It says to mix in 40 degrees of water, so should i heat water to 100 degrees and cool it down or heat it only until 40 degrees?

Can Sustegen hospital formula be served 4 times a day for the elderly person? Thanks.

Seriously, I don't use the product anymore. You should try Up & Go Protein Energise. I believe it has less sugar and more protein!

But the Up & Go contains gluten so Sustagen is still one of the best options for those who can’t tolerate wheat/gluten.

Can milo and sustagen be mixed together in milk

blueferrari

No, that would be terrible. Sustagen is fine as it is, both for nourishment and taste.

Is there sustagen in pill form?

Not that I know of. I think you would be looking at Vitamins then.

Can I mix sustagen with cold milk?

blueferrari
blueferrari  

Yes, and it tastes great! Use a shaker and it's just like a milkshake, only a little more nutritious.

would sustagen make my heart rate go up drinking it just before going to bed

blueferrari
blueferrari  

No, sustagen is not an energy drink, so nothing that will make your heart race. It’s mainly made up of proteins, vitamins etc, as a good meal replacement or after a workout/physical activity. Not good to eat or drink much before bed though or at least an hour before.

I love sustagen and been taking it since last year as i have difficulties swallowing solid foods, but i want to ask exactly how many times a day do i take sustagen? And would it be a risk in taking sustagen more than twice a day?

blueferrari

Hi, I have double checked with Nestle HealthScience and it is recommended that 2 servings a day should be maximum. So that's 3 scoops in water or milk twice a day. Milk can also be used to increase nutritional value, but keep in mind fat content in milk. Perhaps stick to low fat milk in this case. There are other options, including hospital formula and Sustagen Active, so worth checking them out in your local store. I hope this helps and you can also get further advice by calling 1800 671 628. As mentioned, I use Sustagen Sport after training and I have noticed significant improvements in recovery, muscle mass and overall and tone. I also use it sometimes as a meal replacement or on the go and it's great.

Change to unsweetened Almond milk, just so good.....I lived on Sustagen milkshakes with a banana, Graviola (soursop) fruit & icecream, when I had cancer & that was 13years ago, & still have it every morning without the fruit now, but eat fruit separately as well.....I am now 80.....

I am 64 and had my first drink of sustagen vanilla today it was yum.. how many times a day should I drink it.? I skip meals sometimes but I was to put some weight on.. will this help?

blueferrari

If you are talking about Sustagen Sport, I only have it after training or exercise. It is also good after a strenuous day of gardening or other activity, or even before, so only once a day. It is also good as a substitute for a meal, but I would suggest only once per day maximum, as it is not a substitute for a balanced diet.

does the benefits of sustagen get affected when mixing with hot drinks

blueferrari
blueferrari  

I wouldn't suggest "boiling water" as this could. It is recommended either cold or warm, so that said, I would recommend it in warmed up low fat milk for added taste and nutrition value.

I have been taking sustagen for 2 weeks & have started to get hot flushes again after many year without them. I'm 78 & was feeling tired all the time then read about lack of protein can cause tiredness so tried sustagen. I have much more energy. Is it possible I am getting hot flushes from taking this?

will this help me build muscle and fat?

Oh no, sustagen is just an instant energy giving food to pick you up instantly due to fatigue or hunger pang as this drink has all the necessary vitamins to pick you up and give you the energy you need there and then due to fatigue and tiredness. Mix four teaspoon full of sustagen mix with milk

either full cream or skim does not hurt but gives you the bounce back when you need it that's all. won't make you fat and wont build your muscles you need gym work out for that.

haa.. dutch chocokate is the favourite flavour. Hope this answers your curiosity!.

Hi if you want to build muscle and fat you need to visit the health food store to get the necessary vitamins and muscle building gym food. I assume you are real skinny and needs help to build muscle and far ... vist your local gym and seek advise from them. hope this answers your question.

Why is it giving me diarrhea??? I have been on it 4 days an been to the toilet 7 times today !!

cathy dewar
cathy dewar  

yes, does gives you the runs but does not hurt as long as you are not sweating and you feel fine. the runs is probably good for letting out all the greasy food you have been taking its like taking fat blaster tablets where all the grease and oil one consumes from junk food gets flushed out helps to loose weight . The body is rejecting those unwanted oily stuff you ate.

cathy dewar
cathy dewar  

Oh dear you better go see the doctor because 7 days is bit much and again if you are not feeling sick from purging so much why worry helps you to loose weight I assume you are an overweight or needs loosing. Importantly you are not feeling sick or sluggish then this diarrhrea does help you to loose weight but on the other hand if you are a thin skinny person then go see the doctor or take imodium to stop diarrhea.

Aneel

7 times a day to the toilet is not bad diarrhoea and may not be considered as diaries by doctors
