    Giant Sports Class Action Lawsuit: 12 grams of protein / label claim is 27
    http://romanoroberts.com.mx/giant-sp...l-claim-is-27/

    Being a supplement company owner myself who spends a ton of money on making a high quality 100% whey protein isolate (ISOLYZE), it irks me when I see companies using deceptive marketing techniques to boost their profit margins and, likewise, try to outsell other high quality supplements by charging prices that are less than my manufacturing costs. "Protein Spiking" is the most deceptive crime you can commit on a consumer looking for a high quality whey protein product. Shame on them!

    No shocker here. Any company that BK has something to do with should be avoided like ebola.

    There are some real crap products that hide under the guise of fancy marketing and labels.

    I purchased my first tub of Isolyze last week. It is the best tasting, best mixing protein powder I ever had. It was much more than anything I expected, kudos to you and Species.

    This was not an ad but I wanted to let Dave know and everyone else.

    Isolyze is by far the best tasting protein out there. Wish The Vitamin Shoppe carried it though. I hate ordering and racking up my CC.

    ISOLYZE is my best selling product in the SPECIES NUTRITION supplement line. It's also my worst profit margin item (because it's made too well-- highest grade Whey Protein Isolate and most expensive flavoring system) but I believe that hard training athlete's want the best (and I stake my reputation on that)....... so, when I see deceptive marketing ploys like "protein spiking" with cheap amino acids or "proprietary formulas" (which are sneaky ways of NOT telling you what's in a companies product), it saddens me because i know that only victim is the unbeknownst consumer.

    A class action lawsuit has been filed against Giant Sports over their Delicious Protein. The lawsuit alleges, based on testing performed by Chromadex, that only 12 grams in every serving is actually whey protein, out of the claimed 27. Those who know the company’s founders would expect no less. Actually, that’s not true – some of us are surprised there’s any whey protein in this product at all. There’s actually more spiked aminos in here than whey protein…

    Isolyze is the best whey protein on the market, bar none.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that you might not know what company is being sued.

    Just in case, Giant Sports Products LLC of Brick, New Jersey is the alleged bad guy here.
