Description

What's the Difference? 

In choosing your Absorb Plus Vegan flavor, please note that UNSWEETENED has natural flavors but no added sweeteners, while the other vegan flavors are sweetened with natural fructose and stevia.

PLEASE TRY A SAMPLE FIRST BEFORE ORDERING! We do not accept returns on opened products, so before ordering large tubs, please try a sample first to check for allergies or intolerance.  

Absorb Plus Vegan is a delicious tasting, 100% natural, semi-elemental (pre-digested for maximum absorption to the bloodstream within 20 minutes of ingestion) polymeric liquid dietary supplement protein shake. It contains 27 grams per serving of Organic, sprouted brown rice isolate protein. 370 calories per serving. Certified gluten-free (less than 20 ppm). Made with 100% natural flavors. No artificial ingredients or preservatives.

 


For those of you who have never tried rice protein isolate - it has a nuttier taste and more grainy texture than whey protein isolate. 

What are the benefits of Absorb Plus?

  •  Easy and gentle on your stomach and digestive system
  •  Helps maintain or gain solid weight (not fat)
  •  Daily nutritional support
  •  Delicious taste - and all-natural!
  •  Feel more energy and sleep better

May be used exclusively as part of an elemental, bowel rest diet (reduced fecal matter), or along with other foods as part of a low residue diet, or to provide high-quality nutrients in liquid, easily-digested form. May also be used for food clearance or allergy testing. Absorb Plus has been carefully formulated to meet the unique needs of people who have problems chewing, swallowing, digesting or absorbing their food. There is currently NO product on the market that matches Absorb Plus in nutritional value or the extremely high quality of our ingredients.

Custom-blend of 10 additional targeted amino acids, specially selected for gut repair, for example:

• Over 1000 mg of L-Glutamine per serving to rebuild mucosal cell lining in intestines
• L-Serine for production of immunoglobulins and antibodies
• L-Threonine to aid the formation of collagen and elastin
• L-Cysteine to aid wound healing
• L-Tyrosine to aid function of pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands
• L-Aspartic Acid to protect the liver
• L-Proline to heal cartilage, strengthen joints, tendons and heart muscle

Our vitamin and mineral panel:

• Full panel of trace minerals – trace mineral deficiency is common in chronic illness.
• Also contains 10 mcg Vitamin K2 (as MK-7; first identified by Dr. Weston A. Price as “Activator X”) and 100 mcg of potassium citrate per serving.
• Contains full electrolyte panel.
 
Formulated to allow people to add their own amount of good fat – since everyone’s fat tolerance level varies. We suggest adding 1 tbsp. organic flax or Udo’s Choice oil (which brings total calorie count to approximately 480 calories per shake).


 

Please Note: We strongly advise you purchase a few sample sizes of Absorb Plus, or just 1 tub, before buying the volume needed to do a full elemental diet. This will allow you to check for allergies or intolerance to any of the ingredients. Signs of intolerance or food allergy include: brain fog, grogginess, sore joints, headaches, nausea, gut pain, skin rash, blurred vision, asthma, chest pains, edema, elevated blood pressure, etc. 

Absorb Plus was formulated by colon and bowel disorder expert Jini Patel Thompson to provide maximum nutrition to help build and strengthen your immune system and allow you to maintain or gain solid weight (muscle, not fat). Absorb Plus provides nutrients, supplements, protein (certified organic sprouted brown rice protein isolate) and carbohydrates (tapioca maltodextrin - from cassava root) in the most desirable forms and proportions, and in ratios that allow for optimum use and absorption. This liquid diet protein shake also includes an extensive array of therapeutic free-form amino acids (over 1000 mg L-Glutamine per serving!), with a superior vitamin and mineral profile (including trace minerals). Finally, Absorb Plus tastes so good, you can consume it up to 12 times a day if necessary!

There are approximately 10 servings per jar - sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a little bit less as Absorb Plus is packed by weight and there can be some settling during shipping and storage. Start with half a serving and build up gradually, allowing your body time to adjust to this unique (elemental) food source.

