Question:
Does anyone use Nature's plus Spiru-tein?

It has beneficial enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids, all vitamins, 14grams of protein w/o milk 22 with skim, 7 grams of sugar w/o milk 18 grams with skim,10 grams of carbs w/o milk 22 grams with milk, and it has the beneficial spirulina which has a lot of benefits. I know the carbs and sugar are a little high, but the other things found in it are so beneficial and I my body handles this product really well. Will the sugar and carbs really hurt me or slow down weight loss if I really watch it with my food in-take and exercise?    — Patra R. (posted on June 27, 2003)

I have used that brand, yes. I also have not had my surgery yet. The nutrients are indeed beneficial, but in order to make sure you aren't putting in too many sugars or carbs, you might supplement that with a deviled egg or something.. Also, to be very certain, I would check with your nutritionist. Blessings to you.

I have used that product pre op. I believe that it is soy pritein which is not really the best choice for us because it is not the most absorbable kind of protein. I would look for something with whey protein instead.
