I'm sorry, but dietary cholesterol has virtually no affect on the bodies cholesterol levels, and modern science supports this. Like most (mis)information, this "dietary cholesterol bad" myth was probably instituted by a study sponsored by the cereal/grain companies or something back in the 70's or 80's. Just like the whole "fat is bad" fad that took off during the 80's when low/no-fat everything came out. What happened next? Add in the processed fructose (corn syrup). Why corn syrup? Because corn is/was subsidized the US Govt (our tax dollars) and they put a tariff on imported sugar cane, making corn syrup the de'facto sweetener in American processed food. And why did that "fat is bad" thing take off? Because companies used the absolute cheapest forms of fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils). And what's cheaper than hydrogenated fats and that can be flown into foods under the radar? Processed fructose.

No worries there buddy. It's just like going to the store and buying a bag of chips, it's always half way filled. It's just the way these supplements are made, all of them form pills down to protein supplements. You should be looking at about 31.2oz at about 885g about a net way of 1.95lbs. It's more then enough to last you a month depending on your goals and how many grams of protien you are intaking daily per pound of body weight. And for the price your paying for, you can't beat it :) Your Good, no need to contact them.

Cho-lest-off is a wonderful product. I have used it since 2006. In 2006 I went on a statin (Lovastatin). After a few months I began having muscle pain and got off of it. With the Statin total cholesterol was 165 down from 220. I switched to Cholestoff and after two months I had my cholesterol measured again. The results were total cholesterol=165, LDL =76, just as good as the statin and no side effects. Hugh O.

It tastes good. Try it with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, very delicious. You do know vibrant health has this very same green drink IN a protein powder? The chocolate one is amazing.

I don't know for sure, because there are no nutritional values listed on the label, i.e., fat content, carbohydrate content, sugar, sodium e.t.c. Does anybody know. It seems to be pure but can not tell for sure. I use it to make sugar free dark chocolate, with sugar free Cocoa powder and Stevia powder instead of sugar

No this is for the creamy version. It has 2.5 g of sat fat or 12 percent. Thanks, Nick

My bag was mostly chocolate; you could tell just by the size of the candies. Biting in half and eye-balling it, I'd guess about 75-80% chocolate. I'd prefer a nice 50/50 balance, myself, but to get that, you pay a higher price. Even so, the quality bean is strong enough to hold its own and they are delicious. But if I had my druthers, I'd choose a better brand.

Mary: There is a scoop included (33 grams) which is considered a single serving upon which all of the nutritional information is based. I really enjoy it: it's clean, satisfying, eco-friendly packaging, lactose-free and a superior product, in my opinion, which is never humble. I've tried many other products and have yet to find one I like better. The 33g portion mixes up smooth, but with body and a luxurious mouth-feel, so you don't feel hungry or deprived, or disappointed by the watery texture. I also choose to bump mine up using Almond Milk instead of dairy, and fresh fruit makes it a true treat! Hope that is helpful!

That's a good question. I don't often read about cholesterol because the rest of my diet is so low fat. My own belief is that some cholesterol is good, but it depends on the source of it.

375 You can find the Nutritional Information at this link (assuming Amazon allows external links) http://www.nestlehealthscience.us/products/Pages/ISOSOURCE®-1-5-CAL.aspx If not go look up Nestle Health Science and the data is listed there. Good product, too bad it doesn't come in Chocolate... :)

For me it's ok when mixed with most other things. I like Chocolate Whey and maybe some skim milk to taste. I've also mixed it with Cytomax. Personal taste, just mix it with something you like and it's fine. I'm on my third large container and don't notice the taste any more. It's a lot better than trying to eat the large amount of veggies you are supposed to eat every day.

I find that this is excellent chocolate for baking with a deeper chocalatey taste. Sorry, but as far as antioxidants, I can't answer that question.

This must be a user to user system. I'm not the seller, but a buyer. The only ingredient on the list is chocolate. So, I would assume the cocoa content to be pretty high.

It does list cholesterol. Under "amount per serving" is shows 0g. Under "%DV" it shows 0%. Even though there not any in this product, it is nice they addressed the issue on the label. I love this stuff, I am 60 years old and my wife is 57. We went for plaque buildup test (its kind of like an MRI). Hers was 0% and mine was 3%, we have been using this product for a while and I believe it really helps .

The amounts are correct. Hershey's coco powder does have less fat, but it is processed in a way that removes all of the coco butter from the powder. This item is processed differently. I checked my Ghirardelli powder and found it had the same fat content as this product. I wouldn't hesitate to use this product based on its fat content as it is a really good product and had a very delicious flavor. And the fat is a "good" fat, so I wouldn't worry about it to much.
