Pro-Equalizer Protein Powder
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
The product provides a good amount of brown rice protein, an effective plant-based alternative comparable to whey for muscle development. It also delivers several vitamins and minerals at or above daily recommended values, suggesting efficacy for addressing common deficiencies and supporting metabolic functions. However, the presence of a proprietary blend for a significant portion of its 'special' ingredients hinders a full assessment of their efficacy, as individual dosages are unknown and could be underdosed.
The Good
Good source of plant-based protein (brown rice protein concentrate).
Comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile, covering many essential micronutrients.
High doses of several B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, B6, B12) for energy metabolism.
The Bad
The 'Proprietary Base Blend' conceals individual ingredient dosages, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult for included compounds (e.g., Siberian Ginseng, Bromelain, CoQ10, L-Carnitine).
Vitamin K content poses a direct interaction risk with anticoagulant medications.
Iron content, while not excessive, necessitates a strong warning for accidental pediatric overdose.
