Naked Mass. 5 ingredients, no fillers
I bought the naked mass one recently and now not sure what to do ugh lol
Looking for a vegan mass gainer protein powder or a recipe that doesn't feel like I'm drinking cement. I'm currently using Gorilla Gulps mass gainer protein powder and I like it for the most part. I used to make my own mass gainer shakes but as I said they all basically feel like drinking cement, and I used to use the Naked Nutrition Naked Mass powder until they were revealed to be chock full of lead. Like I said I like the powder I'm using currently, but just interested in what else is out there
Not true at all lol. The CR test identified two of the 20 or so they tested as having unsafe lead levels. The Naked Vegan one is a pea and rice based protein powder. Peas, rice, and hemp are especially prone to lead contamination because they pull minerals (and metals) up efficiently through their roots. Guess where most of the US pea protein comes from? China and Thailand, both of which pea and rice plants are very commonly high in lead because the paddy soils are contaminated from past agricultural runoff and / or are close to other heavy metal industrial areas. Of course its better to source your own plants rather than rely on an industrial manufactured garbage product with zero testing.
I went through almost a whole 10 gallons of Naked Pea and Rice protein before switching to Whey Isolate. How fucked am I? Naked Mass Gainer seemed to have the highest levels by far. Different product but guessing the company can't be trusted.
I use Naked and like it a lot. You can select vegan proteins on the site so you don't have to go through all the others.
Seems to have been updated a few hours ago. The original article didn’t have that link and only mentioned the Naked Vegan powder.
