Analysis

Twelve grams of protein, 1.6 g glycine, magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, vitamins, and several amino acids create a substantial meal-support base. Methylfolate and methylcobalamin are good form choices, while vitamin D is notably low.

Broccoli, watercress, pomegranate, prune, green tea, NAC, methionine, glutamine, taurine, and tyrosine broaden antioxidant and metabolic support. Most specialty ingredients are modestly dosed, so their combined role matters more than any single component.

The powder requires mixing and provides only a limited number of servings at a premium cost. It fits users following a practitioner-designed elimination or nutrition program, not shoppers seeking a simple protein powder or multivitamin.

Who is it for
  • Adults using a structured nutrition program
  • Users seeking fortified rice protein
  • People wanting protein with broad micronutrients
Best for
  • Nutrient-dense shake support
  • Adding protein and glycine
  • Practitioner-guided elimination diets

Pros

  • Provides 12 g protein
  • Includes 1.6 g glycine
  • Uses methylfolate and methylcobalamin
  • Meaningful magnesium and potassium
  • Broad antioxidant ingredient mix

Cons

  • Premium serving cost
  • Only a limited number of servings
  • Vitamin D amount is very low
  • Most specialty amino acids are modestly dosed
  • Complex formula is difficult to personalize

Warnings

  • Potassium and magnesium amounts require review in people with impaired kidney function.
  • Chromium may lower blood glucose and can add to the effect of diabetes medicines.
  • Retinyl palmitate is preformed vitamin A and needs attention during pregnancy and with liver conditions.
  • Green tea extract and multiple botanicals may interact with medicines despite their modest amounts.

Nutrient quality

72 High impact

Methylfolate, methylcobalamin, citrate minerals, and N-acetyl cysteine support good form quality. Protein and glycine are meaningful, but many amino acids, botanicals, and specialty actives are modest.

.

Ingredient transparency

73 High impact

Most actives have amounts, but composite rice-protein and polyphenol ingredients are not fully itemized. Serving count is available, but complete preparation and daily use directions are not supplied.

.

Customer satisfaction

65 High impact

The aggregate rating is strong and supported by limited rating volume. No specific feedback was supplied to judge repeated complaints or fit with the intended use.

.

Value for money

31 Situational impact

The broad formula does not fully justify the very high asking price. Each serving is costly relative to the depth of its specialty actives.

Report overview
Alanine · 350 mg OverallScore79
A- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

The 350 mg L-Alanine amount is above the collection median. L-Alanine is clearly identified and listed separately, although free-form status is not stated. Neutral value is appropriate because alanine is secondary to the broader formula.

C- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Dipotassium phosphate is clearly disclosed but is more useful as an electrolyte and buffer than as a primary bone source. The 290 mg dose is targeted and comes in an adjustable powder serving. A very high serving cost results in poor phosphorus-specific value.

B+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Magnesium sulfate provides a clearly identified sulfur source in a fast-dispersing powder. The sulfur amount is limited to maintenance support rather than a substantial dose. A luxury-level serving cost makes it poor value for sulfur alone.
