Protein Powder

BSN Syntha-6 Protein Powder

• 64/100 science score
• $32 price

Overview

Effectiveness is strong due to 22g protein aligning with ISSN-recommended 20-40g doses backed by metas like 2018 PubMed 29688559 (whey lean mass gains) and 2020 PMC7727026 (dose-response from RCTs). Safety tempered by general protein safety (no issues in dozens of RCTs per PMC6491698) but product-specific lead detection (Consumer Reports 2026) and lack of certs. Quality low from proprietary blend, no third-party testing, artificial additives. Value strong at ~$1.20/serving vs category $2.05 avg.

Key strengths

• 22g protein per serving matches effective MPS dose (ISSN 2017)
• Affordable at ~$1.20/serving vs $2.05 category avg
• Includes digestive enzymes (bromelain, papain) for potential recovery aid

Our analysis

BSN Syntha-6 provides effective 22g protein dose backed by ISSN and whey metas (20+ RCTs), ideal for anytime use. However, proprietary blend, lead contamination concerns (Consumer Reports), and lack of certifications reduce quality. Good value but opt for certified alternatives.
