Protein supplements are frequently consumed by athletes and recreationally active adults to achieve greater gains in muscle mass and strength and improve physical performance. All protein powders sold in markets of India, are claimining that they have adequate cholesterol content (5-50 mg/30g). In this study 15 samples of protein powder were analysed and the quantity of cholesterol was calculated and compared with the claimed. After analysis of 15 samples of protein powder that is S1-S15. Out of 15 protein powder samples, 3 samples that is S1, S2 and S12 were detected with the lower quantity of cholesterol as compared to claimed. The variation in the cholesterol was seen in samples S3, S4, S6, S9, S10 and S15 which have 1.6 grams more than the label claim of 70 grams.

Protein powders, claimed components, cholesterol content.
