The description states "375% more protein than tofu", but I bought this product and it says 1 serving has 3g of protein, which is correct?

Algae products can vary hugely between crops and between manufacturer in protein/carb/fat content. If that's what you want, get a protein powder. Spirulina is used for other things. Although the fat content, and B12 are important for vegans, and they should be more specific about those. But don't rely on spirulina for protein. Rely on it to detoxify, give energy, and in some cases, reduce the symptoms of modern diseases like diabetes and bad cholesterol. It's more of an antioxidant and a body rejuvenator, not a protein drink.

And it reads "Spirulina has 2300% more iron than spinach, 3900% more beta carotene than carrots, 300% more calcium than whole milk, and 375% more protein than tofu."I'm led to believe its referencing comparable concentration measures. Not ounce for ounce measuring.

I believe that statement is making a claim of protein "by weight", it's not compared like apples to apples. An ounce of tofu vs. an ounce of spirulina is probably a better way to look at it.

Amino acids make up 62% of spirulina. Because it is a rich source of protein and other nutrients, spirulina has been used as a nutritional supplement. However, although spirulina contains a certain level of protein, you would need to take very large quantities to see any effect. Other sources of protein, such as nuts, legumes, whole grains, and meat, provide protein in smaller servings.more detail see belowhttp://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/spirulina

I'm sorry, but I do not know. I do not use soy products because the high levels of phytic acid in soy reduce the assimilation of certain vitamins (see www.WestonAPrice.org). Also, I do not use Spirulina for the protein as I also eat a balanced diet of grass fed meats, organic eggs, fruits & veggies, and certain whole grains. I personally use Spirulina for it's high Vitamin K content since I am not a fan of the high-Vitamin K foods.

It has three sources which contains all the essential amino acids. I'm not sure of the volume (grams) included per serving. You can find more info on their official website. Search "Plant Fusion protein" or go to http://www.plantfusion.net/products/plantfusion.

No clue re whole ground / cold milled. U might google it. Pkg says one serving contains 1800 mg of Omega-3. No percentages listed.

I just saw this question raised and contacted the company. They got back to me the very next day and directed me to this link: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Portals/11/Documents/Raw-Protein-Safety-Quick-Reference_2-7-14.pdfI will continue to use this product with confidence as I have been using it for years.

13 grams of protein per serving. I really love this energy drink. For some reason it's very compatible to my system.

According to the label the protein powder contains 5g of protein per serving. Serving size is 1 Tablespoon (6g) I hope this information is helpful to you.

According to the label, it is per serving. (1 scoop). Scoop is included. I personally always use 2 scoops, in a mixer bottle, and am very happy with the rich creamy taste. Best tasting protein I have found so far, expecially the strawberry.

I'm sorry I don't remember..didn't like the pea protein and went back to Garden of Life which I believe has 17 grams of protein.

The serving size on the nutrition panel is only 4g with 3g of protein. If you're like me and you're looking for a serving of around 30g of protein, this isn't detailed enough. (Due to rounding on the nutrition panel, 3g of 4g can be anywhere from around 60% of the product to nearly 90%.) Luckily, the manufacturer was very responsive to a request for a detailed 100g nutrition panel, and they included unrounded single serving numbers. So the breakdowns are: Serving size 2tsp (4g), 15.28 kcal cal, 3.24g Protein, .31g Carb, .31g dietary fiber, .23g water, .1mg Vitamin B2, .03mg Vitamin B3, 2.48 mg Calcium, .01mg Iron, 45mg Potassium, 51.2mg Sodium. 100g Portion, 382kcal Cal, 81.1g Protein, 7.8g Carb, 7.8g Dietary Fiber, 5.8g water, .01mg Vitamin B1, 2.53mg Vitamin B2, .87mg Vitamin B3, 62mg Calcium, .15mg Iron, 1125mg Potassium, 1280mg Sodium

310mg protein per 2.5mL. This product is referring to amino acid protein as in soy DNA, not a protein booster like for working out. Essentially this is an all natural no salt added soy sauce w/a wonderful flavor.

Although the package doesn't say ... here is some information that can be deduced. My calculations ARE NOT confirmed by the manufacturer, but are my best guess based on the information we have on hand. First, the mixing ratio is not 1:3 (as stated on another post) but 1:1 (or less) per volume. If you mix it 1:3 it would be very watery. At 1:1 (such as 1 T powder and 1 T hot water) you will have a product that is the consistency of whole milk or half & half. It more closely resembles whipping cream when 2 T dry powder are mixed with 1.5 T hot water. This is pretty much a mute point as many of us use this as a coffee creamer, in which case consistency doesn't really matter as the product ends up diluted in a cup or more of water. Second, one tablespoon of the dry product weighs 5 grams. Those 5 grams are 72% fat according to the label - which means 3.6 grams are fat. Fat has 9 calories per gram = 32.4 calories per 1 T (dry) serving. Another comment asked the manufacturer about carb count and based on the manufacturer's reply, calculated the carb count of a 1 T serving at 1.2 grams, which come from lactose. Carbs have 4 calories per gram = 4.8 calories per 1 T (dry) serving. That leaves only 0.2 grams for "other" which may or may not be protein and could include some sodium. But if that fraction remaining is only protein from the dry milk base ... then protein calories (4 per gram) = 0.8 calories protein. So here is my best guess of nutritional content, again, NOT confirmed by the manufacturer but good enough for my meal planning spreadsheet ... Per 1 T dry mix 3.6 grams fat = 32.4 calories 1.2 grams carbs = 4.8 calories Less than 0.2 grams protein = Less than 1 calorie Sodium content unknown Total calories per 1 T dry powder = 38.2 calories Since this is a little over half of the calorie content of 1 T of fresh whipping cream - I would guess the serving size is actually 1.5 to 2 T dry powder.

19 grams. You should be able to get an image of the ingredients from and amazon web site? A little less protein than the non organic. I think that this is a good product and reasonably priced. It seems like most other whey products have other unnecessary ingredients.

The one gram is the suggested amount per serving. That is the serving size. The actual can contains 8oz of dried and powered moringa leaf, which is a lot!
