How to buy protein powder without getting scammed

Label checks, serving math, and red flags for whey and local blends sold in Pakistan.

Protein per scoop, not hype

Divide protein grams by scoop size (and by price). Cheap tubs with 15g protein per scoop rarely win long-term.

Look for batch / lot numbers and a clear manufacturer address — not just a fancy logo.

Whey types in plain Urdu-English

Concentrate: good starter, more lactose.

Isolate: cleaner, better if dairy sits heavy.

Blend / mass gainers: higher calories — only if you struggle to eat enough.

Storage & authenticity

Seal the tub after every scoop; humidity ruins texture fast in monsoon months.

Buy from trusted sellers with clear return policies. On SastaGym, pay full advance, then verify seals on delivery — refuse damaged packaging and contact support immediately.
