Scam SUMMARY: It is our opinion that DL-185 currently used by MuscleTech Peptide 185 is a scam. Its study is conflicted and incorrectly designed. We believe the study actually shows that DL-185 is worse than normal leucine. DL-185 is just two leucine molecules bonded together;…

Not A Scam SUMMARY: Normally, we would rate KSM-66 a partial scam since it's just a fancy trademark for generic ashwagandha, however, the manufacturer has sponsored a number of public studies, upwards of 24, on ashwagandha to increase transparency, so we are going to give…

Scam SUMMARY: It is our opinion that AstraGin is not only a scam, but one of the worst ingredients in sports nutrition. The reason brands have to make such vague and generic claims about AstraGin is that the science is so poor and misleading. AstraGin…

Not A Scam SUMMARY: Normally we would rate Cognizin a partial scam since it's just a fancy trademark for the generic ingredient citicolin, however, the manufacturer has sponsored a number of public studies on citicolin to increase transparency so we are going to give it…

Partial Scam SUMMARY: We believe InstAminos are a partial scam. As far as we can tell, InstAminos are just normal instantiated BCAA's in the standard 2:1:1 ratio. BCAA's are great and should be used by athletes and those working out but there is no need…

Scam SUMMARY: We believe ProHydrolase is a scam. The sole published study shows little to no difference when using ProHydrolase. The other problem with enzymes such as ProHydrolase is that they probably don't work as consumers expect. They are designed to work at a specific pH…

Scam SUMMARY: It is our opinion that nooLVL by Nutrition 21 is a scam. The public data substantiating its claims, efficacy or safety are minimal and raise serious doubts about this product in our mind. More worryingly, it seems that nearly every product using nooLVL…

The reviews here solely reflect our own opinions, what we believe and our interpenetration of what ingredient brands claim at the time they were written. Did we get something wrong? Did new science come out that we need to add to a review? Want us…

SUMMARY: Nutrition Scam was started by a team of science focused enthusiasts who looked at a sports nutrition supplement label and had no clue what any of the trademarked ingredients really were. Are they safe? Would they cause allergic reactions? Is there any science at…
