Protica Protein Review

I am a woman of convenience and most often, willing to pay extra for it. With my busy lifestyle and ADHD, having something handy in my purse to eat that doesn't weigh down on my bad shoulders is absolute must!

I came across this product one day surfing the web, so I ordered a bunch of them, tried them out, fell in love and decided to let the world know what I think. My two favorite of the entire collection is the Profect and the Gems.

PROTICA PROFECT- 25g of protein per vial
Profect® protein beverage is indicated for a broad range of special medical needs. It is also used to support a healthy lifestyle. Profect is available in three sizes:

• 25 grams of protein in a ready-to-drink 2.9 fluid ounce vial
• 50 grams of protein in a ready-to-drink 3.4 fluid ounce vial
• 200 grams of protein in a 10 fluid ounce bottle




(1) For health and exercise enthusiasts, Profect conveniently provides 25 grams of protein, zero carbohydrates (no sugar), and zero fat in a ready-to-drink vial weighing less than three fluid ounces.

For medical patients with special protein needs, Profect provides critical nutrition. Profect may be administered orally or via feeding tube. Orally, it can be consumed by itself as a ready-to-drink beverage. It may also be mixed with other foods, beverages (any temperature), or supplements.

PROTICA PROTEIN GEMS
First and foremost, Protein Gems Gelatin snack are very very convenient. They don't take up much space; they are a mere 6 oz. I can keep up to 5 in my purse without it affecting my posture or hurting my shoulders. And I am not slinging around a purse lined with protein powder cos the container broke.

Secondly, this stuff tastes amazing... not much different than the original jello. It's a bit thicker and doesn't fall apart. And the cool thing is that they don't need to be kept chilled. The gelatin stays intact even in the Vegas summer heat.
Protein Gem™ protein snack is indicated for a broad range of special medical needs. It is also used to support a healthy lifestyle.

For health and exercise enthusiasts, Protein Gem conveniently provides 25 grams of protein, one full serving of fruit, five grams of prebiotic dietary fiber, zero carbohydrates (no sugar), and zero fat in a ready-to-eat six-ounce cup.

For medical patients with special protein needs, Protein Gem provides critical nutrition.

Protein Gem protein therapy is recommended for patients when high-density nutrition (i.e. maximum grams of protein per fluid ounce), low glycemic index, low allergen content, high bioavailability, or excellent palatability is a critical requirement.

Oftentimes, patients with special dietary requirements have difficulty consuming protein because they cannot tolerate the taste, the volume, the protein allergens, or the protein structure (eg. large or denatured protein molecules).

Protein Gem addresses these challenges by providing 25 grams of Actinase® in a ready-to-eat form. Actinase is an all-natural protein compound with the following characteristics:

Palatable
Actinase has a very neutral organoleptic profile (i.e. the characteristics related to the sense of taste and smell). Actinase also has a smooth texture. These features provide the foundation for the palatable flavors without the use of heavy flavorings or sweeteners.

Hypoallergenic
To understand how and why Actinase is hypoallergenic, a brief explanation of hydrolization is required. Actinase undergoes a process called enzymatic hydrolysis. This process breaks protein molecules into smaller units called peptides. The average molecular weight of the peptides in Actinase is 1,400 daltons ("dalton" is the unit of measurement for atomic weight). The human body can readily digest and absorb peptides, which is why they are also used in infant formulas. A byproduct of the hydrolization process is that many of the allergens typically found in proteins are removed.

Highly Bioavailable
Actinase is easy to digest because the protein molecules are enzymatically hydrolyzed to form peptides (i.e. small protein molecules). Peptides are easier for the body to digest and assimilate.

Concentrated
The molecular structure of Actinase is extremely dense, making Protein Gem the most concentrated protein gelatin snack on the market. Protein Gem provides more protein per ounce than any other protein snack. This unique characteristic allows patients to consume ample amounts of protein in a very small fluid volume (eg. 25 grams of protein in 6 fluid ounces).
