Got this from BSN regarding Syntha-6 and some claims that peopel are making regarding it...
Recently there has been some misinformation and confusion on the Internet regarding the makeup of the protein formula in BSN®’s SYNTHA-6™ protein powder. Specifically, there has been false information regarding the use of filler soy proteins in the SYNTHA-6™ formula. This information is completely untrue and incorrect.
A possible source of this confusion is the inclusion of the word “Soy” under the ingredients on the SYNTHA-6™ label. This is simply an allergen declaration that the formula contains a food additive derived from soy called lecithin – a declaration that is required by the Federal Allergen Labeling Consumer Protection Act and which has always been disclosed on BSN®’s SYNTHA-6™ label.
Lecithin is a common food additive used as an emulsifier; that is, it helps the protein powder to mix and remain stable in water. Most protein powders that mix well in water contain this additive. It is not a substitute for whey or egg protein.
None of the protein sources used in any of BSN®’s protein products are derived from anything other than animal sources.
BSN is in the process of revising its SYNTHA-6™ label to make these facts more clear and dispel any customer confusion.
BSN is and has always been utterly committed to product quality, safety and efficacy. BSN® stands behind its protein formulas as products of the highest quality that consumers can continue to trust just as they always have.
