ErgoPharm Blueberry GF-Pro Review
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ergo/gf.html
“ErgoPharm decided to make a no carb, no fat whey protein supplement, but first they were determined to break the mold. This new protein had to be something never seen before - something truly original - not just different for the sake of being “different”. ErgoPharm was determined to engineer a whey protein unsurpassed in its ability to supply the best source of fast absorbing whey, and they also wanted to incorporate a completely novel, unknown source of animal protein - a protein delivering potent immunomodulatory and growth promoting peptides.
GF Pro. Zero carb, zero fat GF Pro contains a proprietary blend of the highest quality whey protein isolates available combined with a remarkable spray dried plasma protein that is comprised of peptides (IGg, transferrin/lactoferrin, IGF-1, TGFŸ-1) with potent anabolic and immunoprotective functional properties. This remarkable protein has been proven scientifically to lead to increases in lean tissue mass through its ability to optimize protein utilization. Therefore the net result of the proprietary formulation, GF Pro, is the most advanced protein supplement ever created. Oh yeah, and the stuff comes in mouthwatering fruit flavors - so delicious you’ll swear it can’t be good for you. Available in Green Apple, Cherry Blast, Orange Cream and Raspberry Lemonade. ”
I wanted a fruity whey isolate for my pre cardio and post workout shakes. So last week I received my 5lbs jug of Ergopharm Blue Berry GF-Pro. I was really excited about this product because ErgoPharm is known for theit quality and I was curious to see what a relatively expensive isolate product tasted like. Here’s my review:
Taste: 10 out of 10
The taste was spot on blueberry. I was actually surprised out how realistic the flavoring matched real blueberry. I use to pick blueberrys all the time when I used to spend my summers in Maine as a kid so I was very impressed.
Mixability: 7 out of 10
While this is not the worst mixing protein it isn’t the best either. It did take some extra effort to get a smooth consistency with a shaker. However, it wasn’t impossible. I think it is due to the fact the powder is extremely fine and could be the added spray dried plasma protein.
Value: 8 out of 10
This is definately an expensive product, but I feel the quality justifies the cost. If you are looking for a great tasting isolate this will not dissappoint. Furthermore, I don’t know of any protein powders with bioactive proteins and spay dried plasma protein. Here’s some more info on those ingredients. http://www.ergopharm.net/tech_immunolin.php
Overall: 8.5 out of 10
As I become more experienced with supplementation you pay for what you get when it comes to protein. This is a quality product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fruity isolate product
Afterthoughts…..
This product tastes really good with milk, water, and orange Gatorade. I am really impressed with the flavoring system. It would be nice if ErgoPharm expanded their product line with a BCAA cocktail and blended protein utilizing the same flavoring system.
