Brief Answer:
Not suitable

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for information.

I have seen the products and the details on the same.

No, this may not help people working out in gym expecting either to get in shape or build body.

This product contains not more than 32gms of protein per 100gms of the product which is very less and does not cover up the need.

Whey protein isolates on the other hand contain around 80 to 90 gms of protein per 100gm of the product and are very use ful in body building.

Taking ProtienX is not harmful but not greatly useful either.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Thank you Doctor. But, I am a vegetarian, I won't eat chicken or fish to get that high protein and I stay in hostel. not many options to cook for myself or eat as per my requirements. can't eat everyday out for healthy food coz of budget . now my logic is, buying 1 kg of whey protein costs around 3,000. This one is just 330 per 250 GM's. I understand the content of protein is very less, however something is better than nothing and this is in budget. Atleast I would be having a source of protein. However, my concern is , will this powder make me fat ??? Your response is highly appreciated. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN .

Brief Answer:
Not fat for sure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, in that sense you can take it.

As I said there is no harm in taking this but the relative benefit will be less. There will be benefit no doubt.

Go ahead and take it.

Wish you good health.
