How to Use the ProSource® NoCarb Liquid Protein Supplement

The flavorless version of this liquid protein is great in coffee, smoothies and soups and can even be mixed in with pancake mix before the cakes hit the griddle. As the formula contains 15 grams of protein and 60 calories per fluid ounce, only a small amount is needed for each meal. In addition, this product provides 100% of the amino acids the adult human body needs.

ProSource® NoCarb Liquid Protein can be used for many purposes, including dietary management and muscle maintenance or development. This product can also often be used when dietary restrictions are necessary due to surgery or a liquid diet requirement. Other uses include assisted wound and pressure ulcer healing and malnutrition maintenance for dialysis patients.

If a user needs a supplement drink high in calories for nutritional deficiencies, they may instead be interested in the Med Pass 2.0 High-Calorie High Protein Oral Supplement instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ProSource vegan?
No, this product is not vegan. It contains whey protein, which is derived from milk.

Can ProSource cause diarrhea?
High liquid protein intake can cause diarrhea. However, this product is low in glycerin and has the lowest osmolality of any liquid protein on the market. This means that unlike most protein drinks, this product does not pull large amounts of water into the digestive system, which is a major contributing factor to liquid protein-caused diarrhea.

Is this product free of artificial coloring?
The neutral-flavored product contains no artificial coloring. The berry punch and orange cream-flavored supplements contain artificial coloring.

Is this product appropriate for pediatric patients?
No, this product is not appropriate for pediatric patients.
