eli5 how ingredients are even distributed throughout supplements

111 views

Let’s say my preworkout powder for example contains 300mg caffeine, 3g creatine, 4g citrulline per scoop for example. How does the manufacture ensure that the ingredients are infact distributed that way?

It’s just thorough mixing and the law of averages. But the law of averages becomes increasingly accurate as sample size gets bigger, and the supplements are ground into such a fine powder that there are a huge number of particles in each capsule.

In true eli5 terms: each ingredient is powdered and mixed thoroughly together, meaning there are a huge number of particles of each in each capsule. It would be extremely statistically unlikely for that number of particles to vary substantially from the average of the whole mixture

It’s actually not perfectly distributed. The label states the average not necessarily the exact contents of every scoop, just a close approximation. For nutrition purposes, this is good enough. A gram or two of protein out of place won’t matter much.

That being said, the manufacturer does mix the powders reasonably well and if you’re worried you can stir or shake the container between uses. This should make the mix more uniform.
