What’s actually in the bottle?
Your label says 20 grams of protein. A retailer asks for proof — and the only number you have came from the ingredient spec sheet.
Labels are promises. Batches are reality.
Your label says 20 grams of protein. That number came from a spec sheet — the ingredient supplier’s, or a calculation from the recipe.
Then the batch runs. Protein settles. Flavors interact. A supplier swaps a lot. Six months on the shelf, and nobody has measured what’s actually in the bottle since day one. (Amino acids degrade over months in drinks — see how long amino acids last in drinks.)
A retailer asks for proof. Your own QA team wants a number they can defend. The spec sheet isn’t proof — it’s a hope with a letterhead.
Published prices: $150/sample · $125 at 10+ · $99 on standing contract.
The measured number behind the label claim.
Per-lot free amino acid verification. Send a bottle from the batch; get back the measured amino acid profile — the molecules, not a nitrogen calculation. Compare it to the label. Defend it to the retailer. See our guide to amino acid analysis for beverages for what the method measures and why it beats label math.
