Review on πŸͺ Go Condition Protein Powder Plus - Whey Protein Powder with 20g of Protein - Low Carb, Sugar Free, Easy to Digest - Cookies & Cream Flavor - 24 Servings by Vanessa Knipp

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Subtle chocolate taste. Zero Sakharov. 1 g total fat. Only 1g carbohydrates. 20 grams of protein. 90 calories.

I usually wonder what's behind when a product doesn't have a back label with additive or nutritional information. In this case, I could only guess that it was a typo in the serving size. The product information and directions on the label state that one scoop is a serving size. The additional facts state that it is 2 scoops. Instead of hiding this typo, just acknowledge it and add a disclaimer to the product details. That's unfortunate because the nutritional aspects are pretty good. There are only 90 calories per serving, with just 1 gram of total fat, 1 gram of total carbohydrates (no sugar), and 20 grams of protein. Thus, a 20 gram serving provides 20 grams of protein. I would say good value. To optimize the protein aspect, they contain 200 mg of the digestive enzyme ProHydrolase. This contributes to better breakdown of the protein into the best bioavailable forms of amino acids. This is a smart addition to increase the potential of this protein supplement. I added it to warm cashew almond milk (about 8 ounces) for a "hot chocolate drink." It dissolved with vigorous stirring. It has a decent chocolate flavor. It seemed a little sweet, but it's probably my own sensitivity to sweeteners. We try to minimize the consumption of sugar and sweeteners. Therefore, we are somewhat sensitive to sweeteners. Either way, the chocolate tastes great and makes a nice hot chocolate milk. I usually look for supplements that have at least 30 servings per month. This product only has 24 servings. And at $35 for 24 servings, it gets a little pricey. If it were whey protein isolate the price would be more reasonable, but the first ingredient on the list is whey protein concentrate. Whey, a thin, watery liquid, is a by-product of cheese making. Manufacturers pasteurize this liquid whey to kill bacteria and dry it to make whey powder. They can then use it to make three different whey products: concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzate. Isolate is processed into whey to reduce fat and lactose, leaving mostly protein. Hydrolseed is further processed to break down protein chains to make it easier to digest. The hydrolyzate is most commonly used in infant formula. As such, isolate is considered the more ideal form of whey, particularly as a protein supplement. It is also more expensive than whey concentrate due to the additional processing. This whey guide I have provided aims to explain the difference in the cost of whey protein supplements. And why do I find it quite expensive for a protein blend that has whey protein concentrate first on the ingredient list, followed by whey protein isolate (we don't know the exact amount of either, only the concentrate amount is higher). than to isolate). The price of this product is comparable to whey protein isolate prices. The nutritional profile is still impressive. I love zero sugar, 1g total carbs, 1g total fat. I think the addition of the ProHydrolase digestive enzyme should balance out the whey protein concentrate; This enzyme increases the efficiency of digestion of the protein forms included in the composition. So I applaud their approach to optimizing the proteins present in their protein mix. Based on these considerations, this whey protein blend powder is rated 4-4.25 stars with a high recommendation.
