Overview

Gladiator Complete Protein offers a significant dose of protein with a blend of different sources, intending to support muscle recovery and growth along with overall nutritional balance. However, the use of a proprietary blend obscures the individual contributions of each protein source, making it hard to assess the quality of the protein blend. Additionally, the presence of some less bioavailable mineral forms and uncertainty around the specific dosages of vitamins and minerals, as well as the amino acids further compromise the overall efficacy.

The Good

High Protein Content: Delivers a significant 45g of protein per serving, beneficial for muscle building and recovery.

Multi-Sourced Protein Blend: Combines different protein sources (Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Concentrate, Micellar Casein, Egg Albumin) for varying absorption rates.

Added Vitamins and Minerals: Provides a range of vitamins and minerals, contributing to overall nutritional support.

The Bad

Potential Allergen Exposure: Contains egg and milk, which are common allergens.

Unclear Protein Source Ratios: The 'Smoothie King Pro-Sorb Blend' obscures the exact amounts of each protein source, hindering assessment of individual protein contributions.

Magnesium and Zinc Oxide Forms: Utilizes oxide forms of magnesium and zinc, which are known for lower bioavailability compared to other forms.
