About Informed Protein

Building Trust Through Protein Supplement Testing and Certification

At LGC, we believe informed protein choices should be based on science, not marketing claims. For athletes, coaches, and consumers, knowing that protein content is accurate in powders, shakes, tablets, and other supplements is essential.

That's why we created Informed Protein, a globally recognized third-party certification program that verifies protein label claims with accuracy and transparency.

Why Protein Testing Matters

Protein supplements come in many forms – powders, ready-to-drink beverages, functional foods, capsules, and more. No matter the format, misleading labels or hidden fillers can undermine consumer confidence.

Globally recognized as a leader in the field of dietary supplement certification programs, we've used our experience and scientific expertise and protein testing lab to develop a third-party protein supplement testing and protein certification program specifically for protein-based nutrition products. Our independent protein lab tests confirm that the protein amount stated on the label matches what's inside the product. This gives consumers and athletes confidence, while helping manufacturers stand apart in a competitive market. 

Our Science-Backed Certification Process

Informed Protein combines:

  • Protein Content Verification – Advanced testing confirms the actual protein content across powders, drinks, and tablets.
  • Adulteration Screening – We check for amino acid spiking and other common adulterants.
  • Manufacturing Oversight – Facility audits safeguard against cross-contamination and confirm strong quality practices.
