Hello, Thanks for the query.
The product mentioned contains a lot of carbohydrate which will get converted to glucose in the system. So for a diabetic person this is not a suitable preparation. If you are looking for protein supplement then eggs are one of the best choices. Thanks.
Hello sir,
Please do share your health goals.
For what purpose you want to drink horlicks?
If you want to take horlicks to increase protein intake,
You can take it from natural foods like milk and milk products, dry fruits , pulses and whey protein etc.
It is bad for the health of your wallet or purse.
Get your nutrition from proper foods that preferable you prepare yourself. If you do, you don?t need horlicks, intended for either men or women.
If you don?t have time for this, then maybe you need to re-examine your priorities in life. Proper, nutritious food must be at the top of your list of priorities.
Its all marketing strategy to make you believe that the women?s horlicks is good for health. Better go for unprocessed natural food. Some time we forgetting that all those foods are processed from natural food only.

Hi lybrate-user,
it is not that something bad or opposite will happen when you drink women's horlicks .it just emphasizes on nutrients which are required in more quantity in women than men like calcium, iron etc because women are more prone to calcium and iron deficiency than men. It does not mean that men do not require these nutrients, they can have it but comparatively in less quantity because men generally do not lack in these nutrients.
