I'm possibly interested in trying out shakeology, but before i do, I'd like the following questions answered. So no PMs or anything like that until these questions are answered in the thread. Thanks!
1. Is shakeology manufactured in a facility meeting the following complience standards?
NSF Certification Guideline 306
NSF GMP Registration Policies
GMP requirements in NSF/ANSI Standard 173 Section 8
NNfA GMP Certified
2. Can you provide any 3rd party COAs for shakeolgy?
3. Since shakeology is a MRP, why does it not use slower digesting proteins such as micellar casein or a blend of proteins?
4. Shakeolgy is touted as low GI certified, what relavance does that have to the avg person and why are their shakeology recipes on the site which would then change the GI of the shake?
5. Why does it use cyanocobalmin instead of methylcobalin?
6. why does it use only the alpha from of tocophenyl instead of a full spectrum of tocerpherols and tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, gamma)?
7. why does it use plain niacin instead of inositol hexanicotinate?
8. why does it use just beta catrotene instead of both alpha and beta carotenes?
9. according to the marketing material shakeolgy "Shakeology was specially formulated for the collection of ingredients to work together like a symphony" can you provide any peer reviewed researching showing that all the compounds esp in the prop blends work synergistically and are in the proper amounts? Just off the top of my head i know that zinc depends on copper for optimum utilization, optimally in a 10 to 1 ratio (shakeology has a 7.5:1 ratio, which may lead to the suppression of copper-based antioxidant enzymes)
10. since there is an abundant use of prop blends, how can i tell if all the extra ingredients are in their optimal dosages that have shown benefits to humans or just label filler?
these are just a few i have off the top of my head after looking label and website

I am signing over my nutritional needs to you... if you would kindly start cooking and shopping for me, then I can stop stressing about food!0

I just want to know why it tastes so atrocious.0

Great questions! I don't have answers for them unfortunately, so I have sent your questions off to Beachbody. I am curious to hear their response and see what they have to say. I will post it here when I hear back. I enjoy learning about new things and a couple items you asked about I am not familiar with and am looking forward to learning more. Thanks for asking these questions! I am a firm believer in there always being something new to learn!0

i think your own questions should give you the answer: don't waste your money on shakeology. Make your own shake with whatever ingredients you've worked out is optimum or buy another brand you've worked out is ok. I'm sure you are paying extra for the fact is is branded by beach body than something else that doesn't have such a large corporation attached to it.0

I am also curious about the answer to these fabulous questions!I am signing over my nutritional needs to you... if you would kindly start cooking and shopping for me, then I can stop stressing about food!
Btw, I thought I already offered to shop and cook for you.... :sad:0 -
What's with all this detailed information, it can't be that important.
Make it expensive, add ology to the end for sophistication , and that should be enough for a decent baffling of the brains and a collective yes to the desperately naive. That kind of marketing is 101. You see, it isn't the deficit that facilitates weight loss, it's proteinology, who would have thunk it. Sorry, I know this is a serious question, but I couldn't resist.0 -
bump for entertainment later0

Why are there no X's in the name? Everyone knows all hardcore supps have at least one X.
Will there soon be Shakeology-EXXXTREME?0 -

How strange Acg67. You don't seem to be getting assistance.0

How strange Acg67. You don't seem to be getting assistance.
it is curious, i know i've seen plenty of coaches come out of the woodwork to tout Shakeology. So i'm lead to believe they actually don't know much about the supplement that they are selling at all. the first 2 questions should be easily answered though0 -
Acg67 you know I could answer all for you, but I'm not a Beach Body coach so that wouldn't be fair to take away the excellent answers from them to you questions.
