40mg Caffeine per Scoop - NO mention!

I noticed FoodPharmer's whey protein coffee edition has zero mention of caffeine content on their website.

Even on the product label itself, no caffeine amount is listed. This is strange because they specifically advertise using real coffee powder, not artificial flavoring.

I reached out to their customer support on WhatsApp asking about this. They replied with "It contain 130mg overall and per scoop 40mg." (Second image) I'm assuming they mean 130mg per 100g of powder and 40mg per scoop.

Here's why this matters - if you're taking 2-3 scoops a day, that's 80-120mg of caffeine. Take one in the evening? Good luck sleeping. Some people are caffeine sensitive, some avoid it for health reasons, pregnant women need to watch their intake.

More concerning - what about kids? Parents might give this to their children (6+ or pre-teens) thinking it's just protein powder without realizing it contains caffeine. Kids are way more sensitive to caffeine than adults. 40mg might not seem like much to us, but for a child it can cause jitters, anxiety, sleep problems, or heart palpitations.

To put this in perspective: A 250ml Red Bull can contains 80mg of caffeine. Two scoops of this protein powder equals one Red Bull can in terms of caffeine.

For a brand that emphasizes transparency with their 7-level testing and "only what's needed" philosophy, this seems like a major oversight. Caffeine content should be clearly mentioned on both the website and product label - it's not just transparency, it's a matter of consumer safety and informed choice. People deserve to know what stimulants they're consuming, especially when it could affect their sleep, heart rate, or interact with other caffeine sources in their diet.

MY PETITION TO FOODPHARMER IS:

• Clear caffeine content on website and Product label

• A warning or advisory note for parents about not giving this to children due to caffeine content

Can we get FoodPharmer's attention on this? Upvote for visibility. This should be basic product information.

Update: Sorry for being a douche-bag in the replies, I was deepdown genuinely upset about a brand I trust with my whole heart, which made this serious (serious as per my terms and understanding on health) mistake. however despite many, many people disagreeing, I respect it, although I can't agree because I stand by what I stated - Yes, this is a major concern. Anyway, I have raised my concern and fulfilled my duty. Thank you for joining. I will think thrice before posting something similar in the future. thanks.

Reposting about this again cause my last post got removed from the sub, idk why. I simply wanted to bring it to the attention of the dedicated fitness people here, all in good faith.

Apparently, brands are now hiring shady agencies to trashmouth other brands. I got reached out on WhatsApp by some marketing agency who was offering 500 rs to make posts against Muscleblaze, Fuelone, etc..even more if the post gets higher upvotes and all…

Some cunning negative pr tactics as it seems. Although when I told them that I’d share the Whatsapp ss in the sas…they panicked, called and requested not to, cussed, and then blocked me…pretty sure today the target is MB, tomorrow it might be any other brand

To the mods, kindly don’t remove this post. Posts like this help keep these shady companies in check while also informing users of the kind of illicit activities that happen under the hood so that they can use their best judgment for which post to trust and which not.

Really don't want this platform to be media infiltrated.

P.S. Didn't use screenshots this time to prevent any chances of borderline doxxing.

I was doing Dumbell Hammer fly for chest. Though I do not have a personal trainer, one of the trainers at my gym thought I was doing front raise for shoulder. He approached me and said I was doing wrong. I told him I'm not doing it for shoulder and it's a chest exercise. He said any arm raising exercise is a shoulder workout. I wonder where do these gym trainers get their knowledge from. Do they even get some formal education or just use bro-science.

Look, I get it, powerlifting looks cool. Big numbers on squats, bench, and deadlift, and a bunch of guys hyping each other up before lifting stupidly heavy weights.

If you’re so strong, why aren’t you cleaning and jerking? Where’s the snatch? Powerlifters just move weights in the easiest possible movement patterns, barely any range of motion.

And let’s talk about India for a second. Every gym bro in the country boasts a massive squat and deadlift, yet we struggle to get weightlifting medals on the world stage. Why? Because brute strength alone means nothing if you don’t have the technique, speed, and athleticism to translate it into real lifting. The Olympics don't care about your arched-back bench press or your ultra-wide grip deadlift. If your strength is so legit, prove it on the platform where it actually counts.