Jini Says +
Jini Says

In formulating this vegan version of the Absorb Plus elemental diet shake, my primary concern was to find a vegan protein source that was likely to be highly tolerated, plus in a highly bio-available form. Lastly, the protein needed to actually be a protein isolate, not a generalized protein or concentrate that would likely contain a lot of carbohydrate matter as well. The certified organic, sprouted (fermented to increase digestibility) brown rice protein isolate in this product fit the bill and also passed my taste requirements!

Every other ingredient, from the amino acids to the vitamins to the natural flavors are certified vegan. One thing you should know, is that when I assess ingredients for Absorb Plus (and the other supplements I formulate), I don't just look at the finished material from the supplier, I also look at the entire material extraction flow chart to see which method of extraction was used, which filtration agents, which substances were used to ferment, etc.

Personally, my favorite flavor is the Mocha Latte and I'm so pleased to finally have this Vegan version available for all those who don't tolerate whey isolate OR who see the value in rotating protein sources.

Remember that when you consume a high volume of one type of protein continuously, the body might develop an intolerance to it, over time. For that reason, even if you prefer one or the other, I encourage you to alternate between the vegan and regular (whey isolate) Absorb Plus, if you can.

Absorb Plus is an elemental shake product that I formulated, for use as an elemental diet, or a half-elemental diet, or just to supplement your diet with highly nutritious, easily absorbed nutrients - for those who cannot digest or absorb the nutrients from whole foods.

What Is An Elemental Diet?

An elemental diet is also referred to as a bowel rest diet. It is a pre-digested, liquid diet that contains all the basic nutrients your body needs. The nutrients are in pre-digested form so they require very little digestion and the nutrients are easily and quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. In this way an elemental diet supplies your nutritional needs whilst giving your digestive system a rest. It can be helpful for people with colitis, Crohn's, diverticulitis, severe IBS, AIDS, the elderly, and some forms of cancer - especially when combined with targeted healing substances and bone broths - as I show you in my IBD Remission Diet book.

The stool that results from an elemental diet is greatly reduced in volume and usually liquid, therefore, it also gives your colon a rest from passing normal stool and this helps colonic wounds to heal faster.

I used an elemental diet to recover from a bout of hemorrhaging that left me weighing 99 lbs (I'm 5'7"). In six weeks I weighed 135 pounds and was working out at the gym 3 times a week (my complete story and instructions on the type of elemental diet I used are in my book The IBD Remission Diet.)

What Is A Half-Elemental Diet?

A half-elemental diet is used when someone's IBD is still active and they are having difficulty tolerating foods and eating or absorbing adequate nutrition. But for whatever reason, they cannot (or do not want to) do a full elemental diet. So, instead, they consume half their daily calories as elemental diet shakes and the other half is comprised of easily tolerated foods.

In a 2006 clinical trial, doctors assessed 26 patients with Crohn’s Disease, who used a combination of an elemental diet for half of their food intake (900 – 1200 calories per day) and then whatever they wished for the other half (”free diet”). The control group consisted of 25 patients with Crohn’s Disease who just consumed an unrestricted diet, whatever they wanted to eat (100% free diet).

Then, they measured the recurrence of relapse (symptom flare-up) over a two year period. The relapse rate in the half elemental diet group was significantly lower – only 34.6% – versus a relapse rate of 64% in the free diet group. (Source: Effectiveness of an 'half elemental diet' as maintenance therapy for Crohn's disease: a randomized-controlled trial. S. Takagi, K. Utsunomiya et. al. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 24, 1333-1340)

When mixing your shakes (if not elemental) I do not recommend you use soy milk (depresses thyroid function, inhibits mineral absorption) or pasteurized milk (mucous-producing and irritating to the gut). Use other nut milks, raw milk, goat, camel, etc. However, if you want to keep your shakes elemental, then mix only with water.

