Genepro sold at gnc and amazon is really good in hot beverages, soups it will turn clear liquids kinda milky but to me there is hardly any taste. Never tried it in straight water though. Keep hot liquids unDer 140degrees Fahrenheit

I loved cheesy cauliflower. Cook/steam cauliflower til very soft, toss it while hot into food processor, add shredded or sliced cheese, and whip it up. You can add GENEPRO Protein powder if you want to up the protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If using Genepro, I would only count the 15g of protein that are physically in a serving, not the 30g they claim. But I personally steer clear of it entirely, because it seems like a bunch of junk science to me.

In 2014 we posted about a lawsuit brought against Genepro (Musclegen) by Syntrax (SI03 Inc.) for false advertising. We just received the following statement from Genepro (Musclegen): "With us winning the case for relief from SI03, we have now filed a counterclaim against them for false advertising and purposely filing against us in 2014 for personal gain with no basis for filing. We are confident that the courts will rule in our favor. The original suit has been incredibly detrimental to our business and we are now pleading to the courts for their help in rectification." I'm attaching some of the original lawsuit as well as the court's order granting a motion for relief. "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Musclegen Research, Inc. 's Motion for Relief (ECF No. 53) is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Default Judgement (ECF No. 29) is VACATED." 70, Answer, Affirmatve Defenses, and Counterclaims.pdf 70-1, Exhibit 1.pdf 70-2, Exhibit 2.pdf 70-3, Exhibit 3-1.pdf 70-4, Exhibit 4-1.pdf 59 - order granting motion for relief.pdf

@@ShannonbKSU I don't have the packets (I got the big ol' tubs), but I believe the individual packets are meant to be a 'one-time use' deal. I think you would use one packet of the Protein powder for one full shake. I use a whole scoop of powder, a full packet of individual Crystal Light mix, and a whole bottle of Water (a 16.9 oz bottle). You could probably use a 20 oz bottle of water and that would work, too. Then, shake it up, add some ice, and BOOM, you're done! I have GENEPRO ordered via Amazon and en route to me...it is a unflavored poweder so I think I am just going to mix it into random stuff and see how it goes. Soup, crystal light, coffee....etc. It has glowing reviews from everyone who has tried it. I will probably post once I try it and give my 2 cents. Also- I bought some Snapware storage containers this weekend for my Protein Powder. The bottles that Syntrax puts the powder in does not fit in my cabinets. I got these for $9 each at my local store and they work perfectly. I just wrote the flavor on a piece of painters tape (removable) so I could tell them apart. Here is a link if anyone is looking for a container that fits a whole jug of Syntrax (or other powder): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004173R76/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Cheers- and happy Monday to all!

I'm in Mexico this week for work. At the breakfast buffet, put a smidgen of refried beans on my plate. Ooooo, must be a chili in there. The guac was delicious though. I'm hoping the business lunch will have good offering of protein. I'll bring a packet of genepro with me just in case. As I progress, I notice I do get hungry if I go 3 hours without protein. At home this won't happen but on travel it does. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

I used Isopure for a very short time, then I just couldn't stand it in anything. I switched to GENEPRO and am very happy with it. I can't smell or taste it at all.

I use GENEPRO in my smoothies and can not taste it. Only one tbsp is 30 grams Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love genepro.

Hallejillyah - My GENEPRO arrived yesterday but I haven't had the chance to try to yet. Is it legit tasteless and dissolves well? My pre-op diet was the same as yours! My surgery is at 1100(est) time today! I think I'm ready!

I am flying soon and only taking carry on. I of course need to bring Protein with me. Suggestions on how to pack my GENEPRO? I don't want to bring the entire 90 serving container. DS surgery 12/14/2016

GenePro powdered, unflavored protein is wonderful for anyone who struggles with getting their protein requirement. I put it in my morning coffee and that gives me 30 grams right off the bat. The 30 gram scoop is much smaller than other whey proteins that I've used and it is 100% undetectable! I've put it in soups, casseroles, sugar free pudding...you name it!

You best bet is to mix protein powders in with broth, strained soups (if allowed), etc. Genepro is unflavored and mixes in pretty well.

I have checked GENEPRO out I also got kicked in the teeth from some on here. Also, when I said to concentrate on her fluids I am just stating what my DR and Nutritionist had told me. Yes, Protein Drinks count as fluids so I agree there try and try again. But...like I said it doesn't take long to become dehydrated which in turn is horrible. When your fluids up she may feel like she can add more of her protein. There are other nonflavored proteins out there. I think INJURY carries one. Whatever it takes. I'm sorry if I offended anyone on here. I will still use my GENEPRO. It works for me!! Have a good one!!

I've tried GenePro, Syntrax, and Unjury. GenePro is my favorite, but it does seem too good to be true. Unjury is fine, but my heart races when I use it. Have no idea why. Syntrax is my #2 favorite: it dissolves quite well before you even start stirring it. Go with Syntrax.

