Where could one get a protein supplement?
Protein supplements are readily available to consumers nowadays in a multitude of forms that include, pills, powders, shakes, drinks or even food bars. One can easily find these items at any store specializing in dietary supplements, most local supermarkets, warehouse shopping centers, superstore retailers or simply online.
If you have had a gastric bypass and need a lot of protein daily are there are any protein pills or tablets that you can take instead of having to drink a protein shake?
I am fairly certain that there are no pills or tablets that can provide the amount of protein needed for a gastric bypass patient. A gastric bypass patient post-op will need at LEAST 50-60 grams of protein daily. Or, if you would like to calculate the exact amount needed, 1 to 1.5 grams per kg of ideal body weight is usually recommended. Some medical professionals recommend that 1.5 grams per kg of ideal body weight be consumed for the first few months to a year post-op to prevent muscle and hair loss and promote better healing. The majority of this protein amount comes from protein shakes, because it is not possible to get it in otherwise. I have not found any protein pills that contain more than 1.5 grams of protein per pill, though most contain less than 1 gram. In that case, one would have to take at least 25 pills, maybe even up to 40 pills per day, to get the required amount of protein through that route. This is not feasible, as the pouch size does not allow for this many pills per day in addition to the required fluid intake, which is essential in preventing dehydration. There are many sites on the internet that sell protein shakes specifically for gastric bypass patients, and many of these will allow you to buy samples so that you can try all the different shakes and find the one you like without emptying your bank account in the process (paying upwards of $30 for a can of protein shake mix, then discovering that you can't stand it is not very profitable). For example, bariatriceating.com and vitalady.com both offer samples and have much helpful information regarding protein shakes. The closest I have seen to a pill is the New Whey protein shots that contain a whopping 42 grams of protein in only 3 oz. To conlcude this discussion, I am fairly sure that it is not possible to consume the required protein without protein shakes. The pills do not contain enough protein, and it is not possible to consume the required protein in a "regular" full liquid diet alone. Therefore, it would be advisable to just start looking for a protein shake that you like, because you will need it for a while.
Are African mango supplements better than other kinds?
I don't think they are any better or worse than other supplements on the market. After reading a few of the summaries I feel it depends on the strength of the pills made from the actual fruits or berries in questions which make these supplements more or less effective.

Can protein supplements build muscle mass?
AnswerThere are many different type of protein pills availible. The 2 most common are proteins derived from whey and beef liver. You can find protein pills at your local nutrition center (GNC, etc.). Most of these pills are designed to be taken in conjunction with a high protein diet. Your body (i.e. your muscles) will take full advantage of the proteins you get from lean meats and dairy products, so use these pills as a supplement. A word of warning: Many of these pills have high concentrations of B complex or B-12 vitamins. B-vitamin is a natural energy booster. So if you work out in the evening, you may want to avoid the supplements that have high B-vitamins. If you do work out in the evening, I would suggest taking one or two of the protein pills with dinner, 1-2 hours before you go lift.

None. Protein supplements will not help. The only way to help hair grow is to find out and correct why it is not growing (for example iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss) or to use topical Rogaine (available over the counter) or oral finasteride (available by prescription).
