How Can Men Use Almased?

Written by Jamie, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

If you're wondering whether men can use Almased, you've found the right place! In this blog, we'll talk about how men can use Almased and answer one of the main concerns: whether Almased has any effect on male hormone, testosterone.

 

How much should I take if I’m 6’3”?

 

If you are over 6’ tall, you should take 10 Tbsp of Almased per meal replacement mixed with 12 oz of cold liquid (water, low-fat milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.). This should keep you full for about 4-5 hours.

If you get hungry quicker in between, you can have an additional Almased snack portion with 4-5 Tbsp of Almased mixed with about 8 oz of cold liquid.

 

Do Almased affect my testosterone level?

No, it does not. While individual cases of changes in sex hormones in men consuming soy have been reported, these men consumed extremely high doses of soy (3 quarts of soy milk per day, e.g.).

When the soy intake was reduced or discontinued, the hormonal effects were discontinued. In reality, clinical studies in men show that isoflavones from the soy do not affect testosterone levels or circulating estrogen levels.

Even at isoflavone levels significantly higher than a typical soy-rich diet consumed by males in East Asia. Bottom line, isoflavones have not been found to have feminizing effects; therefore, soy is safe to consume by men.

 

What is the best time to take protein when working out?

You can make the most out of your workouts by consuming a protein-rich supplement within 40 minutes post-workout to help your body repair and recover. Protein intake is needed to repair tissue damage that happens during exercise as well as helps build new muscle mass.

Overall, make sure you are getting enough protein throughout the day, especially in the morning to sustain your energy levels. 30 g of protein for each meal (three times per day) is recommended to help protect muscle mass and other bodily functions.
