- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- A first-of-its-kind Indian study looked at 36 popular protein powders used in India and found that 70% had inaccurate information about protein content. 14% also contained harmful fungal aflatoxins and 8% showed traces of pesticide residue. Faye D’Souza speaks to Dr Abby Philips aka The Liver Doc who led the study.

Bumping this comment.
Without naming the brand names, how can the people understand what is good and what is bad?
Research about the brand on google before buying one
@@ruchirshrikhande5584 then what's the point of this video
@@stgodless Exactly whats mentioned in the thumbnail. "Are protein powders safe" and not "Which protein brands are safe". Yes I agree some of the reliable brands should have been mentioned but they cant call out the bad ones because of legal notices
@@ruchirshrikhande5584 same thing. if you can't name at least the good brands that are established and above reproach your journalism is shite. there's a good percentage of fake products in almost any popular product: whey is not an exception. this piece would have been more helpful if it provided actual facts instead of scare tactics
They have the link in description of the Research
Unfortunately we have no Govt agency to look at the products FSSAI is just joke
But this is quite devastating at multiple levels! Because people choose plant protein because they are lactose and dairy free and many many people are Lactose intolerant, and their priority would obviously be the plant proteins which have been blatantly advertised as the healthiest, vegan, green, blah blah option! And it turns out that it is harming the people more than the lactose intolerance itself! This is literally like giving poison to the people! And most importantly, BJP definitely has their hands into this being the central government bodies which approve such companies which manufacture sub-standard and adulterated supplements as well as medicines! This is impossible that they aren't regulated, they are being sold with GST and taxes and with the FSSAI approved certificates which is yet again approved by the Government! And this has amplified thousand times after BJP has come into power, and obviously we know now that for electoral bonds and money they have approved many shell companies as well as counterfeit food producing companies. This is literally devastating and much like poisoning the people!
What govt agency you can trust these days? Look at NEET/ NTA, FSSAAI, Election Commission, IMA!
Here is a short summary for protein users by liver doc : ➡️Best whey - One Science & Ultimate Nutrition ➡️Best medium range whey- Nutrabox ➡️Best vegan protein- Origin ➡️Worst whey brand- Big Muscles ➡️Worst plant-based- Amway ➡️Worst brands advertised as best - Protinex/Ensure/B-protin ➡️Worst protein content- B-Protin, Ensure Plus, Bakson's Protein & Vegan by Big Muscles ➡️Brands that need extreme caution- Protein by Elements/Nutrilite by Amway [fungal toxins] ➡️Herbal blended proteins have more contaminants/pesticides than non-herbal
Adding one more best whey ~ muscleblaze 100% whey protein
Thank you very much
Thank you
From where did you got these names?

This is a very informative video.
Unfortunately, we are living in 'Chanda do, dhanda lo' times, and it has become difficult to trust brands.

Absolutely brilliant conversation!!!! I have been screaming these facts for a long time but all of them fall on deaf ears. Now there is a video I can show and shut the naysayers. People just want to live in a bubble!!!
There is a RUclips channel who does blind tests on protein powders. @ trustified. The guy seems to be genuine and method reasonable
There should be a thorough study on every processed food items available in the market for the human consumption not only protein… government should take this initiative and look forward for misleading labelling.
I have found wellness stores keep so many unhealthy consumables which are way more harmful for the human body.
For example, they sell 100% sugar based lollypops etc…
Certainly sir!....I recently got my acl surgery and doctor recommended me to take protein powder as I was vegetarian he wrote it down and I got it from the hospital dispensary,when I checked the label and ingredients it had malt dextride and wrote contains natural sweetener I mean wtf you should be brief about mentioning the sugars u have used they could be carcinogenic may be..this issue need to be addressed!
@@shauryarajput3073 absolutely... This is happening in the Indian market.
Thank you for this. I have been looking for such a study made specifically for Indian brands and glad to see someone has finally covered a robust and emerging concern.
The reason I choose protein based on review by Trustified ...
If you follow trustfied then you should not believe this study as according to trustfied if a protein is deviating within 10% of what is claimed then it’s accurate but they have labelled them also as not accurate. The doctor doesn’t seem to understand the concept of Margin or error
Yes . His method seems reasonable and genuine.
Regarding the subject of "termuric" being toxic to the liver, What exactly is the science behind this finding? Can you please refer some study material please? As an Indian, termuric is a staple, daily consumption in my diet, such as its use in daal (pulse) dishes, and in almost every item of veg and non veg, curries. So, am I basically, dosing my self towards liver failure in the long run?
we only add a pinch in our foods. but if you take in excess it can cause damage
The amount of turmeric which we consumer normally, while cooking, is perfectly safe. But if you take high concentrations in large quantities its not safe. All plants have developed a defense mechanism to protect itself against microbes. These are natural chemicals that the plants have developed through evolution. Spices are especially those plants which have a higher concentration of these chemicals. So consuming them in small quantities will provide anti microbial benefits for you. But large quantities of the same chemical which kills the microbe, will start harming your body.
I had already gone through report by Doctor, good to have such video too.
If we don’t get names it’s useless
The link of the research paper is given in the video description. There you will details of all brands included in the study and a detailed breakdown of each one.
If you don't use your brain, ear and eyes. You can uninstall youtube and gift phone to someone who uses those organs

