This product doesn't contain Protease so how effective it is to break down proteins?

Protease digests proteins, however the Papain and Bromelain in this blend are fully sufficient for this purpose and do not produce the sensitivity that some people have to Protease. Protease sensitivity can result in digestive issues like diarrhea, etc., so we avoided using it. Thanks for asking.

It is a little known fact that digestive enzymes that include Protease will eat the good bacteria in Probiotics that you are buying!! So this company uses 2 other ingredients in their supplement to help break down protein but it is not the specific enzyme Protease that will feed on your expensive probiotic pills - fermented foods etc..... also people that suffer from heartburn and are trying to naturally relieve it through better gut health should know that protease irratate a comprimised stomach lining and can inhibit the healing process needed to recover from gerd and heartburn. I have not found another digestive enzyme that does not have Protease..that is why I recommend it!!

Yes, it is clean/pure. I absolutely LOVED this whey protein. I don't suggest mixing it in water only. I couldn't stomach that. But it works great in pretty much everything else. It is as pure as pure gets :)

It's not really a source of protein. It has 310mg per serving, Which is 1/2 tsp

I think it would work well. It has fewer calories than other brands I've used. If you're lifting have a shake right before bed and add one scoop to a breakfast smoothie for a protein bump. Studies show higher protein intake leads to weight loss because it keeps you full longer and it's crucial for healing.

The product dissolves very well in cold water. I made a smoothies with strawberries and banana and both taste very good with this protein, you may not even want to add any sugar at all. I did not try to dissolve it in coffee, but I am sure if you first add water to the protein powder, mix and then add coffee, it will dissolve well.

One of the enzymes contained in this product, Bromelain, is isolated from parts of the pineapple plant. Even though using such an isolation process virtually eliminates the chance of any allergic reaction, we certainly wouldn't ask you to risk it. I'd look for a product that does not contain Bromelain. Thanks for asking.

It appears to be very pure. Very difficult to use. It will eat your meat. It is a digestive enzyme. Save it for the cheap cuts and don't leave it on more than a couple hours.

just dump it in a container or an empty protein powder container from a different company

Go to the Seeking Health website, the makers of Optimal Protein, and contact them. I have asked questions regularly there and they are very responsive. As this product was designed by physicians, I would think they might also offer good insight.

There's MSG but not enough to have a real effect. Probably not even a gram. I having heard anything about chemicals or degraded amino acids. ON is really the only brand I trust.

There is a non-dairy version-so I'd assume the one without is that one. If you want the whey protein, go with the regular cleanse (I've always used the non-dairy one and loved it!) Good luck!

I tried boiling it in some water to test, and it seemed to be gritty still, but that was only for a couple minutes. It is most likely best to not heat too much and alter the proteins.

We have listed the nutritional facts in the images that you can review here on Amazon. We are nothing like a protein powder as one customer stated, we have two patents on our product and our amino acids are free to digest easily, no other product has this. We are 10 times better than protein powders. You can read the full article on our blog.factor4health.com if you want.

Never tried it, but I assume so, it's got such a light flavor that it wouldn't turn a shake into nasty mush and has a complete protein profile so it wouldn't throw that off if it is a concern.

It is only 2g protein per serving, but this veggie juice powder is not a "protein powder". This product is packed with probiotics, enzymes, antioxidants. I add 1 scoop of this great powdered greens to my protein smoothie.

I haven't added this to anything hot because of the risk of protein degradation. I use it in smoothies and it's great. I've never had any trouble with clumping but I always use a blender. I don't care for the whey-taste of most protein powders which is why I like this Nectar product. My daughter has a J-Tube and blends it with her "feed" for added protein.

No it doesn't. The protein comes from quinoa, amaranth, peas and artichoke.
