The Take
Core Power is not healthy. It is gym bro copium in a bottle with a Slop Score of 78.
Fairlife's ultra-filtered lowfat milk base delivers real protein and lactase, but the rest is a stack of artificial sweeteners and gums that scream ultra-processed convenience over actual food.
The Verdict
The marketing sells post-workout recovery. The label sells ultra-processed milk with fake sugars that trigger gut complaints and zero ancestral approval.
Skip Core Power. Buy plain full-fat cottage cheese for single-ingredient 25g protein and zero lab sweeteners. Slop Score: 78.