1. Himalayan Organics
2. Nutrela®
3. Quista Pro Himalaya®

Don't use it. They add multivitamin and other rubbish ingredients.

I had Herbalife powder for weight reduction and it worked, but i developed a gland in my elbow. it was a reasonably big blob. i stopped that immediately and it went away in about 3 years. not everything is fine with Herbalife also.
Sorry to mention Sir but my mother also brought these herbal life powders as I had some knowledge about protein powders after checking the content and ingredients of herballife I was shocked to see so many unnecessary additions like soys which is not got if taken on regular basis as it increases estrogen levels which is a female hormone and many more unnecessary things were added to the protein powder just to make it taste better,I mean when u look for protein powder always look for one which has the lesser ingredients and addition to it!
@@shauryarajput3073 Thanks. We are living in hard times, it's always advisable to check, recheck and research before consuming anything.
My sister also developed skin issues after taking Herbalife & it took 3 years to get rid of it.
Major issue with these powders is that its not clinically tested. Same for International brands. It will be great if the same study is done for International brands which is available Online. This will make the study complete.
Thanks
Bro list got means send bro
Thank you so much!
What's the best way for an ordinary person to distinguish between what's safe and what isn't? Avoidance seems like the most prudent solution.
Use google. Check if brand has any certificates to stand by their authenticity, research about the ingredients used by them
1. Home cooked meals 2. Balanced diet 3. Avoid excess of anything 4. Take medicines only when doctors recommend (dont self medicate, even with ayurvedic meds).

