Isopure Water 40g Protein

I have been having a hard time getting enough protein. This stuff is pretty tasty. Isopure protein water. It'll beat a protien shake in the middle of a hot summer day. I just found them in GNC. Has anyone else tried them. I had blue rasberry today. On a hot day it cool and refreshing. Just thought I'd share this info.

I am in liquid phase, but had heard of these drinks through this board, I love grape frost. Definitely good but pricey. So worth it though.

Your really new. How are you feeling? Have you tried egg drop soup? Yummy stuff. I'll try the grape it sounds good.

My doctor requires that his patients drink one of the Isopure Protein drinks a day for the first week or so after surgery... I've gotta go buy some.. I'm glad to hear that you guys like them!

can you do me a favor and look at the label and tell me how many calories, carbs, and what sort of protein it is?

Hey Funny, It took me a while but I finally found the nutritional info on the Isopure Zero Carb drinks. They are made by Nature's Best and if you look online you can get a case of 12 for about $37. Having 40 grams of protein in each drink means you'd want to space out one bottle over a day. Your body won't absorb more than, I think it was 23 grams of protein at a time. I'll check on that to be sure.

"Isopure has no sugar, no carbs, no preservatives, no fat and is lactose free. Contains 40 grams of the purest protein known to science in a 20 oz. bottle. Isopure has a taste that is easily accepted. Fresh, not too sweet, invigorating and pure.

Isopure may well prevent the loss of lean tissue. It may replace egg whites and soft cheese, skim milk and low fat frozen yogurt, even red meat, as a primary source of protein."

Here's one that has the drinks for $36.99. Haven't checked the shipping costs yet. You can also call your local health and vitamin stores, like GNC or Bodybuilding.com and see if they have it in stock.

Thanks ladies!

Ok, I've been reading more on this and here's what I've found so far. This is from a site selling nutrition supplements and this article was focused on RnY patients so I haven't copied it all. If you are interested in reading the article in its entirety, the addy is: http://www.vitalady.com/why_protein.htm

Protein is initially broken down in the upper small intestine, just outside the lower stomach, using an enzyme manufactured there called trypsin. Once broken down, protein is best absorbed in that first 12 to 18 inches out of the stomach.

Protein is best absorbed in amounts of no more than 30g at one time. Professional athletes can do a little better, but for weight loss surgery patients, 30g would be a good try. More protein won’t hurt, but is just wasted. Unless you are very distal, two drinks of 30g each is an excellent start toward a healthy protein intake.

FAB-U-LOUS! Ok, gonna order a few cases of this stuff. I really need a good protein drink that is more like water. The protein shakes lately have been making me feel sick. I think it is too much substance in one drink. Thank you dahlink for the info.

Don't buy online if your from Houston. AT the GNC in Memorial City Mall they are on sale usually for 2.50 a bottle. I usually finish a bottle in 36 hours and spread the protein out if I'm not too low on protein. If am am running too low over a 24 hour period, I just finish a bottle in a 24 hour period.
