Analysis

The serving supplies 25 grams of protein with over two grams of leucine and a complete list of amino-acid amounts. Whey, collagen, brown rice, and pea protein give the formula a broad base suitable for a substantial shake.

Most greens, enzymes, probiotics, and trace-mineral ingredients appear without usable quantities, so they should not drive the purchase. The product also contains animal-derived ingredients and a modest amount of cholesterol.

Who is it for
  • People seeking a mixed-source protein shake
  • Active adults wanting vanilla flavor
Best for
  • Post-exercise drinks
  • Protein-rich smoothies

Pros

  • Twenty-five grams of protein
  • Full amino-acid profile is disclosed
  • Multiple complementary protein sources

Cons

  • Supporting blends lack measurable doses
  • Only fifteen servings
  • Not suitable for dairy-free or vegan diets

Warnings

  • Contains whey for people with milk allergy and animal collagen for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients.

Nutrient quality

81 Highest impact

The protein amount and amino-acid profile are substantial. Many unquantified extras make the formula crowded and reduce confidence in their practical contribution.

Ingredient transparency

56 Moderate impact

Protein and amino-acid amounts are detailed, but many added ingredients carry no usable amount. The crowded label and incomplete source quantities make the complete formula difficult to judge.

Customer satisfaction

44 Lower impact

Aggregate satisfaction data provides a limited-to-strong signal based on rating and response volume. No specific feedback was supplied to assess repeated complaints or intended-use experiences.

Value for money

73 High impact

The protein dose provides moderate value for a specialized formula. Comparable focused powders may offer more protein or clearer composition for the serving cost.