fantastic work Faye, never bought a single paise of fancy protein power although Im in HIIT type workout for years . Never trusted those products and my doubts are turning out to be true . Lot of Fish , eggs , beans are good enough for normal functional life .
Thank you Faye and Dr Abby Philips.
I would like to see Dr. Robert Svoboda and Dr. Abby Philips debate.
whoa.... same thought here....😁
Lmao why would a certified hepatologist debate a ayurveda doctor? Doctors are not meant to debate each other on RUclips. Their "debate" should be through research
Thanks for sharing this critical piece of information. Could you name some of the substandard supplement brands. Your research would not be able to help us in the current form unless you warn us about the mislabeled brands.
What’s the best way to access the research? How might we support/donate to the researchers?
Awesome conversation! I'd love to know Docs thoughts about various Fish oil supplements available in the market. Whose it for? What about the people who regularly consume fish through their diets?
I am using Forever Arctic C fish oil since 12 years. Great benefits. It’s available in their Indian store too give a try. You will love it.
While there might not be stats on the efficiency of ayurvedic medicines, there is family history of individuals being cured for different diseases. Some of them were cured for wheezing, some for sinus and many such concerns. Now are these cures subject to other side effects from these medicines? Or are they genuine full coverage cures? It's confusing, because if something worked for many people, how can that not be considered as "no evidence" on effeciency?
Medical evidence requires a double blind lab study that ensures comparability. Further who is monitoring the companies making ayurvedic medicines, to ensure correct labelling, a list of full components..
Shame on the researchers, the Indian media and the influencers who are demonizing these brands when there is actually nothing wrong with them, even if you refer to the research itself. This research is not done by people who are experienced in protein testing. The heavy metals found are also in the safe range. There are so many flaws in this research you'll need to make an entire video on that itself
Where can one see the full report? Is it public information?
Faye D'Souza's video discusses a report on protein powders in India, revealing that many contain harmful substances like heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria. The report highlights the importance of third-party testing for safety. Based on the report, some recommended brands that are considered safe include Optimum Nutrition, MuscleBlaze, and MyProtein. Faye emphasizes that consumers should look for brands that provide transparency and have their products tested by independent labs
Thank you Doctor for opening our eyes regarding the protein powders
I hate this that I can't find the list . What's the point of this study if we can't get this list
13:06 ??
I have read through the complete article from which what i have found is that one science whey protein has the least amount of heavy metal and other harmfull substance,, but contains less protein per 100gm than what they claimed? Similarly is it safe of other brands like muzle blaze which has cadmium in it and gold whe protein which has pb in lower levels written. Please reply dr aby philip or faza
Ultimate nutrition also
Bring back Dr. phillips and have a debate with an Ayur doc. Will be fun and very informative!
Informative only from Dr. Abby's side.. Information and Ayurveda in the same sentence is an oxymoron 🤣🤣
And the fun from the ayur side 😆
@@RoarZabimaru haha, good one!
@@ANOOPBALHaha exactly 😂
Lol 😂 that's fuckin hilarious man!
I doubt that there will be any conversation 🤣
your research have been exposed😂 for more details watch all about nutrition channel
Even the research on ayurvedic supplements can be incorrect..
Sir, even this study might suffer from handicaps if govt is unwilling to accept it. the objective of this study was to find protein content in protein powders commercially available is understood,but commenting beyond the scope of the experiment itself is flawed. Eg saying no study to claim benifit of curcumin which FDA approves, to reject ashwagandha outrightly despite RCTs ,smacks of bias and burden of proof lies on you. Nevertheless, the study itself in this huge dark supplement market is much appreciated.
Samit
Very knowledgeable speaker. Well handled
I'm glad you liked it!
This is one of the best evidence based talks I have seen on Indian TV.
If this report is true and correct This needs to be in mainstream media and corrections to be taken immediately
What all brands come under this? Could publish a list of brands that have mis labelled protein content
I am using Muscle Blaze 90% isolated protein any issues you found in that please give info ...?
bro muscleblaze is very good this research is baseless watch all about nutrition channel you will understand
Yes found arsenic in it
Very informative and eye opening! We live in a world that is becoming highly adulterated!
Where can i find List of those brands
According to this liver doc turmeric and ashwagandha is hepatotoxic 😂😂😂😂
I'll pray that you don't get notices from IT or ED for pointing out few of the Govt's favorite corporates 🤣
He already got notice
Thank you Faye and Dr Abbey... It was an eye opener...
What about As-it-is ATOM Whey Protein ? It wasn't tested.... Is it safe to consume ?
Bro did u got any answer?
If u listen to the video till the end, He is not against coke and other sweet drink, but he is against green tea, herbal and everything else.
Fay should definitely invite an ayurveda specialist to contradict these statements as this is one sided conversation and we as Indian have grown up listening to benefits of turmeric, chandan, etc etc.
Everything cannot be called wrong and fake by one person and believed.
Very true, ayurvedic is far away from nonsense. Those meds are made from Himalayan herbs. If ayurveda is wrong why are gov. national ayurvedic institute are working & also gaining popularity in the world.
I have been consuming ASITIS unflavored whey concentrate for 4 years 2 scoops a day, not a single issue till now. I religiously drink 3 liter water per day and workout 6 days per week + 1 day of swimming.
Big muscles is a big lie everyone knows it but the brand is still running with Bollywood actors as their ambassadors!
How is naturaltein protein powder? Has the Liver Doc checked any of there plant or whey based protein powders.
very good
