Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I take this if I am lactose intolerant?

This product contains whey protein derived from milk. Individuals with lactose sensitivity may experience discomfort, though whey isolate contains less lactose than concentrate.

What is the best time of day to consume this?

It is most effective immediately post-workout, but can be taken at any time of day to help meet your total daily protein intake.

Should I mix it with water or milk?

Mixing with water reduces calories and ensures faster absorption. Mixing with milk adds extra calories and a creamier texture.

Is this safe for teenagers?

It is generally safe for active adolescents, but it is recommended to consult with a doctor or nutritionist to ensure it fits into an overall balanced diet.

Does this contain banned substances?

Optimum Nutrition focuses on quality control, but always check the label for specific 'Informed Choice' certifications if you are a competitive athlete subject to testing.

Troubleshooting

Powder is clumping during mixing

Ensure you are adding the liquid to the shaker first, then the powder. Using a blender ball or a mechanical blender can also help.

Digestive discomfort after consumption

Ensure you are not consuming more than the recommended serving size and consider mixing with water rather than milk if lactose sensitivity is a factor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best consistency, always add the liquid to your shaker cup before adding the protein powder. If using a blender, add ice or frozen fruits last to ensure the powder is fully incorporated.

Regarding compatibility, this powder is intended for healthy adults; it is not a replacement for a balanced diet. Always store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent clumping or moisture degradation. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
