Alpha Vegan Natural Chocolate
Optimal Alpha Vegan Natural Chocolate is a Protein supplement designed to provide comprehensive nutritional support. Each 34-gram serving delivers 21 grams of protein, along with an Alpha Vegan Matrix (23855 mg), Branch Chain Amino Acids (6225 mg), and Glutamine (3475 mg). The Glutamine content is at a clinically studied dose, supporting muscle recovery. However, several micronutrients like Potassium (160 mg), Calcium (50 mg), and Iron (7 mg) are underdosed compared to daily value recommendations. This product has an N+ Score of 64, earning a 'D' grade, indicating average quality. With 13 total ingredients, the label offers moderate transparency, though the Alpha Vegan Matrix is a proprietary blend. This supplement may benefit individuals seeking a plant-based protein with added amino acids, but should not be relied upon for significant micronutrient intake.
