I have been supplementing my protein intake with your Whey Smooth protein powder for quite some time and it’s absolutely delicious! However, I am concerned about the amount of cholesterol per scoop in the Whey Smooth - 75mg. Can you please help me understand if this is going to make my cholesterol go up or what do you suggest I do? My cholesterol is border line and I eat rather clean. Wondering if this could be culprit. Thoughts? Thank you!

I understand the ActiveMV is meant for those living an active lifestyle. But there's also the Over 50 MV and the Women's MV. 1. If I have a client who is a 60 yr old woman for example (and lives a very active lifestyle), which supplement should I recommend for her? 2. If I have a client who's over 50 but also active, should I recommend Over50MV or ActiveMV? 3. If I have a client who's a woman and active, should I recommend Women's MV or ActiveMV?
