Review on 🌱 Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder: Vanilla Bean, Vegan & Low Net Carbs – Gluten Free, Non Dairy, Lactose Free by Denise Rose

Revainrating 1 out of 5

abdominal pain and bloating.

In short, try a little more vegan protein alternatives before you go with Orgain. the fact that it's a bestseller and has some decent reviews. 1) My goal when buying it was to take it after the gym. I don't think it's intended for that (although it says it's intended for athletes in particular) and seems more geared towards meal replacement as ingredients are designed to affect appetite. The pack doesn't even have an amino acid profile, which I really wish I had. 2) It tastes noticeably better than my first vegan brand (Sunwarrior Warrior Blend, which tastes awful) but other reviewers don't seem to like the taste. - I have vanilla. Perhaps after suppressing the awful taste for so long, the less bad taste became much less noticeable to me. 3) Aside from the taste, however, I had a pretty bad stomach ache within an hour of taking it. It doesn't seem like my experience among clients is entirely unique. I wasn't sure if it was this or something else until I tried it two more times and encountered the same problem both times. Although the first time was the worst. Further research into the ingredients revealed: - Organic Acacia Gum: A thickening agent derived from the acacia tree that also contains fiber to help suppress appetite. Possible side effects that may occur are: A) Nausea, gas and bloating. B) Loose stools, diarrhea and indigestion. Organic Erythritol: A sugar alcohol used as an alternative sweetener. It is only partially absorbed by the body and contains almost no calories. It can cause side effects such as: A) Indigestion, bloating and rumbling in the abdomen. B) Nausea, bloating and discomfort.- Organic Guar Gum: Fiber and thickener derived from the guar plant. It is sometimes used as a laxative and can cause bowel dilatation that mimics bloating. Among other things. I've experienced the above side effects all three times and it's quite annoying. I don't even think I can return it now - so it's a waste of money from above.