Not sure which protein brand is he talking about, on ayurveda, his points are not right, is he saying that the allopathic medicines are safe? Ayurveda has proven to be safe, it's a slow process but safe. BAMS doctors don't simply give medicines blindly.
Eye Opener Changed my perspective thanks Dr Abby and Faye.
allopathic drugs also have the risk of side effects in long run ,for chronic diseases and elderly people, one disease goes away the other comes in.
Right... absolutely...no checks n no research on frequently prescribed medications... pathetic..
All of their side effects are well recorded and documented. Patients have the right to know those side effects when they get prescribed
@@maniparmar3393all modern medicine doctors have well documented side effects properly published.
no such thing as allopathy anymore. allopathy is a homeopathy of the west from the 1800s. uss time bhi woh kuch bhi karte the.
and elderly people will always have problems. they are elderly
@@akshayde The moment someone mentions the word Allopathy, I know they have no idea about modern medicine.
can you disclose the brand which are safe?
My friend always look for brands which has less additions in ingredients and no added things ,for eg-protein concentrate,whey,sucralose or other sweetener while looking for sweetner always make sure they are not carcinogenic and make sure the brand you choose has been tested by various testing sites like testify ,labdoor etc.
Can someone highlight the benefits or disadvantages of taking spirulina?
Big Muscles' products have the highest difference in the labelled and actual protein %. More than 50%.
Product Name: Labeled % - Actual %
Frotien why: 76.5% - 26.1%
Vegan Protien: 81.3% - 19.4%
I read the entire journal. I did get the jist of the reason behind doing this study, but there is barely any information about the quality of contents in specific brands. Only a few plant based protein and herbal supplements have been mentioned having toxins but beyond that nothing. To be fair its not his job to name these brands out like this if he is not sure about it because if it turns out to be innacurate he'll have to face law suits. Wished he specified more on whey proteins because that's what most of us consume anyway
I don’t see the names of the protein brand companies anywhere in the study. I sure would like to know
I am just in shock. I dont take any suppliment i.e neither dairy nor plant based but worried about other ppl who might be consuming those.
Where is the list in which we can find high valued protein
Can anyone answer this?
amul, muscle blaze, one science, my protein, asitis
optimum nutrition?😊
@@aniket4488 Nope hastrash ingredients as well
@@ruchirshrikhande5584 source?
I went through the study and unfortunately find this whole study a bit biased towards sensationalizing the study, I live in India and I consume Isopure and Ace Blend , but they are not even in he study , a lot of protein brands are missing . To say that 70% of protein is mislabeled there sample set is small , also Ace Blend is a plant based protein, I am surprised they have not used it here
Good research on the protein powder. But this person is pure science. Can't speak about "Ayurvedic Supplements" but Ayurveda is way ahead of modern science and most practical. First you should read, practice and then discredit such a valuable guide for health. If a person follows Ayurveda, they won't have to go to see doctor in their lifetime for any common illnesses.
We don't actually need so many supplements....just follow your regional diet, you'll be well enough!!!
I would appreciate some examples. Thanks
Many Indian diets are deficient in protein
No I don't think so ,
You don't go to gym. I understand
It depends on your activity level. Normal sedentary lifestyle doesn't need protein supplements. However, athletes and gym goers will need protein supplements. Because it's quite difficult to get all the protein that is needed every day. I can't eat 10 eggs every day for example.
Without naming the brands its a useless video.. In our daily usage also, there are lot of packaged food products which are mostly unsafe for health. So the black sheeps are there everywhere. Protein is a very important source for our body, especially vegetarians who are physically active, weight lifting, Athletes etc they cannot get their full Protein from their veg food diets bcz they need to control the carbs & fats also. So Whey protein helps there.
He can comment on the modern day protein powder But stay away from Aswaganda and Shilajith or other Ayurvedic sources
Have normal food, measure it and caliberate it as per your nutrition requirements. No need to eat these over the counter supplements. There is always one or the other drama with these things.
Which brand is good for kids protein supplements
This study is flawed ;-
The method used to calculate protein content is based on amount of nitrogen present in the sample which is only present in protein and not in fats or carbs but nitrogen is also present in creatine also which can inflate the protein content which happened with nitro tech whey protein.
Also if the deviation is in 5-10% then it’s considered accurate as no testing method is 100% accurate so by that logic 30 out of 36 protein brands justify the labels
Which one is safe?
11:36 , Thank me
Without naming the brand total research is useless.
Reveal the brand
Does anyone has the name of those brands ?
Which brands were tested? That information is nowhere in the report
If the research had done with such details, why no body is directly providing the brand name accordingly 😏
Faye, I've noticed that the lighting on your face is a bit too harsh.
Please ask about Nveda Brand which is sold online
Thanks @Abby philip
what about Muscle Tech Whey protein ? is it safe ?
From where we can get those research reports

Informative and debunking. A truth that needs telling.
Muscle Blaze, Optimum Nutrition and Muscle Tech are apparently the only ones accurately reporting protein content. Other popular brands like Nakpro and Nutrabay werent tested but in an another report a couple of years ago Nakpro's reported protein was found to be accurate too.

So which paper carries this list of safe protein

According to Dr. Abby Philips' research on 36 popular protein supplement brands in India, the key findings regarding the best protein powders were:
One Science Nutrition was found to be the "best" whey protein brand based on the analysis
3
.
The protein supplement by Nutrabox was determined to be the "best medium range" whey protein powder
2
.
Origin made the "best vegan" protein powder according to the study results

Best overall whey protein: One Science Nutrition
Best mid-range whey protein: Nutrabox
Best plant-based/vegan protein: Origin
