Nutrilite™

Protein Powder, 450 g.

DESCRIPTION

Proteins are the source of 11 nonessential and 9 essential amino acids. It should be emphasized that they both are equally important for protein metabolism.

There are two absolutely essential amino acids: lysine and threonine. They can under no circumstances be synthesized in the body. Other essential amino acids (7 of them: valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine) may be formed in various reactions, however, it does not play any role from the perspective of full support of metabolism. Therefore, if the intake of amino acids from food is insufficient, it will have a negative effect on normal development and functioning of the body.

Intake of essential and nonessential amino acids ensures the balance of synthesis and decomposition processes. The daily human need for protein is 9-14% of the total caloric intake, and total protein reserves in the body amount to 6 kg. Food provides (on average) from 25 to 60 g of protein, at the same time the digestive juices produce up to 17 g of their own proteins per day and with the rejected mucous cells of the gastrointestinal tract this number comes up to 70 g per a day. Proteins half-life is 21 days. There are no special protein repositories in the human body. Therefore, improper protein intake damages the balance resulting in predominance of decomposition processes over synthesis processes.
NUTRILITE™ Protein Powder provides vegetable protein in a powder form extracted from soy, wheat and peas. Our body is not able to preserve an excess of proteins, so they should be consumed daily to maintain a constant amount of protein at the level required by the human body to perform all its vital functions.

Protein powder is a high quality protein that ensures a balanced amount of nine essential amino acids. One dose (10 g) of the powder contains 8 g of protein.

Taking into account the concept of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, we can say that this product is a more balanced alternative to traditional protein sources such as red meat, cheese, eggs and rich milk.

Vegetarian diets, in the absence of this risk, are also characterized by intake of protein with low biological value.

FOOD SOURCES

Sources of complete protein containing a full set of essential amino acids are products of animal origin (milk, cottage cheese, cheese, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, and seafood). Their share in a daily diet should be at least 50%, however, the complete protein obtained from animal sources is often accompanied by additional quantities of saturated fat and cholesterol.

• Vegetable-based protein powder is a completely natural protein containing scarcely any fat.
• It provides a high-quality protein and contains a balanced amount of nine essential amino acids.
• One dose (10 g) of the powder contains 8 g of protein.
• Ingredients are extracted from natural protein sources: soy, wheat and peas.
• The powder can be added to food and drinks without altering their taste.
• No artificial coloring, flavoring and preserving agents.

From the Paleolithic Era to the Modern Age our consumption of protein has decreased from 37% to 20%, though today it is easier to hunt down protein-rich food; unlike our distant ancestors who hunted and fished, we can simply go to the store. Some consider this reduction to be the result of increased carbohydrate and fat consumption. Too many sweets and greasy foods, while the body is experiencing a shortage of its most important building block, including for muscles, protein.

This sort of unbalanced diet can overstimulate mTOR, a signal pathway that tracks the amount of animal protein, fat and sugars being consumed. The mTOR system triggers metabolic processes that can spiral out of control. This brings high blood pressure, uncontrolled cell pision, (benign and malignant tumors), premature aging and emotional burnout.

It is important to ensure not only sufficient amino acid intake but also a variety of protein sources.

How much peas, lentils, chickpeas, beans, legumes or nuts do you eat? How often do they end up on your plate?

Beans contain a large amount of plant protein. Despite the fact that each type of bean or grain on its own does not provide the full spectrum of amino acids, a combination of plant-based foods can make up a complete protein.

We considered this principal when making NUTRILITE™ Protein Powder, a food supplement from Amway. Thanks to a combination of pea, soy and wheat ingredients it contains all essential amino acids. The formula is as close as possible to the one recommended by the World Health Organization. NUTRILITE™ Protein Powder is superior to many whey proteins in terms of a balanced diet. It is made without soy isoflavones, and its formula contains only protein isolates (pure amino acids without other additives).

After eliminating protein deficiencies, it is easier to develop and stick to a diet regimen to increase muscle mass or lose weight. And at the same time you can recover immunity, normalize blood pressure and lower risk of sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass). Protein is necessary for the synthesis of hormones, enzymes, blood cells, transport molecules, muscle and skin cells. It is the foundation for your overall health.

Proteins give an ongoing feeling of fullness and are highly thermogenic. They drive up our metabolism and prevent overeating. Unlike animal protein, when taking this food supplement you won’t have to worry about excessive cholesterol and saturated fat acids that could impact your lipid profile.

An adult needs approximately 1 g of pure protein per kilogram of weight per day. In case of its deficiency, during weight correction or after an illness that number goes up to 1.4-1.6 g per kilogram.

Maintain your health, combine animal and plant-based proteins. Consume up to 20 g of protein powder as a shake, or add it to ground meat or sauces.

INGREDIENTS: SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, WHEAT PROTEIN, PEA PROTEIN, EMULSIFIER: SOYBEAN LECITHIN, FLOWING AGENT: SILICON DIOXIDE

Suggested usage

• The recommended daily dose of the powder is 2 tablespoons. The supplement can be either used as a cocktail or added to food or drinks.

The physiological need for protein for adults is the following: 0.8–0.9 g per kilogram of ideal body weight for women and 0.9–1.2 g per kilogram of ideal body weight for men.
The need for protein increases during periods of growth and development, pregnancy, recovery from injuries and severe diseases, and under intensive physical workload (hard work, sport).
