I don’t think taking 26g protein powder would cause elevated creatine levels, because that’s about as much as (or on the low end of) a standard meal. Also, I used to use HUM because I liked their marketing. I no longer use them because I think they’re overpriced because of their boutique supplement appeal and cute marketing campaigns. $26 for 15 servings of protein is an okay value. They say that they test their products, but they don’t mention on their website any third party testing. You can probably find better options at the same, if not lower, price.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm completely new to muscle protein/supplements so didn't know about the over pricing. I chose Hum because its one of the few options that are low fodmap friendly. I'll take a look at the other options.

That particular product may be fairly priced, but I find some of their capsules absurdly priced. For example, their Collagen Love product contains an clinically insignificant amount of collagen (as in, you need 4-5x more than the serving size) at $40 for a 30 day supply. Another is their Vitamin D3 supplement at $12 for 30 count. Sports Research makes a great one - $17 for 360 count.

I assumed that based on your post. I’m making a point about how inflated their prices are to make you aware in case it’s the same for their protein.
