In response to growing consumer concern about heavy-metal contamination in protein powders, Wild Society Nutrition has released a new educational guide, “8 Ways to Ensure Your Protein Powder Is Free of Heavy Metals.” The article provides practical steps for athletes and health-conscious consumers to identify safe, high-quality protein supplements that meet strict purity standards.

Recent independent investigations have revealed that many leading protein powders contain measurable levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic, contaminants that can accumulate over time and pose health risks. Wild Society Nutrition’s new resource empowers consumers to make informed decisions about the supplements they use daily.

“Most people reach for protein powder to improve their health and performance, not to worry about contaminants,” said TJ Dillashaw, CEO of Wild Society Nutrition. “That’s why we built our brand around third-party testing and transparency. Wild Society protein is certified by Informed Choice and produced in an SQF-certified facility, so our customers know they’re fueling their bodies with clean, trustworthy ingredients.”

Highlights from the New Wild Society Nutrition Guide

1. Look for third-party heavy-metal testing Choose brands that publish batch-specific lab results for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. Wild Society Nutrition’s protein powder blends are third-party tested and Informed Choice certified.

2. Check for reputable certification and manufacturing standards The guide outlines key certifications to look for, including:

• Informed Choice Certification — Globally recognized program testing for 285+ banned or harmful substances.
• NSF Certified for Sport® — Trusted by major sports leagues to verify purity and label accuracy.
• USP Verified (U.S. Pharmacopeia) — Confirms ingredient potency, purity, and GMP compliance.
• cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) — Ensures consistent, FDA-audited production quality.
• SQF (Safe Quality Food) Certification — One of the most rigorous global food-safety standards.

3. Evaluate ingredient sourcing & protein type Plant-based proteins like pea or rice are more prone to absorbing metals from soil. Look for sourcing transparency and soil-testing data from the manufacturer.

4. Understand serving size & raw material volume Larger serving sizes can increase exposure to contaminants. The guide encourages consumers to evaluate scoop sizes and protein concentration.

5. Seek clear additive disclosure Choose simple ingredient lists with minimal sweeteners or flavor additives; cleaner formulations reduce contamination risk.

6. Know the safety thresholds Consumers should ensure that lead levels are below California’s Prop 65 limit of 0.5 µg/day, the same benchmark used by Consumer Reports in its protein safety testing, per serving.

7. Use moderation and whole-food protein sources Protein powders should complement, not replace, a nutrient-rich diet of lean meats, eggs, fish, legumes, and dairy.

8. Stay up to date on certifications and recalls Wild Society encourages consumers to regularly check:

• FDA Recall Database — www.fda.gov/safety/recalls
• Consumer Reports and Labdoor for independent alerts and reviews.

Wild Society Nutrition’s protein powders are formulated to exceed current safety benchmarks, combining rigorous testing with clean ingredients designed to optimize recovery, strength, and longevity.

“We believe clean fuel builds stronger athletes and a more transparent industry,” Dillashaw added. “Our customers deserve to know exactly what’s in their supplements and where they come from. We want Wild Society to set the standard for honesty and quality in sports nutrition.”
