Checked against public sources between July 21 and July 24, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.

Does the marketing hold up?

Testing claimed — documentation not found. The observed listing claims third-party testing without naming a lab or certifier. No product-bound report is saved, so the claim cannot be verified as stated. …

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed2

“Animal 100% Whey Protein Powder – Whey Blend for Pre Workout or Post Workout, Recovery, or an Anytime Low Sugar Protein Boost Meal Replacement…”

Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

Evidence →
“throw some in your bag for any time extra protein is needed, including breakfast, in between meals, and pre- and post-workout Made to the Highest…”

“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

?Couldn’t verify independently2

“IN”

“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.

Evidence →
“is needed, including breakfast, in between meals, and pre- and post-workout Made to the Highest Quality & Safety Standards: All of our products…”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

What is worth knowing.

Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 15 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 039442000767.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 039442000767 to "100% Whey Protein Powder Chocolate Flavor" (Animal) — consistent with this listing.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.

The panel lists 1 g of prebiotic fiber (inulin-type) per serving. Studies we found used 3 g–10 g a day, so this sits below that range.

0studied 3 g–10 g

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
