Did you know that proteins, which are made of amino acids, are the building blocks of all tissue in the human body? After water, protein makes up the bulk of our body weight. Our bodies need 20 amino acids to make all our necessary proteins. Nine out of the twenty amino acids must come from a food source or supplement
Protein deficiency in adults and children has been associated with hair loss, brittle hair, dermatitis, muscle weakness, cardiac disorders, and delayed wound healing. A balance of quality protein is essential to maintain health in adults and proper growth in children. However, not all protein supplements are a like. The source of a protein and its’ refined purity will help determine its quality.
FKC’s Response:
Scientists at FKC developed a protein supplement called Wonder Meal that is synergistically combined with other essential, natural ingredients. Wondermeal is a high quality (plant and whey) protein supplement because it contains all of the 20 amino acids needed by the body.
The many diverse uses of Wonder Meal make it unique. It is used as a protein supplement for adults, children, vegetarians and body builders needing more protein in their diets. It’s also used by individuals needing a weight loss supplement and even diabetics seeking to reduce their use of insulin by better balancing their blood sugar naturally (*under medical supervision).
In addition to protein the FKC scientists added Chromium Picolinate. Chromium Picolinate has shown to increase insulin sensitivity (requiring less), control blood glucose levels, and reduce weight gain and fat accumulation in the human body.
Protein for Weight Loss
Supplementing higher quantities of protein for meals will encourage the body to burn more body fat for energy supplementation. Obesity is found in approximately 55% of patients diagnosed with Type II diabetes.2 According to the 2007 statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), there are over 1.6 billion overweight adults in the world. That number is projected to grow by 40% over the next 10 years!
Protein to Build Muscles
Body builders must supplement larger quantities of protein to meet the demand of their growing muscle tissues or the body will “cannibalize” protein tissues from other areas in the body.
Protein to Help Balance Blood Sugar
Protein can also be instrumental in balancing our blood sugar and metabolism when used in combination with Chromium Picolinate. It has been used to better regulate Type II diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association, approximately 18.3% (8.6 million) Americans age 60 and older have diabetes. 1
