A page signed by the SNL Team is a record of what a manufacturer publishes, not a clinical opinion about what a product does. The desk transcribes the Supplement Facts panel, works out the serving arithmetic, checks the claim against the research for that ingredient, and links the source so you can repeat the work.
That distinction matters enough to put two names on the site. Sumita Bhatti sets the method and interprets evidence. The desk applies it consistently and does not borrow her credentials to make a label transcription sound like a clinical verdict.
It does not assign an effectiveness score to a product nobody here has tested. It does not describe a label transcription as a review. It does not quote a price it has not checked, or repeat a manufacturer’s own marketing sentence as though it were a finding. Where a figure is missing, the page records that it is missing rather than estimating it.
Commercial relationships are kept out of this entirely. An affiliate link never decides whether a product is covered or how a panel is described — see the affiliate disclosure for the full position.
Labels get reformulated, manufacturers move pages and figures go stale. If something here no longer matches the product in front of you, send the page address and what differs through the contact page. Factual corrections are checked against the manufacturer source and updated with a fresh review date, and a correction is never made quietly when it changes a conclusion.
The UK’s value-brand creatine, reviewed against what creatine research actually shows. One ingredient, the right 3 g dose, a serving that adds up, and a banned-substance testing claim — at around half the price of the big-name tubs when it is on offer. The small high-street packs are the exception.
The other big UK value creatine, reviewed against what creatine research actually shows. One ingredient and one of the lowest prices per 100 g we have seen — but the serving on the pack is bigger than the 3 g the evidence and the label claim are based on, so you can make it last longer than it says.
The UK’s value-brand vegan protein, reviewed against what the plant-protein research actually shows. About 24 g of pea and fava bean protein per 30 g scoop, little salt and a short ingredient list — at roughly half the price per gram of Optimum Nutrition’s plant protein. The one caution is fava bean, for anyone with G6PD deficiency.
The most completely labelled whey we have looked at, and the one that makes the banned-substance claim the big brands only half-make. It publishes every macro and all nineteen amino acids per scoop — and charges about what the value brands do.
The UK price benchmark for whey, and the number every other tub should be measured against. A three-item label, £1.10 a serving on the brand’s own page, and a protein-content certification most rivals do not carry — set against a headline figure that flatters the range.
The UK’s value-brand casein, reviewed against what the protein research actually shows. About 23 g of slow-digesting milk protein in a 30 g scoop, a short ingredient list and a price per gram of protein well below the big brands — but the bedtime benefit it is sold on is mostly just extra protein.
