Do not listen to the above comment, I am in medical school. Yes dietary cholesterol affects your cholesterol levels. But Cholesterol has many important functions, hormones, phospholipid bilayers of cells, etc. And also remember there are different kinds of lipids, some kinds are good for you. And there is good cholesterol HDL and bad cholesterol LDL. But no this product does not contain too much cholesterol. This product is top notch and doesn't use useless amino acids (amino spiking) to falsify the amount of protein in there product. I. Ayon is wrong, please do not listen to him...

My uneducated guess? The cholesterol comes from the flavoring. The protein you linked is unflavored and probably tastes horrible.

What I am trying to ask is whether it is healthy enough to consume a product which has 10% cholesterol 4-5 times a week?

The dietary information on the label is for 1 or 2 scoops, so base your decision on that and your personal needs. I always use one whole scoop.

It's possible that it's an error, OR it's also possible that they're warning you that the protein that's sourced from peas is less-bioavailable than that from whey, which is the "gold standard" of protein powder bioavailability. (Funny, but I always thought that egg whites were the highest, then whey.)

No, there is no cholesterol. Ingredients: whey protein isolate, Whey protein concentrate, Xanthum gum

I don't know for sure, because there are no nutritional values listed on the label, i.e., fat content, carbohydrate content, sugar, sodium e.t.c. Does anybody know. It seems to be pure but can not tell for sure. I use it to make sugar free dark chocolate, with sugar free Cocoa powder and Stevia powder instead of sugar

Not really. It depends on what else you're eating and how physically active you are. If you are eating a lot of foods that are high in cholesterol, then you need to be concerned. If you are consuming massive amounts of whey protein on a daily basis and not being physically active, there is cause for concern. I am not a doctor and I don't know your personal health situation. For me, after a year of using organic whey protein, my bad cholesterol has gone done and my good cholesterol is up. I also do hard physical work every day and watch my diet carefully. My son had to have his bodyfat checked for wrestling, so I had mine taken for the fun of it, and it was 10%. Hope this helps you. Not really.

I was using 2 tblsp a day spread out. One in the morning with my oatmeal and one with my protein shake. Remember you need fat in your diet and 1.5g of fat is nothing. This cacao is all natural and unsweetened it's a good fat.

No. I have asked the company many times, as they claim this is CLEAN protein in all of their marketing. Management at BulkSupplements is obviously not interested in the long term health of the consumer. I certainly look on milk and yogurt products for assurance of not being treated with growth hormones....and the same goes for any protein supplement which is 100% derived from dairy. Take a look at Jay Robb protein as a healthier alternative.

Hi! When I was buying this product i was checking all the ingredients to make sure i got what I really want. And as their web site says "Platinum Hydrowhey is ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress." I hope my answer will help you! Vitaliy H.

As i have finished the package already, not sure. However, you can just look at the nutrition label on the back. Go to their website, and you can look it up. Or other websites that sell it may have the label you can view the picture of it. Great product though. Price/gram of high quality, organic whey...this is your best bet. I reviewed at least a dozen other organic whey products before choosing this one. I just wish they sold a quantity larger than 2lbs to help bring down the price/gram. Good luck

Mary: There is a scoop included (33 grams) which is considered a single serving upon which all of the nutritional information is based. I really enjoy it: it's clean, satisfying, eco-friendly packaging, lactose-free and a superior product, in my opinion, which is never humble. I've tried many other products and have yet to find one I like better. The 33g portion mixes up smooth, but with body and a luxurious mouth-feel, so you don't feel hungry or deprived, or disappointed by the watery texture. I also choose to bump mine up using Almond Milk instead of dairy, and fresh fruit makes it a true treat! Hope that is helpful!

7g, sat fat = 2.5g, trans fat = 0 other fats 4.5g total calories 100 calories from fat 60 (kind of high it seems, but since it is ORGANIC nut based it is to be expected.) And they taste great. Chocolate after taste with some coconut taste also stand out the most. I have no idea how a person would not like the taste of these bars. It does not have HFCS nor plain sugar that may make its taste different I guess. Sweetning is done with organic agave nectar.

Thanks for replying. The concern about cholesterol is not from dairy fat. It is from oxidized fat, which happens when dairy is powdered (it also happens in homogenization process). You can learn more about this by reading what Nina Plank has to say in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ or at her sitewww.ninaplanck.com, on the Cholesterol Myths page at http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm and at www.westonaprice.org.
