Amplified 100% Whey Protein Vanilla
GNC Pro Performance AMP
Overview
This product aims to enhance muscle protein synthesis and improve muscle recovery through a blend of different whey protein sources and additional amino acids. While the base whey protein is beneficial and the inclusion of hydrolyzed whey peptides can improve absorption, the product's effectiveness is somewhat compromised by the use of proprietary blends and the inclusion of several additives. The claims of faster absorption and improved amino acid availability are not entirely substantiated due to the unknowns of the proprietary blends and fillers.
The Good
Provides a good source of protein at 20g per serving.
Includes hydrolyzed whey peptides, potentially improving absorption rate.
Contains a variety of forms of whey protein.
The Bad
Proprietary blend of 'Micronized Amino Acids' makes it impossible to assess the actual dosage of each amino acid.
Contains artificial flavors and sweeteners (Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose).
Contains a variety of fillers and additives like Polydextrose and Polyethylene Glycol.
Is it for you?
