Description

SUPRO® XT12D-IP is the highest grade soy protein isolate manufactured from non GMO soy beans by Protein Technologies International.. It is manufactured by an extensive heat free process that uses water washing rather than alcohol washing, a process that carefully preserves the bioactive components of the soy protein such as isoflavones, vitamins and minerals.    It is the only soy protein isolate that guarantees a total isoflavone content of more than 2 mg total isoflavones per gram of protein, or 40 mg per 20 grams of protein.    Its amino acid profile exceeds FAO/WHO/UNU minimum recomendations for all essential amino acids for pre-school and school aged children as well as adults.

SUPRO® XT12D-IP isolated soy protein has the highest possible "Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score" (P.D.C.A.A.S.) equal to 1, equivalent to milk and eggs and better than beef. The PDCAAS is mandated by the FDA as the measure of protein digestibility.  SUPRO® XT12D-IP is very highly digestible, having a digestibility ratio of more than 97%, higher than all other proteins.  It can maintain positive nitrogen balance when fed as the sole protein at minimum intake levels.

SUPRO® XT12D-IP is fat, lactose and cholesterol free and contains several components including isoflavones (especially genistein), phytic acid, and protease inhibitors, which help lower cholesterol levels and to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Animal proteins cause significant hypercholesterolimia in test subjects, while test subjects fed diets of soy proteins had lower cholesterol levels. Genistein, the major soy isoflavone, also stimulates bone formation. Only 40 grams of isolated soy protein per day increases bone mineral content and density. SUPRO® XT12D-IP contains 13 mg of genestein per 20 grams of protein.  

Adequate protein is essential to support fitness training and hard physical labour. Protein requirements are based on total energy needs, body mass, type of activity, level of training, age, sex, and climate, temperature and altitude. Isolated soy protein has been proven to enhance athletic performance, especially when endurance and/or strength are critical factors. Exercise results in an increased oxidation rate for the branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine). The anabolic effect of training is influenced by adequate levels of testosterone, growth hormone and insulin in the blood. Arginine, lysine and ornithine may stimulate the release of testosterone, growth hormone or insulin and promote muscle development. SUPRO® XT12D-IP isolated soy protein is high in all these amino acids, surpassing casein, whey and egg protein. Soy protein is effective in maintaining positive nitrogen balance and normal biochemical parameters, especially important as part of a low calorie diet for weight loss.

Protein, however, is not the only macronutrient necessary for maintaining good health and for improving athletic performance.  Carbohydrates, essential fatty acids and dietary fibre also play essential roles. Most research indicates that dietary protein should make up between 15% and 30% of total calories, while carbohydrates should be between 50% and 70% and essential fats should make up between 15% and 20% of total calories (saturated fat should be as close to 0 as possible). Dietary fibre should be at least 12 grams per 1000 calories per day.

Protein levels of 30% of total calories is optimal only for the most advanced strength athletes involved in a rigorous training programme. For example, a 100 kg advanced body builder who consumes 5000 calories a day can use a maximum of 375 grams of protein a day. Any excess of this amount will be either burned as calories, excreted or stored as fat.  A moderately active athlete who consumes 3500 calories a day would need approximately 25% of total calories from protein or 220 grams of protein daily. On the other hand, the average individual who consumes 2400 calories a day, would require about 15% of total calories from protein, or 90 grams of protein daily.

On October 20th 1999, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it has approved for use a health claim for soy protein on food labels which states, "25 grams of soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease." Each 20 g serving of Ultimate Soya provides 17 g of soy protein.

• SUPRO® XT12D-IP isolated soy protein is the highest quality soy protein produced by Protein Technologies Ltd., the world leader in soy protein research and development.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP is water washed rather than alcohol washed, a process that carefully retains the bioactive components of the soy protein such as isoflavones, saponins, vitamins and minerals including calcium, zinc and iron.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP is an outstanding source of the highest quality protein, with PDCAA of 1, the highest possible score, which is equivalent to milk and egg protein and better than beef. Its Essential Amino Acid Profile closely meets human requirements.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP is very highly digestible, having a digestibility ratio of more than 97% higher than all other proteins. It can maintain positive nitrogen balance when fed as the sole protein source at minimum intake levels.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP provides a superior source of highly bioavailable calcium compared to whey or other animal proteins, containing 600 mg of calcium per 20 grams of protein.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP soy protein decreases urinary calcium losses, whereas whey and other animal proteins, due to their high methionine content, indirectly keeps the kidneys from reabsorbing calcium into the blood. Reduced excretion of calcium can enhance bone mineralization and promote normal muscle contractility, giving athletes a performance advantage.

Compared to whey protein

• SUPRO® XT12D-IP has 250% more arginine, the amino acid which plays a key role in stimulating the release of anabolic hormones that promote muscle formation, reduce physiological stress, and maintain a strong and healthy immune system.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP has 215% more glutamine, the amino acid that is the body's primary carrier of nitrogen to skeletal muscle and other tissues. Glutamine helps buffer lactic build-up in the blood tissues, boosts muscle protein activity, increases growth hormone activity and strengthens immune capacity.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP has 179% more of the "The Critical Cluster", the combination of BCAA's, Arginine and glutamine which is important to the serious athlete.
• SUPRO® XT12D-IP has 270% more iron, the mineral which helps prevent "Sports anaemia", the iron loss caused by intense training which can cause reduced capacity for excercise due to the crucial role of iron in both oxygen transport and utilization. Soy protein has also been shown in more than two hundred published scientific studies to:
  • decrease plasma cholesterol;
  • reduce the risk of Coronary Heart Disease;
  • reduce the risk of certain cancers;
  • reduce the risk of osteoporosis; and
  • decrease the load placed on the Kidne
