Overview

ProtoMeal Natural Berry Flavor offers a broad range of nutrients and ingredients with established benefits for overall health. The protein blend, vitamins, and minerals are generally well-dosed to meet daily requirements or provide therapeutic levels. However, the exact effectiveness of some ingredients like probiotics and enzymes, while present, can be difficult to fully assess without more detailed strain and activity unit information beyond what's provided for 'Biocore Edge' and 'Blend of 2 Probiotic Strains'. The product's comprehensive nature means it addresses multiple health aspects, but the combined efficacy relies on ingredient synergy.

The Good

High-quality plant-based protein blend (20g per serving).

Comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile including chelated forms for better absorption.

Supports digestive health with prebiotics (Inulin), digestive enzymes, and a blend of two probiotic strains (2 Billion organisms).

The Bad

California Proposition 65 warning for lead exposure poses a significant safety concern.

Specific activity units for digestive enzymes like Protease and Peptidase are not fully disclosed within the 'Biocore Edge' blend, making precise efficacy difficult to ascertain.

Some beneficial ingredients like Magnesium, Choline, and Inositol are present in amounts that may be less than optimal for specific therapeutic effects, though they contribute to overall nutritional support.
