Gaspari nutrition “was” a great name in the sports supplementation industry. Yes, you read that right it was a great name for me. I was a big fan of this company and all their products were superb and really effective. I have been using Myofusion (the older version) from last one year and it has been a brilliant that used to rule over many other proteins in the market. Gaspari nutrition Superpump 250 and Plasmajet were two other awesome products from the same company which are currently discontinued. I can’t figure out any reason for shooting a bullet in your own foot and that what Gaspari has done in the past year.
From the description, you would have understood that I am pretty disappointed with the new product Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion Probiotic series. The only thing left in the new version is the taste and rest part is gone. I bought a 5 lbs tub few weeks back for $60 from a local store here in cinnamon roll flavor and I must say this is such a unique and awesome flavor this company has developed. I loved to drink this in milk. I will talk about its mixability and other aspects later.
Gaspari Nutrition fools people over new ingredient profile
That’s 100% truth. The company is behind making money. They have replaced such great ingredients with cheap fillers in the profile. The micellar casein is best way to delay the release of protein to the bloodstream from the gut and it replenishes the blood leucine levels for longer period than the whey protein. The micellar protein is expensive in the market and now it is replaced by the sodium caseinate which is even cheaper than whey protein concentrate. No “completely” hydrolyzed whey protein in the newer version and what is the notion to add brown rice protein in the supplement? Many companies that make cheap supplements will add soy protein isolate as fillers and befooling people. They are adding brown rice protein. The scoop size has gone up by 3 grams and protein has reduced by one gram. Initially, it was 25 grams protein in 36 grams scoop and now it is 24 grams in 39 grams scoop. The company in news for its scandal about enormously low protein amounts than their claims when tests for protein percentage were done.
Okay, that’s enough of me being a critic and sharing my opinion. Now, let’s talk about the other aspects of the protein and my experience with it.
Taste – As I said before, it tastes great. I don’t know about other flavors but cinnamon roll tastes excellent. 10/10 score for this.
Mixability – that’s just fine. It mixes well in water but there were some clumps in the milk. So, I will give it 8 out of 10.
Digestion – they added Probiotic which are useless or rather ineffective. I got bad bloating and flatulence which was far lesser in the older version. Poor digestibility calls for a score of 3/10 in my opinion.
Effectiveness- that’s fine for the cost it comes for. I used this 3 times a day and there were some gains during the period I used it. No change in strength but it is like an average protein that aids recovery. I will say 8/10 for the effectiveness.
Overall score – the gross score comes out to be slightly more than 7/10.
Will I recommend it to anyone? NO
The sales have dropped down and the two legendary products Gaspari Myofusion and the super 250 are out of sight, so is the success rate of the company.
