Is SEEQ Protein Powder Good for You?

SEEQ Nutrition Facts

SEEQ is a protein supplement, so I will start my SEEQ protein review with the Nutrition Facts.

Before proceeding, it is important to note that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permits up to a 20% margin of error on Nutrition Facts panel values.

So if a serving says it contains 20 grams of protein, it could actually be as low as 15 or as high as 25.

For this reason, I never pay too much attention to the Nutrition Facts.

1 serving SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder contains 100 calories and 22 grams of protein.

Assuming that this is correct, 100:22 is a great calorie to protein ratio; in fact, it is about as good as it gets.

There are 4 calories in 1 gram of protein, so if you want to eat 22 grams of protein, you have to eat at least 88 calories.

This means all but 12 calories SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder come from protein.

It follows that apart from protein, there is not much else in SEEQ protein powder.

There is no fat, only 1 gram of carbohydrate, no fiber, and no sugar.

This, although probably appealing to some, is concerning to me.

When a protein powder has such an extreme nutrition profile, it is an indication that it is made with ultra-processed ingredients.

SEEQ Ingredients

SEEQ makes unique protein powders; there are not many brands with flavors like Mango Pineapple and Strawberry Lemonade.

I was therefore curious to see what was on the ingredient list, and I was disappointed.

As you can see below, SEEQ uses the same bad ingredients as most protein powder companies.

Whey Protein Isolate, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Malic Acid, Sucralose, Polysorbate 80, Sunflower Lecithin, Citric Acid, Beet Root Extract (Color), Reb A (Stevia), Silicone (Anti-Foaming Agent)

This list includes several artificial ingredients, as well as an ultra-processed protein source.

Whey Protein Isolate

The first and primary ingredient is Whey Protein Isolate.

Whey protein isolates are made by mechanically and chemically removing the non-protein components of milk, thereby concentrating the protein components to higher levels.

They typically contain so little lactose, which is great for individuals with lactose intolerance, but they are also ultra-processed.

And ultra-processed protein isolates have been stripped of the fats, carbs, fiber, and enzymes that help you break them down.

You therefore do not digest them in the same way that you do whole foods, which can affect your gut health.

Specifically, studies show that regularly eating protein concentrates and isolates can disrupt your gut microbiome and cause the formation of toxic byproducts in your gut (Nutrients, 2018; Mol Nutr Food Res, 2024).

Food Additives

SEEQ’s Fruit Punch Protein Powder contains a cocktail of food additives including emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors, and sugar substitutes.

Even in small quantities, ingredients like these can cause painful side effects and even long-term health issues.

I myself drank 1 serving and can confirm that it causes bloating.

Regularly eating ultra-processed additives can also alter the composition and function of your gut microbiome (North Clin Istanb, 2019).

These shifts, known gut dysbiosis, contribute to a wide range of chronic diseases, including diabetes and even certain cancers (J Exp Med, 2019).

Gut dysbiosis is so problematic because it causes a cascade of problems, including intestinal permeability, systemic inflammation, impaired nutrient absorption, and reduced short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production.

In summary, I would not recommend that anyone regularly use SEEQ protein powder based on the ingredients alone.

There are far too many and they are far too processed.

SEEQ Taste and Texture

Taste is so subjective that I hesitate to include it in my SEEQ protein review.

A protein powder that one person craves might make another person gag.

For the sake of the review, however, I will share my thoughts on how SEEQ protein tastes and mixes.

Fruit punch is a fun flavor of protein powder, and I never had another fruit punch-flavored protein supplement, so this was exciting for me.

It tastes a lot like Koolaid or Jello, and mixes really easily.

The sweetness was too much for me, probably due to the sucralose, and mixing the powder with an electric mixer left a layer of slimy foam.

Other than that, however, this was a good flavor with a pleasant texture.

I imagine that kids or teenagers would love it.

Summary

In short, SEEQ protein powder, which was popularized by its fun, novel flavors, is not a brand that I would recommend.

While it is great to see a company branching out and offering flavors other than chocolate and vanilla, I cannot stand behind a product that contains so many ultra-processed and artificial ingredients.

And if you have a sensitive stomach, SEEQ is definitely not the brand for you.
