I don't think the GNC product is all that.
It also says this.

Plus it seems to contain various different gums, Sugar types, and variations of Zinc, Magnesium, and other such things as well.
I think the Carb levels could be better, and why there is no Vitamin D in it, when you have Calcium content. Not sure the Calcium will be utilised as well as it could be, even with the presence of Magnesium and Phosphorus, (both Bone components), because D helps with Calcium uptake.
Although Cobalamin, (Vit B12), will help some.
Plus it looks like they've added about 3 different types of Whey.
They claim it's highly anabolic, but there's no evidence of Vitamin A or C, both natural Test boosters, although E, Zinc and Cholesterol are present, and clearly the Lecithin is from the Soy as is the Vit E.
It looks like an attempt to overcomplicate the thing to me.
Bottom line is, you could use a powder in two ways.
Concentrate with boosted Glutamine and BCAA's, then used solid Carb sources that might be compatable with it, like Cashews, Oats, Honey etc etc.
Or use a Carb based Protein Shake, and just get one with things like Maltodextrin, Palatinose, Glucomannan etc etc and try that.
Having several types of Whey, Zinc, etc etc, seems to be over egging the point, and will make it more expensive.
Plus having an award winning taste counts for nothing, if it isn't as beneficial as other less well tasting things, then you might as well just dump a small amount of crushed Cashews and Honey in some Nesquick, and get similar results for less money, if your product has more taste than substance.
So all in all, I think it's a reasonable product, but possibly a bit pricey, and overcomplicating the whole Protein shake idea.
Though regardless of what I just said, I'm not outright poo-pooing it let's say.
I use one called Protein and Complex Carbs made by Nutrisport in Wigan England.
Their products might be sold overseas, I couldn't tell you, and don't really look into other manufacturers products personally, only usually when discussions like this occur, so telling you who does the best thing is pointless. I can only go by what I use as a guide, for the type of Powder / content you could be trying to get.
