Analysis

The powder supplies 12 grams of protein, glycine, alanine, methionine, lysine, cysteine, taurine, and several plant extracts. Vitamin C, natural-form vitamin E, methylfolate, methylcobalamin, zinc, magnesium, and potassium broaden the nutrient base.

Many botanicals and amino acids are present in small amounts, reducing their likely individual contribution. Potassium and broccoli appear in repeated entries, while beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate are both listed at substantial amounts, creating label ambiguity.

The serving cost is very high for a modest-protein powder. It may fit users specifically directed toward this complex formula, but simpler protein and micronutrient products are easier to assess.

Who is it for
  • Adults specifically seeking a complex nutrition powder
  • Users wanting protein with plant extracts
  • People able to review overlapping vitamin A and potassium intake
Best for
  • Broad powdered nutrition
  • Mixed amino-acid intake
  • Protein with antioxidant ingredients

Pros

  • Provides 12 grams of protein
  • Includes glycine and several amino acids
  • Uses methylfolate and methylcobalamin
  • Adds pomegranate, broccoli, and decaffeinated green tea

Cons

  • Serving value is poor
  • Many ingredients are lightly dosed
  • Several label entries are duplicated or ambiguous
  • Protein amount is modest for the serving

Warnings

  • Verify the true preformed vitamin A amount before use during pregnancy
  • The repeated potassium entries should be clarified for users with kidney disease or potassium-restricted diets
  • Green tea extract may retain trace caffeine despite being decaffeinated

Nutrient quality

72 High impact

Several well-regarded forms support good ingredient quality. Weak or opaque additions reduce focus.

.

Ingredient transparency

81 Highest impact

Most active amounts are clearly disclosed. Missing directions and inactive ingredients keep disclosure incomplete.

.

Customer satisfaction

61 Moderate impact

The supplied average is strong and rests on a small review count. No review text was provided to assess recurring complaints or firsthand experiences.

.

Value for money

45 Lower impact

Serving efficiency is limited for the disclosed formula. Opaque or low-value additions and high cost weaken competitiveness.

Report overview
Alanine · 350 mg OverallScore79
A- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyD+ Value

The 350 mg L-Alanine amount is above the collection median. L-Alanine is clearly identified and listed separately, although free-form status is not stated. Neutral value is appropriate because alanine is secondary to the broader formula.

View ingredientView products
Sulfur (Magnesium Sulfate) · 20 mg OverallScore62
B+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Magnesium sulfate offers a clear mineral-salt source in a readily dispersed powder. Its sulfate amount is limited to lower-tier maintenance support. The very high serving cost results in poor value for sulfur alone.

View ingredientView products
Tyrosine · 100 mg OverallScore50
B- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Isolated L-Tyrosine provides the preferred chemical form, but no raw-material purity or sourcing signal is supplied. The 100 mg serving is unlikely to provide substantial acute cognitive support, though the exact amount is clearly listed. The cost per gram is high for the Tyrosine delivered.

69 Performance

UltraClear Plus Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
More lysine plus protein, glycine, cysteine, and alanine create a somewhat clearer structural-nutrition profile. Fewer plant additions reduce clutter, although duplicated vitamin A and mineral entries still make totals hard to interpret.
66 Performance

UltraClear Plus pH Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
More lysine with protein, glycine, cysteine, and alanine provides closer hair-oriented amino-acid coverage. The formula remains crowded and costs more per serving, while several sulfur amino acids and specialty actives are modest.
65 Performance

EAA Pure Blue Raspberry

NutraBio
Amino acids are the central focus, with substantially more lysine and alanine plus taurine and essential amino acids. The hidden branched-chain blend and missing serving data reduce transparency, but the formula avoids many small vitamin and botanical additions.
65 Budget

EAA Pure Blue Raspberry

NutraBio
A broad amino-acid base supplies substantially more lysine and alanine with less vitamin-and-mineral clutter. Serving cost is missing, so a cheaper classification cannot be confirmed, and the hidden branched-chain amino-acid split limits precision.
62 Budget

UltraClear Renew Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
The vanilla version provides nearly the same protein, glycine, alanine, N-acetyl-cysteine, vitamins, and minerals at the same listed serving cost. No eligible lower-cost close match is supplied, while the similarly crowded formula retains weak targeted value.
69 Budget

UltraClear Plus Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
More lysine and a simpler amino-acid profile improve hair alignment compared with the berry formula. Its serving cost is higher rather than lower, but the supplied candidate list does not contain three confirmed cheaper options.
62 Value

UltraClear Renew Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
A nearly identical protein, amino-acid, vitamin, mineral, and plant-extract profile offers the closest value comparison at the same listed serving cost. The crowded design still weakens targeted value, and its active differences are too small to create a clear advantage.
65 Value

EAA Pure Blue Raspberry

NutraBio
More lysine and alanine concentrate the formula on amino-acid support while removing many modest micronutrient and botanical additions. Missing serving count and cost prevent a firm value judgment, and the branched-chain blend remains opaque.
69 Value

UltraClear Plus Vanilla Flavor

Metagenics
More lysine and a simpler group of structural amino acids improve hair alignment and auditability. The serving cost is higher, but the eligible list does not provide three lower-cost candidates and the formula retains broad protein and micronutrient coverage.