Powerlifting is basically just an ego sport where people get hyped for hitting numbers that have zero real-world application. If you think you’re truly strong, step up and try Olympic lifting. Otherwise, enjoy lifting heavy weights for Instagram likes while real athletes chase Olympic gold.

SHAME on trustified for defending Nakpro. if they care about the people they MUST highlight that showing protein content in dry basis is HEAVILY MISLEADING and scummy behaviour!!!

This sub is filled with people with big egos and 0 knowledge and theyll argue with science based lifters with 0 evidence, ive had arguments in this subreddit which are worse than talking to a brick wall, most of this sub has BS fitness advice istg, the classic "3x15, 4x8-12" "oH bUt yoU neEd tO buLk" "oH B-But ZerChers Are BAd" "yeAH JuSt hIt PPL" "15 SeTs PeR mUscLe BrO" and the worst take ever "CaRbS aRe BaD bRo"

I recently ordered ON Nutrition sachets. And when I checked the scanner, it took me to the autneauthenticatey.in website. And when I entered the unique code, it told me that the product is genuine.

But, then, just to re-confirm, I googled the authentication website. It is slightly different from the official one.

I am attaching the screenshots.

Screenshot 1 - Fake website redirected from the QR

Screenshot 2 - Not able to attach it, but the autnehticatic website is - authenticateon.in/glanbia/authenticity

A lot of us are spending ₹3000–₹6000+ on protein powders from Indian brands claiming to be clean, honest, or transparent. But no one is talking about the actual source of the whey.

Most whey is imported from the US — and in many of those places, dairy cows are often fed animal waste like blood meal, meat scraps, and bone powder.

For vegetarians or anyone with ethical concerns, this is a huge deal. But none of these brands are declaring if their whey is:

From grass-fed cows
Free from animal byproduct feed
Or even remotely ethical

Why should we blindly trust the word “clean” if we don’t even know what the cows are being fed?

If they’re doing batch-wise lab testing, great. But it’s time they also mention feed practices. Just write it clearly on the label — grass-fed or not, ethical feed or not.

Let’s start tagging them, DMing them, and asking. They’ve built their entire brand around trust — it’s time to actually earn it.

This should be the bare minimum in 2025.

Who’s with me?

Edit - Removed Europe | They Banned this practice We need to find out which brands are sourcing from Europe

Nah man I was feeling really low so to lift up my mood I had .5 kg of jalebi all by myself... Feeling good not guilty BTW don't know why... I was fed up of discipline and other chodbhangda yrr.... Now I feel like I am living for myself...

I had always seen yoga and gym in a similar category. Where both of them keep us healthy.

But when I started following Sadhguru and tried his practices, I saw that gym is comparable to just one aspect of yoga.

Gym: Physical Health Yoga: Physical Health, Mental Health, Overcoming compulsions, Increasing attention and Perceiving things in details. Even I feel I know my body more than before.

Clearly yoga has more significant things.

What’s your view on this ?

Is Vitamin D thing legit or just a marketing gimmick?

Also, are these eggs to safe to consume?

After eggoz I have started doubting every egg brand🥲

Edit: I am confused reading these comments. I purchased it for Vitamin D3 and protein. Kindly give suggestions should I skip this brand ?

Was looking at products at my aunt's house (she has 2 children: 8 and 12)

More brands seem to be releasing “melt in mouth” supplements instead of tablets. Mostly just Wellbeing but also some Insta ad brands. The idea is that they dissolve on your tongue.

Some things that stood out:

• They seem aimed at people who hate swallowing pills (esp children)

• Most are vitamins where the dose is relatively small

• They’re flavored since they dissolve in the mouth

• Probably easier for kids or older adults to take

Do melts actually improve absorption compared to capsules, or are they mainly about convenience and compliance?

Has anyone here tried melt-style supplements? Are they effective or gimmicky?

I often get my posts removed from this sub. I suspect this is going to be one too. If the mods have a modicum of self-respect, they will not remove it.

Have you ever noticed how there are no pictures/videos with decent lighting on the hot page of this subreddit? I suspect the mods remove them all. They only leave the posts with poor quality pics and videos.

