When you say joint nutrition, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For most people, it's probably the legendary Alavis, which has long been one of the absolute leaders in the joint nutrition market. But there are plenty of other products that can compete with it quite well. The problem with joint nutrition, however, is that in the vast majority ofthey taste terrible and they cost quite a lot of money. Bodybuilding.com decided to solve this problem by introducing their own joint nutrition product, New 100% Joint Protect, some time ago.
Content of the review
This joint food is said to have a luxurious taste and an unbeatable price. Are these claims supported by facts or are they just a marketing ploy? We'll find out in our review today.
A very good formula with one major flaw
At first glance, the list of ingredients used in the case of New 100% Joint Protect looks rather short compared to the competition. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a disaster. If we look at the composition in more detail, we find the three most important active ingredients, namely glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane and chondroitin. Their presence should be a matter of course for quality joint nutrition, as these substances relieve joint pain and inflammation, tendons and muscles, and have a positive effect on metabolic reactions in cartilage, ensuring its proper functioning, strength and flexibility. More than their presence, however, we were pleased with the amount in which they are contained. In fact, the content of these three active ingredients in New 100% Joint Protect from Bodybuilding exceedsexceeds even the top-rated products in our ranking of the best joint nutrition products.
Also very welcome is the vitamin C content, which has a positive effect on the integrity of the hip joint and is therefore a good ingredient in joint nutrition. However, words of praise must go by the wayside when it comes to the collagen content. This is present in the highest quality products in several times the amountas it is an essential component of the hips that protects and keeps them healthy. New 100% Joint Protect does contain it, but only in minimal amounts, which certainly didn't impress us. It's a shame, though, because in other respects the formula is really good and inin some cases, it outperforms the best products in our big comparison.
Above average taste
One of the main attractions of joint nutrition from Bodybuilding has to be its great taste. So I wouldn't go overboard with any excessive praise, although it's true that in a comparisoncompared to, for example, the aforementioned Alavis, New 100% Joint Protect is a real treat. Still, I had to overdo it quite a bit when drinking it. The manufacturer recommends to mix one scoop in 100 ml of water. But the resulting drink really doesn't taste good at all. The first thing you feel is an unpleasant bitterness, which is then replaced by an overly sweet aftertaste. The logical step is therefore to use more water in the preparation. Personally, I would not recommend using less than 200 ml per scoop. At this ratio, the resulting taste is already quite good and it certainly tastes better than most competing products.
Hassle-free preparation and dosing
One packet of New 100% Joint Protect holds up to 140 servings, so it will last you a really long time. For that reason, I'm a little disappointed that the manufacturer didn't opt for some more practical packaging. The classic resealable pouch does the job, but after a while it starts to become less and less reliable. As for the recommended daily dose, the manufacturer states one scoop, i.e. 5 grams. However, there is no further mention of how long it is advisable to take the joint nutrition. In this respect, I must refer to our article Joint nutrition under scrutiny, where we dealt with this topic.I have never encountered any problem with the preparation itself. Joint nutrition dissolves very well in water and therefore it is not a problem to simply mix it. As a big plus, I see that it does not leave any deposits at the bottom of the shaker or foam excessively.
A great price that is second to none
When evaluating, we must of course also take into account the price, which is absolutely crucial for many people. In this respect, we have very good news for you. One dose of joint nutrition from Kulturistika will cost you a little over6 crowns, which is basically incomparable to products from the top positions of our ranking. In this respect, the praise is really justified, because the price-quality ratio of New 100% Joint Protect is really perfect thanks to this. Finding a similarly high quality joint nutrition at this price will definitely not be easy.
Conclusion.
After reading all of the above, it's probably clear that we have to end this entire review on a positive note. New 100% Joint Protect by Bodybuilding has some flaws that we definitely can't just overlook. These are mainly the low collagen content, which spoils the otherwise very hilarious composition. Taste-wise, we could imagine something a little better too, although it has to be admitted that taste is never a strong point of joint nutrition. But everything else deserves praise and ultimately we have to rate the joint nutrition from Kulturistika very positively.
