Product analysis
Pegan Thin Seed Protein 20 g Triple Chocolate supplies protein and its building blocks for nutritional needs. The missing calcium, iron and vitamin D amounts make its wider nutrient contribution harder to judge.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality20
The nutrient and amino-acid preparations are unspecified, so their quality remains unclear. The ingredient names alone do not clarify how the protein has been prepared.
Ingredient Transparency54
Most amino-acid and nutrient amounts are disclosed, but calcium, iron, vitamin D and cholesterol amounts are missing. Specific forms and preparations are not identified, limiting a detailed nutritional comparison.
Value For Money23
Value as a protein supplement remains uncertain. Individual amino acids mostly compare poorly on cost, with alanine more favorable and proline offering moderate value.
Customer Satisfaction67
Customer ratings are favorable. The review count provides a small base of feedback, without confirming health benefits.
Product Focus27
The many amino acids make this a broad protein formula. Possible brain or sleep effects are conditional, and tyrosine may be activating near bedtime.
