Hlo Friends, Here I’m going to review COMPLAN . Complan is a brand of powdered milk based protein drink that based in the UK. While using it I realised that COMPLAN is really not a good health drink. My cousin gives COMPLAN to her child for improving his health. But she also said that It will not result growth or improvement in weight . The product says that it helps to keep common infections away and it will enhance IQ and math ability. What a stupidity ? ! how can a drink enhane math ability! I can’t think about it. Approximately 242 calories, 15 grams of milk protein and 0 to 1 gram of fiber depending on the flavor is offered. The low fiber means that these drinks will likely not help to satisfy appetite. The company does not give good enough reasoning as to why their version of milk protein is better than others. What’s offered is plain powdered milk alongside added vitamins and minerals. There is no real reason given to take this product as opposed to just drinking regular skim milk The following ingredients which are added include palm oil( is high in saturated fat) and maltodextrin( added to thicken the product) . Skim milk is meant to be a reduced fat drink, but the added palm oil reintroduces what could be potentially harmful saturated fats. The low presence of fiber is also an issue. A good meal replacement should provide satiety through its high quality protein ( which this product has a cheap source of) and good fiber needed to satisfy overall hunger. Complan does not offer enough which can’t already bought for much cheaper. we use this with the direction but after stirring well the drink , there is always found the cream left in the glass. It will not completely dissolves. Since, the sugar content in Complan is quite high ( 29 gram in every 100 gram) and people mixes it with milk with already sugar in it, so this increases sugar content to somewhere above average. Taking this high quantity of sugar everyday can lead to sugar related disease for sure.
and therefore, it is recommended that the sugar content must be kept low or don’t mix additional sugar at all. So I do not prefer to use this anymore.
Thanks
