Guys was at the Vitamin Shoppe last week and they have protien tabs which is pre-digested and contains 1-gram of protien per tab they come in 200ct and 100ct why does this seem like a scam to me cuz if you were talking 180 grams of protien ed through whole foods and shakes what is 10 extra grams gonna do I mean whats the big deal with 1 more shake V.S. 1 gram tab just thinking

I guess the best way to use the tabs would be to supplement the diet, not try and make the tabs the staple of the diet.....At least if I were to take them that is what I would do.

Do you mean Amino Acid tabs?

Nothing wrong with supplementing with a high quality peptide bonded amino acid. Make sure the quality is there with a high level of hydrolosates though.

They are perfect protein and keep your nitrogen levels high throughout the day.

I wouldn't say they are necessary if your nutrition is good, but they can be a good buffer for any diet, especially a poor one.
