Calcium-Free Protein

[blashlee 509]

Has anyone found or can anyone recommend a Protein Powder or drink that is calcium-free or very very low in Calcium? I work out mostly in the evening and drink a shake or Protein Drink after, but I also take my Iron at night and I was advised by my dr to find a Protein that is calcium-free or incredibly low in calcium, as calcium affects iron absorption. I can't mix calcium and iron within 6 hours of each other, which is nearly impossible if I'm having Protein shakes (that have calcium) 3-4x a day.

Thanks in advance!

your only choice would be a non whey based Protein, which i know nothing about. but they do make hemp Protein, and plant protein etc mixes, vegan mixes would work, but 6 hours?? , that seems a bit long, i take my Vitamin with Iron 1 hour after my morning meal, then 2 hours later i have an chewable Calcium and i have my Protein shake and that is at m nutrition and surgeons schedule,. my numbers are all nice and high. But to each surgeon their own. Everyone's surgeon has different guidelines.

these are both about 15% Calcium which is pretty low

@Stevehud Could be different; i'm doing bypass and you had the sleeve, the absorbption is different I guess.

@@blashlee Your procedure is totally different! You need advice from the bypass patients for sure!

Why don't you just take the Iron in the morning then you could have your Protein Shake after your work out.

Look into pea Protein as another source, I haven't tried it yet, but you can find it on Amazon.com. Good luck to you!

Pea Protein, soy isolate, hemp protein will all work.

@cheryl2586 Because I also drink my Protein shakes for Breakfast, so that would mean having to wait 6 hours to do that as well. I don't just drink it when I work out, I kind of start and finish my day with it.
