It is a wholesome alternative for individuals seeking to maintain robust energy levels, enhance their workout, or simply maintain overall health and wellness. This unique, fructose-free formula contains the same micronutrient profile (different dosages) found in Meno Clinic Center for Functional Medicine’s MultiMax, along with supplemental methylcobalamin (activated vitamin B12) and whole coffee fruit standardized to chlorogenic acid. ProteinPlus features Vegan Protein Blend, a non-GMO, pea-based protein; Immune Blend, a bovine-derived immunoglobulin concentrate; truebroc®, glucoraphanin from broccoli seed extract; and arabinogalactan, a prebiotic. ProteinPlus provides 80 mg of caffeine per serving.†

ProteinPlus is an innovative and healthy way to add protein, micronutrients, immunoglobulins, and fiber to your daily routine. This nutritious and delicious shake provides antioxidant, detoxification, and energy support. It can be part of a healthy and energizing breakfast, a great pre-workout shake, or a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon. ProteinPlus is a nutrient-rich alternative to common energy drinks.*

Vegan Protein Blend Compay Name’s proprietary blend of pea protein concentrate, pea protein isolate, taurine, rice protein concentrate, L-glutamine, and glycine provides 18 g of plant-based protein per serving of ProteinPlus. Vegan Protein Blend is easily digested, is gluten-free, and achieves an amino acid score of 100%.[1,2] This amino acid profile supports protein metabolism and lean body mass. Aminogen® enhances protein digestibility and absorption.*

Coffee Fruit Extract and Green Coffee Bean Extract Blend ProteinPlus contains a propriety blend of KonaRed® coffee fruit extract, green coffee bean extract, and caffeine anhydrous. Hawaiian KonaRed coffee fruit extract is a natural source of chlorogenic acids and their derivatives quinic acid and ferulic acid.[3] Chlorogenic acids from green coffee bean extract are readily metabolized by humans and have been researched specifically for their positive effects on cytokine balance and antioxidant support.[4,5] Animal and human studies suggest that these chlorogenic acids can be used safely and help maintain vasoreactivity and blood pressure already within the normal range.*[6-8]

MultiMax The USDA Dietary Guidelines suggest that dietary supplements can help fulfill our micronutrient needs.[9] The balanced array of vitamins, minerals, and cofactors in ProteinPlus provides a micronutrient foundation that helps support healthy energy production and metabolism.[10] MultiMax delivers highly bioavailable micronutrients, such as Albion® TRAACS® minerals (the real amino acid chelate system), natural-source vitamin E as mixed tocopherols, and activated B vitamins, including 5-methyltetrahydrofolate as Quatrefolic®.*[11]

Immune Blend is an immunoglobulin concentrate from colostral whey peptides that delivers a minimum of 40% IgG immunoglobulin along with an array of compounds, including growth factors, sialic acid, lactoferrin, proline-rich peptides (PRPs), oligosaccharides, and gangliosides. Each of these components provides the user with different and complementary health benefits, such as fundamental support of immune function and modulation, lean body mass, brain and thymus health, microbiota modulation, and cytokine balance.*[12]

Oral consumption of immunoglobulins derived from colostrum is a means of supporting passive immunity, protecting the body, and eliminating unwanted molecules.[13-16] The most versatile, IgG, is capable of carrying out all of the functions of immunoglobulin molecules, accounting for Immune Blend’s broad range of immune-supportive effects.[17] Review of the research confirms that bovine colostrum supplementation confers other benefits, such as the maintenance of gastrointestinal integrity.[18-20] Oral immunoglobulins have been used in sports nutrition to support lean body mass,[21] physical exercise, and recovery following high-intensity training. [18,22] The 2.5 grams of immunoglobulins in each serving of ProteinPlus contribute to individual dosing requirements.*

Cell Support (glucoraphanin) This patented plant-based ingredient, also known as sulforaphane glucosinolate, is extracted from one of its most concentrated cruciferous sources—broccoli seeds.[23] An abundance of research demonstrates that when glucoraphanin is broken down to its active form, sulforaphane, it safely and effectively upregulates the body’s natural phase II detoxification enzymes.[24-26] This activity in turn supports antioxidant activity and helps protect cells, cell membranes, and tissues from free-radical damage.*

Arabinogalactan Sourced from the larch tree, arabinogalactan is considered an excellent source of fiber, a prebiotic, and a precursor to short-chain fatty acids, all elements that help support gastrointestinal health.*[27,28]
