but test only a small percent of batches.
- Full batch transparency (QR per batch) is the next standard consumers should demand.
Protein Powders Commonly Contain Toxins
- Nearly half of top-selling protein powders tested above California Proposition 65 heavy metal limits.
- Plant-based proteins and chocolate flavors often show higher heavy metal loads.
