Whey Protein
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Roex Perfect Whey is a
scientifically engineered meal replacement formula designed to provide the body
with a concentrated source of protein
(plus amino acids) and over forty
essential vitamins, nutrients and cofactors which work synergistically to
stimulate protein synthesis. Protein is necessary for the production of skin,
hair, nails, muscles and bones, and for the manufacture of hormones, enzymes,
cellular messengers, nucleic acids, and immune system modulators. Without
adequate protein, your body cannot build the structures that make up your cells,
tissues, and organs, nor can it generate the biochemical substances it needs for
the cardiovascular function, muscle contraction, growth or healing. Roex's
Perfect Whey Meal Replacement contains the highest biological value of any
protein and is a safe and nutritious way to supplement your diet.

WHY ARE AMINO ACIDS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE BODY?
The body's major building material is protein and all body proteins are made
from amino acids. In fact, the word protein comes from the Greek word "Proteios"
which means "of prime importance". Protein is used in the body for
tissue growth and maintenance, growth of hair and nails, wound healing,
connective tissue, enzymes and hormones, immune system antibodies, the transport
of nutrients, fetal development, etc. If protein can be compared to a house,
amino acids would be the bricks with which the house is made.

The Roex Perfect Whey Meal Replacement is a high quality
protein formula that has an incredibly great taste. It is a low carbohydrate,
low sugar, low fat, low calorie, and a high protein drink. It mixes easily in
the fluid of your choice. Remember that if you mix the Roex Perfect Whey Meal
Replacement with fruit, juice or milk the calories will be increased. Also if
mixed with 7.5 ounces of milk you will add 8 to 9 grams of protein. The Roex
Perfect Whey Meal Replacement has been enhanced with enteric-coated vitamins and
minerals, whole food concentrates, digestive enzymes, other phytonutrients and
the herbal thermogenic Citrus Aurantium that helps you burn more calories.
The ion exchange whey, whey protein isolate and whey
hydrolysate (peptides and amino acids) help build a stronger, leaner and harder
body. In addition, the major and minor protein fractions of whey protein
enhances the immune system and provide a powerful amino acid profile that helps
to support your general health and also improves recovery from exercise.
The Roex Perfect Whey Meal Replacement has 43 grams of
protein per serving. The combined amount of all nine essential amino acids in
the Roex Perfect Whey Meal Replacement drink includes 15.59 grams, which is
47.31% of the total protein. Within the essential amino acid total includes 7.58
grams of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) which is 23.01% of the total
protein. Nine non-essential amino acids make up the remainder of protein with
17.36 grams, which is 52.69% of the total protein.
This nutritious high protein drink can be used in a number of
ways: to lose weight (fat), gain functional weight (lean mass), to assist in
exercise recovery, or to use as a "meal on the run" in the 21st
century pace of life. It can be used as a snack, exercise recovery drink, with a
meal or as a meal by itself.
NOTE : Do not use the Roex
Perfect Whey Meal Replacement as the only source of nutrition and eat at least
1200 calories per day. Furthermore, do not lose more than two pounds per week.
Health problems may occur with rapid weight loss. Make sure your daily solid
meals are healthy and your snacks include plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Cholesterol:
It is normal to have cholesterol and it is an important part
of a healthy body. It is used to form cell membranes, some hormones and other
needed tissues. However when cholesterol becomes too high it becomes a health
problem. A high a level of cholesterol in the blood is a major risk for coronary
heart disease and stroke.
Humans get cholesterol in two ways. Your body makes some of
it, and the rest comes from animal products that are eaten, such as meats,
poultry, fish, eggs, butter, cheese and whole milk. Food from plants like
fruits, vegetables and cereals do not have cholesterol. "
The American Heart Association recommends limiting dietary
cholesterol to no more than 300 mg daily. The 18 mg contained in one serving of
the Roex Perfect Whey Meal Replacement is 6% of the recommended daily
cholesterol of 300. The body manufactures about 80% of the total cholesterol
(70% in the liver and 10% in other tissues). Dietary intakes account for 20% of
the cholesterol levels. Reducing the dietary intake of cholesterol is
recommended as well as engaging in moderate to vigorous exercising for at least
30 minutes per day for 3 to 6 days per week.
Vitamin P:
Bioflavinoids are closely associated with Vitamin C, promote
its uptake, and act synergistically with it in all of its functions.
Bioflavinoids help to strengthen the capillaries and reduce the risk of
hemorrhaging. They also help to remove excess inorganic copper from the system.
Sources are lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and grapes.
PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid):
PABA is a B vitamin, and is part of the folic acid molecule.
PABA can be made by our intestinal bacteria, and is found in liver, brewer’s
yeast, wheat germ, whole grains, eggs, and molasses. PABA used as a sunscreen,
can protect against the development of sunburn and skin cancer from excess
ultraviolet light exposure. It is also important to hair pigment and intestinal
health. It aids bacteria in producing folic acid, it assists in the breakdown
and utilization of proteins, it aids in the formation of red blood cells, and as
mentioned above it has been used as a sunscreen. Indications of deficiency
include fatigue, irritability, depression, nervousness, constipation, headache,
digestive disorders, and graying hair. There is no RDA.
COPPER (Trace)
Copper is necessary for the absorption and utilization of
Iron. It is also part of the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Copper supplementation has been shown to increase SOD levels in humans. In
addition it helps oxidize Vitamin C and works with Vitamin C to form elastin,
which is a chief component of the elastin muscle fibers throughout the body. It
aids in the formation of red blood cells and helps proper bone formation and
maintenance.
Copper is needed to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP),
the energy the body runs on. Synthesis of some hormones requires copper, as does
the synthesis of collagen (the "glue" that holds connective tissue together). In
addition, the enzyme, tyrosinase, which plays a role in the production of skin
pigment, requires copper to function.
You get copper from seafood, organ meats, and legumes. It is
essential for oxygen transfer and iron metabolism.
The DV is 2 mg/day.
Choline:
Choline is very important in controlling fat and cholesterol
buildup in the body. It prevents fat from accumulating in the liver and
facilitates the movement of fats in and out of the cells. In addition it helps
regulate the kidneys, liver and gallbladder, is important for nerve transmission
and helps improve memory. Choline is found in soybeans, liver, oatmeal, cabbage,
and cauliflower.
Calcium:
Builds and maintains bones and teeth; regulates heart rhythm;
eases insomnia; helps regulate the passage of nutrients in and out of the cell
walls; assists in normal blood clotting; helps maintain proper nerve and muscle
function; lowers blood pressure; important to normal kidney function and has
been shown in current medical research to reduce the incidence of colon cancer
and reduces blood cholesterol levels.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Most
of it (99%) is located in the bones and teeth. Calcium is needed to form
bones and teeth and is also required for blood clotting, transmission of signals
in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The importance of calcium for preventing
osteoporosis is probably its most well-known role. Calcium plays at least some
minor role in lowering blood pressure.
Most dietary calcium comes from dairy products. Other good
sources include sardines, canned salmon, green leafy vegetables, and tofu.
Inositol:
Inositol is necessary for the formation of lecithin which
aids in the breakdown of fats. Also, it helps reduce blood cholesterol and helps
prevent thinning hair. In addition it is required for proper formation of cell
membranes. It affects nerve transmission and helps in transporting fats within
the body.
Nuts, beans, wheat and wheat bran, cantaloupe, and oranges are excellent
sources of Inositol.
