It's a protein powder, fiber supplement, and herbal supplement all mashed together in one product. Probably geared to be taken more like a daily vitamin for general health.
That's not a product I would buy - id rather have three products so I can dose each of them separately. Also, too many unnecessary carbs, and fat.
I actually do take a multivitamin, protein powder, and fiber supplement. I can dose each component independently and I'm sure I pay a lot less than this product just from rough estimation, although I haven't run the math for exact numbers.
- I take protein because I'm trying to get 215g of protein a day to add muscle mass, which is tough. It's mostly from food, but I do supplement, not everyday, but a 30-40g protein coffee when I don't have time for a high protein meal is helpful. You are right that living off the powders is unwise for multiple reasons.
- I take fiber because I used to be T2 diabetic when I was a lot heavier and had a worse diet. I just never stopped. Probably don't need it, but it's a small part of what I did to get normal blood sugar, and it worked (probably due to other things, not the fiber), but I'm not screwing with what worked.
- As for the multivitamin, my kid takes one, and it's delicious, so I take one too. Probably don't need it. Didn't take one for most of my life. Not worried about the sugar or teeth from two gummies a day.
That's part of why I don't want one product with everything in it.
- I want fiber everyday, but not protein everyday. Product doesn't do that.
- Some days are just busy and I might take more than one protein shake, does that mean I OD on fiber and vitamins?
I like products that have one job and do it well, rather than several and do it okay-ish.

I agree with you on the one job well, which is why I think it's good to supplement the vitamins you need at optimum levels for you instead of a multivitamin. I understand not everyone is interested in testing their levels though and it's easier with kids. My 2 take B, C, D, zinc, and omega as sprays\drops but they're used to it since young.
I'm sold on supplements. Our "whole foods" aren't what they used to be.

I understand the reservations from others that this is not completely protein, but it's a perfect alternative for those who can't take whey due to lactose intolerance.

Do you have a list of the stuff he took?

I was similar, not as severe. Had T2, but no major complications yet. I did the fiber and supplements, but also did weight training, took up a high protein lowish carb (not keto) diet, and lost 50-70 lbs.
Impossible to say which changes were effective and which weren't, because I didn't isolate them. So, I keep doing it, even though I'm sure some components are unnecessary.
