Brand dossier
MuscleTech
Iovate/MuscleTech has an India site and wide retail distribution. No current Informed Choice whey listing verified in this pass. A 2015 US class-action settlement covered older protein-spiking allegations without admission of wrongdoing — treat as historical context, not proof about current India formulas.
- Warning-level evidence on record pulls the score down from 100.
- Evidence confidence is 66%; two-source coverage is capped at 80%, so corroboration is still incomplete.
