Summary |
VPX Zero Carb® Protein
VPX, a leader in the bodybuilding market, has been known for its work in the field of Whey Protein Isolate supplements, but few companies have worked so hard to improve this already excellent diet supplement. The VPX Zero Carb® Protein shake is 100% Whey Protein Isolate, but it offers a few extra points of interest to many bodybuilders and dieters alike. We will take a closer look at this product to see exactly what it has to offer. |
| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
VPX Zero Carb® Protein contains cold-filtered Cross-Flow Quadrafiltration Whey Protein Isolate as well as Dutch Cocoa (for flavoring), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Pyridoxine HCL (a B Vitamin), Sucralose (an artificial sweetner), Thiamine and Riboflavin and Cyanocobalamin (also B Vitamins).
The main component of this product, of course, is its Whey Protein Isolate, unique because of its filtration method. This Whey Protein Isolate maintains no sugars, fats, carbohydrates or Aspartame. The formula also keeps out any corn syrup or hydrogenated fats, making the product much healthier than some of the other whey protein powders available today.
The advantage of Whey Protein Isolate is that it contains a very high amount of protein in a very small package—there are fewer calories in this source of protein than many other sources. The Protein also comes with the added benefit of greater amino acid contents than many other proteins, making it a more complete protein source. The result is that this ingredient helps rebuild muscles in the body very quickly, helping to increase endurance and maximize exercise time.
However, this particular ingredient has very little effect on dieting—it is an exercise maximizer, not a weight loss ingredient. Whey Protein Isolate may help enhance endurance, but we do not feel that this ingredient on its own will produce significant weight loss. In fact, it is most often used for bodybuilding, not for dieting. This powder is not a meal replacement (each serving is only 80 calories), so consumers looking to replace meals will have to look elsewhere.

| Website |
|
The official website for VPX Zero Carb® Protein is a part of its manufacturer’s site. The short segment on the site provides a description as well as a full ingredient list. There were, however, no customer testimonials or guarantees provided for the product. Otherwise, the website is well designed and easy to use, and the information is helpful. We would prefer a little more support for the product, but the website is a helpful advertising tool for this and all of VPX’s products.

| Cost |
|
VPX Zero Carb® Protein is available on its official website for $58.50 per 2-pound container. The powder is available in chocolate or vanilla flavors, and is easy to order through the site’s purchasing system. We were unable to find shipping prices, but we assume they will be assessed upon checkout. There did not appear to be any guarantees or return policies available for this product, so consumers are on their own after purchasing the product. This price is not outrageous for Whey Protein powders, but it is still a high price for something that will not promote significant weight loss.

Not a weight loss supplement or meal replacement—not proven to help with weight loss.

No customer testimonials available online.

| Conclusion |
|
VPX Zero Carb® Protein comes from one of the country’s leaders in sports supplements. The special formulation helps bodybuilders increase exercise endurance without extra calories or fat. However, this supplement cannot be confused with a weight loss supplement—it is not designed to reduce body fat on its own. Zero Carb® Protein is designed for workout enhancement and bodybuilding assistance. The low-calorie formula is great for a pre-workout snack or post-workout rejuvenator, but it is not enough to support an entire meal, nor are there enough nutrients to replace a healthy meal. Additionally, there are no metabolism boosters, fat burners or hunger suppressants, the key ingredients to any successful diet supplement. For those looking to lose weight, the best and safest method to do so is to incorporate healthy meals, regular exercise and adequate water intake. For those looking for bodybuilding assistance, though, VPX Zero Carb® Protein may be a great addition to their regimen.
