I will continue to use Vega One despite what claims a big "consumer research" project had because it was research done by a questionable company that had no understanding of science. P.S.A. these Claims were from back in 2013! And I read an article with great references reporting the fear mongering that this company does and how this affects their legitimacy along with inaccurate understanding of science when they make such scary claims based on "their research". Claims of heavy metal... it's a plant based protein. Naturally they have what are called heavy metals due to well plants. These minerals and metals are present in all plants in miniscule traces due to biology of plants and plants absorption of things from it's soil. You'd get the same amount of "heavy metals" eating your daily veggies. Also, as a better way to explain, you'd need to eat a million servings of this in one day to get sick or poisoned from the "heavy metals." The claims were outrageous and didn't take into consideration of how much needs to be consumed for a human to be sick. This product will not make you sick unless you have an intolerance or allergy to one of it's ingredients. So be a good human and read the ingredients if you have intolerances or food Allergies. This is a plant based protein powder that keeps me full and has helped my tummy with the probiotics. It is soy free! Yes, it looks only half full when you get it because it ships and the power settles. It still contains the correct amount of servings of not more. I use one of these on a month as I use it as a replacement meal for my breakfasts most work days
