Rice Protein: <\/strong>Easy to digest form of extracted rice protein. It has low amounts of the essential amino acid lysine, which means you have to eat other protein sources to make up for the deficiency.<\/p>\n

When replacing meals it\u2019s important to make sure to get a full well rounded amino acid profile. This is in order to prevent any health problems that can happen from missing important amino acids.<\/p>\n

Due to its rapid absorption, high amounts can lead to digestive problems such as flatulence, stomach discomfort, and diarrhea.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pea Protein: <\/strong>Legume protein made from peas, which is low in the amino acid Cysteine.<\/p>\n

This form of protein is known to have higher than average amounts of purines. This can potentially lead to issues such as gout.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isolated Soy Protein and Fermented Soy: <\/strong>Fermented soy is specially treated to be easier to digest, and it\u2019s not heavy on estrogen compounds.<\/p>\n

Isolated soy protein is a 90% protein by weight soybean extract. Though the soy in this formula is non-GMO; soy is still considered an inferior protein due to its potential side effects.<\/p>\n

Loma Linda University ran a study on soy protein showing that it had some problems:<\/p>\n

\u201csoy foods may increase the risk of developing clinical hypothyroidism\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Another study published in Pud Med adds:<\/p>\n

\u201csoy isolates may contain trypsin inhibitor activity as high has 40% of that found in raw soybeans\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trypsin inhibitors can limit the absorption of protein. So this can reduce the overall potency of the protein added to this meal replacement.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown how much this can reduce protein absorption, but this can limit the overall protein potency of this shake.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fructose: <\/strong>Fruit sugar that is considered one of the worst sweeteners available. A study featured in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that fructose:<\/p>\n

\u201creduced 24-h plasma insulin and leptin concentration and increased postprandial fasting triaclyglycerols\u2026 but it did not suppress circulating ghrelin, a major-appetite stimulating hormone\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So it actually raised hunger levels without satisfying appetite. This means you can eat large amounts of this ingredient and not feel full.<\/p>\n

This can potentially make weight gain easier. Fructose is also considered the worst sweetener due to its ability to potentially cause addiction, and tooth decay in large amounts.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guar Gum: <\/strong>Fiber and thickener taken from the guar plant. It\u2019s used as a laxative and as an appetite suppressant.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to take this ingredient with enough water to prevent blockages in the esophagus and intestines.<\/p>\n

Possible side effects from this ingredient include:<\/p>\n
