This week, we sit down with Brian Teach, Head of Product Development at 1st Phorm, to pull back the curtain on what actually goes into creating and formulating supplements for one of the biggest…
Brian TeachGuestJeffHostKyleHostWell, are we...
And this might be jumping ahead a bit, but, like, protein has gotten, quality-wise, so much better in the industry.
Um, so many great brands are coming out with great products.
Are we gonna see, like, a de-evolution of it because of the rising costs of protein? Do you foresee ...
us going kind of back to that old school protein era where a lot of companies are gonna start making more bubble guts protein because they're trying to cut some corners where they can save, shave some margin where they can, uh, 'cause the pricing's gets, getting so out of hand.
I, I think we might see some different types of protein hit the market, but I don't know that, you know, there's only so much, you know, whey is a byproduct of, of the cheese-making process, so there's only so much material out there to be utilized.
So I just don't, I don't see a scenario for any of these companies to be like, "Oh, well we could make a real dog shit product with this if we just did it this way."
Well-

Not to call out Serious Mass, but, and it's 'cause it had sweet dairy whey in it, right?
The lowest possible grade of whey.
And so my only point is like, do you think that we could start seeing some proteins that start listing that as one of their ingredients just purely from the cost perspective?
Uh, so for there, like you're looking at a product that's gonna be full, um, lactose, right? With, so there's some definite possibilities.
Hold on tight.
Bubble gut's on the way.
Your digestion's going to feel this.
Yeah
... you know, to ensure that it's gonna be, uh, tolerated a little bit better by the, by the guts.
