If buying small amounts it's always been a bit of a problem for certain ingredients, home rollers can adjust their bait for their needs.
I'm rolling my own this year after a very long layoff (pre-made base mix)
Ready rolled bait / base mix, how would we know the levels within? It will come down to trust, observations & results.

Are you just ordering unflavoured WPC from Sports Nutrion websites?

£28 for 2.5kg delivered is a great price.

I've always wondered in the Huel style meal supplements would be suitable ingredients. Always wanted unflavoured though which is an issue.

yep, just the once, unflavoured WPC 'instantized' less gelling imo.
As pricesd varied so much I was going to buy a kilo of h-gel from AA but 25g of Soya isolate does a similar job at 1/3 of the price.

Have you used that before?

Dave Moore mentioned against it in a recent Trakker podcast

which one?
The WPC or soya isolate? First time I've used sports nutrition whey.

I vaguely remember an article from 2010-ish where someone said that there is no place for soya Isolate in modern carp baits.
The trypsin inhibitor makes the soya protein unavailable but then you have the same problem with eggs- wheat gluten- semolina?

I make a fishmeal base with a percentage of Rod's original HNV milk mix.
However it's 2% isolate not the 20%+ of the late 1980s.
Functional, rolls well, gels, holds moisture.