Important: All elemental diet shakes are VERY sticky on the teeth. So be sure to brush after each shake - pay particular attention to the gum line - to avoid tooth decay.

Transitioning Off Elemental Shakes

Please know that when your digestive system has healed to the point where you can absorb nutrition and you are no longer underweight, then it is likely time to transition off Absorb Plus and onto a whey or veggie protein shake, or easily tolerated foods.

Not only is this cheaper, but it's better for ongoing gut health to avoid simple carbohydrates (like tapioca maltodextrin) when you are able to use superfoods like chia seed and flax seed instead. I have sourced excellent ones for you here, so be sure to check them out when you are ready. Here are my instructions for transitioning off of an elemental diet.

  • 5 stars: 69 (82%)
  • 4 stars: 8 (10%)
  • 3 stars: 5 (6%)
  • 2 stars: 0 (0%)
  • 1 star: 2 (2%)

Tasted great but…

I tried the sample sizes for the unsweetened vanilla Brulée, and for the simply Horchata creme. I had symptoms with the vanilla vegan shake. It caused me to have a headache and a weird prickly feeling near my throat and a little bit of pain on my abdomen. But I think this had to do with a histamine reaction.
A few weeks later, I tasted the simply Horchata vegan shake, and that one didn’t cause me any negative reactions. But I think that this one went well for me because I was already going on for a week of supplementing with Quercetin.
I really like the simply Horchata so I ordered the bigger container and also ordered another sample size of absorb plus shake to taste. I am currently healing from having intestinal permeability (aka Leaky gut) and I really need to gain some weight. So I am looking forward to using more of these shakes. I drank the whole sample size container and it gave me a lot of energy for about 4 hours and I felt satisfied and full.

Thanks so much for sharing this—your detailed experience is incredibly helpful, and we’re truly glad you found a good fit with the Simply Horchata Vegan shake 🙌

It definitely makes sense that histamine sensitivity might’ve played a role in your reaction to the Unsweetened Vanilla Brûlée, especially since you noticed improvement after adding Quercetin (a lot of our community members find it supportive in similar situations!).

It sounds like you’re being really thoughtful with your healing process, and we’re cheering you on as you work to support your gut and gain weight. If you’d ever like help figuring out which formulas might be gentler or better-suited during flare-ups, we’re just an email away

Keep us posted on how the new sample goes!

Mocha Latte Delight!

This product and flavor is fantastic. Vegan is what I need to be on and the Mocha Latte flavor tastes really good. This has now become my favorite flavor and adding the calcium, minerals, flaxseed oil and other supplements don't take away from the flavor. Thank you so much!

Not for me, but could be a good fit if you're looking for a clean vegan protein powder.

I don't love the taste, but what put the kibosh on this product for me was the fact that it's brown rice protein-based. If you have gastroparesis, it's just a non-starter. I think egg white protein might be easier to digest? However, if you can tolerate the protein vehicle and the taste meets your personal preference, this would be about the best vegan elemental-ish shake out there.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and balanced review. Jini selected certified organic, sprouted brown rice protein isolate because she wanted a fully vegan protein that was highly bioavailable, low in carbohydrates, and more easily tolerated than many concentrates. The sprouting and fermentation process was also chosen to support digestibility. That said, everyone’s tolerance and taste preferences are different, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience to help others decide whether Vegan Absorb Plus is right for them.

Favorite unsweetened

This is my son's favorite unsweetened flavor to mix with sweetened flavors. (I always have to buy double of this flavor.) We mix it with everything... vegan mocha, simply chocolate, banana coconut creme, even cinnaom horchata. It's a great add on for a little chocolatey touch, but dumbs down the sweetness of other flavors to make them a little more palateable, especially when drinking 5 or 6 a day!

Good flavor, very sweet

My 11 year old son enjoys this one, but as with nearly all of the sweetened flavors, he prefers to mix half and half with something unsweetened. His favorite to combine with the cinnamon horchata is unsweetened coco choc.

