Analysis

The multi-source plant blend supplies 30 g protein from pea, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, and alfalfa sources. That amount suits users seeking a substantial plant-based training shake.

Tart cherry, turmeric, bromelain, probiotics, and black pepper broaden the formula, but their amounts are not supplied. The 410 mg sodium serving is high, while potassium is only moderate for a product considered around heart health.

Several source ingredients are named, which is more informative than a completely hidden blend. Still, absent doses for most ancillary ingredients make their practical contribution and interaction risk difficult to judge.

Who is it for
  • Plant-based athletes seeking 30 g protein
  • Users who want a multi-source protein blend
  • Adults not following a sodium-restricted diet
Best for
  • Post-workout plant protein
  • High-protein vegan shakes
  • Broad workout nutrition

Pros

  • Provides 30 g plant protein
  • Uses several protein sources
  • Contains no cholesterol
  • Includes a named probiotic strain

Cons

  • Sodium is high
  • Ancillary ingredient doses are missing
  • Potassium is only moderate
  • Heart-health alignment is limited

Warnings

  • The 410 mg sodium serving may not suit sodium-restricted diets
  • Black pepper extract may affect the handling of some medicines
  • Bromelain can be relevant for people using anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines

Nutrient quality

67 High impact

A substantial multi-source plant protein serving provides strong core nutrition. High sodium and numerous unquantified supporting ingredients create uneven depth and purpose fit.

Ingredient transparency

44 Lower impact

The total protein and basic nutrition amounts are clear, but most supporting ingredients lack usable doses. Hidden blend proportions, missing directions, and incomplete non-active disclosure make the full formula difficult to assess.

Customer satisfaction

69 High impact

The supplied average is moderate and supported by very large response volume. No comment-level evidence is available to assess repeated complaints or alignment with the intended use.

Value for money

49 Lower impact

A substantial plant-protein dose and broad performance concept provide some value. Hidden supporting doses and relatively high serving cost weaken effective quality.

Report overview
Sodium · 410 mg OverallScore68
D- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB- Value

The sodium amount is well aligned with replacing sweat losses during many fitness activities. Source quality and supporting-electrolyte absorption remain uncertain because their chemical forms are incomplete. The supplied data leave some sugar or additive uncertainty, while cost efficiency is reasonable for the broader formula.

Potassium · 240 mg OverallScore39
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The serving provides a moderate potassium amount from a plant-protein blend, but the chemical form is not identified. The dietary amount likely reflects elemental potassium without explicitly saying so. The cost is high for a dose that remains below the collection median.
