🧪 Formulation Notes

UltraMeal Advanced Protein is a medical food specially formulated to support the nutritional management of sarcopenia. This advanced formula features essential amino acids, including added leucine, to support the healthy aging and skeletal muscle and to help address sarcopenia, the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass.

Each serving provides 21 g of protein from a proprietary blend of pea and rice and amino acids. 10 g (of the total protein) consist of essential amino acids including 5 g of BCAA, which, combined with exercise, may help support muscle maintenance. Cocoa polyphenols support processes that contribute to healthy blood flow and vascular function. Additionally UltraMeal Advanced Protein contains 20+ essential vitamins and minerals - including calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF, a body-ready folate), methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) - to support protein synthesis and healthy metabolic function.

This product is non-GMO and gluten-free.
