Amway Nutrilite : Nutrition supplement rich in protein?

I recently came across one of the so called "protein supplement drink' when I was visiting a relative. This brand of protein supplement is known worldwide and very popular amongst consumers. My friends, relatives and even family members thought that this brand is 'trusted', just because it is well established and popular? Yeah right!

When I was checking out the ingredient list of the product, guess what? I found not only one ingredient which has MSG, but THREE! Well, most protein supplement powders either contains excitotoxins, soy, chemicals such as preservatives and flavorings. Besides, most people think that WHEY protein from most of the supplement brands are good source of protein. Yes, Whey protein is supposed to be a high quality source of protein, if the cows are either organic or free from growth hormones and antibiotics, as well as fed on pastured  non pesticide grass and not unhealthy GMO diet! And commercial Whey protein powders are not organically extracted or produced.

This protein drink product, has some of the excitoxins as well as the sugar fructose and other chemicals. Below are the ingredients of this product which contains MSG.

Soy protein Isolate 
Sodium Caseinate
Maltodextrin 

Does any of you knows how a random consumer could be tricked into selecting a product like this one? Simple. The company's reputation and branding of the product bottle 'Protein Drink Mix'. It's all about marketing effort and profit.

  1. Amway, sold tons of food products which contains loads of excitotoxins and toxic ingredients. Whether one can call it a trusted company or well estalished organisation, I will leave it up to you to decide what is best for your health.

    Meanwhile, I've just recently uploaded two more so called 'health' food products by Amway. I hope I don't bump into more of these 'toxic' products anytime soon.
