⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
As a concentrated dairy product, it may cause digestive discomfort (bloating, gas) in individuals with lactose sensitivity or dairy allergies. To mitigate, start with a small portion, choose a lactose-free version, or pair it with digestive enzymes. Its dry, powdery texture can also be unpalatable if not mixed thoroughly.

FAQ
Is this the same as regular whey protein?
This is a specific, high-protein formulation from Abbott's EAS line, designed for athletes. It shares the core whey protein base but is optimized for a very high protein-to-calorie ratio.
Can I use this for baking?
Yes, it can be incorporated into high-protein baked goods like muffins or pancakes. Be aware it may alter the texture, making it denser, and could brown faster due to its protein content.
Why is the protein content so high per 100g?
As a dry powder, most of the weight is protein and minimal carbs/fat. When reconstituted with water or milk, the protein per serving (by volume) is lower but still very significant.
