I had to bring myself to switch from ON powder to muscle tech grass fed, because they are the only brand to test with no lead consistently all the time .... Alot of brand have excessive lead levels it's a real problem. Pro taste amazing, no lead certified tested. Con doesn't mix as easy as some brands

Nutritech (very expensive now though) Clear Nutrition (price also went up substantially) - a tad sweeter than Nutritech vanilla but still tastes good. Honourable mentions would be Biogen ... MuscleTech is probably the best BUT it's crazy expensive

negative. Optimum Gold Standard Protein Shake was orange, at above 150% of consumer report's level of concern for lead, and recommend to limit to 4 2/3 servings per week. The Optimum Gold Standard 100% Whey is what was green across the board and recommend 1 3/4 servings per day.

well I guess we can chalk up the disagreement to lack of specificity. "Optimum Gold Protein Powder" isn't listed in the consumer reports article (unless I am blind, which may in fact be the case). There are two Optimum products listed: * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake - not recommended * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - recommended If I've missed one or miscategorized one I'll edit my post right away, but I believe I've got them listed correctly.

Careful - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake is listed under "occasionally" and their Gold Standard 100% Whey is listed under "better choices for daily consumption". Kudos on calling out Muscle Tech as having no limit on safe consumption. I missed that and grouped it with the rest of the ones in the same category.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is absolutely fine for daily consumption up to roughly 2 scoops for anybody reading. They have a massive market share and I feel like that’s what most are scrolling to see. There’s also only one that has no limit on safe consumption: Muscle Tech Thanks for clarifying btw.
