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.

I'm 46 years old , doing weight training , I feel better taking specific ingredients for cartilage and ligaments like this product in particular ,it has the right nutrition values.Alone with exercise is good for recovering , I also take isolated whey protein , multivitamins , glutamine and creatine , also Zinc Magnessium and Calcium combined . When I'm not under the stress of my training program I take 1 or 2 months off from some supplements including glucosamine. Is all about a combination of different things : understanding of your body , exercise , proper nutrition , supplements and time really . Hope I was helpful !

Mine has been open for a month with no ill effects. It's dry so I'm thinking it'll last a long time. If in doubt you could keep it refrigerated. I like the product for my protein shake. I get the PB flavor without all the calories. I also like that there are no added ingredients.

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

you could take it before workout if you are working out in fasting state. During and post workout it helps in muscle recovery and reduces onset of DOMS

yeah it will work fine for you too it's creatine bcaa's l-glutamine no hormones so your see great results in combination with weight training program.

This protein drink was suggested by a nurse to help with my healing. It is working and does give me more energy. As far as weight lifiting I think any protein powder is helpful.

It seems good to me.....I need extra protein in my diet and thought this was a good way to supplement it. I like that it is very easy to mix when I don't use my blender. I just add it to water in my glass and mix with a spoon. I tend to drink it after working out. I've had other protein shakes over the years and this one is low in sugar, easy to mix & has a good creamy taste. (before drinking after mixing, I let it sit for about a minute and it seems to get more creamy) I really like it.

In my supplement traveles and trials, I have found that it's best to narrow what you want by what your goals are. Zma's help me get a deeper sleep while boosting my immune system and speeding up my muscle recovery time. Bcaa's help me stay hydrated and keep my muscles in a better state for being active and growing. High I have not delt with directly but pro hormones as an indirect form.. A 3 month cycle with strict diet and exercise have made a big impact on weight loss and muscle gains. Arginine and lysine I have yet to try. Zma is a cheap night time recovery and while taking in for a long period of time I have yet to get sick and have always been well rested and restored for the next day. Hope this helps! :)

Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M's into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

No, sorry. I've used it while bulking up. I would also like to hear answer to this question.

Increase your protein intake (if you're already not getting enough), keep your sugar/carb intake limited, and eat something every 3-5 hours (small meals/snacks, nothing big). For exercise I primarily do weight training, mostly because I personally hate cardio, and kickboxing/MMA once a week. You don't need to work out for very long; 45 minutes at a time is the general max because your body will start burning muscle instead of fat if you go too long.To be honest, I would skip this product entirely. Maybe you have as bad a reaction as I did, but the caffeine content was a nightmare to deal with; three straight days of no sleep just to lose five pounds? No thanks.Good luck to you!

MsEdna is correct. I alternate mine, I wouldn't recommend drinking 3 of these bad boys a day though, it would defeat the purpose of a break, in my case at least. And it might actually even be counterproductive to your health. I'm no doctor though, just my opinion. If your working out, I strongly recommend using protein after workouts, to help speed muscle recovery.
