Straight answers
The questions people ask before they trust a ranking, including the ones that don't flatter us.
Still have a question?
Or spotted a number that doesn't match the label? Tell us and we'll check it.
Ask usPurity is protein per serving divided by serving size, as printed on the label: a 30 g scoop delivering 27 g of protein is 90% pure. That single number sets the tier — A+ at 88% and above, A from 75% to 87%, B from 60% to 74%, C below 60%. It is arithmetic on the nutrition panel, applied identically to every product, with no editorial adjustment. The full method, including what the score deliberately ignores, is published at /purity-tiers.
See the grade thresholdsNo. We do not accept sponsorships, paid placements or brand-edited listings, and no brand can buy a tier or a position. We do earn a commission when you buy through some links on this site, and it changes nothing about the arithmetic — the formula never sees it. If a product we would rather not recommend calculates to an A+, it gets an A+.
Read our affiliate disclosureProduct records are refreshed in batches from brand and marketplace listings rather than on a fixed schedule, so a listing can lag the newest pack — brands reformulate and repackage without notice. Treat our figures as the basis for a comparison, and confirm the physical label before you buy.
Report an out-of-date figureNo, and we will not claim otherwise: we are a data platform, not a laboratory, and we do not commission our own testing. What we do hold is FSSAI licence data on roughly 1,400 of our 3,700 products, shown on the product itself. Where a field is blank we say so rather than marking the product as failing.
How we check product dataQuite a lot, and that matters more than the score itself. Purity cannot detect amino spiking, because free-form glycine, taurine and BCAAs register as protein in the label figure. It says nothing about amino acid profile, absorption, heavy metals, taste or mixability.
