I take daily vitamins. Can I still drink Mix1?

Yes! mix1 can be safely taken with your daily supplement.
I'm lactose intolerant, and I'm worried about the whey in mix1.

Worry no more! We use only lactose-free whey protein in mix1, making it perfectly suitable for lactose-intolerant people.
I can't digest wheat or gluten. Can I drink mix1?

Yes again! mix1 is absolutely gluten-free.
I'm looking for nutritional support after my workout. Could mix1 be that support?

mix1 is a wonderful choice before and after working out-with its superior protein and glycemically-supportive carbohydrates, mix1 delivers the sustained energy and easy digestibility physically active people need.
How much caffeine is there in mix1?

None whatsoever! Unlike most energy drinks, mix1 is absolutely caffeine-free. The energy it provides comes from natural nourishment, not stimulants.
Why does mix1 use whey protein instead of soy protein?

It's all about biological value which basically means how well and how quickly your body is able to digest and truly use the protein. Whey protein isolate is the best when it comes to biological value. Compare whey protein isolate (159) to soy protein (74) and eggs (100). Read more here. . .
I do pretty well with my nutrition at mealtimes, but find myself craving unhealthy snacks in the afternoon. Would mix1 be a good substitute?

In fact, yes! mix1 is the perfect real-life support and healthy snack. The combination of whey protein (which has been shown to be helpful with stabilizing blood sugar), and soluble fiber (which further supports healthy blood sugar balance) makes mix1 the perfect healthy, satisfying pick-me-up for those afternoon energy crises we all experience.
Are there any preservatives in mix1?

No. None. mix1 is absolutely free of any artificial ingredients, including artificial preservatives.
Why so much sugar?

Every ingredient in mix1 has an important function, and is there for an important reason. The organic sugar we use in mix1 contributes to its 2:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, which supports balance and sustained energy. And, ounce for ounce, mix1 actually contains less sugar than a glass of unsweetened orange juice.
What is the source of the sugar in mix1?

Though sugar starts out as a natural product, it can be processed in lots of different ways. Conventionally grown, highly refined high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, the sweeteners most products on the market are sweetened with, are grown with the use of pesticides and herbicides. We use only natural, organic sugar and cane syrup to sweeten mix1.
Why do you use whey protein isolate?

We use whey protein isolate for its superior digestibility and usability by the body. Whey protein isolate has the highest biological value of all proteins, meaning it's the most absorbable protein. It's lactose, fat, and cholesterol-free, and is the richest source of the eight essential amino acids and branched chain amino acids for energy and vibrant health.
Is it lactose free?

Yes, mix1 is made with lactose-free whey protein isolate.
How long will mix1 stay fresh?

By using a combination of premium ingredients, innovative packaging, and pasteurization, we're able to make a great-tasting product that stays fresh (even at room temperature!) for over nine months! The special bottle mix1 comes in allows us to heat mix1 to a temperature that prevents any contamination. It goes into the bottle hot and is sealed immediately, protecting mix1 from any contaminants that might otherwise get into the bottle while it cools. This ensures the maximum product safety and stability, as well as best possible ingredient integrity and taste.
How much mix1 is it safe to drink?

We recommend mix one as a complement to a healthy balanced diet of whole foods--one to three bottles per day.
Can I live off of mix1?

Mix1 was designed to be part of an overall balanced and healthy diet. We encourage you to eat fresh, healthy and whole foods whenever you can and use mix1 when you are looking for a simple and convenient source for balanced nutrition on the go!
Can I drink it warm?

Of course!
Where is mix1 made?

Our production facility is located in southern California.
200 calories seems high. Why so much?

Again, we've considered every benefit and function of every ingredient in mix1. Calories are units of energy, and for 2-3 hours of healthy, sustained energy, the average adult needs at least 200 calories. They key difference is that unlike high-calorie conventional fast foods, mix1 is rich in nutrients: protein, fiber, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, so the energy you consume is put to good, healthy use.
Why is the carb count so high?

Carbohydrates are necessary for energy, and when combined with balancing protein and fiber, they're essential for sustained energy. We believe that the mix1 carb count is ideal for active, busy people to support their energy needs.
Is mix1 a meal?

mix1 is great as both a small meal replacement and a balanced snack.

Is the packaging recyclable? Why did you use a plastic bottle?

Why a liquid instead of a bar?

What's the difference between mix1 and an energy drink?
