What it is
Metamyosyn Vpp Protein Blend is a proprietary mix of proteins designed to support muscle health. It typically combines whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, and sometimes other protein sources like soy or egg white. These proteins are processed to create a blend that offers a specific amino acid profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add this blend to foods to increase their protein content, aiding in muscle repair and satiety. It is commonly found in protein bars, shakes, and other sports nutrition products. The blend's texture and flavor profile are also considered in its formulation.
Health notes
Protein is an essential nutrient. The FDA considers protein sources in food generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated various protein sources. High protein intake is generally safe for healthy individuals, but excessive amounts may pose risks for those with certain health conditions, such as kidney disease. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intakes of protein blends.
Allergen info
This blend may contain or be derived from major allergens such as milk and soy, depending on the specific formulation. It is not derived from fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or sesame. Gluten-free status depends on the specific ingredients used and cross-contamination controls.
