Why this scored 62/100
Organic non-GMO pea protein isolate — a legitimate plant protein with a solid leucine content (Babault 2015 showed pea protein equal to whey for strength adaptation over 12 weeks at ~25g/serving). Pea protein is naturally low in methionine so it is not a complete amino profile on its own; combining with rice protein would fix this. Swanson's house-brand manufacturing is Standard-tier without published third-party testing per lot or NSF Certified for Sport certification. Would move to Verified 70+ with a rice-blend to complete the amino profile, published heavy-metal testing (pea protein is a known cadmium sink), and NSF Sport certification.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.

Why did 100% Organic Pea Protein Powder - Non-GMO Unflavored score in the Standard tier?
Organic non-GMO pea protein isolate — a legitimate plant protein with a solid leucine content (Babault 2015 showed pea protein equal to whey for strength adaptation over 12 weeks at ~25g/serving).

Swanson's house-brand manufacturing is Standard-tier without published third-party testing per lot or NSF Certified for Sport certification. Would move to Verified 70+ with a rice-blend to complete the amino profile, published heavy-metal testing (pea protein is a known cadmium sink), and NSF Sport certification.
What are the strongest and weakest aspects of this product?
Strongest: Safety at 72/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling) and Sustainability at 66/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice). Weakest: Formulation at 60/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy) and Manufacturing at 58/100 (third-party testing, GMP compliance, and facility audit status).
