Frequently Asked Questions
While it can be consumed at any time that’s convenient for you, these are some specific timings that may be helpful: (i) between meals, either as a snack or around your workout (ii) with breakfast, in case you’re looking to reduce hunger cravings, which high-protein breakfasts, as suggested by some small studies, can help with [5]
There’s no harm in using two protein supplements simultaneously, but could quickly increase your protein intake through just supplementation, and exceeding your daily protein requirement may lead to an excessive calorie intake. Instead, it’s best to also get protein from your meals, since protein-rich foods have several other nutrients that keep us healthy. [6]
No, it’s the lactose in whey that generally leads to the bloated feeling, since it’s hard to digest for (a surprising number of) people. Nutrova Whey Protein Isolate is highly purified and has negligible lactose.
Added sugars (and fillers like maltodextrin) create a spike in our blood sugar, which can lead to health problems. Artificial sweeteners might adversely affect the good bacteria in our gut and also increase sugar cravings. If you’d like it to taste sweeter, try it as a delicious smoothie by blending it with a few ingredients like fruits and yogurt.
