Protein – The Denominator Normal to All Dietary Regimens

Written by Protica Research Staff Writer on January 26th, 2010

The human body is in a unceasing flux with the surroundings. Matter and molecules run in and out, casting themselves into its complexities. Though the body lends them structure, it is the intake — the diet — that decides its physique. To manage what goes in a diet is to decide what stays inside. Dietary decisions replicate an awareness of metabolism and the nutrients needed to adjust it. There may be a myriad of diets purported for each activity and disorder. Nonetheless, the one macronutrient that is consistently required, in significant amounts regardless of the physiological state, is protein.

Proteins hold this unique position in every diet for a selection of reasons. They link the DNA to the rest of the cell and adjust all cellular functions and responses. They are the scaffolds of the human body that struts a billion cells. Proteins are also the staff that reorder around the body relaying communication, executing repairs and digestion. Oxygen from the lungs and several nutrients from the stomach are protein full and taken to their destination. The motors in the muscles and the antibodies in the immune system are all proteins. If genes code exist in a helix of DNA, subsequently proteins are time in its decoded form. Their pervasiveness makes them central and, protein synthesis a main concern in metabolism.

Add to this myriad of functions the vast turnover swiftness of proteins, and continuous protein synthesis becomes indispensable. Every protein has a short time span and is soon rundown into its individual amino acids. New proteins are required to acquire their position. The skin itself is renewed every seven days. After that there are proteins that get used up, damaged or excreted, and need to be produced again. Protein synthesis goes on at a frenetic tempo stable in normal people. After that there are periods of fast growth, like athletes in training, teenagers, convalescent patients, babies, pregnant or lactating mothers, where protein synthesis reaches an all time high. Proteins are broken down for further reasons as well. In periods of stress, disease or starvation, the body just cannot find enough sources of energy. In such circumstances, proteins are taken apart into their component amino acids and are used as fuel. So, in every physiological states, cells are regularly at work, churning out new proteins.

To retain this obligatory and intense tempo of protein synthesis, the body requires a dedicated supply of amino acids. Regrettably, not like carbohydrates and fats that are stockpiled, the human body has no arrangement to store extra amino acids. The regular demand for proteins and amino acids has to be met anew each day and from three likely sources: cellular production, the diet, or breakdown of further body proteins. Of these, cellular production would be most convenient. If the cell could yield all the essential amino acids, there would be no compulsion to provide them in the diet. Yet, there are amino acids that truly cannot be created in the body. These \’mandatory amino acids\’ have got to come from the diet.

Proteins, from the diet or supplements, are the superior choice. The supply of all amino acids can be ensured and in sufficient quantities. Cellular metabolism is relieved of the responsibility to manufacture amino acids exclusive of producing negligible modification in the supply chain. Protein synthesis can go on perpetually. Unless the diet meets the perpetual demand for amino acids, further, somewhat expendable body proteins are damaged down to fill the requirement. In fact, a dietary insufficiency of proteins forces the body to feed on itself.

The need for proteins in every diet is undeniable. The ordinary American diet provides 1.2 g/kg of protein against the recommended daily allowance of 0.8 g/kg. The query, next, is whether to add protein supplements to an existing diet? Though proteins from food might seem ample, there is no telling whether all required amino acids are supplied, and there is little way of knowing how easily those proteins are digested and assimilated into the body. A conscientiously researched protein bullet like Profect, when delivered consistently, would remove such doubts.

Apart from supplying amino acids for protein synthesis, a high protein diet based on Profect has additional benefits. Studies on high-protein diets have demonstrated their capability to cause weight loss. A high-protein diet produces initial satiety and decreases the sum energy intake. Protein synthesis, an energy consuming manner, is promoted. The energy to take in such a diet, calculated as the \’Thermogenic effect of feeding\’, is high. More calories are burnt, more proteins are synthesized and the lean body mass grows although the body weight goes down. Brawn is exchanged for flab.

Proteins from Profect form bioactive peptides in the stomach that can improve stomach defenses. The harmful stomach bacteria are killed and habitual flora is allowed to colonize the intestinal lining. Profect too protects the system from unbound radicals, free electron molecules created during intense activity and stress. Unbound radicals are known to impair cell membranes. Their job in aging, cancer and blood clotting is being intensely investigated. Profect grows the levels of Glutathione, a liberated radical scavenger that cleans up unbound radicals shielding the cell from their effects. The added water-soluble vitamins and mineral in Profect inhibit the loss of calcium and other micronutrients seen on high-protein diets.

Protica Research (Protica, Inc.) is a nutritional research firm specializing in the development of Capsulized Foods. Protica manufactures Profect, IsoMetric, Pediagro, Fruitasia and more than 100 other brands, including Medicare-approved, whey protein drinks for bariatric patients.
