Some initial feedbacks that we came across state that the product indeed is fulfilling all the expectations attached to it.

With the inclusion of DigeZyme, the product has greatly improved its gastro-friendliness which is often associated with whey supplements. The user feedback received largely states that the product has not caused any side effects or allergic reactions so far and hence, is safe.
Price/Value:
Price tag has been a consistent drawback of Divine Nutrition products and this one is no exception. Pro Mass is available in 1 kg and 2.7 kg jars. A 1-kg jar offers 6 servings (3 scoops per serving) and is available for around Rs. 1390. Hence, cost per serving comes to around Rs. 231 which is expensive almost to the extent of being premium. Spending over Rs. 200 per serving is not an ideal expense for most bodybuilders.
