Advantages over other proteins: ● No allergens. Protebio does not contain gluten, lactose or allergenic ingredients derived from egg, fish, soya, peanuts or other nuts . ● Practically null purine content. Purines are substances which can be found in foods such as meat, fish, soya... After being metabolized by the organism, purines become uric acid, and its excessive accumulation can cause various diseases. ● High fibre content. Fibre provides important benefits. For example, greater control over blood glucose (free blood glucose concentration). Fibre also takes part in the cholesterol and dietary fat’s absorption, thus decreasing the serum concentrations of cholesterol. ● Slow absorption proteins. This kind of proteins needs a more prolonged digestion process. Slow absorption proteins provide the metabolism with amino acids in a continuous way, necessary when the athlete will not take any food for hours. Therefore, the muscular catabolism is reduced. ● Very low fat content and low carbohydrate content. In addition, within its lipid profile, we can point out the unsaturated fatty acids: Omega 3, 6 and 9. ● High branched-chain amino acids content. The branched-chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine are indispensable for muscular synthesis and contribute to decrease the protein degradation after exercise. ● High L-Arginine content. This amino acid helps the formation of nitric oxide in the organism, thus contributing to increase the physical strength, endurance and fast growth of the muscular mass. L-Arginine favours the blood vessels dilation, which in turn, increases the blood flow, especially at muscular level. ● High Mineral and Vitamin content: Protebio contains high proportions of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Iron and Vitamins (Vitamin E). Calcium and Magnesium take part in muscular contraction and relaxation. Potassium regulates the water balance and the blood pressure. Vitamin E strengthens the immune system and has an important role in the metabolism. Besides, Protebio has a low Sodium content. 1

Proteins What are proteins for? Proteins main functions:
Growth functions: generation and repair of body tissues
Structural functions: proteins are part of muscular tissues
Metabolic and Regulatory functions Proteins are necessary for growth and repair of body tissues. Hence the importance of a right protein contribution in sports, since it contributes to the muscles development and the muscular recovery after great efforts. Proteins are part of tissues’ structure (muscles, sinews…). Proteins perform a lot of metabolic and regulatory functions, such as nutrient assimilation, transport of oxygen and blood fats, the neutralization of toxic substances, etc.
The quality of proteins The biological quality of a protein is measured according to: Capacity to provide human beings with all the essential amino acids.
Net protein contribution, which is how it can be assimilated by our organism so easily. 4

The amino acid’s profile Proteins are made up of amino acids. There are twenty protein amino acids, eight of which are essential for human life, since they must be present in nutrition; these are the so called essential amino acids. The rest of the amino acids are synthesized by the organism from the essential ones. If an essential amino acid is insufficient in the diet, this amino acid limits other amino acids being used to synthesize the protein.
Functioning of total amino acids:
Phenylalanine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Threonine
Essentials Essential for children
Assimilated by the organism
Tryptophan Valine Histidine Aspartic Acid Glutamic acid Alanine Arginine Carnitine Cystine Glycine

Sport and proteins The physical performance is directly related to nutrition. A sportsman who has an adequate food will obtain better results. Proteins’ main functions in sport activities:
Little involvement as energy contribution. Proteins only act as such when the carbohydrates and lipids reserves run out as a result of a diet not suitable for sport practice.
Proteins take part as enzymes in the metabolic reactions, also including the synthesis and the breakdown of carbohydrates, lipids, etc.
Protein deficiencies in the sport diet may cause: Decrease of the mental and body endurance capacity. Insufficient body proteins formation, with the consequent muscular wasting and muscle mass loss. Reduction of the enzymatic activity, thus implying a slowdown of the metabolic processes. Lower resistance to infections.

Protebio and sport practice ®
How should I take Protebio ? During training and physical exercise, a process called catabolism occurs. Catabolism consists of the destruction of muscular proteins. This process must be minimized by means of an adequate input of nutrients _mainly proteins_, which will reduce the catabolic process and will stimulate the reconstitution of the muscular proteins. If we bear in mind that an average input of recommended protein for a sportsman is 2g protein per kg/weight and, that an adult’s average weight is around 70 kg., the necessary daily intake of protein would be 140g approx. However, according to both the kind of sport activity and the intensity of the exercise, the recommended daily intake of protein may change. ®
Protebio can be taken as protein supplement. If we have a varied and balanced diet (by taking different protein foods: meat, fish, egg, dairy products, soya…) the Recommended Daily Dose of Protebio would be 1 bag of 35g or 3 tablespoonfuls (30g approx.) distributed in different intakes throughout the day and dissolved in juice, milk, yoghurts, etc. or by adding it to salads, creams, sauces…
®
In situations requiring a higher protein supplement, the intake of Protebio® could be up to 2 bags/day or 6 tablespoonfuls (60g approx.) distributed in different meals/intakes throughout the day.

as protein supplement in balanced diets

in high performance situations to get a larger protein contribution

When can I take Protebio? Due to its slow absorption and, in order to get a greater assimilation of proteins, the most recommendable moments to take Protebio are just before going to bed, between meals or several hours before practising sports. Thus, we get progressive amino acids assimilation. ®
As for its fibre contribution, Protebio provides stable blood glucose levels. ®
Protebio is organic Protebio comes from certified organic agriculture; it means that it does not contain pesticides residues and that has been raised respecting the environment. It should also be noted that, compared with other proteins, the environmental cost of Protebio is lower: ®
Protebio is a product obtained by means of natural extraction processes; these natural extraction processes contribute to the complete preservation of its excellent nutritional properties. ®
