Sport Protein powder 0.015% salt?

[jago25_98]

My whey protein powder tastes horribly salty so I looked on the side:

Have I done the maths right?

...Either way I was disappointed in what was in it. I chose Elite just because it was cheap and was supposedly easier to digest. I didn't expect added flavours, salt, calcium, enzymes, saturated fat (0.1%, unexpected?) and presented in a format outside UK regs; need EU recommendations and per 100g values so easy to tell percentages.

Well my protein has 65mg of sodium...3% USRDA, per 20g serving.

Sodium isn't bad for you. If you had no sodium in your diet, you'd die.
TOO MUCH sodium IS bad for you. But when you eat clean, that's a non-issue. Deli style lunchmeat often contains 20-30% of your daily sodium needs.

Also, when you don't buy a UK manufactured protein supp, don't expect it to have the UK RDA listed.

The reason your protein tastes like crap is because it doesn't have much artificial sweetners in it. A lot of cheap powders taste bad. Try EAS, MuscleTech or Designer Whey.
