Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Has anyone heard of the protein supplement proteinex? Anyone suggesting this product to patients? I just wanted to get peoples' thoughts about their liquid protein and if patients tolerate it. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, i am a dietitian from Venezuela, south America, and because our current problems, the only protein supplement we have is Proteinex, it works very good and I use it all the time with my patients…it is flavorless and you can mix it with soup, cereals, milk or yogurt… > > Has anyone heard of the protein supplement proteinex?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Proteinex is collagen-based, which means it is not a complete protein and is lacking essential amino acids. I understand that some countries might not have access to other options, but since we have many alternatives, we don't recommend any collagen-based protein supplements to our patients. > > > > Has anyone heard of the protein supplement proteinex?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Dana, I just noticed your post. Profect is also collagen-based. I've tried calling the company before and they won't even provide you with a PDCAAS. > > > > > > Has anyone heard of the protein supplement proteinex? Anyone suggesting this product to patients?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 If I have got it right proteinex is freely available in India but one scoop gives 25 Cal and only 1.25 gmof protein, hence not a very suitable one for post bariatric patients From: friesemas <friesemas@...>Subject: Protein Supplement Date: Thursday, 1 March, 2012, 8:47 PM Has anyone heard of the protein supplement proteinex?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Looking it up online 2 tablespoons of the regular proteinex is 60 calories and 15g PRO, and the preoteinex 18 is 72 calories with only 18 g PRO.
