Ultimate Protein Blend is an optimized protein blend, with a unique composition to improve protein absorption. It contains fermented whey supplemented with specially selected fibers and bacterial strains, and is a source of calcium. Proteins contribute to muscle recovery and stimulate muscle growth after exercise. Proteins are also beneficial for a healthy old age, because they are involved in the maintenance of muscle mass and strong bones. The naturally present calcium supports the bones and digestion. The ultimate blend for you!

This product is also available in a 210 gram jar.

Proteins: essential for muscle growth and recovery and for healthy bones
The most important nutrients for athletes to become stronger and recover well are proteins. These are also the main ingredient of Ultimate Protein Blend from Vitals. Each scoop contains no less than 20 grams of protein from whey, which is popular because of its optimal amino acid profile. Whey protein is rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) consisting of isoleucine, leucine and valine. These have a unique branched chemical structure and form an important part of the essential amino acids that the body cannot produce itself. BCAAs must therefore be taken in through food or supplements. These BCAAs are even more important for athletes.

Proteins are an important building block of muscle tissue. A sufficient intake of proteins with food ensures that muscles can grow and become stronger. Physical exertion (including sports) places a desirable load on the muscles, after which they recover to above the original level. Proteins are essential to guide this recovery process. It is less well known that bones also depend on proteins. These play an important role in bone formation. In this way, proteins contribute to maintaining strong bones, which becomes increasingly important as we get older.

Discover the power of fermented whey protein
Whey protein is known for its superior absorption compared to plant-based protein sources. But it can always be better, especially for people who are serious about sports. Ultimate Protein Blend was developed with the best possible absorption and digestibility in mind. The basis of this Vitals product is a unique combination of fermented whey protein with galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from milk, branded Biotis® Fermentis.

The whey in Biotis® Fermentis is fermented by the most well-known and best-researched probiotic strain in the world: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The fermentation process by this lactic acid bacteria ensures that the whey proteins can be more easily digested by digestive enzymes. This improves absorption. At the end of the fermentation process, the lactic acid bacteria are inactivated into so-called postbiotics (components of micro-organisms and their metabolic products), which remain part of the end product.

Unique combination of pre-, pro- and postbiotics
What makes Ultimate Protein Blend even more special is the presence of pre-, pro- and postbiotics. In addition to Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG as a postbiotic, Biotis® Fermentis contains galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) as a prebiotic. These are soluble fibers that also occur naturally in small quantities in breast milk and dairy products. These are not broken down by our digestive enzymes, but microorganisms (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) in our intestines can use GOS as a nutrient. GOS is a dietary fiber that has been extensively researched.

Ultimate Protein Blend is completed by the addition of a living bacterial strain (probiotic). This is Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, branded BC30™. Bacillus coagulans is a so-called spore-forming lactic acid bacterium. By encapsulating itself, it is resistant to unwanted external influences such as heat and dryness. This means that BC30™ retains its viability for an exceptionally long time. This makes this strain extremely suitable as an addition to a product in powder form. BC30™ has been studied in various human studies. As one of the few bacterial strains, specific studies have also been conducted into the combination with protein powders. These showed that BC30™ had a beneficial effect on the absorption of the protein powders studied, among other things.

Beneficial for digestion due to the presence of calcium
Milk is naturally a good source of the mineral calcium. This means that whey and other products made from milk often also contain calcium. Ultimate Protein Blend is also a source of naturally occurring calcium. We need calcium primarily for strong bones. It also contributes to the proper functioning of the muscles and promotes energy metabolism. All properties that make it extra interesting for athletes.

A lesser-known effect of calcium is that it has a beneficial effect on digestion. Calcium plays a crucial role in the activation of digestive enzymes. It helps these enzymes to continue to function properly and to digest nutrients efficiently so that they can be properly absorbed. Ideal for athletes, because you don't want to be distracted by your stomach during your sports performance.

Natural mild taste and free from flavours and artificial sweeteners
Many sports products are full of unwanted additives (including artificial sweeteners such as sucralose). As a result, they often have an overpowering taste. Not everyone is happy with that. Ultimate Protein Blend from Vitals does not contain any added aromas or sweeteners. Due to the natural fermentation process, Ultimate Protein Blend has a fresh, slightly sour taste, which makes it very easy to combine with, for example, (drinking) yoghurt, milk or cottage cheese. If desired, you can flavour your protein shake yourself with fruit (juice) or another healthy addition of your choice.

Easy to reseal stand-up pouch, fully recyclable
The stand-up pouch is specially made from one type of plastic, making it fully recyclable. And an innovative Velcro closure is used (also from the same type of plastic), so that you can close the bag very quickly after use. How convenient, no hassle with the closure!
