| Q. Would protein powders be ok for putting into smoothies? |
(Posted: 29th Nov, 2006) |
A. Absolutely! Yes every whey protein powder is suitable for putting into smoothies, the type of which (how expensive too) depends on your requirements and purpose. For example if you want a super smooth and easy to dgest and mix smoothie, then use a 100% WPI (Whey Protein Isolate) protein powder like Horleys Ice Whey.
If on the other hand, you just want to boost your protein intake moderately or replace a few meals etc, then any protein powder that is high in protein and contains a blend of proteins such as 100% Whey Protein by EAS or the Horleys Awesome Whey product would be very suitable.
It just depends how much you are willing to spend to get the nicest taste!
The very best tasting protein powder by far is the WheyMaxx Whey Gourmet protein, which when mixed with about 150mls of water tastes just like a milkshake - there is nothing else that compares!

| Q. I am lactose intolerant, can I take protein powder? |
(Posted: 14th Dec, 2006) |
A. (from the Musashi website)
Dairy allergy and lactose intolerance are actually two different things. Lactose intolerance is the inability to produce enough of the enzyme lactase to break down the lactose or milk sugar found in dairy products.
This can produce uncomfortable wind, pain and bloating, but it is not life threatening. To put all this in perspective, skim milk powder has 53% lactose, two fractions of milk Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) have about 5% and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) has only about 0.5%.
If you have moderate lactose intolerance then it is likely the WPC will be fine. If your intolerance is more pronounced then go for the WPI. We actually have a pure WPI. |

(Posted: 4th April, 2007) |
| A. Hi there, theres no real best time to take it except to say that its preferable to take it as meal replacement, e.g replacing breakfast or lunch. I wouldnt replace an evening meal with this product personally, as you may be too hungry and find it hard to goto sleep! |

| Q. Hi there, I need a protein powder for recovery after the gym. I do a mixture of cardio and weights, what do you recommend? |
(Posted: 18th April, 2007) |
A. Hi there, you'll find that most of the protein powders like EAS 100% Whey and PVL WheyMaxx are actually very similar nutritionally. Either of these is a really good buy at 2.27kg, and will only cost just only a dollar per serve.
The key is to use these protein powders as recovery drinks as much as anything else, even after cardio sessions. This will help with faster recovery, boost your immune system and obviously build muscle if you have been lifting weights.
Stay away from the 'mass gainer' type products they are loaded with carbs and defeat the purpose of exercising, and may lead to excess fat storage.
I recommend the PVL WheyMaxx product its a great taste, even when mixed with about 100-125mls of water (recommended way to take it). |

| Q. How many times a day should I take Musashi fat metabolising formula and when is the best time? |
(Posted: 24th Sept, 2007) |
A. Hi there, thats a good question! If you are exercising alot and using weights, i.e. 2-3 times per week then you might take this 2 or 3 times per day! However, if you are mainly doing cardio work then once per day would be sensible. Many women have reported that its very useful as a mid afternoon snack to not only kill hunger cravings for fatty or sweet foods, but it will give you alot more sustained energy.
It can be used a meal replacement, for example used at lunch time together with a piece of fruit or a salad to give you your essential proteins.
Even if you are just doing cardio work, I would recommend a serving immediately after training. It will help with your recovery, boost your immnune system and restore your energy levels. |

| Q. Is it Ok to mix proteins shakes the night before for drinking the next day or must you always drink straight after you have mixed it? |
(Posted: 4th Jan, 2008) |
| A. Hi there, theres no evidence that mixing the night before will denature the protein as fasr as I know, but even assuming its refrigerated, it won't be as 'fresh' as mixing it with water on the day. It should only take one minute to mix a shake with water, so I recommend getting up a minute earlier or taking your shaker to the gym with powder already in it, then using the water fountain to fill. Just dont leave the shaker in the car, it will decompose within a few hours in the sun! |

| Q. How long will protein powders remain safe to drink when left in their containers over time? In other words whats their expiry date? |
(Posted: 10th Jan, 2008) |
| A. Hi there, all protein powders have an expiry date on them which is based on 'worse case scenario' storage. In New Zealand especially over winter, they will last alot longer. Also they will last much longer if not opened (longer than their expiry date)... most expiry dates are in excess of a year past the purchase date, i.e. late 2008 or early 2009 at this stage. |

| Q. Can i have the slm protein formula with brakfast? when is the best time to drink it to not put on weight? |
(Posted: 15th Oct, 2008) |
A. Yes you can have the slm protein formula for breakfast. A high protein shake is not going to make you fat, unless you ate kilos of it every day.
It is useful for enhancing lean muscle mass if you have one after your workout. |
