## Frequently Asked Questions About Drink Wholesome

### Products

**Who is Drink Wholesome for?**
Drink Wholesome makes gut-friendly protein powder for sensitive stomachs, GERD (reflux), IBS, and other gut issues. Because it's additive, dairy, and gluten-free, it is suitable for most food sensitivities, including lactose intolerance. It won't contribute symptoms like bloating, constipation, and reflux.

**Why is Drink Wholesome the best protein powder for sensitive stomachs?** 
Drink Wholesome is the best protein powder for sensitive stomachs for 3 main reasons.
1. No Additives: Drink Wholesome is made without artificial and ultra-processed food additives. Regularly eating certain emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners and other additives might contribute to gut dysbiosis, which has been linked to chronic digestive issues.
2. No Dairy: Drink Wholesome is made without whey and casein, which often contain lactose, a sugar most people can’t fully digest. Some caseins also release a bioactive peptide during digestion that has been linked to digestive issues in sensitive individuals.
3. Minimally-Processed Protein: Other protein powders are made from ultra-processed protein concentrates and isolates, which have been mechanically and/or chemically stripped of non-protein components that promote digestion. Drink Wholesome, on the other hand, is made from minimally-processed protein sources, which might be more gut-friendly.

**What's the difference between egg white, collagen, and almond protein?**
As long as you eat a balanced diet (get protein from a variety of sources), any type of protein powder can help you meet your protein needs. So just pick the type that best suits your personal preferences.

**What is the difference between protein powder and meal replacement powder?**
Protein powder is high in protein and low in everything else, whereas meal replacement powder contains fats, carbs, fiber, and protein because it's intended to replace the nutritional value of a light meal.
