Why Quality is Essential

There are two kinds of quality that UNJURY delivers that are essential:

• INGREDIENT Quality
• PROTEIN Quality

INGREDIENT Quality

The amount of protein you get in “Whey Protein” ingredients can vary widely. Whey Protein Concentrate is different from Whey Protein Isolate which is used in UNJURY.

	Whey Protein Isolate (UNJURY uses only WPI)	Whey Protein Concentrate
Protein	90% or more	25% to 80%
Lactose*	Less than 0.5%	Sometimes 8% or as high as 53%

*Note: Lactose can cause digestive upset

Your body needs protein, not lactose. When you buy UNJURY, you are getting highly concentrated protein. Whey Protein Isolate also tastes better. In contrast, products that use Whey Protein Concentrate can taste chalky, gritty and have an aftertaste.

In addition, a product that is higher in lactose can cause stomach upset. We have many customers who are lactose intolerant who do very well with Unjury.

PROTEIN Quality

Not all protein has the same value to your body. In fact, for the most important use of protein – building and replacing cells – some proteins get a score of zero.

The reason for the difference among proteins is different amino acid profiles. Proteins are made of amino acids, and there are 20 different ones in the human body. Of the twenty, 9 of them must be consumed to meet your daily needs. These 9 amino acids are called Essential or Indispensable. We’ll call them “EAAs”.

You need the 9 EAAs in certain proportions, and so there is a protein scoring system called Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Scoring (PDCAAS). It is supported by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the World Health Organization.

How much difference is there among proteins? As an example, let’s look at PDCAAS scores of two different kinds of protein:
-- Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein gets a 0 (the lowest possible score)
-- The Whey Protein Isolate in UNJURY gets 100 (the highest possible score)

A protein with a zero PDCAAS score, alone, is of little help to your body in building and maintaining cells. In contrast, the Whey Protein Isolate in UNJURY provides unsurpassed support to your body.
