So humapro, It seems to be getting a lot of in between reviews. Some really like it, and some not so much. Hopefully today, I can provide you with some helpful feedback with my experience of it.

Well first off, what is Humapro? According To AlRI it is the Ultimate Protein Matrix...Formulted for Humans. According To ALRI the human body wastes 84% of whey protein, and is turned into blood sugar. So your really only utilizing 16% of that. Humapro is said to outdo whey protein by 501% with 83% less toxic waste. Thats a pretty big claim, but I really feel like the product delivered. To be honest, I don't know all the details of how it worked in my body, but I do know something worked.

One of the unique factors of Humapro is it says 4 scoops is the equivalent of 112 grams of protein, and 20 calories! Which is a very nice on a cut, or any lifting routine for that matter. Basically if claims are right you are able to get a more effective product than whey with the added benefit of a very low calorie product. You really cant complain about that, especially with the price of whey protein going up.

Taste: 7/10- I got the Grape flavor. And to be honest I was not to impressed with it. It was tolerable, but not at all the greatest tasting supplement. I will be going for Apple cider next, which I hear is much much better.

Mixability: 8/10- The product actually mixes pretty clean. You dont get the extra floaties you normally do with amino supplements, no clumping like with whey. The one thing though is the foam. If you put this in a shaker cup it does tend to foam up, and the foam is absolutely disgusting.

Effectiveness: 8/10- I really felt like humapro delivered. I at first was a little skeptical, but was glad I took the plunge and bought this. I saw much greater recovery than when I was just using whey or any amino intra supplement. I played around with this a few times. I took it post workout only, pre workout only, and intra. I also would throw it in my water bottle and sip on it all day long. The couple times I used it post workout only, I found I had little to no soreness the next day which I found to be pretty awesome. I really liked it as an intra workout supplement, and felt like thats where I got the most use. I did in fact cut back on whey protein quite significantly and not only do I feel better but I also dont spend nearly as much on whey, and its allowing me to throw that money back into food. Next go around I am just going to be using this solely for post workout and ditching whey protein all together. I will add to, even though I dropped my whey consumption down I never felt like I lost any strength or anything.

Value: 6/10- This is really where it falls short for me. 30 servings is 35.99 and 90 servings is 48 or so. The only problem is you really need the 3/4 scoop range for the maximum effectiveness I feel. I used two scoops and still had decent recovery, but the 3/4 was really the sweet spot. If though you use this as a total replacement for whey, I do feel like you could save money in the long run. It really depends on how much of a staple whey protein is in your diet. Needless to say the value is just okay. I would recommend the 90 serving, you chop that down to 30 with 3 scoops. Your looking at a 1.60 a use at that point.

Overall: 7/10- The only real downfall for me on this was the price. But you really do get a few products in one. Its a protein replacement, and has EAA's too. So you probably wont need an intra even if you use it for just that. I personally would recommend it just to try it out. I feel like it contributed well to my recovery and helped to cut back on some of the calories I would throw in via whey. I know I'm probably going to keep it around for a while. Typically amongst us bodybuilders we like to stick with what we know, and while cutting whey may seem crazy, at the current rising price point it may not be such a bad idea. Keep strong, and keep lifting.

Solid amino acid profile

I have finished 10 containers of various flavors of Humapro and 4 tubs of the tablets. I stocked up with some good deals that I found on the net and another SR member was cleaning out his closet and sold me 6 jugs for $140.

I’ve seen the debate several times is this a protein or an amino acid blend?
I would like to quote Garlick “our favorite supplement guru” who summed it up perfectly in my log “You do know that all protein really is just amino acids that have been bound together in a particular form in order to create a protein molecule?? So you're question isn't quite correct in asking, is Humapro Amino or protein, well it could be both.

What the real question is, do the aminos together, bind to make a whole protein, and they don't. So officially, Humapro is not a protein, but rather an amino matrix, which is an "almost protein" molecule. It's a grouping of amino acids that's extremely close to complete.

The way it works, is basically that whey protein, when ingested, has to have some amount of it removed in order to be used by the body in order to build human proteins.

