The product line also includes a number of nutritional products, such as Infusion – which is described as a “nutrient complex.”\u00a0 According to the company, Infusion\u00a0 “… effectively stimulates growth, increases metabolism, promotes fat loss and hormonal equilibrium.”\u00a0 It comes in four flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Oatmeal, Wildberry Yogurt and Vanilla Caramel.<\/p>\n

Comments:<\/strong> Infusion is a straightforward supplement with some quality ingredients (such as micellar casein<\/a>). One serving delivers a solid amount of protein (47g), fiber (7g) and calories (310). It’s virtually a meal replacement, and could probably be used as one during a cutting phase. It’s also an great source of calcium and potassium\u2014minerals that most people don’t consume enough of. In addition, it’s low in sodium (a mineral that most people consume TOO much of), and even provides some gut-healthy, probiotic cultures.\u00a0 The fat content is moderate as well, and comes from some fairly healthy sources.<\/p>\n

Infusion doesn’t quite cut it in the TASTE department, however. I ordered a container of the Vanilla Caramel, as the last few protein powders I trialed were chocolate, and I wanted something different. This may have been a mistake, however, as the Vanilla Caramel was disappointingly flat.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t expect anything vanilla-flavored to knock my socks off, but there are plenty of vanilla protein powders out there that are pretty good, if not outstanding (“Cake Batter” Monster Milk<\/a> comes to mind). But my container of Infusion was was dull and lifeless even by “plain vanilla” standards… edible (ok, drinkable), but well below the standard set by Cytosport, Optimum, etc.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Infusion stilll appears to be a well-made product from a nutritional perspective, and of the four different flavors, maybe I just chose the clunker… the Cinnamon Oatmeal, Wildberry Yogurt and\/or the Chocolate Peanut Butter have good reviews and might have worked better.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, Infusion is still chock-full of high-quality protein and fiber; and looks like a solid choice for anyone looking for a “value-added” protein supp.<\/p>\n
