- Display and filter by number of ingredients. My trainer said to avoid the powders filled with "crap". The more pure, the better (e.g. he was referring to unnecessary additives, sweeteners, etc.)
- You're using a single source website.. why not show the review star rating?
- Separate brand and product name into two separate fields.
2. I ended up buying a brand that was highly rated and includes some flavoring and vitamins. I love it! It actually tastes great (to me) too!
3. If I were to have found this site back then, I probably would not have chosen (2), because it is not the cheapest per protein molecule. But if I found a poor tasting or lethargy-inducing solution, I may have given up my journey.
So: cool, though caution that price per powder isn't everything!
Or skip the middlemen and buy whey protein isolate directly from a dairy/creamery, in bulk: https://old.reddit.com/r/Supplements/comments/16r3xjt/psa_i_... I wonder if there are similar upstream sources for soy, pea, or rice protein isolate?
One important aspect of choosing a protein powder is the amino balance - especially for vegan proteins. Unfortunately many brands don’t provide this info, and you have to infer it from the ingredients.
This after all is food and i dont want to buy some home mixed brew which is 1c/serving cheaper

Are there companies who take care of the sourcing + importing + QA for retail veggie protein brands? Some actor in the supply chain just before flavoring is mixed in
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seconding this. Variables I care about are packaging, sweetener additives, and country of manufacture/origin.
Most important IMO is third-party testing along with published results. Concentrating nutrients also concentrates contaminants like lead and PFAS, and many powders have cocoa, which is also notorious for lead contamination.