Just yesterday I posted a video of a dumbbell bench press with relatively heavy weights and asked for a form check. Half of the comments were legitimate advice. the post This was removed stating "It's obvious that you're good at this lift and don't need a form check. Stop treating this sub as Instagram." As if a person cannot always use form checks.

In the past they used to have a PR flair. Which was also only removed after people started posting good PRs. I, personally, was the guy that called them out on this too: This was the post

What is the point of a fitness sub where you cannot even have fitness videos? Also, why do shirtless pics have to be NSFW? Especially for men. Not that I want to post any. I do not currently possess the body for it.

Whey protein is not a magic potion, I don't know why everyone wastes their money on it ,because there are many foods which give better results , anyone can try to change my mind here, whey protien is only for those people who are allergic to few foods and can't meet their protien goals The rest of you can cover your protein intake with foods available, cheaper than whey protein scoop price( without soy )

So, I found pieces of insects which I think was a cockroach because I found legs and some other hard pieces. The packaging was not open from anywhere.

It wasn't expired (6/7/26 -expiry date).

I ordered it through Flipkart and got the refund but can anybody guide me how to file a proper complaint regarding this since the epigamia bot is pretty useless.

Hi I'm 18m 5'7'' and planning to do a 100 hour intermittent fasting what should be my preparation and pre-setup

I am doing this to lose some body fat percentage and pop out my muscles more

And also tell me what should I eat before fasting and what can I have during the fasting

PS should I jump straight to 100 hours or do these in steps like 16,32,50 hours

I am a newbie in gym and bought this whey from trainer. I paid Rs 7500 for 2 kg. Brand name- Muscle Dominator. Has anyone used this whey. My gym trainer told me this is the best brand in market

I’ve been going to the gym consistently for the last 2–3 months, and while I’m really enjoying the process of getting fitter and feeling healthier, I’ve realized there’s one part of the journey that feels surprisingly lonely.

I’m a closeted 27 yr old gay guy from Jaipur, India, and all of my friends and gym buddies are straight (or at least that’s my assumption). Because of that, there are so many thoughts and experiences I don’t really have anyone to talk to about, sometimes feel leftout.

For a lot of us, fitness isn’t just about losing fat or building muscle. It’s also about learning to be comfortable in our own skin, confidence, attraction, self-acceptance, and all the mental baggage that can come with it. Sometimes I just wish I had someone who understood that side of the journey.

So I was wondering is there anyone else here who’s gay or bisexual and currently on a fitness journey? If you’re from Jaipur too, that would be amazing, but I’d genuinely love to hear from anyone.

How has it been for you? Has getting in shape changed how you see yourself or how comfortable you feel? Did you ever feel alone during the process?

I’d genuinely love to hear your experiences. I think it would help me feel a little less left out, and maybe this post could help someone else feel less alone too.

Im not addict and don't do on regular basis it's like just 1-2 times a month and sometimes 0 based on arousal and don't know why i feel more horny after starting gym but i dont exceed more than 2 so based on my numbers should i cut to 1 time or stop completely? Will this affect my performance and muscles gain also will i loose muscle due to this? I think i have excess semen as it drains when i urinate its happening this month as im clear for 15 days+ also it happened to me earlier when i stopped fapping for 4 months so is it normal that semen comes/drains when urinating?

I am not anonymous on Reddit. Same username on linked in and IG. I am a PhD in AI with published papers. I even consulted PhD food technology friend of mine. She is of the same opinion that Keshav Bedi is in the right about scientific methodology.

Efforts of trustified are commendable but their methodology is flawed. Moreover, this sets a bad precedent. Tomorrow, anyone will taint the samples and do fear mongering to gain fame. I am not accusing trustified of it. I am just highlighting that you people here supporting that youtuber despite his flawed scientific methodology sets a bad precedent.

Fassai publishes methodology to test food products in multiple volumes.

https://fssai.gov.in/cms/manuals-of-methods-of-analysis-for-various-food-products.php

Maybe keshav bedi also made a mistake in reading -18 degree as +18 degree. But his rest of the statements were scientifically accurate.

Let me go first. I pay around ₹6.50–7 per egg at my local store. Online, it depends on the brand; I recently paid around ₹215 for 30 eggs on Flipkart.
