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?

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.

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.

I don't know, but what I know is that in combination with Cholestoff my cholesterol went down 130 points in one month. My doctor thought he had the wrong chart. Also, I followed the dietician advise of unprocessed food and organic beef and chicken.

No, there is no cholesterol. Ingredients: whey protein isolate, Whey protein concentrate, Xanthum gum

The label says there is LESS THAN 1% of sucralose and the healthy ingredients far outweigh the "junk". My husband is diabetic and had an open heel wound that would not close for six months sending his blood sugars even higher. A nurse friend told me about Premier Protein, the doctor approved the product and after one month the wound finally closed. If you can tolerate sugar, go for Boost or Ensure!

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 .

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. Not really.

I've been using it for over 5 months now. After 2 months I went and had my cholesterol checked and it is the lowest it has ever been in almost 10 years. The only thing I have changed was adding pine bark extract to my diet.

I was using 2 tblsp a day spread out. One in the morning with my oatmeal and one with my protein shake. Remember you need fat in your diet and 1.5g of fat is nothing. This cacao is all natural and unsweetened it's a good fat.

Hi! When I was buying this product i was checking all the ingredients to make sure i got what I really want. And as their web site says "Platinum Hydrowhey is ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress." I hope my answer will help you! Vitaliy H.

It depends on what your standards of safety are. The package says no trans-fats, no cholesterol, no added MSG, but there is a small amount of gluten. Each package says it makes 2 servings at 260 calories/serving, but I eat one whole package as a meal (with added tofu, shrimp, mushrooms, vegetables, etc.). The sodium level is very high, however, at 1010 mg/serving, so if I eat the whole thing, I'm getting my whole day's worth of sodium! That is probably the worst effect of eating instant noodles. So, if you must limit your sodium intake, don't eat these. I limit myself to once every couple of weeks. But they are delicious and remind me of Korea, so I don't want to give them up!

Hi Mike, According to naturalnews. com, "VEGA joins Natural News heavy metals limits for protein products; company's blends already test among cleanest in industry."And, it is a very legitimate question, one more people have started to ask. I have included a link to the article, but sometimes Amazon deletes it. If that happens, go to the naturalnews website and search Vega One. The article is listed towards the bottom of the page. Be Well.Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/044136_vega_protein_heavy_metals_limits_natural_products.html#ixzz3E3begA8X
