Do You Know How Much You Are Really Paying for the Protein Supplement?


Following up from the last article, once you get your % of protein purity, you are ready to move on to the next step in determining how much $$$ you are actually paying for your protein supplements!

take a two 5 pounders for example, product A and product B.

Product A costs $40 at 27% purity
5 pounds * 0.27 = 1.35 pounds of protein
$ 40 / 1.35 pounds of protein = $29.63 / pound

Product B costs $60 at 90% purity
5 pounds * 0.9 = 4.5 pounds of protein
$60 / 4.5 pounds of protein = $13.33 / pound

so what seems to be more expensive on the price tag actually ends up being cheaper; and of course other benefits come with higher quality of protein!!!
