Wheybolic Alpha Cookies and Cream
GNC AMP Advanced Muscle Performance
Overview
GNC AMP Wheybolic Alpha provides a potent blend of ingredients that are well-researched for muscle growth, strength, and recovery. The high protein content from whey hydrolysate and isolate, coupled with significant doses of Leucine, BCAAs, Creatine, and Betaine, aligns well with scientific recommendations for maximizing workout adaptations. Ingredients like Velositol and Prohydrolase are included to enhance the effectiveness of the protein and amino acids, though their individual contributions in a complex formula might vary. Testofen Fenugreek Seed Extract offers a potential boost for testosterone, especially in males, which further supports the product's claims.
The Good
High-quality, fast-absorbing protein blend (whey hydrolysate and isolate).

Clinically effective doses of Creatine and Betaine for improved strength, power, and body composition.
The Bad

High dosage of Chromium per serving (500mcg per two-scoop serving) which may raise concerns for some individuals although generally considered safe.
Proprietary blends for some ingredients (Velositol Amylopectin Chromium Complex and Alpha Matrix) obscure exact dosages of all components beyond the main active ingredients.
