Redmond Roots Protein is Informed Protein Certified: What It Means for You

When you buy a protein powder, you should be able to trust that you're getting exactly what it says on the label.

That sounds obvious. But unfortunately, it's not always the case.

A survey of protein supplements sold in the United States found that 21% of products tested contained less protein than their labels claimed. Some products contained a lot less. 

That's one reason we're excited to share that Redmond Roots Protein Powder has earned Informed Protein Certification, an independent third-party certification that verifies the amount of protein in a product matches the amount listed on its label.

In other words, when our label says there's 23 grams of protein in a serving, you know you're getting 23 grams of protein.

How Did Redmond Roots Protein Earn Certification?

The certification process included:

• A review of our formulas, ingredients, and product labels

• An assessment of manufacturing quality systems and procedures

• Testing of at least three separate production batches

• Verification of total protein content

• Testing for ingredients that can falsely boost protein measurements 

• Heavy metal and pesticide testing

The Work Doesn't Stop After Certification

One of the things we appreciate most about the Informed Protein program is that certification isn't a one-time event.

To maintain certification, products undergo ongoing blind testing, and manufacturing facilities and quality systems are regularly evaluated.

Another Layer of Confidence: Informed Choice Certification

In addition to earning Informed Protein Certification, Redmond Roots Protein is also certified by Informed Choice, another respected third-party certification program that tests supplements for banned and unsafe substances and reviews manufacturing quality standards.

We've written a separate article that explains what Informed Choice certification means and why it matters for athletes or anyone who wants to be sure their supplements are safe.
