Troubleshooting

Powder not mixing smoothly or clumping

Ensure you are using cold water or milk, as warmer liquids can sometimes cause clumping. Try using a shaker cup with a mixing ball or a blender for better agitation. You can also try adding the liquid first, then the powder, and shaking immediately.

Taste seems off or too weak/strong

Flavor perception can vary. Ensure the product has been stored correctly (cool, dry place) and is within its expiration date. Adjust the amount of liquid used: less liquid for a stronger taste, more for a weaker taste. Ensure proper mixing as unmixed powder can affect flavor.

Experiencing digestive discomfort after consumption

Whey protein can sometimes cause mild discomfort for individuals sensitive to dairy. Start with a smaller serving size to allow your body to adjust. Ensure adequate hydration throughout the day. If discomfort persists, consult with a healthcare professional, as you might have a sensitivity or allergy.
