Muscletech Protein Powders and Workout Supplements
Allegations: Deceptively using slack-filled containers for products
In September 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Muscletech for allegedly falsely marketing that its Platinum 100% BCAA 8:1:1 dietary supplements will promote muscle protein synthesis, ensure muscles are primed for muscle-building, and provide key building blocks of muscles when, according to plaintiffs, scientific research shows that the dietary supplements do not work as advertised and actually negatively impact protein synthesis.
