Between meals and before bed, when nutritional support won't be available for a while, casein protein can help provide longer lasting amino acid support. Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take longer for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique slow-digesting qualities, caseins are described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

No. None of those things. Jordan and Steve at SCD Lifestyle recommend this product, and the diet does not allow those ingredients, so you're safe. (And it works really well, too.)

It just has stevia and inulin (dietary fiber). There is nothing really wrong with that. This is actually the purest I've seen. Most other companies have either dextrose or maltodextrin which are both refined sugars

No. None. They've got a photo of the contents on the page, I think. It hasn't interfered with sleep. I in no way feel jittery. It is not a stimulant. I just feel a little happier and extremely less hungry.

Same as Charlise I have eaten these bars on all phases. The key is how your system reacts to the sugar alcohols. Some people have trouble with them from both digestion and blood sugar and if you do then the actual carbs might be too high for you. Go ahead and try some and weigh yourself daily to see if they're having a bad effect

No, they are not sugar free. Sometimes eating sugar free products is not good for you. I am diabetic so I am careful on how many I eat. My doctor told me that sugar free is not good and just eat the real sugar products but be careful.

This product contains caffeine. Not a substitute for sleep. This product is as safe as coffee or energy drinks. Not recommended for children, pregnant women or people sensitive to caffeine.

Its high in Vitamin B- the vitamin associated with energy, this could be true. However, I have eaten on popcorn at night for a while and never had this problem. Add it to your morning smoothie and see if that helps.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. Generally speaking blood checks are done before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, and before bed. These times are chosen to titrate insulin doses and modify diet accordingly. There are obviously other routines, but you need to check with a provider to find what is best for you. Blood sugar can also be checked if a person is feeling symptoms of low or high blood sugar. Blood sugar checks would not be abnormal if you are processing glucose properly (not diabetic). This would not be an indicator of health or improvement in health. (I am a nurse, but not a diabetic.) I am not sure what you are trying to achieve.

I no longer have the packaging so can't answer that question. I do know the sugars are sugar alcohols. There are some who think these are safe and others who think they are as dangerous as refined sugar, especially for diabetics.

These use Maltitol - which is apparently pretty much as bad a sugar (GI and carbs), but lets you use a a sugar free claim in your marketing. So, why is everybody so excited about this product? http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm

I don't think there is any sugar added. It's not sweet at all and those are just naturally occurring sugars. On a side note I found this powder to be very gritty and smokey. Not smooth vanilla bean.

No, there's no sugar added. It uses xylitol, a non-caloric sugar alcohol, as a sweetener.

About as safe as HFCS,sugar,grease,ramen,etc. Its unhealthy but its not mercury or something. You should eat these as much as you eat cake or any food high in sugar,grease,sodium,etc.You can use half the packet and add some mixed vegetables to this. Nongshim or ramen won't kill you even if you eat it everyday. But if you eat high sodium foods for years then it will catch up with you.

I just wanted to point out that the only reason I saw your question is because I was back to order more! I know there's lots of bogus reviews, but I really use it! Also I eat very clean. No more than 20 grams of sugar per day and under about 100 grams of carbs a day! Tough but possible!