Love the taste and I can feel that it makes a big difference. I've used Sunwarriors products when I was budgeting, but these work a lot better for me. And I appreciate that it's vegan.

I really like this product

I really like this product. I have very specific needs as I am allergic to many foods and struggle to keep my blood sugar regulated. It is very easy to use the product and convenient to take along if you must go somewhere. I think it tastes good. It is effective as well because on day 14 I began to have symptoms of die off.

The vegan vanilla Brule has a decent taste, but

The vegan vanilla Brule has a decent taste, but my daughter doesn't care for it so much. So if I put two scoops of vanilla Brule with one scoop og anic organ vanilla protein she will drink it. She prefers chocolate, but the vegan protein from this company. So again I use two scoops of vanilla Brule and 1 scoop of organic organic chocolate protein and she likes it.

Hi Christine, thank you so much for taking the time to share this

We really appreciate your honest feedback and we love hearing how you’ve made it work for your daughter by mixing flavors. Taste preferences can definitely vary, especially with plant-based formulas, so your tip about combining Vanilla Brule with chocolate is genuinely helpful for other families reading this.

If you ever have questions or want help choosing flavors that might suit her taste even better, we’re always happy to help.

Thanks again for being part of the LTYG community

Sometimes I get a headache from too much

Sometimes I get a headache from too much carbohydrates.

Hi Timothy, Thank you for sharing this.

A few customers have mentioned experiencing headaches when their body is sensitive to certain carbohydrates or ingredients. One gentle approach that has helped others is starting with a half serving, sipping it very slowly, and noticing how your body responds. Some find they do better splitting a full serving into two halves taken about an hour apart.

That said, everyone’s system is different, and we’d love to understand your experience a bit more so we can support you properly. We’ll reach out to you directly to see how we can help improve your experience with the product.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.

Happy Gut, Happy Me!!!

I'm using Absorb Plus to supplement my nutrition and help my gut rest when it is being disagreeable. I'd recommend it because it is more complete than a simple protein powder and the Simply Horchata is soooo delicious. I'm so grateful that I found Listen To Your Gut!

Exactly what I needed

AbsorbPlus is a lifesaver during periods when symptoms largely preclude eating. It ticks all of the boxes in terms of protein and nutrients to keep me fueled during the day and it's become an invaluable piece of my half-elemental diet (elemental shakes during the day, low-residue whole foods at dinner). I wish that the flavors were a bit tastier, but, considering the fact that most vegan shakes taste like dirt (thanks, pea protein), AbsorbPlus Vegan suffices.

One of my favs

Probably my favorite vegan Absorb plus. Perfect cinnamon flavor that is not overly sweet. Vegan Absorb plus I find a little gritty in texture but doesn't bother me at all. Love having the variety with the whey.

Great product + amazing customer service

Absorb plus vegan vanilla brulee was my life-saver for several times .. I´m struggling with intestinal dysbiosis, stomach problems and intestinal inflammation, which all led to rapid weight loss. In times when I was so sick that I was not able to eat almost anything, this helped me to overcome the period until my stomach and intestine felt better. Unfortunately product was not available for quite long time in our country, so I purchased it two times here in LTYG shoppe (US) and would like to send again BIG THANK YOU to whole team for their support & help. Absolutely recommend the product as well as any purchase on this e-shop!

Very best

I have used Absorb products since 2022. I had years of intestinal issues, diagnosises from IBS-C, Crohnes, even SIBO. up front I only used Absorb for about 2 months. I order more product now and then as I need to supplement current issues and rebalance my gut. I have tried other products but they DO NOT compare to Absorb. I get what I pay for.

Love the product. Subscription is difficult to lock in. It’s two weeks late and it hard to get a rotating flavor. Trying to get 3A month on a subscription and it’s a fail to do that. Any help would be great.

Thank you for the 5-star review and your kind words about the product! We’re sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve faced with your subscription. We’ll reach out to you directly to assist with your concerns and help get your subscription sorted out, including the rotating flavor and setting up deliveries a month.
