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 calories per serving is this
Answer:	yes of course that is the best time since there is not sunscreen in it.
Question:	I received the product 2 days a go but It doesn’t show the expiration date, how can I know that the product is in good date
Answer:	This product is 1.7 fluid ounces.
Question:	Can someone please tell me what a "scoop" is and exactly measures? i have seen huge scoops and small scoops
Answer:	Yes I use it under my eyes every day. It helps with darkness as well as fine lines on the sides of my eyes toward the temple. Always remember when under the eyes, rub from the inside by your nose and go out. Don't rub in downward motion, just acrossed and up. Same on the sides of your eyes. Use circular up and out strokes. Hope that makes sense 😊
Question:	Does this help gain weigh
Answer:	No, this product does not contain SPF.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a scoop
Answer:	Buy a teaspoon measuring spoon. Use it as your scoop.
Question:	Why Creatine
Answer:	In addition to the great muscle-building benefits, it also seems to be good for the brain. Dave Asprey turned me on to this in his book "Head Strong", and here's the citation he gave:Caroline Rae et al., “Oral Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation Improves Brain Performance: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Cross-over Trial.,” Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 270, no. 1529 (October 22, 2003): 2147– 50, doi: 10.1098/ rspb. 2003.2492.I'm just starting a 20g/day "loading phase", looking forward to seeing how this works for me. ("Loading phase" should only go on for one week.)Dave also sez: Check with your doctor first if you've got kidney issues.
Question:	Any idea what the source of this creatine is? I'm looking for a vegetarian source, and my understanding is most all creatine is synthetic these days
Answer:	Optimum Nutrition creatine monohydrate is made with Creapure, a synthetic creatine. From Creapure's website: " Since the 1990s the chemical synthesis of creatine has become more efficient and now predominates for industrial large-scale production. AlzChem developed a process for the synthetic production of creatine that guarantees the best quality and greatest purity. This creatine is sold under the brand name Creapure®. Because Creapure® (ultrapure creatine monohydrate) is made by synthesizing non-animal-sourced raw materials through chemical reactions, Creapure® is guaranteed not to contain substances that can transmit BSE. It is suitable for vegetarians."
Question:	What products do you recommend to use before workout, during (if any) and after for recovery; I am trying to gain muscle mass.. Thank you for the help
Answer:	If you trying to gain muscle mass you got to eat more clean food. Creatine is for strength and recovery. Load up on it like it says in the directions. Then after the loading phase take it before and right after working out.
