Bare Performance Nutrition Vegan Protein Powders claim to contain 21grams of plant protein and to provide 42% of the Recommended Daily Value of protein.

However, Bare Performance Nutrition Vegan Protein Powders are made with pea, pumpkin, and watermelon seed proteins, which have a lower “bioavailability” than other sources of protein. Because these are lower quality proteins as compared to other sources of protein, they cannot provide the same digestibility and usability in the human body as proteins such as whey or soy.

Bare Performance Nutrition Vegan Protein Powders make material misrepresentations when they state that a serving of the powder provides 42% of the recommended allowance of protein. The actual percentage is substantially lower.

Bare Performance Nutrition’s protein claims are both false and misleading—violating state and federal law—because the labels overstate the protein content and imply that all of the protein contained in the product is usable by the human body.
