    Aminolase: Protein Nutrition

      PROTEIN NUTRITION

      30 capsules $24.99
      90 capsules $69.99

      Worth every penny for anyone “training” and not just “working out!”

      Ideal for body builders, runners, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone with an active lifestyle, Aminolase represents a breakthrough in protein nutrition for those using protein supplements or meal replacements to help build or maintain healthy muscle mass and accelerate muscle recovery. Aminolase should be taken with protein rich foods and all protein supplements including the following: whey, milk, casein, soy, pea, rice and hemp. Protein supplements are one of the richest sources of all nine essential amino acids that the body is unable to produce on its own; however all protein must first be processed into a usable form, which includes essential amino acids and beneficial peptides (i.e., Di and Tri-peptides). To be effective, protein must be broken down into a smaller particle size within approximately 90 minutes of consumption. This transit time represents the time from which protein passes from the stomach through the small intestine where digestion/absorption primarily occurs; from there it will be assembled into muscle building protein (a bio-usable form). Undigested protein will simply be excreted from the body, resulting in increased kidney stress and wasted amino acids, essentially pouring your expensive protein supplement down the toilet.*

      Servings Per Container: 30
      Consume 1 capsule of Aminolase™ per 25 grams of protein. Aminolase capsules may also be opened and added directly to your favorite protein supplement, or taken with any protein rich meal.

      Serving Size: 1 capsule
      Amount Per Serving:
Aminolase TPA™ … 250mg
Acid Stable Protease Blend
      Other Ingredients: Cellulose (vegetarian capsules)
      Aminolase is free of dairy, gluten, and soy allergens. Contains no artificial colors or preservatives.

          Vegan, GF, Refined Sugar free
          Happily serves 4

          ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
          PANCAKES
          1 cup Cooked and smashed winter squash
          1/3 cup cashew cream or vegan cream cheese
          2 large eggs (or flax egg)
          1/2 cup coconut yogurt
          3/4 teaspoon sea salt
          A dash black pepper
          1 teaspoon baking powder
          1 cup all-purpose GF flour
          coconut oil for frying pan

          TO FINISH:
          Crispy Sage Brown Butter:
          2 to 3 tablespoons butter
          A pinch or two of salt
          A few fresh sage leaves

          In a large bowl, whisk squash, yogurt, eggs, cheese, salt, pepper and baking powder until smooth.
          Add flour and stir until just combined. Batter will be thick.

          Heat skillet medium-low to medium.  Coat the bottom with coconut oil, and spoon in pancake batter,  flatten the pancake slightly.
          Cook until golden brown underneath, flip and cook until golden brown.
          Lower your heat, if it’s cooking too fast. If you’re worried pancakes have not cooked in the center, you can finish them for 10 minutes in a 250 degrees oven.

          To finish, wipe out frying pan and add butter (or you can use coconut oil), a Dash of salt and sage leaves, heating over medium heat. The sage leaves will crisp and the butter will brown in a minute or two so keep a close watch on it. Pour leaves and butter over pancakes

          To roast squash: For butternut or kabocha, roast it face-down on an a baking sheet sprinkled with coarse salt at 375 for 40 to 50 minutes, until tender.

          Supplement of the Week: AR-ENCAP Joint support

          by

            AR-Encap
            Comprehensive joint support
            Thorne Research
            $46.90

            Bromelain, Meriva® (curcumin phytosome), and Boswellia help maintain a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body*
            Bromelain helps promote healing after trauma*
            Glucosamine and MSM provide proven joint support*
            Helps maintain healthy joint mobility*
            Can provide relief from occasional aches and soreness*

            AR-Encap is a comprehensive joint support formula that goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation.* This formula supplies 1, 500 mg of glucosamine sulfate (suggested use – 4 capsules twice daily), which is the amount used in the majority of studies – in combination with joint-supporting nutrients and botanicals.*
            In a study of healthy subjects with mild knee soreness, bromelain supplementation resulted in significant improvement with both 200-mg and 400-mg daily doses.1* Joint mobility was also improved.*
            Curcumin, the principal polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric, exerts antioxidant effects.* Curcumin Phytosome is a compound containing curcumin and phosphatidylcholine. This compound has significantly better absorption than ordinary curcumin and helps maintain a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.*
            Glucosamine provides significant joint support, as evidenced by numerous clinical studies. Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulfone and methyl sulfone, is an organic, sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in a variety of plants, and provides additional joint support.
            Boswellia appears to inhibit the activity of lipoxygenase enzymes, thus promoting a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.* A study of curcumin and boswellia found significant support of normal joint mobility in the group taking the botanical formula.2*
