This very well could be a “legal” product

Looking at the incomplete data provided to us in Exhibit A, if this is a valid lab test with a perfect chain of custody, MusclePharm might not have done anything technically “illegal” per the FDA guidelines.

Creatine Nitrogen
These nitrogen atoms really throw off any protein calculations using Kjeldahl (which the FDA mandates)
After all, glycine is on the label, and per current guidelines, it does get counted as a protein. Meanwhile, according to Kjeldahl testing, the creatine and the BCAA nitrates would show up as “extra protein”.

So on a purely technical technical technical basis, you might actually have “40g” of “nitrogen based stuff” in here, which sadly qualifies as protein if reading the FDA’s guidelines to the letter of the law. This is all discussed in our original amino acid spiking article.

Well, I did not do my research in depth as this is a non issue to me. That being said, when this moves forward if it does, I'd like to see what lab they used, how much aq and qc was done, the actual results etc. I can run anything through some tests and have numbers fall out my bottom too. Was there proper a proper calibration curve produced from their spectrometer? Was there any blinds etc. so much to discuss with you folks about the actual science behind it all, I'm not going to waste my time on it lol
