This protein supplement provides a blend of dairy and soy proteins, BCAAs, and vitamins/minerals, making it suitable for adults seeking to support muscle growth and recovery. The inclusion of sucralose and artificial flavors means it's an ultra-processed product, which some consumers may prefer to limit. Individuals with dairy or soy allergies should avoid this product due to the presence of skimmed milk powder, whey protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate.

Claim check
1 claim not supported by label dataFront-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The pack says "Gluten Free", but its own ingredient list declares Dietary Fiber (Triticum Sativum (Wheat)-Bran), a gluten grain. The label does not say it was processed to remove gluten.
This describes the product’s packaging or its category, not a testable attribute of the food itself — so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
The glycemic index is a nutritional classification that cannot be verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition facts.
BCAA Powder is listed in the ingredients, but the label does not state the 20% concentration, so the strength cannot be confirmed.
This is the product’s regulatory food-category / usage designation (e.g. a Food for Special Dietary Use classification or a mandated “use under medical advice” direction) — printed because regulation requires it, not a benefit claim. An ingredient list can’t confirm or deny it, s
This is a functional claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts.
The label lists no partially-hydrogenated fat — the source of industrial trans fat — and the panel does not declare any, so the “no trans fat” claim is supported by the label.
The product name 'PentaSure HP' is present on the label.
Protein provides 46.4% of this product’s energy, meeting the 20% a “high protein” claim requires. (Protein claims are set on % of energy, not % by weight.)
The ingredients list Soy protein isolate, Skimmed Milk Powder, and Whey Protein Concentrate, which are three sources of protein.
The ingredients list Whey Protein Concentrate, Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP), and Soy protein isolate.
The ingredients list 'Nature Identical & Artificial Flavouring Substances (Banana Vanilla Flavour)'.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
