Organic Plant-Based Recovery Blackberry Lemonade
About This Product
Garden of Life Sport's Organic Plant-Based Recovery Blackberry Lemonade is an 'Other Combinations' protein product, containing 20 ingredients. It achieves an N+ Score of 60, resulting in a 'D' grade, which signifies an average overall quality. Key B vitamins such as Thiamine (0.8mg), Riboflavin (1.7mg), and Vitamin B6 (2.0mg), along with Biotin (65mcg) and Magnesium (100mg), are provided at clinically studied dosages, which research suggests may support energy metabolism and muscle function. Conversely, Potassium (35mg), Vitamin C (30mg), and Niacin (3.5mg) are present in underdosed amounts, potentially limiting their intended benefits. The product demonstrates good label transparency at 90%, but its ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores of 40% and 33% respectively suggest room for improvement in overall formulation. This supplement could appeal to individuals seeking plant-based recovery support with specific B vitamin and magnesium contributions.
