Ultimate Protein Blend, 210 gram powder

Details about Ultimate Protein Blend

Ultimate Protein Blend is an improved protein blend with a unique composition to increase protein absorption. The product contains fermented whey supplemented with carefully selected dietary fibres and bacterial strains. Protein supports the regeneration of muscles and promotes the build-up of muscle mass after training. Protein is also beneficial in old age, as it helps to maintain muscle mass and strengthen bones. The naturally occurring calcium promotes digestion and strengthens bones.

Proteins: necessary for building and regenerating muscles and for healthy bones

Protein is the most important nutrient for gaining strength as an athlete and for good regeneration. For this reason, they form the main component of the Ultimate Protein Blend from Vitals. Each scoop contains up to 20 grams of milk whey protein, which is valued for its optimal amino acid profile. Whey protein contains high amounts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are made up of isoleucine, leucine and valine. Their branched chemical structure is unique and they are an essential component of the essential amino acids not produced by the body. It is therefore necessary to consume BCAAs either through the normal diet or through supplements. For athletes, these BCAAs are even more important.

Muscle tissue is largely made up of proteins, so an adequate intake of protein in the diet helps muscles to grow and increase in strength. Sport and other physical exertion are desirable for the muscles; they should then regenerate and grow beyond their original level. Proteins are essential for an optimal recovery process. What is less well known is that bones are also dependent on proteins. They are important for bone formation. Protein helps to maintain strong bones - an aspect that becomes increasingly important with age.

The power of fermented whey protein

Whey protein is known to be better absorbed compared to plant-based protein sources. In addition, improvement is always possible, especially for people who really give their all in sport. Ultimate Protein Blend has been designed to be optimally absorbed and easily digested. The basis of this Vitals product is a unique blend of fermented whey protein and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from milk, marketed under the brand name Biotis® Fermentis.

In Biotis® Fermentis, the whey is fermented by the world's best known and most thoroughly researched probiotic strain, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Fermentation by these lactic acid bacteria makes it easier for the digestive enzymes to digest whey proteins. This also improves absorbability. At the end of fermentation, the lactic acid bacteria are inactivated into postbiotics (components of microorganisms and their metabolic products), which remain in the end product.

Exceptional composition of pre-, pro- and postbiotics

Ultimate Protein Blend is also characterised by the addition of pre-, pro- and postbiotics. In addition to Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG as a postbiotic, Biotis® Fermentis also contains galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) as a prebiotic. These are soluble dietary fibres that are found in small quantities in breast milk and dairy products. Our digestive enzymes do not break them down, but microorganisms in our intestines (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) utilise GOS as nutrients. GOS is a thoroughly researched dietary fibre.

Ultimate Protein Blend is given the finishing touch by the addition of a live bacterial strain (probiotic). It is Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, known under the brand name BC30™ Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming lactic acid bacterium. It develops resistance to undesirable external influences such as heat and dryness by encapsulating itself. In this way, the biological activity of BC30™ is maintained over an exceptionally long period of time. This strain is also ideal as a supplement to a powdered product. BC30™ has been investigated in several studies with human volunteers. This bacterial strain, which is one of the few of its kind, was also tested in combination with protein powders. It became clear that BC30™ had a positive effect on the absorption of the protein powders analysed, among other things.

Cost-effective for digestion thanks to calcium: Milk is naturally a high-quality food source of the mineral calcium. This means that whey and other products made from milk also contain calcium in many cases. This also applies to Ultimate Protein Blend. This product also naturally contains calcium, which is particularly important for strong bones. It also supports good muscle function and energy metabolism. They all have the property that they are particularly attractive to athletes.

Calcium also has a lesser-known effect: it can aid digestion. Calcium is crucial for the activation of digestive enzymes. It ensures that these enzymes work correctly and digest nutrients efficiently so that they can be absorbed properly. Perfect for athletes as they don't want to be bothered by their stomach during exercise.

Natural and mild in taste, without flavourings or artificial sweeteners

Many sports products contain undesirable additives, including artificial sweeteners such as sucralose. As a result, they often have a very strong flavour. Not everyone likes that. Ultimate Protein Blend from Vitals contains no added flavourings or sweeteners. Due to the natural fermentation process, Ultimate Protein Blend has a fresh, slightly sour taste that goes very well with (drinking) yoghurt, milk or cottage cheese. If you wish, you can flavour your protein shake with fruit (juice) or another healthy additive of your choice.

Recommended dosage

Mix 1 level measuring spoon (30 grams) e.g. with (approx. 250 ml) drinking yoghurt or milk. Due to the natural fermentation process, Ultimate Protein Blend has a fresh, slightly sour flavour. Preferably use a shaker so that everything mixes well. One measuring spoon of 70 ml is included. Note: Fill the measuring spoon completely and then level off (the number 30 on the measuring spoon refers to millilitres, not grams). Suitable for vegetarians (not for vegans).
