Analysis

A 17 g protein serving can help fill moderate daily protein gaps without much fat or carbohydrate. Vitamin C and iron add nutritional value beyond protein alone.

The protein amount may be too light for users who want a larger post-training serving. Sodium is moderate and may contribute to light replenishment, but its source is not identified.

The larger container provides acceptable value for a flavored plant powder. Missing protein-source and amino acid details prevent a fuller quality assessment.

Who is it for
  • Plant-based users with moderate protein needs
  • People wanting a flavored low-fat shake
  • Adults seeking some iron and vitamin C
Best for
  • Light meal supplementation
  • Moderate post-training protein
  • Plant-based snacks

Pros

  • Useful protein amount
  • Includes vitamin C and iron
  • Low fat and moderate carbohydrate

Cons

  • Protein serving is lighter than many powders
  • Protein source is not supplied
  • Sodium source is unclear

Warnings

  • Plant protein may cause bloating in sensitive users
  • The iron amount should be counted with other fortified products
  • Sodium may matter for users following a restricted diet

Nutrient quality

75 High impact

A moderate protein amount and lean profile provide useful basic nutrition without obvious active padding. Missing protein-source details and a relatively light serving limit quality and dose strength.

.

Ingredient transparency

70 High impact

Nutrition amounts are explicit and no hidden blend is shown. Generic protein naming, missing directions, and absent flavor and excipient details limit full transparency.

.

Customer satisfaction

69 High impact

The aggregate rating is favorable, but it provides no specific experience evidence. The large review count gives the aggregate signal a stable volume base, while no detailed feedback is supplied to assess taste, mixability, tolerance, or recurring complaints.

.

Value for money

61 Moderate impact

A lean profile and useful protein amount provide acceptable value without low-value extras. Modest protein yield and missing source details make it only moderately competitive.

Report overview
Sodium · 310 mg OverallScore72
D Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB+ Value

The sodium amount is well suited to typical athletic replenishment, but its source form is not disclosed. No supporting potassium or magnesium form strengthens the electrolyte profile. The carbohydrate load is moderate, and the serving value is reasonable for the category.

Iron · 4 mg OverallScore46
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value
The iron compound is not disclosed, preventing a meaningful judgment of absorption or tolerance. No complete set of absorption and blood-cell cofactors is present at the required levels. The elemental dose is clearly disclosed but is too low for a targeted iron need. The serving is expensive relative to its iron contribution. The broader protein powder may still provide benefits beyond iron alone.
