Profile

Prolab has been around since 1989, and remains one of the better known names among bodybuilders and athletes. One element of their product line that makes them unique is that they've built supplements around specific types of training and athletes. In 1999, Prolab Nutrition was bought by Natrol, Inc., a company that also sells products under the brand "Laci Le Beau." Natrol is certified with an "A" rating by the National Nutritional Foods Association, a designation achieved by fewer than 10% of the nation's nutrition companies.

Straight Up Facts

It combines cross flow, micro-filtered, cold processed, ion exchanged whey protein with a high amount of branched-chain amino acids. Prolab has also added a low-glycemic and high-glycemic carb blend, to fuel and support weight training and replace glycogen and provide a small amount of necessary fats. N-Large is high in glutamic acid and low in lactose.If you look at the supplement facts for N-Large, you'll see the calorie and carb count is relatively high - that's because this protein was created as a muscle builder and should only be used by those looking to bulk up.

Straight Up Review

Most reviewers agree on N-Large's effectiveness, but the jury's still out on the taste - some people love it, some hate it and the rest are sitting somewhere in between. It only comes in the basic flavors of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla, so you don't have a lot of options if you're not that impressed with a particular flavor. The powder can be a little clumpy, and the large serving size means you end up with a thicker drink when compared to other protein powders. N-Large is a good choice for bodybuilders and weight trainers who want to increase their calorie intake.
