Summary

In this video, Trustified reviews Amul's new whey protein, a product from the well-known dairy brand, Amul, which is not typically associated with whey protein. The review covers the product's lab test results, which show it meets the brand’s claims of protein content, with a high protein percentage of 86.66% per serving. The product is free of added sugars and melamine. However, the review points out the high price point (Rs. 2000 per kg), availability issues, and mixability concerns due to excessive foam.
