Protein 101

The DNA and RNA inside our body’s 10 trillion cells build an amazing diversity of protein molecules according to genetic guidelines. Next to water, protein is the most abundant substance in the human body.1 Protein is an essential structural component for every type of body cell,2 including muscles, skin, bones, organs, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. There are also a variety of biologically active protein compounds in the body: enzymes,3 antibodies,4 hormones,5 neurotransmitters, lymph cells, cell-membrane receptors, and many more. Proteins are long chain molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur and phosphorus. To form protein molecules, these elements combine into amino acids which are joined by peptide bonds.6 When we eat protein, our digestive system breaks it down into the constituent amino acids, which are then used by the body to build protein molecules. Our bodies are constantly

Green Protein Alchemy and Elite Green Protein both contain nopal cactus leaf (prickly pear cactus) which has been used for centuries by Mexicans as a valuable food resource as well as in their traditional folk medicine for nopal’s nutritional beneficial properties mainly result from its high content in antioxidants (flavonoids, ascorbate), pigments (carotenoids, betalains), and phenolic acids.29 Betalains are water-soluble antioxidant molecules which contain the red-violet betacyanins and the yellow-orange betaxanthins, excellent radical scavengers with an antioxidant activity 3–4 times higher than ascorbic acid, rutin, and catechin.30 Nopal has been studied for its use as a functional food and prebiotic as it has been shown to be able to modify the gut microbiota, increase a known beneficial commensal bacterium which is a normal part of the gut’s ecosystem, Bacteroides fragilis, and for its supportive role in liver health.

Nopal has slow digesting fibers (mucilages, pectins) which create a sort of timed-release effect on the digesting of the protein and other nutrients in the formulas. The human body can only handle so much protein in one sitting so the timed-release-action increases the body’s potential to absorb more of the protein and associated nutrients. Proper protein intake is never about ingesting high volumes of protein that can end up equating to low absorption and high excretion rates (which just stress the liver and kidneys). Rather, protein and all nutritional and water intake are about proper absorption. Ingestion and absorption are two distinct, fundamentally different concepts. You are not so much what you eat per se but what you absorb, assimilate, and release.

Green Protein Alchemy and Elite Green Protein are over 50% protein (14 g and 13 g per serving, respectively), with the rest of the formula being comprised of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, power-packed phytonutrients, chlorophyll, supportive alkalizing greens, and seven digestive enzymes providing the cleanest fuel for every cell in your body which help to support health and optimum athletic performance.33-37 More importantly, the protein in the two algae are not only considered a complete protein, meaning they have all nine essential amino acids, but the algae protein comes in a naturally occurring predigested form making the amino acids super bioavailable38-40 taking this formula to a level way beyond anything else on the market. Effectively, Green Protein Alchemy and Elite Green Protein are an all-in-one food-based protein source and a green vegetable simultaneously making it the perfect protein supplement. This is a HealthForce SuperFoods® personal workout favorite.
