Anyone with a solid platform can make a lot of noise. Our blog has an article[1] that gets more traffic than you can imagine, and it's been part of the cause for some serious changes in a billion-plus dollar industry.

Never underestimate the power of the pen and some quality research.

I wasn't aware free form amino acid padding was a real issue. Do you have any idea if this a world-wide problem or of particular US-interest only? I bookmarked your site, thanks!

Thanks! It's world-wide, but I believe European labels are more strict in terms of having to explain what exact doses you are using of the aminos.

But that doesn't mean you can't lie, or get screwed by your raw material supplier. That's why the companies that actually follow the existing laws and test their incoming and outgoing product have been way on top of this and those crappy suppliers.

FYI - About to post a blog article in an hour or two that you'll enjoy. It's about the ongoing NY Attorney General supplement testing fiasco.
