FUNCTIONS AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

The plant-sourced protein blend in Ultra Protein Plus supplies essential amino acids as well as nutrients that support healthy muscle. Protein turnover in these systems is continuous and can be substantial. The dynamics of this constant degradation and resynthesis demand a daily supply of dietary protein and their constituent amino acids. Essential or indispensable dietary amino acids must be supplied by the diet, as they are not made de novo by the body. Recent analyses of people’s dietary protein needs suggest that age, stress, metabolic factors and activity level may influence protein requirements. Diets higher in protein and fiber have been associated with healthy weight management†, believed to be due to enhanced satiety and nutrient metabolism. Ultra Protein Plus can help satisfy the body’s need for not only the indispensable amino acids, but also for the essential nutrients needed for optimum structure and function of all the body’s systems.‡
