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

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.

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 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.

Here is a link from their webpage that has the contents of the system. I use the berry splash powder. If you mix it in a smoothie or fruit juice it tastes just fine. Remember to mix it well to dissolve the powder. http://www.endfatigue.com/store/products/supplements/berry-splash/ This website link also has information about allergies, so you should be able to tell right away. It says it contains no yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, artificial colors or flavorings. There is whey protein, but the amount of it is so small, people with milk allergies are usually not bothered (600 mg of lactose and 900 mg of casein per serving). However, if you have an allergy to milk that cannot tolerate even that small an amount, it says not to use it. To compare, it says an 8 oz glass of milk has about 10,000-16,000 mg. That means a glass of milk has 10-16 times more than one serving of this. Anyway, check out this link, and if you can't open it, Google www.endfatigue.com and you should be able to find the store link, then go to products, then supplements. The info is all there. Good luck.

I put about 10 drops in a large container, stirred it very well and left it to sit for a day or so, and didn't have any problems (and I'm normally very sensitive to lactose). It did not change the consistency of the yogurt, either.

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.

No. I got sick by drinking Anchor Milk. Vomiting, loose motion and bloated tummy for a while. Still I have lingering symptoms.I stopped drinking this milk product.

My bottle says best by 09/15. It's a sticker though, not printed on the bottle like other medications. So that thought definitely crossed my mind too. I couldn't take it for too long though since my stomach didn't feel good after.

Not really. It depends on what else you're eating and how physically active you are. If you are eating a lot of foods that are high in cholesterol, then you need to be concerned. If you are consuming massive amounts of whey protein on a daily basis and not being physically active, there is cause for concern. I am not a doctor and I don't know your personal health situation. For me, after a year of using organic whey protein, my bad cholesterol has gone done and my good cholesterol is up. I also do hard physical work every day and watch my diet carefully. My son had to have his bodyfat checked for wrestling, so I had mine taken for the fun of it, and it was 10%. Hope this helps you.

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!!

No, it's not lactose free. Most weight gainers won't be. If you are lactose intolerant I would suggest Muscle Milk. Despite its name is contains no milk.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne

Yes it does. I tried lots of iron suppl. But this is the easiest on my stomach. I am lactose intolerant but it does not upset me. Good luck.

No whey. I use it because it is lactose free. Excellent product. Great source of protein. Have it with Almond milk, p-butter and a banana every morning.

Hmmmm, not sure, but I am lactose intolerant and this didn't bother my stomach at all, in fact it really helped me!

It absolutely DOES NOT have the creatine in it like the regular Body Fortress Whey Protein has. This fact is why I do not buy the straight "Whey Protein", and instead purchase the Whey Isolate Protein. The creatine in the other makes me feel jittery.
