How much protein does it provide per serving?
The product contains approximately 20% total protein; a significant portion of this comes from milk protein (≈12%). The exact amount per serving is listed in the nutrition facts panel on the packaging.

Does it contain added sugars?
According to the label, it contains no added sugars; maltitol is used as the polyol. Maltitol provides energy and may affect blood glucose levels less than simple sugars, but it is not entirely neutral.

Is it suitable for celiacs or gluten-free diets?
No. It contains gluten and is not considered a gluten-free food.

Is it suitable for vegans or people with lactose intolerance?
No. Contains milk protein and skimmed milk powder; not suitable for vegans or those requiring a lactose-free diet.

Can a person with diabetes consume it?
The absence of added sugars does not eliminate the need for caution. Maltitol has less of an impact on blood glucose than sucrose, but it can still raise it; therefore, it is recommended to evaluate it within an individual glycemic control plan and consult with a healthcare professional.

Does it produce side effects?
Excessive consumption can produce laxative effects (flatulence, diarrhea) due to the polyols. Furthermore, it presents a risk of allergic reactions in people sensitive to milk, soy, and nuts.

Can it be used after exercise?
Yes. As a source of protein, it can be integrated into the post-exercise recovery phase if combined with a suitable source of carbohydrates to replenish glycogen.

Does it have clinical studies that support its effectiveness?
There are no published clinical studies specifically on this product; recommendations are based on general evidence on dietary protein and muscle recovery.

Typical use: spread on wholemeal bread or toast, mix with yogurt or incorporate into smoothies and homemade baking recipes to increase protein intake.
Suggested serving: 15–30 g per serving, varying according to energy needs and nutritional goals.
Recommended time to take: breakfast, afternoon snack or post-workout.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; check the expiry date and recommendations on the packaging.