Humapro uses vegetable enzymes instead of animal products in order to create an amino matrix that's very close to human protein molecules. So close that it's essentially 99% complete. There's an additional 1% that needs to be added by your body in order for it to convert "officially" to a human protein molecule.

This makes absorption extremely fast, and use extremely efficient.

This also means, it's theoretically better than whey or soy proteins, because it doesn't break down, and remove waste from the molecule, but rather uses it directly.

Now, this is all fairly theoretical in how this works, as there have been studies, but most are sponsored by the company that makes Humapro, so it's hard to be 100% sure that this is actually how it would work in use.”

Dosing / Results
I have run this several ways: as a standalone protein product, an amino product, stacked with whey protein and blends, stacked with and without BCAA’s, and mixed with carbs. I've tried this Pre – Intra – Post workout and pre bed.

I lift early in the morning and I hate lifting with heavy stuff in my stomach. I had best results while using it with my pre workout mixing it directly with my pre(jack3d/micro/ect…). The flavors blend really well with most pre’s and isn't heavy on the stomach. I never once had any GI problems with Humapro.

I like to use whey post workout but hate it pre workout so Humapro works perfect for me.

If you're constantly pushing for size and strength gains I don't think this is something that you'll want to use as a primary protein supplement but alongside other proteins. If you're cutting this could be a perfect addition to your stack. An Ultra-low calorie amino/protein supplement to give your macro counts a boost without adding a ton of calories.

I had solid results in the last 8 months setting PR’s on a regular basis. I'm not foolish enough to give even 1/2 of the credit to Humapro but it was one staple in my stack for a very long time.

Price
Is it worth the price? It’s expensive but worth every penny. Good deals are few and far between these days. Lockout has 5% or 10% off deals all the time, look for a sale and jump on it. I think the tabs are the best way to go If you’re looking for something less expensive and easy to dose. $50 for 450 tabs or $.50 for the equivalent of 25 grams of protein, that’s less expensive than most powdered proteins.

My favorite was taking the tabs with me on Vacation instead of packing a jug of powder. With the upcharge on luggage these days packing a 2# jug in a suitcase just doesn't cut it anymore.

Taste
All the flavors are light and fruit based on the tangy acidic side. Nothing overly sweet and no creamy flavors like vanilla or chocolate. Everyone has different tastes but this is how I rank the flavors best to worst: orange surprise, sour grape, apple cider, peach/mango and pineapple. None of them are bad but I couldn't say that I loved anyone of them. I would recommend the orange 1st and I'll never get the pineapple again but that’s just me.

Summary
This is a unique product but it’s not going to change how we use protein supplements. I think it is a good addition to a stack if you have the extra cash or you're a vegetarian (made from vegetable enzymes). For best results Humapro shouldn't replace your whey or protein blends but be used alongside them as a supplement, to your supplements.

I know a lot of people bash this product, with the whole mother milk stuff and all, but I like to see things with my own eyes.

Value 9/10 f you're not taking six servings a day, this prduct can last anywhere from a month to two months. I use it pre and post workout, and before bed. It's actually almost cheaper than buying most protein, unless you're buying bulk.

Taste 6/10 The pills are bland and remind me of a multivitamin kinda taste, so nothing pleasure inducing here.

Effectiveness 8/10 I actually did get some gains using this stuff, and recovery was insane. Even Macintosh out Squats and deads, I was hardly sore the next day, and I'm always sore after those two exercises. For some reason, I could feel a slight wave of tiredness about forty minutes after taking each dose, which was welcome at bedtime, but.not for workouts. Since I was also using craze, it balanced out and didn't hinder me at all, still had insane energy. Calorie content is very low too, which makes this perfect for a cut cycle.

Overall, this is a good product, but its nothing absolutely earth shattering. It's innovative, its different, but it didn't change the supp game like most people expect out of the claims that were on the website for ALRI. Definetly worth a shot though guys, give it a go.

First off I'm a huge fan of alr industries, prior to using Humapro, I've used WTF and chian'd out to great effect. I saw humapro first advertised in Flex a few years ago and I was real curious about it as they claimed its so much more effect than regular whey protein. So I did some research and I was impressed with the facts. And long story short I finally got my hands on Humapro, and since then I've had a loving for this amazing and unique protein product.

