Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a hard gainer and have dietary restrictions so this product seemed like an ideal blend for me if not a bit pricey. I have some extra money and though why not? Well it's not so simple as downing it and getting over 1000 calories. I've taken products with pea protein and rice protein before with no issues. The main difference in this product is the insane amounts of Tapioca Maltodextrin included to boost the calorie count. I didn't know this but not all Maltodextrin is equal. Namely you get Maltodextrin which the body can digest and you get the kind which the body cannot digest (digestion resistant maltodextrin or DRM). Additionally, some people may simply have a harder time digesting Maltodextrin. So what does it all translate to? Well the reality is that you may consume this powder but not really get close to the energy that's on the label. When I took the powder I would bloat up like someone opened a C02 cartridge in my stomach. I lost all appetite and would spend the next 4-5 hours burping. On one occasion I used 2 scoops as a breakfast shake so I could walk to a nearby restaurant for a meal, once I got there I found it impossible to eat because of the nausea/bloating. I felt sick for nearly 4 hours. Those are my experiences with this product. It may well be that your body can handle the intense levels of Maltodextrin whereas I can't. It could just be that Tapioca Maltodextrin is naturally a hard carbohydrate to digest. All I know is that this is not an easy shake to take down. It's a pity since I like the model of Naked. Pure and minimal ingredients. I hope they can reformulate this one. Their price point certainly demands a product which is more fine tuned.
