User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered the 2 pound container. I opened it and don't see a scoop and the powder only goes to about halfway up the container. Is this normal
Answer:	After you open it and take out the scoop, close the container an shake it up and down for about 10 seconds, it will fluff back up to about 3/4 full.
Question:	Does this product work well for losing weight
Answer:	If you lift weights and are simultaneously cutting weight and trying not to lose too much muscle along with the fat, then absolutely yes. I'd even say substituting out other calories for a couple scoops of this a day is almost mandatory on a weight cut for lifters trying to maintain strength. You can use this to substantially raise the % of your calories you're getting from protein so that you eat enough protein while eating fewer total calories. One scoop of this stuff is 120 calories and 24 grams of protein. That's 96 calories from protein our of 120 total, a massive 80%.
Question:	If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX
Answer:	2lbs = 29 servings. Roughly, 5 days/week with a 4 week month is about 20 servings (excluding weekends). That leaves you with roughly 9 servings for the month left. I work out everyday but only take a shake after a workout. 2 lbs lasts me about a month. 5 lbs = 75 servings. For me, a 5 lb tub would easily be 2 months maybe 2.5. If you plan on staying with ON, it's more cost-effective to purchase the 5 lb tub depending on the vendor. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal
Answer:	I'm currently sitting here with a second surgery on my shoulder. First time was labrum tear and second was latarjet. I can say with 100% confidence drinking this will not help heal your rotator cuff. You posted this in 2013 and it is 3 years later, if you haven't seen a specialist and it hasn't given you problems that you are one lucky SOB. If it's still giving you problems, see a specialist or do PT. You probably need surgery depending on the tear. You don't want to live with that un-repaired the rest of your life haha.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many CFU probiotics does this have
Answer:	As far as I know, none. This is just whey protein concentrate. I chose it because it has nothing else added, especially no sugars or artificial sweeteners. I wanted to choose what I wanted in my protein shake. If you go over the label (magnified) you could check it carefully. Or you you could check it through the company under Naked Whey.
Question:	Is there any lecithin in this item
Answer:	The only ingredient in this product is whey protein concentrate made from milk.
Question:	My vanilla powder has brown looking spots in it,what are these? Bugs? Just opened sealed container..don't know if its normal or not
Answer:	I got unflavored and there were no spots at all
Question:	I didn't receive a scoop. I poured the entire container out to make sure. Is there supposed to be a scoop
Answer:	I did not receive a Scoop in mine so it would seem that no scoop is provided.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does the scoop only give you around 22g and not 31g as the label states
Answer:	In the 'Directions' section of the label, one serving is described as a rounded scoop. That's the same as a heaping scoop. Flattening out the powder on the scoop provides less.
Question:	What is the difference between vainilla and naturally flavored vainilla? im looking for a mild flavor so i can add a fruit or a orange seltzer
Answer:	Although I don't know what's the exact ingredient difference, I can definitely say the following: vanilla tastes good, but the naturally flavored vanilla tasted horrible to me (especially a weird after taste). I purchased the naturally flavored vanilla, but had to return it because of this.
Question:	There are so many different flavors. What are your favorites and why
Answer:	Vanilla ice cream is disgusting - too sweet! Double rich chocolate is my absolute favorite. Not too sweet and goes well with everything.
Question:	Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same
Answer:	Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results.

Question:	What does the "unflavored" flavor taste like
Answer:	As it says. 1 scoop per 8 oz. I use for smoothies. I add 1/2 cup mixed berries, and 1 scoop super beet acai flavored powder. If I don't use water I use a cup of yogurt. You can use this in recipes too. Very good vanilla flavoring.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has this been heavy metal tested
Answer:	Yes, we use a third party lab to test for heavy metals.
Question:	How can this product be raw if the manufacturer states it is pasteurized? I'm confused is it raw or pasteurized
Answer:	The Whey Protein that is in this product is in its raw form. We do not add any flavors, sweeteners or fillers. It is not processed.
Question:	Were the cows treated with antibiotics
Answer:	NO, the product is free of all growth hormones and antibiotics.
Question:	Why is this not labeled "organic
Answer:	Getting "organic" certification is very expensive and time consuming. These small family farmers would probably be forced to double their prices. If I had a choice between "organic" and "grass fed" I would always choose 100% grass fed and hope the grass isn't sprayed with anything harmful to the animals and me!

User questions & answers

Question:	What could I mix with this in a blender to make it a good meal replacement shake? Looking to replace b.fast and lunch with shakes
Answer:	To the seller: Your description says there’s is no BGH/BST in the non-organic also. So, my question is, is the description inaccurate? “Raw Grass Fed Whey: • ONLY 1 INGREDIENT: 100% Pure Grass Fed whey • NON-GMO, A2 Milk, Soy Free, rBGH/rBST Hormone Free, Gluten Free, Grass Fed • Contains no artificial sweeteners or flavors • Processed WITHOUT acid or bleach • Sourced from Grass Fed Free Range Cows • Sourced 100% from US Sustainable Small Farms • Heavy Metal F”
Question:	Since most now sports products are low quality and made in china (creatine for example) - is this also made in china

This method has been proven to keep the non-denatured integrity of the whey.* The raw milk is heated to 71.7°C (161°F) for 15 seconds."
Question:	It says microfiltered, but is the whey filtered under low temperature
Answer:	Thank you for your question! No, our cows are not treated with antibiotics or hormones. Sincerely, Raw Organic Whey Happy Healthy Cows
Question:	What is the creation process? It says isolate, microfiltered, but which technique
Answer:	The only difference is that Raw Organic Whey is certified usda organic.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sugarfree version contain aspartame/sucralose/splenda, or any other sweetener? TIA
Answer:	I put one scoop of protein in about 1 and 1/2 cups of milk(I drink Lactaid) then I put one or 2 Tbsp of a cocoa mix like Ghiradelli- mix on high in my Vitamix blender and it makes a wonderful protein shake. Good amount of protein and tastes good!! I forgot to say I also add a frozen banana as well and you can buy powdered peanut butter and add that too!
Question:	What are the ingredients
Answer:	This comes directly from NOW foods website: https://www.nowfoods.com/now/nowledge/sourcing-high-quality-ingredients-around-world Read for yourself...you can bet your bottom that if the cheapest source of a particular ingredient comes from China, that's where they're getting it! "Manufactured in the USA" usually just means mixed or packaged here, and it's legal to label as such.
Question:	Does this product contain maltodextrin
Answer:	Yes. Now is a very reputable maker of many products. I have bought from them for about.....15 years or so. This particular protein has no flavor, but that doesn't mean it tastes bad. It just tastes, well, bland. I just put two scoops with cold filtered water, shake it in my bottle and down it. If u want flavor, I just add some of my kids strawberry Quick. I like no carb protein and this is it. Very high quality and not all the fancy price and advertising.
Question:	can this be mixed with fruit as a smoothie
Answer:	Hi Ron! We contacted the Product Info Dept. at NOW, and this is the answer they provided: Whey protein isolate is manufactured from sweet dairy whey using cold micro-filtration and ultra-filtration membrane technology. The product is then gently spray dried and "lecithinated" into a free-flowing powder that can be easily dispersed in water. This results in an non-denatured whey protein that is highly soluble over a wide pH range and has a very clean, bland flavor.
