Product Detail: Ultra Protein Plus (Vanilla Bean), Douglas Labs
 |
|
 Protein supplement beverage (Vanilla Bean)
Ultra Protein Plus powder, provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, can be reconstituted into a delicious,
vanilla bean flavored, nutritionally fortified protein
drink that is a rich source of all the indispensable
amino acids essential to health, as well as 25% of the
nutrition provided by Douglas Laboratories’ Ultra
Preventive® III, a multi-vitamin/mineral dietary
supplement. Ultra Protein Plus’s source of protein is
from yellow peas, a low allergenic source that
contains no genetically modified plant tissue and is
pesticide, lactose and gluten free. Ultra Protein Plus
beverage powder also provides a significant amount
of the prebiotic fructooligosaccharide (FOS).
FUNCTIONS
The dietary protein provided by Ultra Protein Plus supplies
essential amino acids that participate in all of the body’s
metabolic and physiologic systems including the intestine,
skeletal muscle, and the cardiovascular, nervous, and
immune systems. 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 the dietary protein needs of people
suggest that age and activity level may influence protein
requirement for optimum health. For example, elderly adults
may have a significantly higher protein requirement than that
of young adults. This requirement may be as high as 1.0 g
protein per kg body weight per day, or 25% more than that
suggested for a young adult.
This higher requirement may
derive from a lower efficiency of protein utilization in
advancing age, despite the associated decrease in muscle
mass. Failure to meet these increased protein needs may
negatively affect an individual’s immuno-competence and
recovery from medical complications. Some scientists have also suggested that increased protein
synthesis follows prolonged exercise. Athletes competing
in body building or endurance sports may require
significantly more protein that the normal requirement.
Ultra Protein Plus contains BeFlora Plus , a prebiotic
soluble dietary fiber fructooligosaccharide (FOS). This
dietary fiber passes through the small intestine into the
colon without being digested or absorbed. Once in the
colon, FOS selectively supports healthy levels of
beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and
Bifidobacteria, and other gram-positive, acid-producing
bacteria.
This in turn creates a slightly acidic environment
in the colon that is inhospitable to potentially harmful
bacteria and other microorganisms, such as E. coli, and
Clostridium species.
Douglas Laboratories’ 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.

Ultra Protein Plus powder is a healthful nutritionally
fortified protein supplement for individuals who wish
to increase their intake of protein, essential nutrients,
and prebiotics in the form of a delicious beverage.
