Q: What makes the formula cleaner compared to the original CLR protein?

A: The updated formula eliminates [specify removed ingredients] and replaces them with [specify cleaner alternatives]. The result is a protein water that is easier to digest, free from [artificial colors/sweeteners/etc.], and better suited for the sensitive nutritional needs that many post-bariatric patients have. Every ingredient was reviewed to serve a purpose without unnecessary additives.

Q: How much protein does Vertical Protein Water contain per serving?

A: Each serving of Vertical Protein Water contains 20g of protein with 80 calories. It is designed to help bariatric patients meet their daily protein targets without contributing excess carbohydrates or fats, making it easy to incorporate into a post-surgery nutrition plan.

Q: Can I drink Vertical Protein Water immediately after bariatric surgery?

A: Always follow the guidance of your bariatric care team regarding when to introduce specific products after surgery. Generally, Vertical Protein Water is well-suited for the liquid or soft food phases due to its clear, light texture, but your surgeon or dietitian's protocol takes priority. We recommend sharing the full ingredient list with your provider if you are unsure.

Q: Does Vertical Protein Water contain electrolytes?

A: No, Vertical Protein Water does not constrain electrolytes, however, you can explore our Clear Whey Protein with Electrolytes for a formula that combines clean whey protein with added electrolyte support.

Q: What flavors are available for Vertical Protein Water?

A: Vertical Protein Water is available in Berry Blitz, Razz Lemonade, & Lemon Ice. Flavors are formulated without artificial dyes to align with the cleaner formula approach taken across this updated protein line.

Q: How does clear protein compare to regular protein powder?

A: Regular protein powder mixes into a thick, milky shake that can feel heavy and is harder to digest, especially after bariatric surgery. Clear protein is filtered to a much higher degree, removing fat and lactose and leaving behind a light, transparent liquid that tastes closer to a flavored water than a shake.

For bariatric patients, the practical differences matter:

• Sits lighter on the stomach and is easier to finish a full serving
• Lower in lactose, meaning fewer GI side effects for sensitive stomachs
• Contributes to your fluid intake at the same time as your protein
• Easier to consume consistently throughout the day without flavor fatigue

If traditional shakes have been difficult to tolerate, clear protein is worth trying as a lighter, more comfortable alternative.

Q: What is clear whey protein?

A: Clear whey protein is a highly filtered form of whey isolate that has been processed to remove fat, lactose, and anything that creates a cloudy or thick consistency. The result is a protein that mixes into a light, transparent liquid rather than a milky shake.

It delivers the same protein content as traditional whey but in a format that is easier to digest, lower in lactose, and far more tolerable for people with sensitive stomachs or those recovering from bariatric surgery. Think of it as the difference between drinking a sports drink versus a protein shake, with the same muscle-supporting protein benefit.

Vertical Protein Water is built on this clear whey foundation, designed specifically to meet post-bariatric protein needs in a format that is easy to drink and easy to keep down.

Q: Is clear whey protein lactose free?

A: Clear whey protein is not always certified lactose free, but it is extremely low in lactose due to the advanced filtration process used to produce it. Most people with lactose sensitivity tolerate it without issue.

Regular whey concentrate retains a significant amount of lactose from milk. Clear whey goes through additional filtering that removes nearly all of it, bringing residual lactose down to a level that typically causes no symptoms even in sensitive individuals.

Vertical Protein Water uses whey protein isolate. If you have a diagnosed lactose allergy rather than a sensitivity, review the full ingredient panel and confirm with your dietitian before use.
