What is inside
- What amino spiking is, and why it is legal. Cheap free-form aminos are nitrogen. Standard protein testing measures nitrogen. That is the entire loophole.
- The glycine line. One number on the amino panel that separates real complete whey from a padded one. Check it on any tub you already own.
- How to read an 18-amino panel in under a minute — what to look at, in what order, and what to ignore.
- Isolate, concentrate and blend compared on price per gram of protein rather than price per tub, which is the comparison that actually decides value.
- Why a brand that hides its amino profile has made a choice, and what that choice usually is.
