Raw Protein Vanilla Spiced Chai
Garden of Life Raw Protein Vanilla Spiced Chai is primarily a protein supplement with added vitamins and a probiotic/enzyme blend, falling under the 'Other Combinations' category. It has an N+ Score of 52, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average performance in our evaluation. The product provides 17g of protein per serving and includes Vitamin D at a clinically studied dose of 400IU. However, several other vitamins, such as Vitamin A (200IU), Vitamin E (5IU), and Vitamin K (5mcg), are present in underdosed amounts. With 10 ingredients, its overall ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores are low, suggesting that while it offers protein, the additional micronutrients may not be at effective levels. This product could appeal to those seeking a plant-based protein with some added vitamins, but its N+ Score highlights areas for potential improvement in its comprehensive nutritional profile.
