Question 1

Why is Whey+ more expensive than other whey protein supplements?

Accepted Answer

Whey+ is more expensive than other whey protein supplements because producing a high-quality whey protein powder isn’t cheap, and if you’re paying less than $12-to-15 per pound as a consumer, you’re probably buying junk.

Whey+ comes from small dairy farms in Ireland, which are known for their exceptionally high-quality milk from hormone- and antibiotic-free cows. Whey+ contains no artificial food dyes, junk additives, fillers, soy, gluten, GMOs, MSG, or hormones, and it's 100% naturally sweetened and flavored.

Question 2

How much whey protein can I eat per day?

Accepted Answer

There's no hard and fast rule about how much whey protein you can or should eat per day. Whey protein powder can be used anytime to help you meet your protein needs, but the ideal ratio between whole food and supplemental protein is still an area of scientific ambiguity.

Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests that getting at least 50% of your daily protein from whole food sources is a good rule of thumb.

Question 3

Does eating whey protein after a workout help you build muscle faster?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's true that eating whey protein after a workout can help you build muscle faster. It’s a good idea to eat 30-to-40 grams of protein within an hour or two of finishing a workout, and whey protein is a perfectly viable, convenient, and tasty option. Studies show that protein eaten after a workout causes more muscle protein synthesis than when eaten otherwise.

Question 4

If Whey+ is too sweet/strong tasting or isn't sweet enough, what should you do?

Accepted Answer

If Whey+ is too sweet/strong for you, increase the amount of water you're using until you find an amount that works for you. (Most people like 8 to 10 ounces.)

If Whey+ isn't sweet enough for you, we recommend you mix it with something other than water that is mildly sweet, like almond or rice milk. You'll find it makes it much sweeter.

Question 5

What does the Prop65 warning on the label mean?

Accepted Answer

The Prop65 warning on the label means the product contains one of 900 chemicals. The product is still safe to use and has the label because California's Proposition 65 goes well beyond the safe levels set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and requires the label by law (even when the chemical is found in trace amounts). You should not be concerned about it and don't need to be worried--Whey+ is completely safe. Just because a product bears the Prop 65 label doesn’t mean it’s dangerous (for instance, just two servings of tuna puts you well over the Prop65 limit for lead).[1]
