Supplements at impossible prices!!!
The trend on acquisition in a time of crise is
always the price and never the quality. During this everlasting economic crise
the effect on our mind had been a reluctance on buying non essentials things
and a tendency to buy only what we think is essential to save something for the
cheapest things less important. This had an influence on the supplement market
aswell with the rise of the lowest price possible search and not the quality
search. Is the most economical product better ? NEVER. There is always a reason
why a price is so incredible low and the company might deceive you if you are
not an expert.
ON internet you can buy products from eastern
Europe where controls are lower, from the US where the quality compare to
Europe is very low with a very low control on labels and an open mind on use of
chemical preservatives damaging our health and generally prohibited in Europe.
At the end you may find yourself buying a protein on internet only because it
costs 5-10 dollars less a pound or even more. But Why?
An example for all protein powder, the most
bought product on internet. Whey protein, Casein, Egg proteins are expensive
materials, but there is a way you can be deceived. When a test is done to
determine the amount of protein content of a protein the analisis foucus the
attention to the nitrogen content of the product, so if I add non essential
aminoacids to the product what do I get ? I get a 80% of protein converted to a
90% just for the label and since in country like the US and Canada the
aminoacids content is not mandatory like for example in France you get deceived
because you thought you had bought a 90% protein, but in reality you simply
spent less because you bought a 80% of protein with other ingredient added like
glycine, taurine or creatine.
Taurine and glycine already occur naturally in
protein, but some companies are simply adding more of it to legally “pad the
protein stats,” giving you less of what you want and more of what you don’t
need.
Your protein might get certified that contain 90
% but if you read the label and see these names ( glycine, Taurine or creatine
), they had you!! and they got what they want! sell the lowest quality to the
searcher of price and not quality, you just got a cheap filler to your product
Since the problem still persists years later,
it’s time to bring it back to the forefront. This in hopes that you’ll share
it, ask questions, and contribute to the conversation.
This is not the only reason you should be
careful when buying on internet or in a shop at low price. Some time the price
is associated to a low price font material. In protein bars, meal replacements
and cookies is frequently seen. The use of vegetable oils dangerous to your
health but at very low price such as palm oil should turn on the alarm. So if
you find protein bars with added aminoacids or added simple sugars or vegetable
oils with not indication of its origin you can be certain it is easily palm oil
and if it costs less you know why and decide weather to avoid it or buying
knowing that you get what you payed for. Maybe is time to think of quality aswell
