What should I take - Protein or Fundaminos? How much protein (grams) do I get with two scopes 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 ensure you meet your daily needs. FYI Our whole family uses PURECLEAN PERFORMANCE and CHOCOBERRY BLAST as part of our regular morning meal or added to UNBEETABREW for a PROTEIN boost. PURECLEAN PROTEIN provides key nutrients from the whole animal including both collagen non-essential amino acids such as glycine and proline found in connective tissue 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 almost 100% utilized for growth, repair and recovery. Hope that helps to clarify.

 

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 also precursors for proteins, nucleotides, and neurotransmitters. Some amino acids, like arginine and glycine, are considered conditionally essential during pregnancy, meaning that pregnant people need more of them to support their own health and the health of the fetus.

 

The key point is protein requirements go up significantly for pregnant women. A well formulated amino acid product will allow you to meet these needs. Other than that there is just fruit concentrates, natural favors and a bit of stevia.

I order from amazon. Your beet powder is great and i love it. It seems to increase in price every time I order it though. But I will keep buying. I ordered once from you but found I could get it cheaper from Amazon.
