My friend just dropped off a bunch for me....42g of Protein in 3oz. Im a little nervous, my gag reflex has been so awful lately. Everything makes me sick!

Ew yes.... I've heard they don't have the right kind of protein in them.

My surgeon and nutritionist say stay away from Protein shots. I can't think at this moment what specific ingredient is in this that we shouldn't have. If I read the label I would know. But off the top of my head I don't remember.

Plus we only absorb 30grams of protein (max) at a time.

If I remember the ingredient I will get back to you. If someone can help me remember that would be great too.

Yeah, they have them at walmart. That's not whey isolate. (i don't think. I think that's why I skipped them)

The Ingredients are "Water, Complete Protein Matrix (Ids Proprietary Blend of Collagen Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Casein Protein Isolate), Phosphoric Acid, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Sucralose, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Red 40, Calcium Disodium Salt. Contains: Milk." Idk what percentages are, but "blend of collagen protein isolate" comes first, and whey protein isolate comes second. So Idk. It probably isn't really 48 grams that we can digest, but some. I'll ask my nutritionist.

Yup collagen is the bad stuff....would depend on how much whey....my guess is much collagen and little whey....that's just a guess!

It's collagen that makes its a no no.

Interesting to know, I usually by one if I' m out shopping and need something. Thanks for sharing guys.

Collagen protein is an incomplete protein meaning that it does not have one or more of the nine essential amino acids. Essential because your body requires them but cannot synthesize them on its own. More importantly, collagen protein has a PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) score of 0.08 which means that it is virtually indigestible. All the protein in the world is useless if your body can't digest it. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act requires that ingredients be listed in descending order of predominance and weight. So if collagen is listed first, it is the most predominant ingredient.

New Whey.. That Is So Nasty I Tried It When It First Came Out It Taste Like Thick Cough Syrup
