How should I store my protein shakes? For best quality, store your protein shakes in a cool location. Excessive heat and leaving the bottle open can affect the quality of the product.
What is the amino acid profile in NUTRILITE Protein Shakes? The NUTRILITE Protein Shakes are considered a complete source of protein, and they deliver all of the amino acids found in milk products. The actual amount of each amino acid varies, so we cannot provide a detailed amino acid profile.
Are the milk ingredients in the protein blend free of bovine growth hormone? We cannot certify that the milk ingredients in the protein blend are free of bovine growth hormone.
Why does the new formula have more sugar and carbs than before? In an effort to remove artificial sweeteners, but also maintain great taste, we opted to supplement the Stevia (rebaudiosine A) with a small amount of fructose. There are now 6 g of sugar per bottle. The total carb count is higher because of the 22 g of sugar alcohols (erythritol) that are used to balance out the slight licorice taste that comes naturally from Stevia extract. While higher in carbs and sugar than the past formula, it is now naturally sweetened and the net carb count is still 7 carbs.
