Frequently Asked Questions

Is MusclePharm a trustworthy supplement brand?

MusclePharm receives a brand trust score of 85/100 in GoodSupp's independent analysis. The company was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Our research did not find independently verified third-party certifications for this brand. While this doesn't mean their products are low quality, third-party testing is considered a strong indicator of commitment to quality assurance. Note: MusclePharm has 7 historical regulatory incidents on record. These are factored into the overall trust score and are detailed in the violation history section above.

Is MusclePharm third-party tested?

GoodSupp's research did not find verified third-party testing certifications for MusclePharm. Third-party testing by organizations like NSF International, USP, or Informed Sport is considered one of the strongest indicators of supplement quality. Without it, consumers must rely more heavily on the brand's own quality claims. This doesn't necessarily mean MusclePharm's products are low quality, but it does mean there's less independent verification of their claims.

What are the best MusclePharm supplements?

Based on GoodSupp's quality analysis, the highest-rated MusclePharm supplements are: Glutamine Essentials Powder (score: 100/100); Select, Glutamine Powder, Unflavored (score: 100/100); Select Creatine, Unflavored (score: 100/100). These scores are calculated from ingredient quality, dosage adequacy, bioavailability, label transparency, and inactive ingredient safety. Scores can vary significantly across a brand's product line — a high brand trust score doesn't guarantee every individual product is top-quality.