***EFFECTIVENESS***
9/10

I have used humapro on and off since last year, I have used way over several tubs of this stuff. Most recently for my pre contest diet where I used multiple servings to great effect. I noticed almost instantly I become much more learner, even in the off-season and humapro helped me preserve real lean mass whilst dieting down. I have even used humapro and chain'd out as my sole protein source for an entire week and it leaned me out like never before, but the cost was too expensive to do this again and I was literally starving at times. Humapro didn't fulfill my appetite as much as I would've hoped, but besides that its the most effective protein source I've ever used, with 99% being absorbed by the body, its the most anabolic source of protein by far, and far superior to whey protein!

***MIXIBILITY***
9/10

Humapro mixed real well, 2 scoops added to about 10.oz of water and it was good to go, no clumps and particles at the bottom of my shaker. But it does tend to foam a lot and make sure you have your finger on your shakers lid, or else it will pop open, not too fun. And scoop size was nice and small, not huge scoops! Very pleased by that as I could easily fit it into any container I wanted.

***TASTE***
7/10

Well taste is personal preference, and to me both the grape and apple cider flavor tasted oddly unique, and very artificial. Haven't tasted anything like it in all honesty, but the odd taste is different and I like different lol, so a 7 is a decent score, I have tasted worse and the taste is mighty fresh compared to regular whey!

***PRICE***
7/10

It costed me R550(± $80) which is hefty for a protein supplement, but with it offering 60 servings It wasn't so bad. And with it being so versatile I used it as a protein replacement on many occasions. So it is well worth the excessive cost I pay here in S.A, considering other proteins do cost more here like Nitro tech etc... A container lasts an average of more or less two weeks for me.

***Overall***
9/10

Besides the excessive cost and weird funky taste, its safe to say Humapro is well worth the hype. It leaned me out and helped me add lean mass both offseason and precontest dieting. Seriously there is no other protein supplement that can boast of a 99:1 utilization ratio! Truly worth the price! And with it being super low in calories and carbs its an ideal protein source for anytime of the day! This stuff is addictive, I have warned you!
Recommended for sure!

Fridge

I personally think this stuff is great.First time I ever used it was during my first off season which i didnt know much. This was my only post work out drink. No whey or carbs. And i still managed to put of lots of muscle. But my diet was also in check, so i am not saying its just from humapro. But the label says what it is and thats the truth.I wouldnt replace whole foods with this totally, but if you want to cut out a few calories this product works perfect to keep your protein there.

Humapro is categorized here as Amino Acids but I think should be in the Protein section. It is technically EAA's in a formulated ratio that mimics the exact protein profile that humans ingest. ALRI Claims that Humapro is 99% utilized while Whey Protein is only 16% utilized and the rest is waste goes down the toilet.

The science behind is something to check out. I read up on it on there website and gave it a test. I completely stopped taking whey and used Humapro only.

I bought 2 bottles of the powder and 1 bottle of the pills. I played around with the dosing, I used it pre and post on every workout, some days I replaced a couple meals, some days I replaced my food protein completely.


Taste (8/10): In regards to taste it varies. I tried the pills, apple cider, and orange surprise. Orange surprise is really good, taste like tang and smells like orange sherbert. Apple cider I didn't like much but that's just me. The pills have no taste.

Effectiveness (10/10): After finishing the tub of pills and one tub of powder my weight was exactly the same. But my waist was noticeably leaner. Meaning I gained muscle and lost fat. I regret not taking measurement but Humapro was the only factor that changed in my routine. The fact that the calories per serving are next to nothing is definitely a factor. My recovery was a little better as well.

Price (10/10): $48.99 for 90 servings. Comes out to be 54 cents a serving. Each serving 28g protein. As a protein supplement and protein whole food replacement it is very cost effective.

Overall(10/10): I believe this is a revolutionary product. The changes I saw in my physique has made me a believer. My buddies ask me about Humapro and I can't really explain the Nitrogen Balance or utilization but whatever it is, it works. I only use whey isolate for protein pancakes now but I will never use it as a pre, post or meal replacement again. I think anyone should give it a try. It's been out a few years now and I think not too many people are trying it because of the fact that is something different and maybe the companies past reputation, but I took the plunge and glad I did.

