I dont know if anyone can help me but.....is there caffine in protein shakes? ther reason i ask is that i am very sensitive to caffine and if i get to much of it my heart flutters and i feel weird. I have tried to eat a protein bar called ProMax and when i do i get those feelings. I looked on the back of the label to see if it has caffine but it is not listed as one of the ingrediences. I really want to start drinking some protein shakes but i am a little scared. Does anyone know about this???

If you get some form of pure protein powder (or tuna or eggs) than make up your own, you can control the other ingredients so guarantee there is none. I personally use an unflavoured soy powder, mix it with milk and a banana. It tastes a lot better than any of the flavoured ones, and is cheaper and I know exactly what is in it.

As for supplements as a whole they often don’t mention the caffeine because it is not separately added, rather is just part of another bean or nut that they do mention.
