Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 15 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

A premium-priced isolate whose premium buys grass-fed branding rather than better protein; Dymatize ISO-100 or Gold Standard deliver the same protein-per-serving outcome for far less.

Our testers love Transparent Labs 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate because we know exactly what’s in it, and almost every flavor we’ve tried is a 5 out of 5 on taste. Yes, it’s a little more expensive than other protein powders but you get what you pay for.

It's actually really good. Yeah. Could use it a little bit colder or maybe a little bit more water. Straight out of the uh the ice machine than the drink machine. Yeah, we got to put some ice in here. You know, so I actually tried this uh the other day and I think I had it watered down a little bit.

Transparent Labs whey protein lives up to its name, transparency. Every supplement they make is third party tested for quality and purity, and you can see the exact breakdown of ingredients right on the label down to the milligram. The ingredients are minimal and simple, including whey protein, natural flavors, salt, stevia, and certain flavors, cocoa powder, or peanut flour is added as the fifth ingredient. There are no soybased preservatives, artificial additives, or colors in the Transparent Labs way. Transparent Labs even has an explanation as to the quality of their natural flavors in their product and encourages consumers to contact the company directly if there are any concerns about the source of their natural flavors.
