5,159 ads from 12 protein powder brands in the Meta Ad Library, 4,096 running now.
12 protein powder brands have 5,159 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 4,096 of those were running when we read it on October 23, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Protein powder is bought on taste and a clean ingredient story, so the ads that work name the source, plant, grass-fed or bone broth, promise it won't taste chalky, and offer a modest first-order discount instead of a blowout sale.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

The scroll decides in a second or two, so the product goes in the first frame, in someone's hand or on someone's body, not after an intro. Video leads in this category.
A review, a creator trying it, a real buyer’s routine: customer voice carries a claim further than the brand can. Run several voices against each other and keep the one that sells.
A bundle, a first-order discount or free shipping turns interest into an order. 14 percent of the protein powder ads here lead with a discount.
