Liquid Protein

actually my nurse suggested them for me. I had about a third of the tube to a glass of ice Water. I like the grape flavor. Do not get the fruit punch. It is nasty. You can add some lemon if you like. It tastes like grape kook aide. I have been doing them everyday.

I have not heard it was junk Protein. I am going to call doc and see what they say.

I would suggest doing your own researching online, no just here and not just what your Nut/Dr tells you...what are the differences between collagen vs whey Protein.< /p>

Tried my first Isopure yesterday (apple melon). I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't too terrible with ice and slightly watered down

Unless it's actual peer reviewed Medical journal research from credible sources, online research would not be the way to go, and unfortunately those journals cost money to be able to view them, most of them; at this time, I will have to trust my surgical team. Stuff that is on the web is not always credible. Thanks for the input; I still have not taken any of them, and I am not sure I will until I check with my team.

My doctor had me use them for the first two weeks after surgery!

My doctors office said that the body can't absorb more than 30g of Protein at a time. Better make sure you're able absorb all of it before you waste your money.

The PDCAAS score for this is 4 out of 100 possible points. Which means you are only going to get 4% of the listed Protein absorbed into your body.

ok, got mine in the mail today and opened one. Here is my take on it; YUCK!!!!! All I can tell you is this is a great way to up my Water intake. A sip of Protein, half a bottle of Water, a sip of Protein, another half a bottle of water...you get the idea!!!

[rking 484]

That's why I get a glass of Water, about 15 oz or so and pour 1/3 of the tube in. I just bought a berry one today and it tastes great. Have a message into my doc about the collagen Protein. I looked at the amino acids and am talking to my nephew about it who was a biology major and knows protein and amino acids very well.

aha - I knew there was a trick I was missing. Thanks for the tip!!

From what I have read and my nutritionist, the best and easiest absorbed Protein are isolates. Since the absorption factor on these shots are so low, they might be handy as flavor enhancers for Water, but I wouldn't count them towards my daily Protein intake. I was given ProSource Nocarb in the hospital. They are very thick so I added them to my tea, but you can drink them straight from the pouch. They only come in orange cream and strawberry flavors though. Personally I found I did better with the Isopure Unflavored and mixing it to whatever I needed.

I don't like how they taste at all.. Or the consistency but if you like them I think it's okay for your bad Protein days where you won't hit your goal. But don't count on them for the rest of your life. They will make you feel full but they do not count as a Meal Replacement (like most shakes do). My doctor said only use them to supplement. And my NUT hates me drinking my protein anyways.. She would rather me eat it. But everyone's Docs and NUTs are different.

I wasted my money on the Isopure Zero. It was so awful. It left my mouth so dry. I think it took the moisture out of my bones and soul. It took me days to feel hydrated again.

That's how I felt with muscle milk, chalky! I am going to stick to making my own from the recipes I got from my bariatric team.
