Ok, I heard about GENEPRO from this site. I have been using it post op but not long enough to have a real opinion on how good it is (even though it is pretty good dissolving into anything and tasteless) BUT I have been seeing posts saying it is not actually the amount of protein it claims. Besides that, has anyone ever heard or have any actual evidence that it is unsafe or dangerous to use? I appreciate any fact based information (not really interested in information about the amount of protein being misrepresented although I understand that is not ideal for people counting protein grams) Thank you!

It's safe to use, just pointless.

I count it as 20 grams not 30 per scoop

Why did I just bust out laughing with this comment? I agree it's pointless too.

@Christina.Rose - I feel as though I should explain a little better. A short answer like the one I gave doesn't really help you any. And if you have tried searching on this site, you probably aren't having much luck with the abysmal search function this place has. Here is a better explanation of my opinion from an earlier post:

What would you suggest for unflavored protein powder for newly sleeved people imstead of Genepro? Im getting sleeved on Friday and now have no problem with Premier, but worried because so many people say their tastes have changed. I like being prepared.

I had zero luck with any of the unflavored powders. They were all vile unless I mixed them with strong soups like tomato or curried lentil.

What I do recommend is finding a place called Vitamin Shoppe if there is one around you. They are incredibly helpful. But best of all, if you buy any protein powder from then and don't like it for ANY REASON, return it for full value in-store credit. I told them about my surgery and they never one questioned me when I returned many different powders.

Sent from my phone. Please forgive brevity and spelling.

I used it and it saved my life. I was down to only getting between 200 & 300 calories per day after surgery during weeks 4-6 and dangerously low blood pressure levels when I found gene pro from a vsg lady I follow on Instagram her name is vsgchelsea. I took it and felt better & was able to function at work,hope you find one that works for you.

'Bio Chem' due to no sugar and no fat, low sodium and also high potassium. It's 20 grams of protein and 90 calories a serving. Perfect for me.

Is this a shake or a powder? Flavored?

It comes in chocolate and vanilla flavors, also plain. I use plain.

It's a powder.

I was using genepro and liked it didn't have a taste. But my NUT said stop!!! That it's impossible to have 30g of protein in one tablespoon. She strongly advised me to switch back to unjury unflavored. I like it I guess. I also like unjury chocolate. Pure protein is good too. I like switching it around


Thanks Nancy
