MusclePharm Combat Good complex protein - my review about it

Good day to all sports lovers. Everyone, or almost everyone, probably already knows about the need to consume additional amounts of protein during sports. But, getting the required amount of protein from ordinary foods can be problematic, and here dry protein comes to the rescue, which can significantly improve the diet. As I already described in the BSN Syntha-6 complex protein review, there are different types of proteins: whey (concentrate, isolate, hydrolyzate), casein (milk), meat (beef, chicken), egg (albumin), soy, hemp, rice and so on. There are also vegetable protein peptides, in general, they try to get protein from all places where it is present. Each type of protein has its own advantages and disadvantages. If we consider protein simply as a dietary supplement to a complete diet, then whey protein is considered to be the most versatile. For this reason, in almost all of my protein reviews, I recommend Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard whey protein, which I consider to be the best. But, there are also complex proteins, when the manufacturer tries to combine several types of protein. There is a certain sense in this, because as a rule they are more satisfying and have a long-lasting effect. And for a beginner, they are the best way, perhaps. Today I want to share with you a review of just such a protein mixture, the MusclePharm Combat complex protein. The MusclePharm Combat complex protein costs about 1,500 hryvnia (3,500 rubles) for a 2.27 kg can. The price is quite high, but MusclePharm is an expensive and high-quality American manufacturer of sports nutrition, so in this volume it turns out quite normal. But it really makes no sense to purchase a kilogram version, because it is a little expensive. There should be no problems with the search and purchase of this protein; recently, MusclePharm brand products have been widely represented on the local market. I will write a review of the sample-based MusclePharm Combat protein complex, but it completely duplicates the full version. On the front side we see the name and type of the product. Also listed at the front are the incoming protein types, the amount of protein per serving, and the amount of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). By the way, this BCAA content is a big plus, since one protein shake contains a full serving of BCAAs. More details are on the back. There is a table of nutrients and energy value, there are recommendations for preparation and storage conditions. The MusclePharm Combat Complex Protein Powder itself has a characteristic structure for this type of sports nutrition. It has a brown color due to cocoa, because in my case it had a chocolate flavor. Mixed dry protein powder into a protein shake just fine, there was absolutely no sticking to the walls of the cooking container, which rarely happens with chocolate flavors, usually cocoa sticks abundantly. The foam did not form at all, it will be very pleasant to those who do not like it. MusclePharm Combat Complex Protein tastes great, at least in the case of chocolate, I'm sure it doesn't get boring. The prepared cocktail is drunk easily and pleasantly. It did not cause any side effects from the gastrointestinal tract, so the digestibility is excellent. It should also be noted that this protein has a certain satiety, so for some time it can suppress hunger. In general, I liked MusclePharm Combat protein complex and can recommend it for purchase. Of the minuses, it should be noted only a rather high cost, for which the overall rating was reduced to 4 stars. I would also like to recommend the BSN Syntha-6 complex protein, a link to which is at the beginning of the review. And for those who are looking for a more affordable option, Syntax Matrix Complex Complex Protein is perfect, which has one of the most pleasant tastes, by the way.
