Pro Lite Natural Vanilla Flavor
Genestra Brands
Overview
Pro Lite Natural Vanilla Flavor offers a plant-based protein alternative from rice. While rice protein is a suitable option for those avoiding common allergens, the overall protein content per serving (7g) is significantly lower than what is typically recommended or expected from a protein supplement for muscle building or satiety. The inclusion of fructose as a prominent ingredient and a notable sugar content (6g) further diminishes its effectiveness as a primary protein source. The digestive enzyme papain and fiber source guar gum are present, but their impact on this specific formulation's overall effectiveness as a protein supplement is marginal at these doses and forms.
The Good
Excellent option for individuals with dairy, soy, or gluten allergies/intolerances.
Uses rice protein, a hypoallergenic and easily digestible plant-based protein source.
Guaranteed to contain no added wheat, yeast, gluten, artificial coloring or flavoring, antimicrobial preservatives, dairy, or animal products, making it suitable for vegans.
The Bad
Inadequate protein content per serving for general anabolic benefits (7g per 22.2g serving, leading to less than 32% protein by weight).
Presence of sugar (6g per serving) and fructose as a top ingredient, which is undesirable for a protein supplement.
Lack of transparency on the specific protein content from each rice protein source (concentrate vs. hydrolyzed flour).
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, individuals seeking protein supplementation
Skip If: You have allergies to specific protein sources (e.g., dairy, soy) or kidney issues.
