Anti-lactose is called lactase. It sure worked for me when i used it with milk.

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I've used in the past and really liked it. I would put a spoonful (or the provided measuring cup) into a glass of milk and drink it. Now, I did use it in just plain water once or twice but did not like the taste as much as when I put it into milk. If you are lactose intolerant, then maybe you may not like it that way. I suppose you could try it in almond milk or soy milk, though. As far as the other -free things, you'd have to read the ingredients. I don't have any on hand right now. I only use when I'm in training for a long bike ride. I'll get more in a couple of weeks when I start training for a century (100 miles) ride in April. I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that.

I am not sure what the lactose level is. I do know that as a child my daughter was lactose intolerant but she could tolerate whey protein.

Hi, thank you for your question. I have been drinking this Soy protein. I can give you my comments. 1. No for body builder, 2. Yes for LACTOSE-INTOLERANT and 3. No for BULKING PHASE. If you want no. 1 & 3 yes, you may have to find whey protein from Soy or plants. Hope this helps. thanks

hello, good day, in my experience many years of gastric problems, I have taken many kinds of digestive enzymes, papaya, ox bile, amylase, pancreatin, etc. separately and also in compounds supplements. Unfortunately many doctors prescribe pills and do not address our real conditions, this betaine HCL is a great help to me because descomposicon aid in fat, protein and making it much easier my digestion. Do not forget you many enzymes and assume that our body produces naturally in the mouth, stomach, intestine and with this product have extra help to foster their development.

Not sure I understand the question. Does it work fast? I take it 1/2 hr. before I eat at breakfast and dinner. I never had an upset stomach. It's not a miracle "cure" for being overweight. You still have to watch what you eat but it helps curb my appetite so I continue to take it. If you think you can take it and eat a large pizza and a beer then no, it won't work.

Hi! I am in natural healthcare and have used these shakes off and on for several years. This product is very low in calories, fat, and sugar, making it a good option for most diabetics to supplement their diet. It does have some fake sugars, which can affect the nerves, but most things low fat have some if not more. I don't know of a direct correlation to this and prostate cancer. It is loaded with nutrients, which gives the body more "fuel" to run. I use it with almond milk instead of cow's milk because the dairy slows my system. The shake mix has cassein in it (milk protein), but that doesn't bother me. I have read some research looking at the link between dairy and cancer, but that really addresses what you choose to mix the powder with instead of the shake ingredients. As with anything, I would start slow to see how my body responds and wouldn't overdo it. I have had clients use it as supplemental nutrition, as a meal replacement, and as a protein shake while working out. Most of them seemed happy with their results.

Go to Standard Process and bring up the information that you are concerned with. I know for me I had gone to a chiropractor that is also a nutritionist and he recommended this for me since I had my gallbladder out. I wouldn't be without it now as I take one with every meal and no more gas, bloating or upset stomach. It is all natural and works!!

As other reviewers have already posted, this is magnesium oxide, the hardest to digest for some. I've taken it and haven't had any stomach problems, but it can cause nausea for some. Having had Roux-N-Y, must be careful of the stomach. My doctor recommends a protein-bound source such as Magnesium Malate or Glycinate as being the best, but to take at least Magnesium Citrate for higher digestability.

It's a powder that you mix with milk. I suppose you could use a lactose free milk-like product. Since I don't have the problem I've never tried. But the powder itself is lactose free.

I have been using their antibiotic for Lactose Intolerance for years and love it (I dislike Lactaid brand vs. this brand). This product I didn't purchase for myself but it does help someone I know with IBS.

As we get older our digestive tracks don't digest our food very well, this can cause stomach bloat and a lot of gas. Emzymes make our food digest just like we were teens again. All this product is, is emzymes no more no less, just like in your stomach! I can eat any thing again as long as I take this suppliment,without fear of gas! Yeah!!

Most whey proteins do contain some lactose, but usually less than what's in milk. Since you're extremely lactose intolerant, you may try this brand: http://www.amazon.com/Lactose-Free-Whey-Protein-Isolate/dp/B004R0QFXA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Yep. Your body just doesn't process it as quickly as whey, so use it to just get your overall protein intake up. You don't need to drink it right after working out. I sometimes drink one scoop mixed with two cups almond milk before bed if I haven't had enough protein during the day. It mixes a much thicker shake than whey protein.

I believe it will. I am not a doctor. From what I understand if you drink it with a meal it will cause your body to pass a large portion of the sugar that would have been absorbed. From what I read it has about a two hour effect on your stomach. So you would want to rink it just before or after high carb or meals with a high sugar content. I have been drinking it for about two months and I have not had a blood test done since so I can't tell you for sure.

I really can't answer your question but can tell you it's the only probiotic I can take that doesn't cause MORE stomach upset. I've tried at least 4 other kinds but am unsure of their delivery system.

I always took after I ate. From my experience I got major stomach pain and wanted to throw-up when took on empty stomach.Used it for many years and was very helpful. Now I recently switched to a Gaba blend.
