Analysis

As a larger volume offering of the NOW Sports Whey Protein, this product maintains the highly desirable lean macronutrient profile, including 24g of protein and exceptionally low sodium (70mg), which is excellent for health-conscious users. The primary advantage here is the vastly improved price per serving, making it a very economical choice for long-term or high-volume consumption. Similar to its smaller counterpart, it does not actually contain Vitamin D, despite its listing, indicating a focus purely on whey protein benefits.

Pros
  • Exceptional price per serving due to bulk quantity
  • High protein content with a very lean profile
  • Very low sodium, ideal for cardiovascular health
  • Reputable brand for quality and transparency
Cons
  • Does not provide Vitamin D despite being listed in ingredients

Sodium 90.0
Excellent low sodium content at 70mg per serving, highly desirable for those managing blood pressure and electrolyte balance without excessive sodium.
Potassium 50.0

Calcium 35.0
Provides 181mg of calcium, a small but contributing amount to daily needs. However, dedicated calcium supplements (e.g., Swisse Ultiboost Calcium + Vitamin D) offer significantly higher doses for effective supplementation.
