The bottom line
Labrada is a long-standing US brand with reasonable transparency and label accuracy on its Lean Body whey line. The qualifiers are real, though: its India-market SKUs carry no current independent certification, and some products use inflated scoop sizes that reduce the effective protein per rupee. A competent mid-tier import — just check the serving-size arithmetic before assuming it's good value.
Every brand in our database is scored on the same five dimensions, each out of 10, using the same rubric. Labrada's label honesty carries it; the lack of current India certification and value caveats keep it acceptable.
Labrada earns reasonable marks for transparency and label accuracy on its Lean Body whey — it's an established brand that doesn't hide behind proprietary blends, and its labels are generally honest about what's inside.
Two caveats keep it in the acceptable tier. First, certification: while some US-market products have historically carried Informed Sport, the India-market SKUs aren't currently independently certified, and no per-batch COAs are published. Second, scoop-size arithmetic — some products use larger scoops that inflate the apparent serving, so compare protein per 100 g, not just per scoop.
The Labrada range sold in India, grouped by use-case. Each tag is a positioning note, not a separate score, and the one-line take flags both the use and the catch. Prices are last-checked estimates — confirm on Amazon before buying.
The Lean Body flagship: a decent, label-honest whey blend. Verify the scoop size and protein-per-serving before judging value — some run larger than expected.
A high-calorie gainer. As ever, most people get cleaner calories from food plus whey.
A convenient ~20 g protein bar. Useful on the go; check the sugar and sugar-alcohol content.
Plain micronized monohydrate — fine quality, but domestic creatine costs far less per serving.
A flavoured 2:1:1; redundant once daily protein is covered.
Pure glutamine; recovery evidence in well-fed lifters is thin. A low priority.
Buy authorised — and check the scoop. Imported Labrada should come from an authorised distributor or reputable importer; verify the protein-per-100 g, not just per scoop. We don't publish discount codes we can't verify — check the official store for any live offer.

Good fit if you…
Like the Lean Body range, read labels carefully (including scoop sizes), and want a transparent imported whey without needing a certification stamp.
Look elsewhere if you…
Require independent certification or per-batch COAs, or want the best protein per rupee — domestic verified whey wins there.
Among imported proteins, Labrada is label-honest but uncertified for India; the recommended brands offer either certification or better value.
| Brand | NC score | Tier | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nakpro | 8.2 | Recommended | Independently verified protein at domestic prices |
| Optimum Nutrition | 8 | Recommended | Strongest 3P cert stack; better verified value |
| Labrada | 6.8 | Acceptable | Decent, label-honest whey; uncertified for India, check scoops |
| MyProtein | 6.5 | Acceptable | Good price-to-protein; UK cert doesn't cover India batches |

Our verdict
Labrada is a competent, label-honest import that just doesn't clear the bar for the recommended tier: no current India certification, no published COAs, and value that depends on watching the scoop size. If you like the Lean Body range and check the arithmetic, it's fine — but a verified domestic whey or a certified import gives you more confidence per rupee.
