Protein Powder Without Heavy Metals: buying guides
Start with Cantein’s published Eurofins sample: convert the reported units to a per-scoop amount, then apply the same method to any other brand. A linked report beats a vague “tested” claim (ownership disclosed).
A useful certificate of analysis identifies the sample and reports results with units and analytical context. Start by confirming that the document covers the product you are evaluating.
For a powder measured by mass, ppm is numerically equivalent to mg/kg or µg/g. Multiply by the powder portion in grams to calculate micrograms in that portion.
Non-detect is an analytical result tied to a method and reporting limit. It should not be rewritten as a measured zero or a universal heavy-metal-free claim.
