What should I take — Protein or FUNDAMINOS? How much protein do I get with two scoops of FUNDAMINOS?
Thanks for the question. PURECLEAN PROTEIN and FUNDAMINOS were designed to work in synergy to provide key amino acids for optimal health and performance. Think of PURECLEAN PROTEIN more as a food and FUNDAMINOS as a targeted protein boost to help you meet daily needs.
Our whole family uses PURECLEAN PROTEIN and CHOCOBERRY BLAST as part of a regular morning meal or added to UNBEETABREW for a protein boost. PURECLEAN PROTEIN provides nutrients from the whole animal, including collagen-rich non-essential amino acids such as glycine and proline and essential amino acids for protein synthesis. FUNDAMINOS provides a targeted EAA delivery for 40 grams of net protein per 2 scoops with almost zero calories. It is absorbed rapidly and is almost 100% utilized for growth, repair, and recovery.

Is FUNDAMINOS safe for pregnant women?
Essential amino acids play a vital role in fetal growth and development during pregnancy. They are used to build bones, cartilage, muscles, and skin, and are precursors for proteins, nucleotides, and neurotransmitters. Some amino acids, like arginine and glycine, can be conditionally essential during pregnancy.
The key point is that protein requirements rise significantly during pregnancy, and a well-formulated amino acid product can help meet these needs. FUNDAMINOS contains EAA plus fruit concentrates, natural flavors, and a small amount of stevia.
Do you have a birthday cake recipe using your unflavored protein?
PureClean Protein works well in baking because it adds structure and thickness. Choose a style you like, adjust sweetness to taste, and use real-food ingredients.
