ND Protein Powder?

I know this has been asked in the past, but I’m wondering if we have an update. Would Nootropics Depot consider offering a protein powder?
Just seems like there’s hard to find a company that does this same testing standards as ND that offers protein powder.
If it’s not on the roadmap, any recommendations for a true quality, whey protein powder that’s gone some kind of third-party testing?

Pretty saturated market but I’d also buy in a heartbeat.
Meanwhile, you can look at Thorne and Transparent Labs for solid alternatives that have clean labels and do testing.

Transparent Labs doesn't do any identity testing or amino acid testing of every batch. Just click on their COAs. It's just heavy metals and microbial. For a place calling themselves Transparent Labs, you would at least expect full amino acid profiling on every batch... but no.
Thorne won't share lab testing reports, either. They also laid off almost their entire scientific team when LVMH acquired them. All the people that had been there for decades focusing on quality no longer work there. Tread lightly with the new VC-owned Thorne.