Absolutely the best cutting edge new supplement out there. This stuff is so revolutionary. You really have to read the science behind it on their web-site, (as well as a laymen can) buy some, and experience it for yourself. I'm still pretty amazed at the intensity and duration of my workouts. I've been working out for about 30 years now, and have used alot of traditional proteins (as you can imagine), with all the traditional negative side effects that came with them like gas, loose bowels, diareah. This stuff has changed the game for me. I will NEVER EVER go back to any dairy based protein supplement as long as this stuff is around. As with anything new, it takes a little while to re-educate yourself. But, once you have found your sweet spot using this supplement, the sky will be your limit, and your body will say, "Now thats what I'm talking about."

Ok, so I finally finished up my first tub of th is stuff. I have been reading some very intriguing logs on this from some very reputable lifters. Otherwise, I would have not bought into the hype, and would have passed on it. A product that is as effective with whey without the calories? Doubtful. However, I took the plunge, and after trying it, I got to say, something is working for sure.

Ingredients: 10/10
It includes both BCAAs and well as EAAS and some B vitamins to boot. It also has bitter root melon which has been proven to lower glucose levels.

This stuff is said to be equal to 25 grams of protein per scoop, while only have a fraction of the calories (.4 calories per scoop)! HumaPro produces 82 times less waste than Soy or Whey protein, and is 99% absorbed. Consequently, the need for less.

HumaPro is produced in a cGMP and NSF certified facility utilizing pharm grade Ajinmoto Amino Acids. It does not contain any dairy or animal products, sodium, gluten, sugar, or preservatives.

Mixability: 10/10
I have never, ever, had a product that mixed as well as this. Unreal. They say its due to the Ajinmoto BCAAs, but I have bought those before, and they still didn't mix this well.

Taste: 10/10
I bought Apple Cider, and loved it. I also have an unopened container of Sour Grape that I'll start today. I can speak for the Apple Cider though, and its delicious!

Effects: 10/10
I had been reading on some logs of how a lot of people in calorie deficits took this stuff in place of protein, thus enabling them to lower their calories. I was very skeptical, but curious. Who's to say that these guys hadn't revolutionized the game? They sure did have enough support to back up the claims. I bought it, and honestly, immediately, I could feel the effects. The next few days I was already fresher, and had endless energy in the gym. I started taking this more, and lowered protein some. I didn't lose any strength, but instead leaned up some more, and looked fuller and tighter (nitrogen utilization?). I wasn't doing anything differently, so I attribute this to HumaPro. I also seemed to not be bloated at all and/or no gas that I sometimes get with whey. Maybe these guys are on to something about nitrogen waste??!

Dosing: First, I started off by taking a scoop upon waking, then after workouts and before bed. Now, I am sliding a scoop in between some meals.

Value: 9.5/10
While I have took a container, I will probably need another or two to fully give this a 10/10. This stuff is expensive, but you can find it cheaper if you look around.

Overall this supplement works. I can't fully explain it, but it does. Read up on their website for a more scientific explanation. I have not cut out whey completey, but I definitely have way less these days. I lowered my protein only slightly, and the way I see it is that I am utilizing way more than ever since I am supplementing with HumaPro. I would definitely recommend this to the serious BBer.

They offer this in tablets as well, but I prefer the powder.

Love this protein! Gotta get it from all star, if you know a better place let me know.

The pills are the way to go. The powders are not bad either, way easier to clean up after too.

As far as recovery and gaining mass it does work. I can feel it just like with whey but without the bloat.

Does not curb my hunger so much but I do feel better after taking. I don't use it for post workout but take dark matter now until I can find something better.

HumaPro? Haha try HumaSleep. I took this supplement as advised on the bottle but still had to lower the dosage. It states take 5 Capsules 20 minutes prior to training. I seriously almost fell asleep lifting weights. I assumed that it was the L-Tryptophan that made me very sleepy so I used two capsules before I go to bed and sleep pretty well but have crazy dreams. Pricey, Good Sleep Aid, Would not recommend for muscle building.
