I'vew been using Syntrax Nectar for a while and want to try the Carribian Cooler with OJ but I'm concerned the high level of acidity in the OJ will have a negative effect on the protein. Is there cause for concern or not?
Not really.. the main thing that breaks down protein in the stomach is an enzyme called pepsin with alittle help from the HCl. I don't think that citric acid has the strength in the small amounts that are found in most drinks.

Even if the citric acid affected the pepsin in the stomach, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Pepsin breaks proteins down into polypeptides, not into un-usable material.
I was thinking about mixing some of that Nectar with some pineapple juice to drink before/during work-out. Right now I use Universal Rage, but it has alot of ephedra/caffiene/ephedrine in it as well, and I don't want to take that **** anymore.
Make sure you make it with water as cold as possible. It tastes best ice cold.
When i make mine with a blender I put 4 ice cubes in the mix with water and it's liek a protein slurpee.
just a note, biggs-you might want to stick to the apple flavor to play it safe, as few people like the other two. i think carribean cooler ain't so bad, but cherry makes me gag every time. i had to give away my bottle.
