• The Indian market is filled with fake protein
  powder supplements, and it is important to remain
  careful. Fake protein powders contain a lot of
  useless and harmful ingredients and they can
  cause harm to the body. Thus it is important to
  be buy authentic and genuine products, even if it
  means they are more expensive.

Some ways to identify fake protein powders are

• Packaging Always check the packaging,
  bottle/jar, print quality, MRP tags, etc. They
  wont be of high quality if they are fake. If you
  notice carefully, you can observe a difference.
  It will look cheaper.
• Taste Fake protein powders taste different. They
  might have a different smell than the original,
  and might not taste as good. This is mainly
  because they contain useless ingredients and
  fillers, and are not really protein powders.
• Amino Acids Some fake products include
  non-proteinogenic amino acids like beta-alanin
  and creatinine. Always check if the product
  contains a list of the amino acids included in
  it. Some important amino acids are leucine,
  valine, etc. Leucine helps start muscle synthesis
  in the body and should be contained in the
  product.

• Mixability Fake products wont mix and dissolve
  well. They might even form lumps in the shake.
  Always check for the solubility and mixability of
  the product.
• Other things to remember are the texture of the
  product (it should be consistent and smooth), and
  how you feel after tasting it. Many fake
  suppliers give large discounts on the product.
  Many customers fall prey to this tactic. Always
  buy a product from an authorized dealer or site.
  Check the barcode on the site of the product.
  Also, go for known and reputed brands.
