A full RDA recommended dose of vitamins and minerals make these complete formulas.

All of the products have been designed with the highest quality ingredients to help to prevent any GI issues.

Can I take the product if I am lactose intolerant?

Yes, Resurgex Select utilizes 100% whey protein isolate and is entirely void of any lactose.

Resurgex and Resurgex Plus contain only trace amounts of lactose from the whey and casein protein combination used. If someone is severely lactose intolerant it may be best to consult his or her healthcare practitioner first.

Those with milk allergies need to be considerate of the whey protein used in all three Resurgex formulas.

What if I am pregnant or lactating?

None of the products are recommended for those who are pregnant or lactating.

Do any of the Resurgex products contain soy?

Resurgex Select has been reformulated whereby the use of soy protein has been eliminated. The present formulation was changed to include 100% whey protein isolate. Whey protein isolate disperses better in solution as well as imparts more immune supportive whey peptides and is virtually void of lactose and cholesterol. While this change is immediate and reflects the current production of all Resurgex Select flavors, there will still be a comment on packaging as to the trace amount of soy that may be present since we use small amounts of lecithin along with MCT's and DHA as sources of fat for better texture and mouth feel of the final product. Again, trace amounts of soy may be detected however they will not contribute any phytoestrogens and are therefore not a concern.

Is there vitamin K in Resurgex Select?

We do not add vitamin K to Select. There are residual amounts of vitamin K in the vegetable blend that amounts to insignificant quantities - insufficient to place on the label. Essentially, the amount of vitamin K found in the vegetable blend amounts to approximately 0.6 mcg per packet - the RDA is 65 - 80 mcg. It is in such negligible amounts that it does not register on our nutrient fact box and should therefore not be a concern for those using blood thinning medications.
