Sources

GNC.com direct fetches were bot-redirected; powder nutrition from GNC.com Rich Chocolate listings (1 heaping scoop: 180 kcal, 25 g protein, 3 g fat, 18 g carbs, 8 g fiber, 290 mg sodium) as reproduced in search-result snippets. Gram weight of the scoop not published in sources found, so serving_size_g and protein_pct_by_weight are null. Sugar shown as 4 g on some listings but not confirmed for the same label version, so null. GNC listings show two ingredient-list versions (one with milk and coconut allergens, one with milk and soy); only Milk listed as common to both. Sweeteners from one listing. Informed Choice certification applies to RTD only per certifier list, so none listed for the powder. Price not confirmed. The clinical-study claim in the task brief was not verified. VERIFIER 2026-10-14: protein_sources set to null (empty list, not confirmed).
