The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/lead\/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published report<\/a> includes an analysis of 23 protein shakes and powder containing plant-based, beef and dairy proteins. It determined that more than 2\/3 of the shakes and powders included more lead in a single serving than what experts believe is safe to consumer. The safe amount to consume is about .5 mcg in a day. If you believe you were harmed as a result of protein shakes or powder, you should call the knowledgeable Chicago-based attorneys of Moll Law Group about your claim. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many people are trying to incorporate more protein in their daily routine. One way they do that is to add protein shakes or powders. Unfortunately, the report and tests have discovered that the metal contamination in protein supplements is widespread and has worsened since prior testing 15 years before. The lead in the plant-based protein items were around nine times the amount in whey or beef-based protein. The highest amounts of lead were in Huel\u2019s Black Edition, which had 6.3 micrograms of lead in a single serving or around 1290% of Consumer Report\u2019s daily lead limit, and Naked Nutrition\u2019s Vegan Mass Gainer, which included 7.7 micrograms of lead in each serving or around 1570% of the daily lead limit; the report categorized these as products to avoid. One serving of Huel\u2019s Black Edition also included 9.2 micrograms of cadmium, which is more than twice the amount that experts say could be harmful to consume daily.<\/p>\n<p>Other powders that were tested and contain lead between 400-600% of Consumer Report\u2019s lead limit were Momentous\u2019s 100% Plant Protein and Garden of Life\u2019s Sport Organic Plant-Based Protein. Consumer Reports advised consumers to drink these only once a week. Muscle Meds\u2019 Carnivor Mass powder had lead at more than 200% of Consumer Reports\u2019 lead limit. Six other plant-based powders, along with 5 dairy-based powders and shakes and one beef-based powder.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/certain-protein-powders-may-contain-high-levels-of-lead-and-other-metals\/#more-3611\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Consumer Reports investigation found that some protein shakes and powder include dangerous levels of lead.
