Analysis

Twenty grams of protein with modest fat and carbohydrate can support daily protein targets and exercise recovery. Five milligrams of iron add a meaningful food-level contribution.

The supplied label does not identify the plant-protein sources, amino profile, flavoring ingredients, or iron form. Sodium can contribute around exercise but remains below a strong sweat-replacement serving.

The powder fits plant-based users who want simple protein quantity and can verify the full package label. It is a weak choice for targeted iron or electrolyte supplementation.

Who is it for
  • Plant-based adults seeking protein
  • People supporting exercise recovery
  • Users who can verify the full package label
Best for
  • Daily protein intake
  • Post-exercise shakes
  • Low-carbohydrate supplementation

Pros

  • Provides 20 g protein
  • Lean macronutrient profile
  • Includes a useful food-level iron amount

Cons

  • Plant-protein sources are not identified
  • Iron and sodium forms are undisclosed
  • Full flavoring ingredients are absent

Warnings

  • Undisclosed protein sources prevent allergy-sensitive users from confirming suitability
  • The 260 mg sodium amount should be counted in sodium-restricted diets
  • The iron contribution should be considered when stacking iron-containing products

Nutrient quality

80 High impact

The plant protein sources and amino-acid profile are not disclosed. The protein amount is meaningful, while iron and sodium provide moderate secondary nutrition.

.

Ingredient transparency

66 High impact

Protein and basic nutrition amounts are stated clearly. The supplied data does not include protein sources, flavoring, or other inactive ingredients.

.

Customer satisfaction

60 Moderate impact

The aggregate satisfaction measure is favorable, but the review volume is limited. Missing firsthand feedback leaves repeat complaints and real-world purpose fit uncertain.

.

Value for money

62 Moderate impact

The moderately high serving cost is only partly justified by the protein amount. Each serving offers fair value but little ingredient-quality evidence.

Report overview
Sodium · 260 mg OverallScore63
D Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB- Value

The sodium amount can support lighter sweat replacement but sits below the preferred athletic range. Potassium is quantified, although neither its form nor the sodium source is disclosed. Protein provides broader nutritional value, while the carbohydrate level leaves additive purity uncertain.

Iron · 5 mg OverallScore45
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The chemical form of iron is not disclosed, and the loose powder allows flexible mixing but is not a slow-release or liquid iron format. The iron amount is below the effective supplemental range; no qualifying vitamin C, folate, or vitamin B12 support is listed. The high serving cost mainly reflects protein rather than effective iron support; the serving cost is above the collection’s poor-value threshold.
