Is this product gluten-free?
While the ingredients are generally gluten-free, always check the specific label on your packaging for the most current allergen information.
How many servings are in the 780g tub?
A 780g tub typically provides approximately 22-25 servings depending on the precise scoop weight and serving density.
Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping during mixing
Add water to the shaker first, then the powder, and ensure you use a shaker ball or high-speed blender.
Product tastes too sweet or too strong
Increase the amount of water or liquid mixed with the powder to dilute the flavor profile.
Difficulty digesting the supplement
Reduce the serving size to a half-scoop to see if tolerance improves, or consume with food rather than on an empty stomach.
