Most supplement reviews are opinions with an affiliate link attached. This one starts from arithmetic: what a gram of protein actually costs you, and whether a formula is dosed at the levels the research used.
Both are computed from a product's own label and its current price. Neither is a matter of taste, and both can be recalculated by anyone who wants to check.
Price divided by the protein in the package. A tub that looks cheap on the shelf is often expensive per gram, and the ranking that matters is rarely the one on the price tag.
Every active ingredient measured against the dose used in published research. A pre-workout advertising a “6 g performance blend” is underdosed on citrulline alone, and the blend is what hides it.
A product is only rated once its panel has been read and captured. Where the data is thin, the page says so instead of estimating a number to fill the gap.
A blend lists its ingredients but not their individual doses. That is legal, common, and makes the formula unauditable: a label can print citrulline, beta-alanine and caffeine inside a 750 mg blend when a clinical dose of citrulline alone is 6,000 mg.
Since a blend hides whether the dose is real, an ingredient inside one is scored as undosed rather than assumed adequate, and the product carries an explicit penalty. If a brand discloses its doses, that shows up in its score.
The rating engine is built and tested. Product pages are not published yet, and that is deliberate — a review site whose numbers are its whole argument should not publish numbers it has not verified.
Aggregated buyer sentiment on taste and mixability is planned but not built. When it arrives it will carry counts and links to real sources. It will not be a number invented to fill a column.
On affiliate links. This site will earn commission on some links, and pages carrying one will say so. No brand pays for a rating, and no rating changes because a brand enrolled. Any product can be rated whether or not there is money in it.
