Making Your Decision
When to Choose NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate
Value seekers who want the most protein per dollar with Informed Sport certification
NOW Sports delivers the best value in this comparison at $0.89/serving for 81 servings. The unflavored single-ingredient isolate is as pure as it gets. Informed Sport certification adds credibility. The trade-off is taste and aesthetics — this is no-frills protein at its most practical.
Strengths
- Best protein-per-dollar value — 81 servings at $0.89/serving
- Single-ingredient unflavored option for maximum purity
- Informed Sport certified with GMP-compliant manufacturing
Limitations
- Unflavored version has a bland dairy taste — best mixed into smoothies
- Lower protein per serving (25g) in unflavored compared to some competitors
- Basic packaging and branding lacks the premium feel of boutique brands
When to Choose Levels Grass-Fed 100% Whey Protein
Budget-conscious consumers who want affordable grass-fed whey without fillers
Levels offers solid grass-fed whey at competitive prices with clean ingredients. The lack of major certifications keeps it from premium territory, but third-party lab testing and honest ingredient lists make it a reliable budget option for those who want grass-fed quality without the premium price.
Strengths
- Grass-fed, hormone-free whey with no artificial ingredients or fillers
- Good value with multiple size options from 1lb to 5lb
- Third-party tested by independent labs with results available on request
Limitations
- No major third-party certification (no NSF, Informed Sport, or Labdoor rating)
- Smaller brand with less established quality track record
- Uses whey concentrate rather than isolate — lower protein percentage
