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.

54 servings at about 25 grams protein per serving. Serving usage, of course, depends on protein needs :D

There are only 1 gram of Carbs per scoop (one serving). Depending on the liquid you use, this will add to the total. Also this is the most delicious of the Protein Isolates I have tasted. NO medicinal after-taste. Enjoy and buy with confidence.

Most of the reviews were About general well being, that it helped in that regard, and of course weightlifting! Being able to get in that extra protein without actually eating that much

revised formula has 24 per 33 gram serving. It used to have 28 grams. I called them to ask why/how they changed the formula but never heard back. Nutrition label has changed but ingredients label still only lists Pea Protein Isolate as the sole ingredient

Servings are about 1oz, and the container is 28 oz. I think most folks get less than 28 because the powder is so fine and it's easy to overload the scoop. I save powder and money by mixing a half scoop w soy milk, so I still get about 20 G protein and my powder lasts longer. Plus it's creamier.

18 grams of protein per serving its a 2 pound container its usually 36-37 servings. I am only doing one serving per day so mine should last a while.

It says 6gms for 1/4 of a scoop... so in reality it is 24gr for a scoop of protein

A serving is "1 Heaping Tbsp. - 15 g" -- there is "12g's" of Protein in one serving...

Intriguing question! According to the container, 11.48 mg, or about 8.2% of total daily protein suggested levels. BTW, this info is available on line.

It is only 2g protein per serving, but this veggie juice powder is not a "protein powder". This product is packed with probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants. I add 1 scoop of this great powdered greens to my protein smoothie.

2g protein per serving. It is not a protein supplement. It is a green supplement. It saves you the time & trouble of pulling out your green juicer, juicing a lot of greens & having to clean the subsequent mess. It is better to juice the greens yourself but I have given up - it is too much work.

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.
