Which shake is for lactose intolerance? And do you mix the lactose intolerant shakes with water also?

The HMR 70+ shake is lactose free, using an egg white for the majority of the base instead of milk. This shake DOES contain calcium caseinate and calcium phosphate.

You would still mix the shake with water as you do the others.
