It was 20 years ago.. From what I remember at the time there was a choice of powdered "animal" or "vegetable" proteins. It was in a large round plastic container with a screw on cap the full diameter of the container. There was a list of all the different proteins on the label on the front. I believe we got it at the pharmacy. We bought the vegetable protein for her. When she was feeling a little better, she started to kid that she was being fed "vegetable" proteins (*for* vegetables-not "made" of vegetables).
