ALR Industries Humapro, Vegan EAA Formula, Peach Mango, 90 Servings | Lean Muscle Support, Essential Amino Acids, 99% Amino Acid Utilization, Gluten Free, No GI Discomfort or Bloating

Like many of you, I viewed this product with great skepticism. "25g protein equi, <30 calories, 1 scoop, easy mix", fake news / nonsense I say! However I decided to give it a shot. Also, like many of you, it's because I need a high protein intake without the calories, endless chicken and goopy protein powders. Did I mention I'm on a cut (low calories)... Did I mention I lift bro??? If any of this remotely applies to you, read on. Does it taste good? The Exotic Peach is really nice. Yes. Does it have an after taste? For me, yes. It's horrid. HORRID. "BCAA Breath" is what I've been told. Brush your teeth w/ mouthwash afterwards. Do it. Does it give you a "boost"? I mean, if you are super deficient in B-Vitamins, or food, sure, at first. Little "umph". Does it work? I've been lifting, hard, for >8 weeks now, with this counting as 25g/ protein/ scoop, @120-140g protein per day target on myfitnesspal. Ok, Dude, Did it work?? The answer is yes. I've gained visible muscle, increased my lifts, and lowered my body fat slightly. Texture? Grainy, but with 12oz+ water per scoop, its not anymore, mostly... Some residual grains no matter how hard and fast you stir. Smell? When it's not in your mouth / throat, it smells like peach rings. No joke. Stomach Upset? None at all, whether its consumed fasted or not. Nasty burps? None at all either, which was a HUGE win for me (Certain I'm not "jiving" with dairy...) Nasty farts? None. Nasty Pee, Poop, anything in between? Nope. Again, this is great, as many protein powders and meat sources made this... a challenge. Let's stop the Q/A there. No, the <product name here> didn't lower my body fat, Dieting (Calorie Deficit), Lifting (Weights... at a gym) and Rest (8 hours sleep each night) did. Over a 2 month period, with the plan being to continue this for a few more months. I'm not an amateur, I've been cut/bulk cycling for years and have developed a good amount of strength and mass. What's weird with this product is its a total love hate relationship I'm having.... I love that I am actually getting the same, if not superior, results as if I was consuming 2x25g or 3x25g of "Real Protein" every day, but instead I'm substituting with this. However, the taste in powdered form gets old - fast. And so does the after taste. The reason I am still giving this 5 stars is because it's actually legit. Typically, nasty breath syndrome warrants a -1 star, but not this time for all reasons listed above. Take what you will out of this. No, I'm not a marketing engineer or paid by anyone - I just wish someone posted a meaningful review on here with details and after 200+ other reviews, I just did NOT see that. Come on buyers, enough with the 1 sentence reviews. Yeah, you know who you are. Stop it. Conclusion - Need a 25g or near protein-equivalent in your diet? Want to keep it low calorie? Are your kidneys experiencing problems, or body / gut / etc. as well... from consuming all of those Whey, Casein, Chickens, Tunas and Beefs? Try this. It may work for you, it may not. It worked for me, and I'll keep purchasing it. I hope you enjoyed this review. EDIT January 23rd, 2018 :::: So, I wanted to follow up on this and post some results. First of all, I have re-ordered multiple times - Pineapple and Peach Mango are my absolute FAVORITE. To those of you who like Strawberry Kiwi and the rest, ya'll need to check yourselves, that flavor is nasssssty. Anyways. I purchased this October 20, 2017. I am 5'7, Male, Age [25-32]. Weight: 184.6 Lbs Body Fat: 26.2% Muscle Mass: 41.3% Bone Mass: 8% Rest: Water Weight Now, here are my stats (with visible, impressive muscle gain on a hypertrophy focused training programme, with -5% to +5-10 (workout day vs not)% calories "zig zagging / body recomposition" day per day, note this is almost exactly 3 months later: Weight: 191.2 Lbs Body Fat: 25% Muscle Mass: 42.8% Bone Mass: 8% Rest: Water Weight Now, I want to stress that I legitimately counted every single scoop of this in MyFitnessPal, where each scoop was a 25g of protein amount weighed out on the scale. I had 2x to 3x scoops a day to maintain my calorie targets and protein targets (50g-75g / day). The result is, again with my specific lifting and diet plan over 12~ weeks: 184.6 Lbs ---> 191.2 Lbs, where my body fat % went down by a percent, but more importantly, my muscle percentage not only stayed the same - it increased. This translates directly into a ~2.5-3 (range to account for error in measurements) pounds of increased muscle mass per month for 3 months, with a slight loss in body fat, but overall figure improved. My next experiment will be "Summer Shredding 2018", where starting March 15 2018, the goal will be to go into a -15% to -20% daily caloric deficit, while using HumaPro as a 2x-3x scoop a day protein source. Up until March, however, I will go from "recomp mode" to "lean gains" mode, meaning the acceptance of gaining 1-2% body fat in the hopes of upping my muscle mass more before the bit cut season. If you are reading this, I hope this was helpful. PS - No headaches, pain, or any strange nonsense like that. I have gone a few days, on and off, without HumaPro with no negative effects. I wish I was more consistent, perhaps I would have had a little more mass gain. EDIT SEPTEMBER 2018:::: All right folks. Here is my final long-term, sustained use verdict: This is good stuff. Now, I went and got one of those full body composition scans to compare against my scale. They are actually +/- 2-5% apart, which is interesting. Here is the result of the scan after summer shredding 2018 (#GuzSquad) and then going into a lean bulk since then. Weight: 195.9 Lbs Body Fat: 22.2% Muscle Mass: 44.6% Bone Mass: 8% ( Even as I age a year, bone mass is consistent, thanks #MilkLife ) Rest: Water Weight During my cut, I did 2x Scoops a day. Afterwards, when I lean bulked, I did 1x Scoops a day with an extra scoop right after my workouts as an experiment. Overall, I'm surprised this is so sustainable long term. I suspect the calorie claims may be a little more "traditional" than the vendor admits though, but whether its 5 calories, 120 or anything in between, doesn't matter. Like anyone who likes mixing powders, I started throwing in BCAA 2:1:1 + Collagen Peptides Type 1 and 3 in my shaker, sometimes a Pump or Pre-Workout product too. Honestly, if you can't stand this, give it a shot with Collagen Peptides mixed in. The good ones which are flavorless. It makes it nice, smooth and yummy, with the benefit of the new thing mixed in. More palatable. What I do want to talk about is the ... HORRID. AWFUL. TERRIBLE. HUMA. PRO. BREATH. I'm going absolutely insane over this, but I accidentally (No, For Real, Read Up) stumbled upon something that works well. When I was sick the last few weeks, I felt the need to level up my Vitamin-C game. I added some Camu Camu powder, the orange-tangy-looking one they sell on here and shook it all up (vigorously) along with the HumaPro and the Collagen. IT'S A MIRACLE. THE BAD BREATH IS ALMOST ENTIRELY GONE. 1/2 a Tsp, almost entirely. 1 Tsp, entirely. Now, I'm writing an update to a fitness product, not cross-linking the others. You can copy me and give it a shot, or not. Up to you. But, overall, I've decided to continue using this long-term 1x a day, 2x when I need it, and 3x during lean-cutting prep time. That works for me, and mixing in other powders and supplements on and off keeps it interesting, as well as mixing up the flavors. "Why Drink Water... Without Taste?". I'm not sure what my day to day life and my workouts would look like without huma pro. Honestly, I kind of need to know after using it for so, so long. If you are at all interested, I WILL update this in the next 3 months with my findings and anecdotal feedback, as I am going to wrangle myself off of it and find out for myself. My fear is that aside from the "Human Perfect Blah Blah Mixture" that has been working out great for my gains and such, there are other minerals and additives that are not disclosed or fully understood, that are playing a role here in my "Good Feel" day to day. Anyways, final "Assessing getting off this stuff" review, see ya'll for my final update in December/January.

