Been so preoccupied on getting Natural protein powder(Currently only use Optimum Nutrition Naturally Flavored(Naturally flavored i know)) And i am wondering if i shouldnt worry about that so much.

Maybe there are other ones that taste better and can be just as good.

Thoughts?

    I wouldn't worry about it. Natural is not a regulated word, so pretty much any company can define it the way they want. Chances are it's not that different from other protein powders. Use other factors, like protein ratio and taste to make your decision.

    As far as calories/macros are concerned? Doesn't matter.

    Most of those words are used to attract people that prescribe to certain socialistic ideologies.*

    Natural is a marketing term. Even if applied correctly, something being natural vs. artificial does not have any bearing on quality, health, or safety. I would buy whichever protein powder tastes the best and has the best macro/calorie breakdown for your goal.
