The Latest and Greatest in Protein Supplementation

Holy crap.  It took me an entire week to get ready to go out of town for 4 days!  Every time we decide to go somewhere, I can't help but ask myself if it's really worth the effort it takes to leave.  Luckily, this time it was.  I went to Las Vegas with my husband for his company's annual convention.  Usually when I go, I spend the majority of the time hanging out by myself.  Which is fine.  In fact, often times I prefer that.  But for whatever reason, I decided to sit in on the meetings and presentations this year.  You guys, it was absolutely amazing.  His company (Visi Global) launched a protein product that literally blows everything else off the freaking planet.  And I'm not just saying that.  Really, I don't just use the products they offer because I can.  Actually, I only use 3 of the 7 they offer.  I'm a little picky about my supplements yo.

This new product I speak of is called Nufinna.

It's a collagen protein powder.  Why is collagen superior to whey or soy?  I'm glad you asked.  It's because of the level of absorbability.  See, protein structures are generally very large, which means that it's hard for them to get into your cells.  In fact, you don't actually absorb most of the protein you consume.  That's why it takes so much to be able to see a difference in your body.  But that's also tricky because you're dealing with calories too.  It's definitely possible to eat too many calories even if it comes from protein.  So lame, right?  But the collagen that's used in Nufinna protein powder and Probita protein chews is hydrolyzed.  That's a fancy way of saying that it's broken down into teeny tiny structures.  Tiny enough structures that your body can actually absorb 95% of it.  Let me show you how significant that is.  Here's a graph that shows the absorption percentages of commonly used protein supplements.

Um...yeah.  It's actually that awesome.  I've also been using Visi's collagen protein chews for about 6 months and I'm as much as totally convinced that it's a big part of what helped me lean out.

The new protein smoothie however, is a game changer.  Please trust me when I tell you that I would NOT promote a product on this blog that I didn't believe in and use myself.  Visi product or not, I will only preach to you about the stuff that I believe makes a difference and is worth trying.  And hey, if you really do want to try some without having to foot the bill, just say the word and I'll send a few packs your way.  Don't tell on me though.

Hydrolyzed collagen protein.  You don't have to take my word for it.  Do a little research and I think you'll agree with me that it's by FAR the best supplement you could add to your diet.

The trip was great, the information was even better.  Now, I'm not one to get all publicly mushy and sentimental about the man I'm married to, but I have to say that he was beyond brilliant.  I forget from one year to the next just how incredibly talented he is.  Proud is an understatement.  He was a freaking rock star!
