PureGreen Protein Mixed Berry
Vibrant Health
Overview
PureGreen Protein offers a robust blend of plant-based proteins and greens, with targeted additions for improved nutrient absorption and completeness. The protein content is substantial, and the inclusion of specific amino acids aims to optimize its anabolic potential. However, the exact contribution and dosing of all 'greens' ingredients beyond Spirulina are not fully transparent, which may limit their individual efficacy compared to dedicated greens supplements.
The Good
High-Quality Plant-Based Protein Blend: Offers 20.1g of protein from yellow pea, alfalfa, and rice, suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Enhanced Amino Acid Profile: Fortified with L-Lysine, L-Threonine, L-Valine, and L-Methionine to ensure a more complete essential amino acid profile, promoting muscle protein synthesis.
Nutrient-Dense Greens: Contains Spirulina as a key 'green' ingredient, providing a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants at a verified dose (2.2g).
The Bad
Limited Transparency on 'Grass' Blends: While alfalfa protein is quantified, the specific amounts of barley grass, wheat grass, and oat grass are not provided, making it difficult to assess their individual efficacy.
Potentially Excessive B12 Dosage: The Vitamin B12 content (4167% DV) is significantly higher than daily requirements, which, while generally safe, might be unnecessary for some individuals.
Potential for Initial Digestive Discomfort: Despite added enzymes, some individuals new to greens or high-fiber protein powders may still experience mild gastrointestinal upset.
Is it for you?
Best For: Vegans, vegetarians, individuals seeking plant-based protein, those looking for added greens in their diet
Skip If: You have allergies to specific plant proteins or ingredients, or are sensitive to greens powders.
