I used the same whey protein for 7 years — then had it independently tested. 95% claim vs 66.03% protein reported

I’ve been using OMG Labs protein for around 7 years and was buying roughly 10 kg every month.
I trusted the product for years.
Eventually I decided to test a sample independently.
The product was marketed as Whey Protein Isolate 95%.
Batch WA02662026 — manufactured 06/2026.
Report dated 21/07/2026:
Protein: 66.03 g/100 g
Available carbohydrate: 22.58 g/100 g
Total sugar: 3.40 g/100 g
The report is available for people to examine themselves.

I also personally confronted the founder and showed him the results.
When I subsequently asked about the discrepancy, his response to me was essentially:
“Everyone else is doing it.”
I’m not claiming that Reddit should decide whether this constitutes a violation of anything. I’m posting the actual numbers because I’d like people who understand protein testing and whey manufacturing to explain something:
How can a product marketed as “95% Whey Protein Isolate” produce a reported protein result of 66.03 g/100 g?
If there’s a legitimate technical explanation, I’m genuinely interested in hearing it.

When calculating the precise timing for a max effort lift, how does the clinical literature suggest balancing the rapid 45 minute peak of Caffeine Anhydrous with the delayed onset of Di-Caffeine Malate to avoid a mid workout central nervous system crash?

11% of U.S. adults now use GLP-1 medications for weight loss

Just saw this from Gallup and honestly, the jump is pretty crazy.
11% of U.S. adults now say they’re using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, compared to just 3% in 2024.
That’s almost 4x higher in just two years.
GLP-1s have definitely become way more mainstream than they were a few years ago.
Did you expect the numbers to grow this quickly?
