I've been going to the gym for about 4 months now and eating considerably healthier than I used to, but I realized I dont get enough protein in my diet. I decided to try a supplement and the guy at the store recommended Biox xtreme power meal. I thought all I wanted was protein but this is what he said I needed. Anyway, I've never used a supplement before so my first question is do I want to be taking this? I'm not sure because I tried it for the first time today using half as much as the instructions say and I had a bit of a reaction to it. My lips and throat got swollen up a bit and I didn't feel too well for about half an hour. Being the first time I used this stuff I'm not sure if thats normal, but I assume not. Anyway, should I try it again, or exchange it for something else (if so, what?), or just avoid supplements completely?
Supplement Allergy?

Anything you have a serious reaction to, should not be taken. Are you sure it was that product, not something else? I've never heard of it, but it doesnt appear to be any different than anything else. If you have a reaction to it again, I would exchange it for some basic whey protein powder.
supplement
The reaction could be from something else (food, allergies, peanuts, etc.) But if you're not sure, Definately stop using the product until you know what's causing the problem.
There are a lot of natural supplements you can use instead of the more synthetic stuff. Look around the net, you'll find tons of stuff. Also as Tony mention, try whey protien...
