Analysis

The powder provides 24 g of protein in 150 calories, with 6 g of carbohydrate and 3.5 g of fat. That is a workable everyday shake profile, although it is not especially lean.

Potassium is listed at 190 mg and sodium at 170 mg, leaving little mineral advantage for heart-focused use. The label includes 170 mg of calcium, but does not identify the protein blend or the forms of its electrolytes.

Most of the practical value comes from the protein rather than from cardiovascular support. It suits users seeking a flavored shake who do not need exhaustive ingredient disclosure or a high-potassium formula.

Who is it for
  • People seeking a flavored protein powder for routine use
  • Users who prefer a moderate calorie serving
Best for
  • Daily protein supplementation
  • A vanilla shake with moderate carbohydrates

Pros

  • Supplies 24 g of protein
  • Provides 170 mg of calcium
  • Keeps calories moderate

Cons

  • Does not name the protein sources
  • Potassium is modest at 190 mg
  • Contains 3.5 g of fat and 50 mg of cholesterol
  • Has little targeted cardiovascular coverage

Nutrient quality

78 High impact

The protein amount is meaningful and the macronutrient profile remains reasonably efficient. Undisclosed protein sources and mineral forms limit quality assessment, while potassium is modest.

Ingredient transparency

54 Moderate impact

The nutrition panel clearly states protein, macronutrient, sodium, and potassium amounts. The underlying protein ingredients, serving directions, and non-active ingredients are missing from the supplied details.

Customer satisfaction

62 Moderate impact

The supplied average rating is very strong and is supported by small review count. No detailed feedback is available to assess repeated complaints or purpose-specific experiences.

Value for money

72 High impact

A meaningful protein serving provides fair value. The smaller package, higher qualitative serving cost, and limited ingredient disclosure reduce competitiveness.

Report overview
Sodium · 170 mg OverallScore55
D Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB- Value

The sodium amount is clearly labeled but too low for most athletic replenishment needs. Potassium adds electrolyte breadth, although its form and the sodium source are unspecified. Moderate carbohydrate content and a protein-focused cost reduce its appeal as a dedicated hydration option.

Potassium · 190 mg OverallScore32
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The 190 mg potassium amount offers moderate support, but the chemical source is not identified. Its nutrition-panel context likely indicates elemental potassium without providing compound details. A high serving cost makes the protein powder inefficient as a potassium supplement.
