Pro Complex Information
Pro Complex by Optimum Nutrition is the result of modern processes that allow for the isolation, concentration, and selective modification of bioactive compounds in various whey and egg proteins. Utilizing an exclusive blend of Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolate, Cross Flow Micro-Filtered Whey Protein Isolates, Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate, Hydrolyzed Whey Peptide, Glutamine Peptides, and Egg Albumen, Pro Complex delivers an incredible 55 grams of the highest quality protein available on the market.

Dedicated athletes know, each protein has a different amino acid profile. Whey proteins are particularly loaded in the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. Egg Albumen is heavy in L-Arginine and sulfur containing amino acids such as L-Cystine and L-Methionine. Hydrolyzed Peptides are rich in L-Glutamine, L-Glutamic Acid, and L-Tryptophan. By combining numerous protein sources, Pro Complex provides the best that each protein has to offer and yields an amino acid profile that is second to none!

Rich Milk Chocolate

At first I thought this was a meal replacement, but it's more of an extended release protein powder; the two-scoop serving size makes it seem like more than it is. If you use just one scoop, you'll get 30 grams of protein, .5 grams of fat and 2.5 grams of carbohydrates in 135 calories, which is comparable, if not better, than many protein powders. Pro Complex does have added extras, such as vitamins and minerals, which most protein powders don't. In addition, there's a heavy dose of BCAAs, particularly leucine, which is nice because new research seems to come out all the time about leucine's benefits. It's odd that this doesn't contain casein, though it does have a few forms of whey and egg protein. The taste isn't very deep but it's not highly sweet either. There's a tiny bit of chemical aftertaste but nothing major.

This protein is more like a meal replacement, because it contains a blend of proteins that are digestes at different ratios and some faster than others. That help us mantain a positive nitrogen level and more anabolic.

The mixability its great on either, a shaker or a blender for a slightly thick shake. The taste is great, at least the chocolate supreme version, i haven

This is for Banana

Taste 3.5/5 It's definetely banana. I tried it in my oatmeal with water, and cottage cheese, both turned out quite nicely. If you like banana flavors, you will like this. I just don't think I'm much of a banana fan, if you are, the rating will most likely be higher.

Ingredient Profile 5/5 wow, optimum really outdid themselves. This is from the back of the Package...Not the site.Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate,Egg Albumen, Micellar Casein, Glutamine Peptides, L-Leucine, Whey Peptides, L-isoleucine, L-Valine) little bit of maltodextrin, but only 4.5g of carbs per scoop.

Price 3.5/5 We all know prices are going up all over the place. If you use one scoop of Pro complex, which is all I think you would need, you still get 30g of protein and you can stretch it out a bit further, price is fair, but not great.

Pro Complex is something a true athlete whether it be bodybuilder, powerlifter, or anything else should take. It contains 60 grams of protein from 8 sources. The combination of protein sources at different rates of digestion does wonders for your growth. More than 14+ grams of BCAA and more than 10+ grams of Glutamine and Precursors. Don't forget about 15 vitamins and minerals.

Profile: See above for that good stuff. It has a great make-up. No problems with it at all.

Mixing: Instant mixing ladies and gentleman. I like to use just a little more milk in mines.

Taste: Banana Cream is heavenly, but Rich Milk Chocolate rules supreme. ON knows how to win hearts.

Price: 28 servings at $89.99 on ON website, but less at GNC and online retailers.

Overall: If the money is right, then go ahead and pick it up. It fills you up, satisfies your taste buds, helps in growth,and mixes with ease. It can pack on pounds.

Taste		The product tastes good by itself which seems to be an accomplishment in itself,
Mixes well		Easily mixes with water and goes great in oatmeal!


Endurance		I've been using this stuff after every work out with skimmed milk 300ml and fatigue clears quickly.


Taste		The added amino and glutamine is a great bonus especially after workout Used the vanilla 2 scoops and added optimum pre load creatine Orange 2 scoops with 12 oz of water makes a killer mass building combo and tastes like a orange creamsicle.
Suppressed appetite		The best part is after consuming this mix I still have a good appetite to eat a meal about 20 mins later which is important for good gains.


Texture		I guess I'm just spoilt with the high quality standards set by ON on dissolvability of their protein products, this one feels gritty, ever so slightly.
Muscle gain		I have packed on decent lean muscle mass in the process, as a bonus :)
Taste		Love the flavor.
Mixes well		Don't get me wrong, it dissolves just fine.


Value for money		Good product the price seems a little high until you realize that it give three supplement in one, and that it is saving you money.


Value for money		but I feeL like it's been cheapened a little and doesn't stand out as much anymore.


Taste		Great taste and mixes very easily. 1 scoop or 2 depending on your need at the time, has all the extra's needed added to it to be a great base protein powder.

Taste		So I just received this product yesterday, I got the banana cream pie flavor (got it from a different site because I wanted the 10 lb bag).
Taste		First off, the banana cream pie flavor is absolutely delicious.
Value for money		I got it to add onto my meals in hopes of putting on some more lean mass, the nutrition facts are solid, it's expensive because you get what you pay for.


Muscle gain		Taste very good, mixed well, & gain muscle.
Taste		Taste very good, mixed well, & gain muscle.


Taste		This product mixes well, no clumps and tastes great.
Mixes well		This product mixes well, no clumps and tastes great.


Taste		Taste is good, usually mix with almond milk, fresh fruit, and peanut butter.
Mixes well		Mixes great.


Taste		This was some of the best tasting whey protein I'v ever had.
Taste		ON always seems to bring high quality, great taste, and superior mix-ability to the table, every time they produce a new supplement in powdered form.


Texture		If you have grown accustomed to a thicker consistency in your protein drink, this product does not have that...and it has taken me time to get used to it (not really sure I have).
Taste		It's not very flavorful either, so it makes my protein shake taste a little bland/diluted (especially since I use unflavored BCAA and Glutamine powders)...again, takes some getting used to.
Taste		It has affected my like of the product...so if I can find some way to add some more flavor to my shakes while using this product, I may go back to some I have used in the past when I buy some again.


Taste		Tastes amazing!
Value for money		I love this stuff, it's just a little pricey.
