![]() ![]() Leucine content, when listed, is lower than 2.7 g per 25 g of protein content (the BCAA content of whey is 25%, leucine should be 11%).(More on proprietary blends in a moment.) It has a proprietary blend or doesn’t list leucine content.You can be ripped off and pay way too much (I’ve seen 11x market price protein from one “luxury brand” gym in Japan), but you won’t ever find it significantly cheaper than everything else without there being something dodgy going on. Whey is a commodity traded on the open market. The cost per pound/kilo of claimed protein content is considerably cheaper than average.Here are some red flags to look out for when choosing a protein powder for CrossFit: These are cheaper by the gram, and gives the manufacturer the benefit of being able to list these on the packet, knowing that consumers have enough general awareness of these to think they are good, but not be educated enough to realize that, in fact, they are just being robbed of the protein they should be getting. They can also add other nitrogenous, but non-proteinogenic (protein creating) acids into the mix, such as creatine and beta-alanine.(Robbing us of some of the ones that are critical to the muscle building process.) So, manufacturers can cheat the system by dumping cheap, low-quality amino acids like glycine and taurine into the mix.Under normal circumstances, as every amino acid contains nitrogen, measuring the nitrogen content of a powder should indicate how much protein it contains. ![]() ![]()
