Consumer labs is such a great deal when you consider the 120$ or so per year it costs vs. buying a lesser supp for 30 or 40$ per month and so on

In the event this is helpful, in addition to using Kachava, my pea protein is from NorCal Organic. Everything is sourced from Canada, supposedly :slight_smile:

Yes, I’ve bought from them before. Good product.

It’s $69 per year, so it’s even a better deal than you thought! :wink:

Another negative data point for me regarding Nutricost:

I just got an email from Amazon letting me know that (a) Nutricost has been hit with a class action lawsuit for selling products as containing 420 mg of magnesium from magnesium glycinate when that allegedly wasn’t the case and (b) Nutricost settled and I, and others who bought any of the products in question, can get in line for a fraction of what may be left after attorneys get paid (among other options).

For those interested in this, the email from Amazon directed me to https://www.cohenmag.com/.

I submitted a claim. My Amazon purchase history confirms that I bought one of these in 2021 for $18.95.

From the complaint:

However, it is impossible to fit 420 mg of magnesium derived from magnesium
glycinate in two of the sized capsules Nutricost uses; magnesium glycinate simply possesses far
too low a concentration of magnesium to do so.

Nutricost prominently displays the total magnesium glycinate contents of its
supplements (the “Magnesium Glycinate Supplements” or the “Supplements”) – purportedly 420
mg of “Magnesium Glycinate” per a serving of 2 capsules, or 210 mg per capsule – on the front and back of each product’s label.

There’s also a photo in the complaint of the “Supplement Facts” label, which indicates that 2 capsules contain “Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) 420 mg”.
