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?

No worries there buddy. It's just like going to the store and buying a bag of chips, it's always half way filled. It's just the way these supplements are made, all of them form pills down to protein supplements. You should be looking at about 31.2oz at about 885g about a net way of 1.95lbs. It's more then enough to last you a month depending on your goals and how many grams of protien you are intaking daily per pound of body weight. And for the price your paying for, you can't beat it :) Your Good, no need to contact them.

You can check any nutritional information at this website: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/about-time/whey-protein-isolate. It is pretty accurate as far as I can tell. Although, when I look at the labels, both the vanilla and the chocolate say 100 calories. It is a minor discrepancy. I read the ingredients and for chocolate they are: Cold processed ultra microfiltered whey isolate, cocoa, natural flavors, xanthan gum, stevia. The vanilla is the same minus the cocoa. Here is my opinion; you aren't going to find many other protein powders that are as clean as this brand. The ingredients are minimal, the stevia is much better than the sugar(substitute?) they use in something like slim-fast and it is predominantly chemical free. The chocolate tastes amazing and the vanilla is just so-so. The trick is to use unsweetened almond milk in it. Do not use water. I really hope this helped!

Hi, I don't have the package with me anymore, since I only bought this once, a while ago, but I don't remember reading anything about oxidized cholesterol, and if they don't mention it then I wouldn't have any idea whether it contains it or not. Perhaps this is a question best forwarded to Organic Valley. I'm sure you can find their contact details online. Good luck!

I cannot give you an educated answer. Only that my nutritionist highly approves of this chocolate and whenever I order it for myself I send an identical order to her.

There is another brand of raw organic cacao that has 2 g of sugar from nature, not added so this is not unique. Look at the per serving size and the contents break down at http://www.bodybutterstore.com/servlet/the-Chocolate-and-Cacao-Powder/Categories and you will see.

It does list cholesterol. Under "amount per serving" is shows 0g. Under "%DV" it shows 0%. Even though there not any in this product, it is nice they addressed the issue on the label.I love this stuff, I am 60 years old and my wife is 57. We went for plaque buildup test (its kind of like an MRI). Hers was 0% and mine was 3%, we have been using this product for a while and I believe it really helps .

Hey Gina, Not quite sure what you are asking, but I will attempt to answer any way. If you are wondering what other whey protein you should take instead of this one, there are some things you should consider. When ever I shop around for new products that i haven't tried or i just want to switch things up, I always look at the Nutrition Facts on the back. I have heard good things about Syntha-6 Isolate by BSN. I however, have never tried it. When searching for something new to take be weary of any 'extra' additives. Some proteins contain a lot of sugar or carbs. Ensure you know what you are buying. If you have any specific question about any products, please feel free to ask.

It tastes good. Try it with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, very delicious. You do know vibrant health has this very same green drink IN a protein powder? The chocolate one is amazing.

It was very good, but rather expensive. After doing some research I decided to go with an organic whey protein that comes out of Canada and sold at Amazon. I buy the chocolate flavored organic no sugar added WHEY FACTOR. The two pound canister is only $24.95.

Sorry, don't know. I have been using it for years, instead of perscriptions for lowering cholesterol, with success.

I'm not the manufacturer but it appears that because the serving size is 2 capsules and recommended dosage is twice a day with 2 capsules that is the way they count it as 60mg. The bottom line for me is it's the only thing that lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides from dramatically high to normal.

YES, and that is very high. I get it at our local supermarket for 2 for $5.00 on sale; however, it's rarely over that anyway - there. I cannot figure out why it's over $3.80/bottle purchasing in quantity from Amazon, yet less in a regular supermarket - their variety, contents, label wrap, et al are identical, and so is the product. My doctor definitely favors this product, and doubled my daily intake to 2 bottles because my protein levels are low (I'm on chemotherapy). This is not worth the high corst. Take a vitamin pill (1/2 twice a day), and mix 1 C non-fat dry milk with 1 C of regular milk (not low fat, now 2%, etc), add your own flavoring and ya'got it, except that amounts to about 100 GM of protein.

Two grams of saturated fat isn't high in my book, you need a little bit of fat in your diet. They don't sacrifice flavor. That's probably why it's "so high" it's not bland or chalky like ON or Muscle Milk.

I wondered the same thing. I buy this dark chocolate at my grocery store and it has 5g of sugar for the same serving size.
