Voll Pro Bar

High quantity, High quality Protein blend from dual sources – Dairy (Whey protein concentrate, Whey protein isolate, Whey protein hydrolysate) & Plant (Pea protein isolate) with Glutamic acid and BCAA

Studies show it is lot healthier to go for dairy & plant proteins rather animal protein.

Blends of dairy & plant protein provide synergistic benefits – offer sufficient amino acid content, different digestion rates and longer aminoacidemia as compared to single source protein and thereby ensure optimal delivery of essential amino acids as per body’s varying requirements.

Whey protein being a complete protein – offering all Essential Amino Acids gets even better with its hydrolysed form included in the blend of concentrate & isolate. Whey Protein hydrolysate is an already broken down form for better bioavailability – easier to digest and deliver muscle-friendly protein to your body more quickly and that too without gas & bloating, as well as a speedier recovery post work out.

Pea proteins digest easily as they don’t contain lactose or glutens. It has a high bioavailability and owing to it is slow-release and anti-inflammatory properties, it is helpful in better muscle recovery.

Pea protein is nearly complete amino acid profile with exception of methionine.

Glutamic acid helps build immunity.

BCAAs help gain muscle mass and minimize protein breakdown during intense workouts and sport activities.

Prebiotic (Dietary Fiber): Fructooligosaccharide

Irregular bowel, poor gut health is on rise owing to too much use of packaged, processed, refined & polished food in diet. What goes in our gut affects us much more and in many more ways than we imagine.

Prebiotic Fiber though may not have nutritive value has more of a mechanical role – boosting healthy gut microbiota, regulating bowel movements, satiety and sugar & lipid profiles. They also help lower serum LDL cholesterol levels and helpful in weight loss and prevention of diabetes.

As per ICMR, for a 2000 kcal diet, intake of 40 g fiber is optimal, however some studies indicate a usual intake of only 28 g fiber in a day.

Probiotic: Lactobacilus acidophilus

It is lot more beneficial to take protein supplements with added probiotic. Probiotics are known to help with digestion of protein and carbohydrates through the action of digestive enzymes such as alkaline proteases, etc. so when you take them with the Whey Protein Isolate, they produce enzymes which increase the amount of whey protein available for absorption.

Besides, probiotics when taken with whey protein isolate (WPI) helps to increase the absorption of essential amino acids (EAA), which is needed to build muscles as you exercise or workout.

Not only that but when you take probiotics with WPI, it helps to increase your sports performance. This boost is due to the ability of probiotics to aid muscle recovery through gut modulation. Studies have shown that probiotics have a beneficial effect on muscle damage, performance, and recovery after a muscle-damaging exercise bout.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide helps improve skin appearance in those with acne.

Niacinamide seems to improve joint flexibility.

It might also help preventing the loss of insulin production in children and adults as well as improving blood sugar control.

Potassium iodide

Iodine is an essential mineral with a key role in maintaining health and function of thyroid gland which helps regulate growth and metabolism.

As per WHO, Iodine deficiency is the main cause of brain damage in childhood – resulting in impaired cognitive and motor development that affects a child’s performance at school. Iodine deficient people forfeit 15 IQ points.

Those following strict vegetarian and vegan diets are at increased risk of iodine deficiency – leading to fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, weight gain and even neck swelling.

Voll Pro is the only protein supplement having Potassium iodide added for required benefits. Potassium iodide is the same form of iodine used to iodize table salt.

Flax seed (Omega 3 source)

Flax seeds loaded with nutrients have been praised for centuries and now termed as superfood. They are ancient medicine and modern functional food ingredient. Rightly given the name `Linum usitatissimum’, it means “the most useful.”

For vegetarians who don’t eat fish, flaxseeds are the best source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid.

A Costa Rican study involving 3,638 people found that those who ate more ALA had a lower risk of heart attack than those who consumed less ALA. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18606916/

Also, a large review of 27 studies involving more than 250,000 people found that ALA was linked to a 14% lower risk of heart disease. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23076616/

Numerous studies have also linked ALA to a lower risk of stroke.

Alfalfa

When taken as a supplement, alfalfa is thought to be beneficial in treating diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, urinary tract infections, menstrual problems and many other health problems. Alfalfa is regarded as a plant-based galactagogue – it can stimulate breast milk production among women.

Because of its estrogenic effects, alfalfa should be avoided in people with hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast, prostate, cervical, or uterine cancers.
