Another great one - thanks for bringing them up here, Richard. Just seeing they've added a COA page on their site under "Third-Party Tests". Gold standard move.
They were one of the companies I messaged back in July 2024 to find a high quality glutamine (& other free form amino acids). Their response: "At this time, we do not share certificates of analysis for any product. We are working diligently to have the C of A displayed readily on our website for every product and hope to have this completed in the future."
That said, they have many signs of being a great brand. Have used some of their products in the past (creatine + berb phytosome). Just haven't seen those COAs yet as promised. Hopefully soon!
Awesome guide. Do you have any whey protein recommendations? I was using MusclePharm Combat Series (oddly enough, now I see they have a lawsuit against them). Ideally, I want something clean. Also, have never taken creatine and want to start.
As far as both whey & creatine go - True Nutrition & Momentous are the top quality brands to choose from here. Perform well on purity & potency testing. And their amino acid profiles on whey products are dialed in.
Was hugely disappointed in MusclePharm years ago as well - one of my favorites in the early 2010s.
July 1, 2023 we started this - wonderfoodsau.com - and 100% of this is true.
Transparent labs, I use several of their products. Your feedback would be appreciated, thanks

Great post. What do you think of Thorne? That’s another one that’s highly rated.
I'm in the grey on them currently. Some context.

Thanks for this. I went with True Nutrition for both protein and creatine. The protein is very overwhelming with so many options.
Very welcome, Anthony. Enjoy my friend.
Thanks. How do you determine which blends to go with?
The bust supp guide I've read. thanks for that.
Thank you, Ron!
Curious if you think life extension is a solid brand?
I did a bunch of research and they seem good-to-go. Secondary, but they also have a large catalog and easy auto-ship management.
Another great one! Have crushed ConsumerLab's purity + potency testing the past decade. Another one to add here. Thank you my friend!
Thanks for this. I use a lot of Swanson vitamins and herbs. Any thoughts?
What do you think the NutraBio? Looking at their HMB.