@@bleonhardt It doesn't change it at all, at least to my palate. I use cream in my coffee, so I mix the scoop of GENEPRO with the coffee cream, then mix that into my coffee. It's really helped me and made my weight loss more successful!

Thanks for the info, Jerome at unjury...I'm well aware of the 'concerns' about Genepro. Your product unfortunately makes me vomit, so I've found something else that works. I'm losing weight and my labs have been stellar.

HI I am a true fan of the GENEPRO Protein I ordered it from Amazon the other day and I just got it by mail on friday. I tried it for the first time and OMG!!! absolutely AMAZING. I put it in my chicken broth it has no taste and the broth is like it has nothing in it. If you ever had coffee and you put the creamer in it and it may change the color of the coffee but it dissolves well this is how it does but it doesn't change the color its odorless and all. I would drink this forever......... BTW it is 50.00 for a 45 day supply and 39.00 for a 30 day supply 1 tablespoon is 30 grams of protein at amazon but you can go on genepro.com.

I started adding Genepro to my yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero) and I love that you can't taste it at all!

After reading this thread, I got a little curious and started to do some research. For context, note that I have a PhD in Bioengineering (from a top 10, US institution - will become relevant) and have spent the 15 years of my career as either a drug discovery scientist in 2 large pharma companies or in contract labs that perform independent safety and efficacy testing for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. While I'm not an expert in Protein biochemistry, I do know a bit about bioavailability and biodistribution (and similar topics) - and, as a scientist, am skeptical by nature. So I started to dig and do some research on GENEPRO. Long story short, I found minimal to no scientific evidence of the claims they make - increase in bypass of the intestinal digestive system by 94%, increase in absorbency to 97.8%, etc. The graphs they included were found in the marketing literature from Deerland enzymes - the company that makes Prohydrolase. The clinical data in their "Clinical Studies" section was not related to their specific product (and was incomplete at that). The award for "2015 Life Science Impact Product of the Year" was awarded by the Triangle Business Journal - a local business publication in Research Triangle Park - not a scientific trade publication, society or association. The CEO, "Dr." Parks, received a PhD from Canterbury University (Auckland, NZ). I am not familiar with this degree program or its accreditations, but at best once could consider its scientific rigor suspect. If nothing else, one has to wonder why an entrepreneur in the RTP area of NC - in spitting distance of 3 world-class research universities - needs to go to NZ for education. All this being said, to be fair we need to recognize that nutritional supplements are not FDA regulated and that none of the companies that manufacture these products are required to substantiate their claims. The take home message is not that their product is junk (there is no data to conclude that it isn't effective) - it's that one needs to be cautious about accepting their assertions wholesale. At a minimum, it's fair to say that they are over-inflating their "data" and lack independent scientific verification. If you read the fine print on their website, I believe that they are stating that their 30g of protein is an equivalent value - in simple terms, if their protein version is 3x more "bioavailable" than standard whey protein, ~10g of GenePro is equivalent to ~30g of standard whey protein - for whatever that's worth. Personally, I am still planning to use GenePro (my surgery is next week) as it does appear to be easy and tasteless, but to be safe will probably count this as 10-15g of protein and not 30g. Just wanted to share what I learned so everyone could make a slightly more educated decision for themselves! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I really appreciate this thread. I ordered Genepro after reading about how flavorless it is- and it really truly is flavorless - but we should all have legitimate concerns about how much protein is in a serving. I only log it as having 15g of protein per serving instead of 30 because I think the company is full of shit. So much so that now that I've read this thread and others I wouldn't buy it again because I can't even be assured it actually has ANY protein in it. I only use it to reach my protein stretch goal for the day, and not to hit the levels required by my plan. And I should probably just throw it away but hate wasting money haha.

I love it! I could not get my Protein in without. I have always drinked Protein shakes but after surgery I got where I could not choke them down. The chaulky taste just got to me! I tried Isopure and the after taste was more than I could handle. I have a cabinet full of different protein wheys....cannot take them! I am on my third bag of Genepro! I drink it mixed with Crystal Light lemonade, put it in oatmeal, coffee....etc. I keep a bag in my car...so I can always mix me a drink on the go. You can call the number on the website and they will send you a sample. You can also order it from Amazon.

This is when it really hits home. You are going through food withdrawals. I just had a revision from band to sleeve and I’m 14 days post and feeling the same thing, just not as intense as the first time around. Just don’t push it, please. Let the internal incision heal. I also just had my 2 week dr visit today and 6 more days until mushy to semi solids. You can do this. You’ll make it through and look back and be glad you did. Protein helps keep you full. I hate shakes and put unflavored GenePro in my broth. It’s a little scoop that has 30 grams and it really keeps you from feeling hungry. I hope this helps!

I also like the genepro medical grade protein. Its 30g per tbs, unflavored and adds very little "weird" taste to foods.

Thanks for that info! I've only tried isopure's zero carb clear drinks, I'll have to try the powders. I looked into genepro when I heard people talking about it but it's a blend of Proteins and I don't seem to handle blends very well. At least that's what I think it is that I'm not handling.
