Protein: 20g per serving
Carbohydrates: 2g per serving
Sugar: 2g per serving
Calories: 110 per serving

Product Info: A product from the company called ABB, Pure Pro Powder boasts of 40 grams of protein that is perfect for hardcore body builders to get the best natural amino acids for muscle building. It comes in three different flavors: Infusing Chocolate Malt, Infusing Strawberry Banana and Infusing
Vanilla Praline.

PROLAB PURE WHEY PROTEIN REVIEW

Nutrition Facts
Protein: 28g per serving
Carbohydrates: 6g per serving
Sugar: 3g per serving
Calories: 130 per serving

Product Info: Prolab’s Pure Whey Protein promises to help you get micro and ultra whey protein and filtration that will help you achieve greater benefits in general. Their micro and ultra filtration system combined with low temperature process brings you a super clean, undernatured, very high protein, nitrogen boosting powder. It comes in great tasting flavors like Chocolate, Strawberr, Vanilla, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Oatmeal.

Pros: Prolab’s Pure Whey Protein formula has an adequate amount of protein per serving of 28g. It’s definitely not a small amount but it’s not too much to overwhelm first time users. It contains no Aspartame so it doesn’t have those artificial sweeteners that your body can do without. Pure Whey mixes easily so there will be no need for a blender unless you want to include it in your shake.

Cons: Pure Whey Protein formula has a very weak type of proteins and depending on your diet and your work out scheme, there might be very little effect from this product. It has the amount of protein that one would need for his workout but these aren’t of high quality.

Directions: As a dietary supplement, use one or two scoops per day, between meals and post workout. Mixes easily, but for best results use a blender. May be mixed with fruit, ice, or your favorite beverage.May also be used in pancake, muffin or waffle mix.
