Glossary

Column

Amino Acids - are the building blocks of protein. Your body is primarily made of protein.  And protein in turn, is made up of chains of amino acids What distinguishes all amino acids is that they all have a group, (amine group), made of 1 atom of nitrogen & 2 atoms of hydrogen. (NH2)

Free-Form Amino Acids - Individual amino acids that are  unattached to each other or anything else & therefore able to be immediately absorbed into the blood stream with no digestion necessary. Since, unlike proteins, free-form amino acids require absolutely no digestion, they can be absorbed by anyone no matter how old they may be or the condition of their digestive system.  Also, unlike proteins, free-form amino acids can be taken on an empty stomach such as right before a workout.  Whereas proteins have to have a mass of food sufficient to stimulate the release of digestive juices. This is why most protein supplements are presented as blender drinks.  Free-form amino acids are not to be confused with so-called "predigested protein." which is not really predigested but actually partially digested.

Negative nitrogen balance - The condition of excreting more amino acids & protein than one is taking in. This makes it difficult to maintain ones body since the body's tissues are mainly made of protein & amino acids which require constant maintenance & repair.

Precursors - the substance from which another substance is made.

Protein - Chains of some combination of the 20 so-called "proteogenic" amino acids. (proteogenic means to generate protein). In other words their are only 20  amino acids from which all proteins in all organic life both animal & vegetable are made. Not all 20 are in every protein, but nothing else but some portion of the 20 proteogenic amino acids in repetitive long chains often approx. 100,000 amino acids long are what all proteins in all life are made from.

Secretalogical cells - Cells that secrete hormones.

WHY IS Monti-Shake a Good Choice?
Monti-Shake is made from the highest quality ingredients and designed to provide nutritional support for those wishing a healthy, tasty low calorie - low sugar, supplement or meal replacement drink as part of a daily nutritional program. These ingredients provide necessary protein, carbohydrates and essential fats important for good health, and provide a healthy supplemental drink with a low glycemic index.

What IS a Low Glycemic Index?
The glycemic index categorizes food by their immediate effect on glucose (blood sugar) levels, measuring how much the blood sugar increases two to three hours after eating. Foods with high glycemic index are those high in many carbohydrates, such as potatoes, white bread and moist rice. They digest quickly - rising insulin and glucose levels, and may be a significant factor in obesity, since they give you a sudden rush of energy, but then rapidly cause low glucose levels, producing the feeling of extreme hunger and the desire to eat. This is a problem for diabetics, as well as those on a weight reduction plan. Monti-Shake has a low glycemic index, so you feel satisfied and fuller longer - without cravings and "hunger pangs".

Weight Reduction Support:
This nutritional drink provides necessary protein, carbohydrates and essential fats for those on a food restrictive program. It provides a satisfying meal that will help them feel full longer, maintain energy and help eliminate the craving and hunger derived from eating fattening snacks and foods that have a high glycemic index. The different flavors, plus the many possible varieties created by adding favorite fruits or tasty food extracts to the drink, create delicious and healthy choices.

The Elderly:
This formula is also very good for the elderly who need nutritional support. The older population tends to have poor nutrition, due to lack of desire and energy to prepare healthy meals. Monti-Shake provides a good supplemental meal with the protein, carbohydrates and essential fats needed to maintain energy and good health. It is easy to prepare and easy to digest, which is often a problem for the elderly who may have digestive problems. A vitamin-mineral supplement is also recommended daily to provide other necessary nutrients.

Athletes:
Body builders and athletes maintain rigorous and strenuous exercise regimens, which increase their nutritional requirements. Monti-Shake provides a healthy supplemental drink (with a high percentage of branched-chained amino acids), which can also be enhanced by adding other nutrients such as Montiff Super Sports formula, L-Glutamine, Montiff Super Sports Creatine, or foods such as fruits, to meet the athlete's individual training requirements. In addition, athletes should also take vitamins and minerals, such as Vita-Minz Plus and B-Long. Many other commercial drinks are often high in saturated fats, sugar, and chemical additives. Monti-Shake is made of the very highest quality, healthy ingredients.

Meal Replacement for Those Who Have a Busy Schedule:
Many people have very busy schedules, often skipping meals. The body needs nutrition to maintain energy and good health. Monti-Shake provides a quick, easy satisfying meal replacement to maintain a healthy diet. The ingredients of the Monti-Shake have a low glycemic index, enabling a full feeling, and helping to prevent the urge to have quick snacks with high sugar and saturated fat content - filled with "empty calories".

Monti-Shake is good for EVERYONE who would enjoy, and benefit by, a tasty healthy drink to supplement his or her dietary needs.

What Are the Benefits of Sunflower Oil?
The body requires essential fats, which are beneficial and necessary to provide energy and lubricate skin and joints. Fats are also precursors to prostaglandins, which are involved in hormone and metabolic function. Sunflower oil is polyunsaturated fat, and unlike saturated fats, may actually help lower cholesterol levels.

MONTI-SHAKE IS SIMPLE TO PREPARE - JUST 1 SCOOP MIXED IN WATER, FRUIT JUICE OR NON-FAT MILK (AS PREFERRED).