Very sweet. Especially if you follow the 3 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight lifestyle as I do. It is also SUPER INSTANTIZED & mixes ALMOST CLEAR. Each scoop is only 25 protein grams so unless you like doing the scoop adnauseum all day to get in your extra 100-200 grams of protein a day to meet your daily protein needs it is easier to use a bigger scoop measure than is provided. This is also by far the best and lowest calorie protein I have ever taken. It hits me as big as WHEY GOLD from Optimum or even NITRO TECH but with FAR LESS CALORIES! So it really opens up my food diet intake, covers me for diet slip ups/cheats, and insures I am meeting my DAILY 3 GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER LB OF BODYWEIGHT protocol with less food costs/intake. It is the best protein supplement I have tried over my 30 years of training myself and others perfectly!

I prefer the tablets better. The sucralose is not my favorite ingredient and it’s too sweet even for my teen. I’m patiently getting through the jar. I like the flavor when I’m in the mood for something sweet but sometimes you just want protein. Still love this brand.

I purchased the Exotic Mango Peach flavor. I purchased this because I was experiencing rapid hair loss after I realized I inadvertently cut protein from my diet (I was just too busy to eat 3 meals a day. I only snacked during the day and ate a full meal at dinner). After 3 weeks of daily consumption of 1 scoop a day, my hair has stopped shedding. I know that is not what this product was intended to do but hey, it did when nothing else would work for me (protein hair treatments didn't work). In addition to stopping my hair loss, I did lose 10 pounds! Now, I workout more to aid this in losing additional weight. The taste: I hate (w/ a passion) whey protein in all flavors. I tried them but couldn't stand the chalky taste, horrific smell or the stuck-to-your-tongue after taste. I was more desperate than skeptic that this would be any different. I went to the company's website and ordered a sample size of 7 servings. I was pleasantly surprised! I am able to completely hide the taste in 8 ozs of Naked Strawberry Banana juice smoothie (which I use as a morning meal replacement). I have also used the Naked Green Machine juice smoothie but you will taste the mango notes from HumaPro. It is not bad tasting. You just know there is mango flavor in your green smoothie. I now have a 90 servings size of HumaPro in Exotic Mango Peach. I like this product. I will buy again.

I gain more muscle mass and strength when I take this stuff, so it gets 5 stars but this company has a shady background which is why I don’t even know why I mess with this product. Rewind to my college days, I took an ALR product called Jungle Warfare. It was marketed as a natural test booster. I didn’t need this but stupid me took it anyway. The strength and weight gains I made on this stuff were inhuman. 30lbs of lean muscle mass. Turns out years later a medical study of this product showed it contained an anabolic steroid. That’s why I’m skeptical. Are the gains good because this is a superior product or is there something else in here? I did a little more research and saw that ALR got acquired. I’m assuming the company that acquired them was their actual manufacturer (Hitech). If you check Hitech’s website, you’ll see they market nearly all their muscle building products with the names of anabolic steroids. So the same company that mixes this stuff is possibly mixing these other compounds. Hitech has FDA warnings about their products. They use a lot of chemical alterations of banned compounds that the law hasn’t kept up with. I give it 5 stars because it obviously works. I just hope I’m not sacrificing the longevity of my life...
