    Default Prime Nutrition Products Not Meeting Label Claims

    From John Meadows Facebook:

    I continue to receive questions asking if I am part of Prime Nutrition.
    The answer is unequivocally no. I am not associated with them in any way, shape, or form.


    There is a much bigger issue here that needs to be addressed though.
    What is most disappointing, is that I was recently warned about the products with my name on them; that they likely did not have the ingredients (nor the doses) that were in the formulas I gave to Prime. My word is my bond, and I do not put my name on anything unless I believe in it. I know what it's like to manage a tight budget, and the last thing I want is for men and women to throw away their hard earned dollars on something that does not meet label claims, or worse, contain none of the listed ingredients as advertised in the products.
    I wanted to know if this was true, so I spent a few thousand dollars of MY OWN money to have the products tested for 2 ingredients, for starters - Teacrine, and Hydromax. The testing was done by one of the most reputable labs in the US. On the first test we had a container of IntraMD EAA sent to the lab that was purchased from the Vitamin Shoppe. The results of the first test were well below label claim for Hydromax. This was the only ingredient I had tested due to expense. I then had a second test done on IntraMD EAA that was sent directly to the lab from Amazon (where it was purchased), to confirm and verify the first set of tests that were performed. I had hydromax tested again, and added teacrine to this test as well. What you see attached are the result's of the 2nd test. Needless to say it was another substandard result that validated the first.
    - NO teacrine was found in the product.
    - 44% of label claim for Hydromax was found.

    These findings are a betrayal of trust that I gave to Prime and is not something I take lightly.
    The manufacturer that made this product for Prime is DuraCap labs. The owners of this company were part owners in Prime until just a few days ago.
    Many of you have voiced complaints over the last few months, but felt as if you couldn't really do anything about it - well I can. I will stand up for you and for what's right.
    This is not a "gut feeling" or me lashing out. This is not a smear campaign. This is pure and simple fact confirmed by rigorous scientific testing that will hold up in court.

    Who owns Prime now? John mentions the former owner and new owner? I thought Aaron had left Prime and it was only PJ now. Maybe I am totally confused. I am so behind in all this...good thing I use mostly Species, haha.

    This is just scratching the surface, unfortunately. John is a creative guy to bust them for this, but it's karma for a number of other things

    Great info Solution !!

    I guess I was right all along, PJ and Aaron scamming people for money as usual …. (Even if I respect Aaron to some degree because I like his hustle).

    As far as John Meadows integrity … it never was a concern, the guy even spent his own money to test the products by a lab, only to find that the labels of prime nutrition products (those who were tested at least) did not meet the claims.

    That's very disrespectful from the owner(s) of Prime Nutrition to use Meadows name and doing shady things that he was unaware of that could tarnish his reputation. I think people won't be fooled and know who to trust or not in this instance.

    Evan probably knew that some stuff wasn't smelling great at Prime Nutrition and Blackstone labs before choosing to stop working with them.
    David Cua also called Donald Pump known for "making bodybuilding great again" !

    Well we can see that rats are leaving the sinking ship. PJ now wants to solely focused on Blackstone labs and sold his shares. The thing his, if there is a legal actions it could still involved him since the facts (ingredients absent from the products etc.) happened while PJ was involved in Prime. (my guess not sure about that, but it's how it works in France)

    So let me get this straight. John Meadows blows the whistle on their formulations not meeting the claims on the label and then he suddenly becomes a POS. Maybe he didn't promote the products because he knew they were not up-to-par. PJ, as a business man, you should refrain from these kind of video attacks as it makes you look childish. I would put my dollar on John Meadows any day of the week and never on PJ and his company.
