Nutritional Facts
Verified
Result

Independent testing confirms that protein content (26g) per serving align with label claims

This ensures accurate labeling, supporting consumer trust in product efficacy.

Why is this important?

Purpose: Evaluates key parameters such as Energy, Protein, Carbohydrates, Total Sugars, Added Sugars, Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, Cholesterol, and Sodium.
Importance: These parameters provide a comprehensive view of a product’s nutritional quality, helping consumers make informed choices about their diet. For example, high saturated fats or trans fats can increase heart disease risk, while added sugars can contribute to obesity and diabetes.
Differentiation with Unverified Products: Verified products provide accurate, scientifically measured nutritional data, unlike unverified ones that might mislead consumers with incorrect labeling or missing details.

Amino Acid Profiling
Verified
Result

Verified as free from amino spiking, ensuring that each serving delivers a full spectrum of naturally occurring amino acids - essential and non-essentials.

The product maintains high formulation integrity, ensuring optimal muscle recovery and growth.

Why is this important?

Purpose: Amino acid profiling determines the presence of essential and non-essential amino acids in food, which are building blocks of proteins.
Importance: Amino acids are vital for muscle repair, enzyme production, and overall metabolic health. This test ensures food provides a balanced amino acid profile, particularly for individuals with high protein needs, such as athletes or those recovering from illness.
Differentiation with Unverified Products: Verified products ensure accurate protein content and amino acid balance, while unverified products may lack this information, making them less reliable for meeting dietary needs.

Heavy Metals Test
Within Limits
Result

Testing confirms the absence of detectable levels of lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

The product meets food and supplement safety regulations, confirming purity and safety.

What are heavy metals?

Purpose: Detects toxic metals like Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Arsenic, Mercury, and Tin, including Methyl Mercury. These can contaminate food through environmental pollution or improper processing.
Importance: Heavy metals, even in small amounts, can bioaccumulate and cause severe health issues such as kidney damage, developmental disorders, and cancer.
Differentiation with Unverified Products: Verified products ensure these parameters are within permissible limits, unlike unverified ones that might exceed safe levels due to poor quality control.

Aflatoxin Analysis
Negligible
Result

Extensive testing detected no aflatoxins, including aflatoxin B1, ensuring product purity.

The absence of aflatoxins, harmful toxins produced by certain fungi that can grow on food crops under improper conditions, confirms that the product meets strict quality and safety standards for safe consumption.

What are aflatoxins?

Purpose: Identifies the presence of Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), toxic byproducts of mold that can develop in improperly stored grains, nuts, and spices.
Importance: Aflatoxins are potent carcinogens and can cause liver damage with prolonged exposure. Testing ensures the food meets global safety standards.
Differentiation with Unverified Products: Verified products are tested to eliminate harmful levels of aflatoxins, while unverified ones may lack proper storage or quality checks, increasing consumer health risks.

FAQS
Whey protein is derived from milk during the cheese-making process. Given that 60% of Indians are lactose intolerant, whey protein may cause side effects such as bloating, acidity, and acne. In contrast, plant protein offers the necessary nutrients without these adverse effects.
Many vegan proteins have a chalky texture and a bitter aftertaste. POD Nutrition’s plant protein stands out by providing a smooth texture without any aftertaste. Available in delicious flavors, it transforms your protein supplement into a treat rather than a chore.
Unlike many protein supplements that use artificial sweeteners like sucralose or maltodextrin, POD Nutrition’s plant protein is sweetened naturally. The sweetness comes from a blend of stevia and monk fruit, ensuring a healthier choice.
