Clinical Applications
SLIM DOWN is a delicious functional food powder that is free of soy, dairy, fructose, and gluten.
Its 17 grams of protein per serving are derived from Pilates Pro’s proprietary Vegan Protein
Blend, a rice/pea protein blend with several additional amino acids that further enhance and
Maintain lean body mass. Among the ingredients in the heart-healthy proprietary fiber blend is a
prebiotic for gastrointestinal support.*
Discussion:
Vegan Protein Blend is Pilates Pro’s proprietary blend of pea protein isolate and rice protein concentrate,
L-glutamine, glycine, and taurine. Also added is Aminogen™—a patented, natural, plant-derived enzyme system
clinically proven to increase protein digestibility and amino acid absorption. Its action boosts nitrogen retention,aids in the synthesis of muscle mass and strength, and promotes deep muscle recovery.*
The non-genetically modified (non-GMO), highly digestible pea protein isolate in Vegan Protein Blend is naturally
obtained by simple water extraction, keeping all the nutritional qualities intact. Its 90% protein content features a well-balanced amino acid profile, including a high content of lysine, arginine, and branched-chain amino acids to help maintain lean body mass and reduce body fat.[2] Pea protein has the highest lysine concentration (7.2%)
of all vegetable-based proteins and the highest arginine concentration (8.7%) among all commercially available
proteins. The combination of pea protein and rice protein achieves an amino acid score of 100%.*
Fructose Free SLIM DOWN contains evaporated cane juice and stevia in place of fructose. Animal and human
research suggests that consuming fructose-containing beverages increases visceral adiposity.
Glutamine, crucial in nitrogen metabolism, is important for replenishing amino acid stores, especially after exercise or stress. This amino acid aids in intestinal cell proliferation, thereby preserving gut barrier function and intestinal
health.*
Glycine, an inhibitory (calming) neurotransmitter, is vital as a constituent of collagen and a building block for
other substances, such as coenzyme-A, nucleic acids, creatine phosphate, purines, bile, and other amino acids.*
Taurine, a derivative of sulfur-containing cysteine, has many healthful clinical applications, including the support
of stable cell membranes, cardiovascular health, glucose tolerance, detoxification, and bile salt synthesis.
Fiber Blend (inulin from non-GMO chicory, beta glucans, oat fiber, and corn bran) SLIM DOWN provides 6 g of
fiber per serving. These fibers favorably affect serum lipids, healthy intestinal flora, the formation of short-chain fatty acids, and glucose tolerance. Beta glucans and lignins impact the binding of bile acids and support the
maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Beta glucans may also offset stress
to the immune system caused by intense exercise.
Satisfaction: An Added Benefit of Increasing Protein Intake Signals that originate from the gut—in response to
mechanical (gastric distention) and chemical changes that occur after the ingestion of food—let us know when
we’ve had enough to eat. Among the macronutrients in food, proteins have been identified as having the
greatest impact in this regard. Thus, the effect of consuming high-protein foods has been observed not only to
yield a strong feeling of satisfaction immediately after intake but also to support a lower food intake during a
subsequent meal.
It is possible that not all proteins afford the same degree of satiety. Studies show that exposure to pea protein resulted in the release of the greatest amount of cholecystokinin(CCK) and glucagon-like peptide 1. These gastrointestinal hormones modulate appetite sensations.
INGREDIENTS: Vegan Protein Blend (Proprietary blend of pea protein isolate, rice protein concentrate, taurine, L-glutamine, and glycine), evaporated cane juice, fiber complex (inulin (from chicory), oat fiber, corn bran, beta-glucans), sunflower oil, natural flavors (no MSG), medium-chain triglycerides, potassium citrate, Aminogen®, xanthan gum, sodium citrate, guar gum, and stevia leaf extract.
