What this means

Elite efficiency — 40%+ of calories from protein. Lean meat, whey isolate, low-fat dairy. 94.5% density puts this in the Platinum tier.

Complete dairy protein (milk/casein), high DIAAS, counts in full.

Note: At 2.47g leucine per single scoop, this product sits below the 2.5g threshold needed to maximally trigger muscle protein synthesis in one serving. Common workarounds: use 1.5 scoops, or combine with another protein source in the same meal (e.g., Greek yogurt, eggs). More on the leucine threshold.

Notes

Single-ingredient micellar casein from US small dairy farms — no additives or sweeteners. NSF Content Certified; Naked publishes independent heavy-metal lab results. Leucine estimated from the dairy factor (~9.5%); clears the ~2.5g MPS trigger at ~1 scoop. Manufacturer panel read in a browser 2026-10-24 (30 g, 110 kcal, 26 g protein, 0 g carbs, 0 g fat, 20 mg sodium; screenshot research/label-verification/2026-10-24/naked-casein.png). A 130 kcal reading seen elsewhere is wrong for the unflavored product.
