Analysis

24 g of casein provides a meaningful protein serving and may suit people who prefer slower digestion. The low fat and carbohydrate amounts keep the serving focused on protein.

240 mg of sodium can contribute to lighter replenishment but remains below what many heavy-sweat situations call for. No supporting potassium or magnesium is listed, so it should not be treated as a complete electrolyte formula.

Casein provides a slow-digesting protein option, but inactive ingredients are not supplied. Value is reasonable, though the incomplete label detail limits comparison.

Who is it for
  • A slower-digesting protein serving
  • People adding protein to meals or snacks
  • People who prefer a measured powder serving
Best for
  • Daily protein intake
  • A slower-digesting protein option
  • Protein nutrition rather than electrolyte replacement

Pros

  • 24 g protein is a meaningful serving
  • 1 g fat and 3 g carbohydrate keep the macro profile focused
  • Nutrition amounts are clearly disclosed

Cons

  • Too little sodium for demanding sweat replacement
  • Full inactive-ingredient details are not provided
  • Value trails stronger options in the set

Warnings

  • The milk-derived protein is unsuitable for anyone with a milk-protein allergy.
  • The 240 mg sodium amount should not be relied on for heavy-sweat electrolyte replacement.
  • The supplied facts omit the complete inactive-ingredient list, so sweeteners, flavors, and other potential sensitivities cannot be assessed.

Nutrient quality

84 Highest impact

The protein amount is meaningful and aligns with a dedicated casein powder. Missing source and amino-acid details prevent a high-confidence quality assessment.

.

Ingredient transparency

72 High impact

Protein and basic nutrition amounts are clearly disclosed. The actual casein source, full ingredient list, additives, and use directions are not supplied.

.

Customer satisfaction

67 High impact

The supplied average rating is very strong and supported by a modest review pool. No review text is available to assess recurring complaints or firsthand taste, texture, or mixability.

.

Value for money

60 Moderate impact

A full casein-style serving supports some price justification despite incomplete source details. The high serving cost limits value despite the meaningful casein-style protein amount.

The sodium amount approaches the athletic range but remains below the preferred level for sweat replacement. No supporting potassium, magnesium, trace minerals, or buffering compounds are listed, and the sodium source is undisclosed. The serving cost is relatively high for sodium delivery, while additive purity cannot be confirmed from the limited label facts.
