To ensure optimum digestion of the protein our researchers made use of the highly effective Digezyme® enzyme complex. This powerful enzyme complex helps digest and assimilate all 40 grams of the protein blend. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, Lactospore® pro-biotics are added to help maintain the optimum balance of your whole digestive system! Progen is a Proven Aid in Fat Loss Recent ground breaking research on the exciting fatty acid called Conjugated Linoleic Acid has fed our researchers obsession in finding the ultimate long term fat loss ingredient which is proven to work and be of utmost safety. A recent study(1) reveals that CLA actually increase lean mass whilst also decreasing body fat levels.The CLA used in this study was highly concentrated and standardised for isomers c9,t11 and t10,c12, these are the two isolated fatty acids that are proven beyond doubt to build lean tissue and lower body fat levels. The ultimate achievement for our research team has been the ability to secure the use of this particular fatty acid and include it in Progen; you will find 1000mgs of standardised CLA in each serving. Yet More Research Shows Progen Can Increase Muscle Mass & Reduce Body Fat. Our research team will stop at nothing to ensure that you get the latest advances in sports nutrition. They want to ensure that your training will become more productive, they want your body fat levels to become lower and they want your immune system to become stronger than ever before. They have uncovered an interesting study: There is an expensive nutrient called N-Acetyl-Cysteine, an amino acid peptide, often sold as a very powerful anti-oxidant which has now been proven to be beneficial to intense training individuals. Its an exciting discovery, a randomised double blind study(2) of 46 athletic men were subjected to a 4 week training programme to assess the effects of NAC. Here is exactly what was concluded from the study: - Those NOT using NAC lost lean mass and gained body fat. - Subjects USING NAC maintained lean mass and LOST body fat. - Low plasma Cysteine levels are a risk factor for your hard earned muscle. Conclusion; supplementing with 200mg of NAC can prevent loss of muscle tissue and aid in fat loss. Yet More Nutrients You're Unlikely to find in a Standard Meal Replacement.

It's the extra nutrients in Progen like Zinc, Magnesium, MSM, Vitamin C, natural Vitamin E and Chromium which make an already revolutionary product truly superb. And if that were't enough we have also added the patented bioavailability enhancer Bioperine® to the equation. The result ? Better absorption, assimilation and utilization of every single nutrient found in new Progen.
