A popular, great-tasting protein blend ideal for muscle support and general fitness, though not a pure isolate or dedicated electrolyte source.
Syntha-6 is a multi-functional protein powder, formulated to support various fitness goals from general health to muscle gain. It combines several protein sources, including whey concentrate, isolate, casein, and egg albumin, providing a sustained release of amino acids. While highly palatable and popular among consumers, its relatively higher carbohydrate and fat content compared to pure protein isolates means it's not the leanest option for strict macro-watchers. The moderate amounts of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus included primarily support general cellular function and muscle contraction, but are not designed for significant rehydration needs during intense exercise.
- Excellent taste and mixability, often cited in reviews.
- Multi-source protein blend provides sustained amino acid release.
- Contains essential electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Phosphorus) for general support.
- Higher in carbohydrates and fats compared to whey protein isolates.
- Electrolyte content is moderate and not optimized for intense rehydration.
- Price per serving can be higher than more basic protein powders.

Potassium 60.0
Provides 190mg of potassium, a helpful amount for general cell function and muscle contraction, but not as high as dedicated electrolyte products that aim to replenish significant potassium losses from sweat.
