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

we actually bought capsules and filled them. It was pretty time consuming and messy. We also tried it in our protein shakes after the gym, that wasn't too bad either. I'd suggest mixing it in with your favorite beverage.

I think it is comparable to other whey proteins. I take it pretty consistently so I'm not sure what my results would be without using it. I will say that I use this just to supplement the natural proteins I eat in my everyday diet. I usually just take one scoop a day; any more than that your body just flushes it in your urine...or at least that's what I've been told. I have stuck with it because I think it tastes the bests.

I would just do before first and last meal, i've takin it then didnt eat until hours later (forgot i took it) and it didnt upset my stomach or anything. I think just taking it before food is suppose to control your hunger later so I dont think it would matter when you took it.

There are two different Muscle Feast unflavored whey isolates. I've had both the 26g and 24g. I pick up the former if it's in stock and the latter if not. They both taste the same and haven't affected my lactose intolerance.

Have you thought that maybe you are lactose intolerant? The ingredients in this (all lactobacillus basically) are lactose. I am lactose intolerant and took this for the first time today and it really bothered me too! I took it with food and it was horrible, but I took it again on an empty stomach and it was better, maybe you can try that.

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.

The reason I ordered this product is because my stomach does not react well to maltodextrin and other additives found in trademarked products. I have been using this stevia for over a month without any reaction.

I would check with your physician first, but don't see any inherent reason why this should be a problem for under 10. It is a milk product; I am mildly lactose intolerant, but have not had any problem with this product, and I take 1 scoop twice daily. Capsules would probably be easier for a child to swallow than the powder, which is not meant to be dissolved. It is supposed to pass trough the stomach and into the intestines to work, and that is why it works best on an empty stomach with a full glass of water to flush it through.

I am a vegan. Make sure you have a little something in you stomach. Put the contents on some mashed banana or some type of food, if you can't tolerate the taste. Also know, it goes into your system more quickly.I no longer use it.

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.

This is on the recommended list of drinks from my bariatric surgeon. I've lost significant amounts of weight using this as a meal replacement. Five shakes a day, no cheating, will yield excellent results in a short time period. I've had bariatric surgery, so you should check with your doctor before starting a calorie restricted protein diet.

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.

Well, I really don't know. But try to disolve it in natural juices full of fibers, to avoid irritating your stomach. Always take these pills with food. Always! Regards,

Hi, Lewka! After reviewing the label, it doesn't appear to lactose/gluten free. Your best bet would be to stick to a vegan powder like Garden of Life RAW Organic Meal replacement shake. It can be found here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Meal-Powder/dp/B0031JK95S#. I can't vouch for the taste, however, as I've never personally tried it, but it does have a 4 out of 5-star rating from over 3,400 total reviews. With a rating that solid, I'm seriously considering purchasing it myself the next time I run out of the Lean Shake. Hope this helps!

Google the product to find out exactly what ingredients are in it. Lots of vitamins for one. Probably all the weird stuff in it they consider a "growth stimulant". I quit taking it because I didn't like the taste and many times it made me nauseous, especially if I also had milk shortly before or after drinking it.
