Humapro, Protein Matrix Formulated for Humans, Waste Less. Gain Lean Muscle, Fresh Cut Pineapple, 667 Grams

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 LbsBody Fat: 26.2%Muscle Mass: 41.3%Bone Mass: 8%Rest: Water WeightNow, 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 LbsBody Fat: 25%Muscle Mass: 42.8%Bone Mass: 8%Rest: Water WeightNow, 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 LbsBody Fat: 22.2%Muscle Mass: 44.6%Bone Mass: 8% ( Even as I age a year, bone mass is consistent, thanks #MilkLife )Rest: Water WeightDuring 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.

Love this !!I can’t say enough how awesome it is to be able to get 25 g of protein and it be more like a drink instead of a nasty whey protein shake.I have loved this stuff for probably 8 yrs at least. I can’t complain. Taste great and a lot of servings unlike whey protein. Also, for the people disappointed that it’s only halfway full of powder.. it’s supposed to only be halfway full because the powder settles. But it’s correct. Also, I’ve never had any allergies. I am a healthy person used to compete and be a trainer in bikini model now I just love the lift weights three or four days a week.

Had really good success with this product especially when trying to drop weight. I take 3-4 servings of 10 pills each per day. I do not think it should replace whey protein but when eating on a calorie deficit and in need of essential amino acids this is the trick. Helps keep muscle on despite a calorie deficit. I prefer pills over powder and I’d recommend it only for people who are good pill takers.

This is my second purchase. I had the passion fruit flavor the first time and I got a pineapple this time.I'm not sure why there are many reviews with only one star but in my opinion they are not that bad.I usually make them like a smoothie so it doesn't have a strong chemical taste.

My stack: ALR Chain'd Out Appletine, APS carnitine (pills), APS L-Glutamine (no flavor), ALR HumaPro powder (pineapple)Flavor: I got the HumaPro in pineapple, and I love it so far. I use it daily once a day. The first day I went all out and did the full stack. It was extremely sour with the apple and pineapple. I broke it down and did the pineapple during another use and I LOVE it. It is very refreshing and is perfect for postworkouts. I didn't experience any aftertaste and it doesn't get chunky and blends in nicely (even in the entire stack). I have worked my way up to the full stack and have no issues with the sourness now that I have worked up to it.Feeling: I am pretty sensitive with stimulants, and this is not a stimulant. It does not give you jittery feeling or any of that. If you are looking for a stimulant, I (PERSONALLY) do not think this is for you.Results: I have noticed quite a difference in the way I feel and my body's form when using my stack. Unfortunately I haven't broken it down to which individual products help me best, but I love it. I take it first thing in the morning and I don't need coffee the rest of the day. If I feel I need more substance/sustenance before or after working out, I'll throw another mix together or sub in just one of the drinks - Chain'd Out or HumaPro.Overall: I do plan on purchasing these again if/when the budget allows. I do believe these are reasonably priced for the results I am seeing. I know everyone will react differently to different products, but this seems to be the most consistent from what I can see.Disclaimer: I am fairly new to stacking and the science of this is all, and all people are different and react differently to different products.
