Scope: Shopping literacy · Yeh Bro System · supplements · companions protein per scoop · supplement label red flags.
Most tubs sell vibes. The label sells maths — if you do it. This is a drill: copy the table, fill two products, pick the less stupid one. Soft Amazon convenience hops at the end; criteria first.
TL;DR
- Protein: chase grams of protein per scoop and cost per ~25 g protein, not tub size flex.
- Creatine: chase grams of creatine monohydrate per serve and daily cost at 3–5 g.
- Proprietary blends that hide doses → walk away — proprietary blends.
- Live convenience examples: Muscle Nation whey isolate · Muscle Nation creatine monohydrate.
Protein scoop table (fill this in)
| Field | Tub A | Tub B |
|---|---|---|
| Product name | ||
| Serving size (g) | ||
| Protein per serve (g) | ||
| Serves per tub | ||
| Price paid (AUD) | ||
| AUD per 25 g protein | = price ÷ (serves × protein ÷ 25) | same |
| WPC / WPI / blend? | ||
| Notes (lactose, fake sugars, amino spiking vibes) |
WPC = whey protein concentrate · WPI = whey protein isolate — WPC vs WPI · lactose / isolate.

Red-flag spot check (60 seconds)
- Blend hides caffeine / creatine mg
- “Proprietary matrix” before the useful ingredients
- Protein math only works if you count free aminos as whole protein (be suspicious)
- Medical cure claims on a sports tub
