Protein powders and heavy metals?
    #24012303 - 01/15/17 02:12 PM (7 years, 15 days ago)

I have been doing a lot of research on protein powders and their heavy metal content, and it's really hard to find a powder that contains no heavy metals whatsoever.  It seems that almost all of them do, except some may contain them in negligible amounts. 

Do you consume a protein powder, and if so, which one do you take?  Are you aware of the issue of heavy metals in protein powder, as well as the metal content in the specific one you take?

I've been using Optimum Nutrition (ON) Gold Standard 100% Whey PROTEIN for years now after a bunch of research. It's good stuff IMO - and the only supplement (aside of multivitamins) I take these days..

I have some "organic" hemp protein as well (Nutiva) that turned out to contain trace amounts of heavy metals.  I think a product can be labelled organic and still have heavy metals in them.

I use a creatine powder. I dont remember what brand but I'm drinking it right now after riding and some weights. It always feels refreshing after.

I wonder if the amount in the powder is equivalent to say of that found in tap water?

My opinion on GNC is that their products are overpriced, and some of their brands contained heavy metals too.  The GNC here in town sells some supplements at a higher price than the local organic foods store.

Anyways, here is a basic summary of the issue of heavy metals in protein drinks, as well as the content in a few brands:
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/04/protein-drinks/index.htm

It seems like it's almost impossible to find a protein powder that contains zero heavy metals whatsoever...I'm sure that our water and food contain trace amounts too, but what I would like to know is if someone has information on the maximum levels of exposure to them without significant health risks.

If you look at the link in that list, the brand at the very bottom (Solgar whey) had the lowest amounts of heavy metals, but I was hoping to find something that was a little bit cheaper than that too.

Consumer reports tested it ( extreme milk chocolate flavor) and stated it tested positive for all 4 heavy metals
The hydro whey velocity vanilla tested positive for only arsenic
