Has anyone tried these new "New Whey" protein shots?  They come in a test tube that are best when cold.  When I went to get my Nectar today the woman showed them to me - rather interesting.  I bought one to try -fruit punch...look at the stats and let me know what you think or if you've ever tried them... 176 Cal 2 g Carb 42 g Protein zero sugars They are kind of expensive though...2.99  each...I might just have to stick with the powder!!  I'm thinking that if I take this though, I shouldn't have the powder too - seems like to many calories when I am trying to reset.... I'll let you know how it tastes when I try it...

For appetite control, you want the higher quality whey powders (in water, not milk or sugar). Whey is the magic ingredient. While these have SOME whey, that is not the main component. I think these are fine for "an extra" or to keep in the car, but not as the mainstay

Hijaked- Hi Michelle,  I went to your website this weekend, was attempting to order some samples of different protiens to try, but could not get it to go thru I think it is because of a firewall on my computer. Any suggestions on how to get around this. Also I was looking at ALLLL the vitamins you have on your site and am a  little concerned that I may not be taking enough I take OPTISOURCE 4 a day, and B12 shots Weekly.  That is it nothing else.

Call us? (866-vitalady)

Well, *I* would not take them. Have a sample bottle here that I don't know what to do with! Usually if I get samples, I just eat 'em. LOL Don't want anything to do with these.

B12 weekly is really good, but NO multi covers the larger doses we need of certain things. Taking 8 or 12 won't fix it, cuz then you'll get too much of what we DO absorb, not enough of what we don't.

I'll send you something privately.

Hi Michelle, Can I ask you to foward me the information as to what we are to be taking vitamin and mineral wise on a daily basis? I'm afraid I did not get all the in's and out's of nutruition. I was basically told about B-12, and Calcium. Thank you much! Marie

Hmmmm...ok...I looked at the ingredients and it lists collegenic protein isolate, whey protein isolate and casein protein isolate in descending order.  I understand now that you are saying it's best to stick with 100% whey protein, right?  Why is that?  Does it keep us filled up longer or easier to digest?  Thanks for the input - I will make sure to just stick to my powders!!

Yes, we tried to get more specifics on %'s, and couldn't so that tells me that the whey is minimal. The presentation is like other collagens. Collagen is not a complete protein in itself. They whey may compete it, as far as meeting your basic protein needs.

To use it for appetite, volume or satisfaction, prolly wouldn't do the job. Later, it doesn't fill (unless you're stuffing stuff into it), but does satisfy, if you can see the difference there?

The #1 most bioavailable protein is always whey. Does not have to be ISOLATE, can be blends (whi*****ludes isolate).

My personal view on the new whey bullets is.....they are nasty...something like sweeten  sludge/slime...but if ur into that that this is ur "whey"  of choice.

 

good luck

The 42 gram bullets are NASTY. However, if you're going to purchase any, might I suggest that you get the ones that only have 20-22 grams of protein. They are still sweet, but you can get it down w/o feeling like it's comming right back up again. (sorry for being so graphic). I don't want anyone to spend money on something that you will not enjoy. I have approx 1/2 case in my frige that is staring me in the face .  I don't want to drink any "sweet slime" as someone had described it as anytime soon. Marie:)
