Thai Protein powder pro-flex claims 100% protein, is it possible ? I can't find similar in US...

Hi,

It seems that on pro-flex website it is written that this protein powder is 100% pure, do you think it is possible ?

http://www.proflexwhey.com/index.php/products/concentrate-series/proflex-pure

For 32g serving there is 32g protein.

Do you think it is possible and why I cannot find similar in US ?

Can we trust local made protein ? (actually I don't trust more US companies...)

Thank you for your ideas.

A 100% pure protein powder doesn't exist.

A Protein isolate can be 94% pure at best, and a concentrate which proflex is, can be anywhere between 30% and 80% pure.

So in the best case scenario proflex will be 80% pure.

Edit : A look at the link shows that they mean that a 32gr scoop contains 32gr of protein concentrate, which means there is nothing else added.

32g protein for 32g serving does not mean 100% protein ?

But this brand is the most famous / spread in Thailand ? Would they dare ?

the "WPC 80" listed in the ingredients should indicate to anyone with half a clue that it is 80% pure

It never does not even in the US but why would you care for the last few percents you pay a premium. If you really care go for casein protein as it has more chance being used for muscles as for fuel as it is taken up slower.
