Optimum Nutrition appeared in three under-$50 answers, but Perplexity mentioned it to reject the listings it found as above budget. That mention measures visibility; it is not a positive budget recommendation.

AI mentioned this brand most. One budget answer ruled it out.

In Recoscope’s November ninth protein powder snapshot, Optimum Nutrition appeared in eight of twelve usable answers.

Transparent Labs appeared in seven, but ranked first in three of four comparisons. Optimum Nutrition ranked first once.

Then we asked for options under fifty dollars. Three assistants mentioned Optimum Nutrition. Perplexity mentioned it specifically to say the listings it found were over budget.

That still counts as a mention. It does not count as a positive budget recommendation.

For brands, measure how often you appear, where you rank, and what the answer actually says.

These findings describe captured answers, not product quality.
