NO major bodybuilding supplement company, including Species has ANYTHING to do with the manufacturing of their supplements. They are all made in China the cheapest way possible. The reason companies invent fancy scientific titles like "triple filtered, super whammy, extra hydrolyzed, tri phosphate magic dust", etc. is because the FDA never could(nor would) spend the money to be able to verify such technical terms. The FDA only tests a VERY small percentage of supplements simply to verify that what's on the label is in the product. So if it says it has milk protein, they do the cheapest test possible to verify it has milk protein roughly in the amounts listed.
I went into this in a thread I made years ago, and in fact the Chinese have a bunch of shell companies where they change the name slightly from "Xinyao" to "Xinyao Ni" to hide the fact that the same factories actually make multiple supplements, yet use different flavorings to make them distinct. Do you really think the Chinese build a fucking separate plant to make Species and another plant to make Muscletech(or any other brand)?
Supplement companies pay the Chinese for the right to use certain terms like "Whey isolate" vs. "whey concentrate", but again the FDA would never run the shit through a mass spectrometer to verify, nor fly to China to count if the "triple filtered" shit went through the filter three times. It's ALL a game, it's ALL marketing. It's all cheap Chinese crap. They fill out an order form, and the Chinese charge them different rates to say different shit. The cheapest companies simply use the "proprietary blend" label, which is the cheapest one the Chinese offer. But it's all the same shit.
