Prozis also expanded into eSports by partnering with Bluejays Sports, a German eSports organisation, in July 2018.

Controversies
In June 2022, Miguel Milhão, owner and founder of Prozis, posted on LinkedIn: "It seems that unborn babies got their rights back in USA! Nature is healing!". He also defended gun ownership rights.

In early 2024, the French media questioned the political orientation of Prozis's partnerships, as several French affiliates belong to far-right and Neo-Nazi movements. They also criticized the positioning of Miguel Milhao in relation to anti-abortion declarations. Regarding these controversies, Miguel Milhão has declared: "People can do what they want, this isn't going to change. Everyone has their own ideas and my ideas are my ideas, not Prozis' ideas. Prozis has no ideas, Prozis is a company that lives to produce goods and services, it's as simple as that," clarified Miguel Milhão, who also reported on the position of many influencers who were in favor of his point of view.

In 2024, while interviewing the leader of Chega party in his videocast, Milhão called André Ventura “Portugal’s next Prime Minister” and said that in his own opinion Chega also is socialist in nature, and that he doesn’t vote in the Portuguese legislative elections because there aren’t true economically liberal parties in the country, also stating that he is a believer in God and a Christian.

Between 2014 and 2020, the owner of Prozis received €17,671,471, which places him 18th on the list of Portuguese (or other citizens based in Portugal) who received the most funds or subsidies from the European Union. After that year (2020), SÁBADO magazine detected two more approved projects totalling €815,270. In total, the businessman received at least €18,486,741 from the European Union in funds or subsidies.

Awards and recognition
Prozis was one of the brands that received, in Portugal, the "Escolha do Consumidor 2016" (Consumer's Choice) award in the area of health and well-being, more specifically in the category "Sports Supplements". For its success in exports, Prozis was also awarded the "Prémio Exportadora Revelação" (Exports Revelation Award), destined to distinguish and promote the success of companies that strive for export and international business. This prize was an initiative of Novobanco and Jornal de Negócios in a partnership with IGNIOS, who together created the 2016 edition of the Export and Internationalisation awards.
