Protein Powder
Remember when we were kids how they used to tell us: “You never outgrow your need for milk?” Well for us baby boomers, it would be even more appropriate to say: “We boomers never outgrow our need for protein!” And just why is that?

When you consider that protein is the main component of skin, muscle, hair, and nails, it becomes pretty self-evident why getting enough of this nutrient in our daily diet is so important. In fact, the word protein comes from the Greek word prota meaning “of first importance” and that should give you a hint of what nutritionists think of this important food component.

Unfortunately, many boomers aren’t getting enough of this vital nutrient and as a result they are paying a price for it in premature aging. But it is not difficult to consume adequate levels of protein once you know what foods are high in it. Best sources of protein are eggs, lean meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese, yogurt and some legumes particularly soybeans and lentils. Choose several servings a day from this food list and you should have your protein bases covered.

20 gms Of Protein Per Serving

We knew early on that for PROUD BOOMER to be a great product, it needed to have generous amounts of high quality protein. That’s why PROUD BOOMER contains 20 grams of the highest quality protein per serving.

Unfortunately, most protein powders on the market today contain some form of soybean protein – usually soy protein isolates. Companies take this route primarily because soy based proteins are much cheaper to use.

To be sure that PROUD BOOMER offers you the very best, we opted for a meticulously calculated blend of the finest milk proteins. Why milk proteins?

To be honest with you, we took a page from the bodybuilders’ diet manual. They discovered several years ago that whey protein and casein proteins derived from milk are about the best proteins they could use for building muscle. And so PROUD BOOMER contains a special blend of whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and calcium caseinate. After all, if it’s good enough for bodybuilders – it’s good enough for us boomers!

Some researchers have also suggested that blending high-quality milk proteins with all of their nutritional benefits may provide a synergistic benefit not experienced when individual proteins are taken alone.

Benefits Of Whey Protein

Whey and caseine are two major types of protein found in milk. Whey was originally isolated as a by-product of cheese production. It offers one of the highest quality sources of proteins you can use. Those in the know consider it to be the Cadillac of protein supplements.

Even though it is the most expensive protein source on the market, we felt that its benefits justified the price. Let’s take a look at some of those benefits:

  • Whole whey protein isolates contain approximately ten percent intact immunoglobulin proteins. These proteins have been shown to help support the body’s immune system.
  • Whey protein contains the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) of any protein source. BCAA’s play an integral part in muscle metabolism and help spare lean muscle tissue.
  • Whey proteins help increase the body’s natural production of glutathione – the body’s most important naturally occurring antioxidant.
  • Whey protein isolates contain quadrapeptides which have been shown to have pain killing effects.
  • Biological Value (BV) is a measure of how well proteins are utilized by the body. Due to its excellent amino acid profile, solubility, and digestibility, whey has a very high BV.

Benefits Of Casein Protein

Casein protein is also derived from milk and is the main component of the “curds and whey” combination produced in the cheese-making process. It has been used for many years in the supplements industry as a source of high-quality protein. Like whey, it too has some outstanding benefits:

  • Casein is digested very slowly thus helping to regulate (slow down) transit time of other proteins through the intestinal tract. This slowing of transit time helps increase the absorption of amino acids, peptides, and whole proteins. This helps to prevent lean tissue breakdown during sleep or between meals.
  • Casein is very high in the peptide form of the amino acid glutamine (20.5%) – higher than whey, soy, and eggs. High concentrations of this amino acid can help spare lean muscle tissue, something extremely important to us boomers.
  • *Casein contains high amounts of glucogenic aminos (threonine, glutamine, arginine). These aminos assist in glucose production for energy during exercise and other physical activities. Similar to glutamine, they also have been shown to slow down muscle breakdown.

So whether you take PROUD BOOMER first thing in the morning or later in the day, you can rest assured that you will be providing your body with plenty of the important high quality proteins it needs in its quest to stay young and healthy.
