Most of our products are processed in nut and soy-free facilities. However, they are packaged on lines that also package both soy and nuts. These lines are thoroughly disinfected and cleaned between runs to avoid any cross contamination. There are images on our website and Amazon product listings that include the most recent gluten testing. Regarding your question, we do not use ingredients that contain gluten, but we also test for its presence.

We generally recommend our Naked Shake protein since it mixes easy, tastes great and contains MCT oil which has numerous health benefits in addition to increasing satiation so you feel fuller.

We also recommend Naked Whey or Naked Pea but for both, make sure you're getting your daily value of vitamins and minerals such as adding vegetables when blending.

On our blog, you can find more information regarding can protein help preserve muscle mass while losing weight?

We do not sell any dairy-based proteins that are lactose-free. However, goat whey is known to react differently than whey from cow's milk since the lactose in goats' milk is different than the lactose in cows' milk.

Our Naked Whey comes from cow's milk and contains lactose. With a mild allergy, we generally recommend our Naked Goat, which has a different form of lactose that is easier on the stomach.

If you are looking for a vegan protein, here you can find our vegan line product: https://nakednutrition.com/collections/vegan-protein-powder

The best protein powder for muscle gain needs to be a complete, high quality protein that contains high concentrations of that valuable protein. There should be few additives, if any, and you should know the purpose of them.

Naked Whey can be a great choice for adding protein to your diet. Naked Casein is also great before bed to ensure your body has protein while you sleep. For vegans, Naked Pea is a great option.

We recommend our Naked Mass, which contains only three ingredients: Organic Maltodextrin, Naked Whey and Naked Casein or our Naked Vegan Mass which also contains only three ingredients:  Organic Maltodextrin, Naked Pea and Naked Rice.

Both have no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors. Also consider our Naked Whey and Naked Casein separately, in that way you will not have any maltodextrin included.

We generally recommend our Naked Shake protein since it mixes easy, tastes great and contains MCT oil which has numerous health benefits in addition to increasing satiation so you feel fuller.

We recommend reading our Best Whey Protein for Diabetics article.

In short, we recommend whey protein provided you have no issues with lactose. In that case, pea or a combination of egg protein or pea and rice protein is ideal.

We recommend that you speak to your physician before picking out a protein. For a little more background about protein powders and pregnancy, we steer people towards this article: http://mommi.com/protein-powder/

We always recommend speaking with your child’s pediatrician before giving them any new food items. Here's an article on the Best Protein For Children.

We use a third-party lab located in the United States to test our products.

Our processing and packaging facilities are all GMP certified. Silliker is the 3rd party auditor for this certification. Regarding stability studies, since we only sell powders and nothing in a solution, like a beverage, stability studies are not necessary.

We do not test for PCBs at this time.

The facilities where all the ingredients are processed and packaged do have FDA approval.

We do not send the official lab reports to customers, as we are prohibited from doing so by the lab.

At this time, our Naked Nutrition’s products are not NSF Certified.

We have opted for the Informed Choice Trusted by Sport certification. This is a monitoring program that certifies that a supplement product and/or raw material has been tested at least on a monthly basis for banned substances by LGC’s world-class sports anti-doping lab. The testing program is expensive but we are committed to making purchase decisions easy for athletes.

All of our containers are made of PET plastic which is BPA free.

There are no Naked Nutrition products that contain items on the banned substance list, and the facilities where they are produced and packaged never handle such substances. We're a fairly small operation and intend to keep it that way.

Yes, the cows are ethically treated, as they graze on pastures whenever possible and are never injected with growth hormones. Antibiotics are used only in life or death circumstances.

The gluten test can only detect gluten down to a specific threshold. This test detects gluten only when it exceeds 0.0005% of the sample. Since no gluten was detected, the result indicates that the product contains less than 0.15 mg of gluten per 30 grams.

In other words, while the test cannot confirm that the product contains 0% gluten, it does confirm that any gluten present is below 0.0005%. For reference, the FDA standard for gluten-free is less than 20 ppm, and our test results show less than 5 ppm.

All of our products that do not contain nuts are processed in a nut and soy-free facility. However, they are packaged on lines that also package both soy and nuts. The lines are thoroughly disinfected and cleaned between runs to avoid any cross contamination.

Our proteins and supplements are sold by weight and not by the amount of space they take up i.e., volume.

Some protein powders are naturally denser than others. For example, Naked Pea is denser than whey protein, which means the container may not appear completely full. Rest assured, every product is weighed multiple times to ensure you receive the exact amount listed on the label.

If we filled every container to the top regardless of density, some products would weigh 8–9 pounds and would need to be priced significantly higher.

Sometimes the scoop will settle during shipment. Every container is packaged with a scoop. We recommend taking a fork and sifting through the product to find the scoop.

As long as the outer seal is intact, there is nothing to worry about. In some cases, the inner seal may lift or come off when you first unscrew the lid due to how it is positioned inside the cap during sealing. This is completely normal.

There would only be cause for concern if you found protein powder loose inside the shipping box.

In a dry, powder form, whey protein is quite stable and should not degrade unless temperatures exceed 160° F. Our whey is heated to 163 degrees F during processing so you shouldn't worry about the back of a delivery truck.

Our products have a shelf life of two years, and the best-by date is printed on the bottom of each package. Additionally, we generally recommend that you store Naked Nutrition products in a cool, dry place like a pantry or a cupboard.

Our protein powders are extremely easy to use in baking. The powder can infuse some extra nutritional power into the meal, and it can often be used as a substitute for flour.

Our blog has a number of shake and protein baking recipes.

Our whey products tend to foam a bit more than most because they do not contain a lecithin. To combat this, we recommend blending all the ingredients of your shake first and then reducing the blending time to 10-15 seconds if you want to avoid the foam.
