Dragon Pharma ISOPHORM® - Whey Protein Isolate

Six-dimension breakdown

Why this scored 60/100

Dragon Pharma Isophorm is marketed as a hydrolyzed whey protein isolate delivering 25 g protein per serving. The base protein — hydrolyzed whey isolate — is a well-supported ingredient with strong RCT support for post-workout muscle protein synthesis, and 25 g/serving hits the standard muscle protein synthesis threshold cleanly. The core deductions are on transparency and manufacturing documentation: Dragon Pharma is a bodybuilder-facing brand whose overall documentation regime does not match transparent-label brands like NutraBio (no published per-lot COAs at the level of best-in-class, less rigorous third-party testing disclosure). The 'hydrolyzed' claim needs verification — much of what is marketed as hydrolyzed whey in the sports space is actually blended (partial hydrolysate plus intact isolate); without full label disclosure of the hydrolysis percentage and molecular weight profile, the claim is directionally accurate but under-specified. Safety is fine at label doses. A defensible Standard-tier pick if you prefer the flavor and price; better-documented isolates exist at similar price points.

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.
