Question 1

is amway nutrilite protein powder good as diatery supplement ?

Accepted Answer

Better available: It is ok but i think you can do much better. My concerns: the main ingredients are soy and milk protein. Almost all soy these days is gmo unless it is organic & there is evidence this is unsafe. Milk is mostly from cows fed gmo corn & soy unless organic. Amway does not use organic sources. A much better protein powder is whey cool from grass-fed cows. Also take a good multivitamin. See comment:.

Question 2

hello dr,i'm 28 years old male,weighing only 45 kg,all my blood parameters are normal,please advice whether i can take nutrilite protein powder of amw?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: but a balanced intake of protein, carbs, and fats, with essential vitamins, and regular exercise is core to good health.
Be Leary of supplements , some help ( but not as sole food source). 
Some are a waste of money.
Rarely some are fraud and dangerous.

Question 3

sir, please tell me nutrilite protein powder (amway product) is really helpful for our health?

Accepted Answer

Can't say that.: I am sorry, but I cannot make such a statement.  There is really nothing better for you than a good balanced diet. Protein supplements can be part of that diet but they are not necessary.

Question 4

i use, protein powder, daily, calcium, etc.

Accepted Answer

Not useful: Other than lightening your wallet, the supplement is not doing you any good.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

what is in nutrilite protein powder used for?

Accepted Answer

Protein substitute: It is advertised as a replacement for meat/dairy sources of protein. It has no advantage over normal foods and  costs much more. No sense wasting your money. Use lean meats and nonfat milk instead. If you wish to go vegetarian, then you will need to make sure that you have a guide so that you know what you are doing. The foods have to provide complementary proteins. Lact-ovo vegetarianism is best.

Weight gain: Your body mass index (bmi) is low, at 19.1. If you have not been tested for hyperthyroidism (h), go to physician and get a TSH level sent off to see if you have it. If you, you may need treatment for it.  If not, a low bmi is due to malnutrition. Try to eat calorie dense food, such as peanut butter that can add some weight which increasing your bmi. Good luck.
