Formulated in a proprietary PhytoZyme™base of special herbs, synergistic phytonutrient co-factors and plant enzymes for bioavailability.

Protein-V™ is an unusual blend of natural plant source protein and complex carbohydrate. Protein-V contains high quality, soy-free protein from natural concentrated Legume vegetable sources with a high P.E.R. (Protein Efficiency Ratio). This ensures a high ratio of all eight essential amino acids. It also contains a scientifically determined thirty percent complex carbohydrate from barley malt extract, which contains many vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, enzymes and high quality soluble fiber. Protein-V is both dairy and soy-free, so persons with dairy and soy allergies can use it. The taste of Protein-V is more pleasant than soy-based products. Protein-V was first developed to supply protein, carbohydrate and energy for athletes. In addition, it can be used as a low calorie meal replacement when dieting, or as an excellent supplement in addition to regular meals. Both Protein-V and Protein-V 100™ can be used to fortify juices, milk and flour in baked goods such as breads and cookies.

PROTEIN-V
Everyone should start their day with a Protein-V shake at breakfast for more energy during the whole day. It tastes great and is convenient to use. Protein-V is not to be confused with traditional diet drinks since it is so much more. It does not contain simple sugars, coloring or flavoring agents like most all of them and it has a much broader range of application.

Suggested Use:
Mix two to four heaping tablespoonfuls in liquid as a high energy protein drink between meals, before or after exercise, or as a meal replacement.

Contains no preservatives, sugar, starch, salt, wheat, yeast, corn, milk, soy derivatives, artificial flavoring or coloring agents.

PROTEIN ASSURANCE
Protein-V is a highly nutritious supplement that provides the daily requirements of protein for lasting energy while at the same time supplying complex carbohydrates for more immediate energy. Because of the combination of both high quality protein and high quality complex carbohydrate, Protein-V is particularly suitable for use by athletes and those with high energy expenditure requirements. Protein-V, especially when taken with TMV-49™, is also suitable as a meal replacement for individuals on calorie restricted diets. It is ideal for adding to milk, juices or other foods, fortifying them with protein and complex carbohydrate. At the same time, it is relatively fat free and ensures adequate levels of high quality protein while minimizing fat intake. Because Protein-V is so easily digested, it is also excellent for fulfilling the nutrition requirements of both children and elderly individuals who have a tendency to not eat as they should.

SOY & DAIRY FREE
Protein-V is an unusual blend of natural plant source protein and complex carbohydrate that is both dairy and soy free. The high quality protein in Protein-V is obtained from natural Legume concentrates (Pisum Sativum) vegetable sources. It can be used freely by those individuals who have dairy and/or soy allergies. Plus, it is much better tasting than soy-based products.

Protein-V IS SPECIAL
Life Plus developed Protein-V to represent the state-of-the-art in protein supplements. We chose not to use any soy, milk or hydrolyzed protein. We were able to identify an excellent source of high quality vegetable protein, extracted for us from certain yellow peas under carefully controlled and monitored conditions. It contains a high percentage of essential amino acids.

All proteins are not created equal. Different proteins contain various amounts of essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot manufacture itself so they must be contained in the diet. Protein-V, with its high percentage of essential amino acids, is a leading product in its category. The P.E.R. or Protein Efficiency Ratio is a number that describes the quality of proteins. Protein-V has a very high P.E.R. of 2.7. Actually, Protein-V can supply the body's entire need for protein if enough were taken.

Protein-V also contains complex carbohydrates, those that scientists refer to as amylaceous polysaccharides, from specially grown barley processed in such a way as to protect its other beneficial natural ingredients. The inclusion of thirty percent complex carbohydrate in this great product is consistent with current research. This research demonstrates that excess protein on its own may have adverse effects, especially in the case of persons who have any tendency towards hypoglycemia. The benefits of protein/carbohydrate combinations are becoming well established. In addition, Protein-V contains good, soluble dietary fiber and provides substantial quantities of natural vitamins and minerals from the specially grown barley.

Protein-V is pleasantly palatable. It has a pleasant, somewhat bland taste, which is superior to other protein powders. Therefore, Protein-V is the finest and most versatile protein supplement in both palatability and composition. It is useful for fast energy and for building up energy reserves for people of all ages.

PHYTOZYME BASE
Protein-V is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from plants.

When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micro-nutrients contained in them.

HOW TO USE Protein-V
Protein-V is intended to be used in the form of a drink, although it can be used as an ingredient, which can be added to flour, baked goods and other cooked products. It can also be added to prepared foods such as dips, soups, sauces and gravies. For those wishing to gain weight we recommend that it be taken in the form of a shake at meal times in addition to your regular food. In the case of athletes, take in water or juice approximately one hour before exercise. As a meal replacement, use two or three heaping tablespoonfuls in skim milk or your favorite juice in place of the meal.
