Protein Pal Analysis
Protein Source
Where the 18g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Incomplete protein. No tryptophan and very little leucine, so it counts toward the label's protein but contributes little to muscle.
Collagen is the largest single protein source here, ahead of the complete sources. Collagen counts towards the protein figure on the label but contains no tryptophan and little leucine, so the amount doing muscle supporting work is lower than the headline number suggests.
Also Contains
Refined Carbohydrates
- Maltodextrin
A rapidly digested glucose polymer made from corn, rice or tapioca starch. It raises blood glucose at least as fast as table sugar but counts as carbohydrate rather than sugar on the label, so a low-sugar product can still deliver a fast glucose load. The amounts used in protein products are usually small.
