Labrada Nutrition's ProV-60 is an instant, multi-purpose
protein blend that provides both men and
women alike with a delicious, convenient way to get all of the
additional protein that their bodies need for today's active
lifestyles. ProV-60 is very high in protein and very low in
carbohydrates, so it can be used as
either a protein
supplement or as a
low-carb meal replacement.
Every scoop of ProV-60 provides 30 grams of Pro-V, a unique blend of
whey protein concentrates and isolates, egg albumin and caseinate.
ProV-60 can be used as a protein supplement to increase total protein
intake in your diet. To use ProV-60 as a protein supplement, just add
one scoop to 240ml of water, mix with a spoon and enjoy. ProV-60 has a
delicious, creamy taste that makes it easy for you to get protein
anytime, anywhere.
At higher doses, ProV60 can be used as a high protein meal
replacement. To use as a meal replacement, mix two scoops in 480ml of
water, stir and enjoy. Two scoops of ProV-60 provide 310 calories, 60
grams of protein and just 12 grams of carbohydrates, making ProV60
perfect for low carbohydrate and/or calorie-restricted diets.
ProV-60 enables the dieter to meet all of the body’s protein
needs without a lot of extra calories or the extra carbohydrates found
in other foods. Because Labrada Nutrition's ProV-60 is very low in
carbs and sugars, it is unlikely to raise the insulin levels of the user. The insulin
spike associated with the ingestion of a meal high in carbohydrates
(and/or refined sugars) can bring fat burning to a screeching halt.
This is not to say that ProV-60 will take the place of whole foods
entirely in the diet! On the contrary, any well-balanced fat-loss diet
should include plenty of low-calorie vegetables, fruits and an adequate
amount of starchy carbohydrates. When used in conjunction with a
well-planned nutritional program and exercise regimen, ProV-60 can be
an indispensable tool in helping you reduce body fat while supporting
muscle tissue.
Is the protein in ProV-60 better than standard whey protein? The
Pro-V protein blend in Labrada Nutrition's ProV-60 is formulated to
provide all of the essential amino acids
necessary to support muscular function in active people. Highly active
people subject their bodies to stress levels that are higher than those
of the average person. Recent scientific studies have shown that whey
protein is very rapidly digested and absorbed. The protein blend in
ProV-60 contains proteins that are more slowly absorbed than pure whey
proteins. These more slowly absorbed proteins increase digestion time.
The diet of the average person is too low in protein and too high in
refined carbohydrates and fats. In
a normal, healthy person, a higher intake of protein is beneficial.
Protein stimulates the metabolism
through its high thermic effect (the number of calories the body has to
expend in order to digest protein). Protein is also the only
macronutrient that contains nitrogen,
which is essential to muscle tissue repair and growth. Labrada
Nutrition recommend a total daily dietary protein intake of one gram of
protein per pound of body weight, for both men and women alike. The
total daily dietary protein intake as defined here would be the sum
total of all proteins you ingest daily from whole foods such as
chicken, fish and lean meats plus ProV-60. This total protein intake
should be spread out over 5 - 6 meals throughout the day. For instance,
if you weigh 150 lbs, you would need a serving of 30 grams of protein,
five times per day.
Does ProV-60 work well for women? Absolutely! In fact, it may work
better for women because of it's low carbohydrate content. Women have
more of a tendency to store extra carbohydrate calories as fat on the
hips and buttocks than men do, because of their hormonal and
biochemical make-up. The low carbohydrate content of ProV60 makes it
easy for a woman to more closely control her carbohydrate intake.
Labrada Nutrition's ProV-60 has been extensively taste-tested amongst
women and women agree that it is absolutely delicious.
