Product IndicationsProduct Indications

Allergies

Individuals susceptible to immunologic responses to ingested

protein antigens avoid a variety of protein sources including

dairy, soy, eggs, fi sh and peanuts. These restrictions can

severely limit an individual’s ability to source protein with all

essential amino acids and a reduced allergen content. Profect

is a hypoallergenic protein source containing all essential

amino acids and is therefore indicated for these individuals.

Anorexia and bulimia

Patients suffering from the eating disorder anorexia or bulimia

are faced with macronutrient defi ciencies, especially protein.

Increased dietary intake is a primary protocol. As part of an

overall nutritional therapy, Profect is indicated to increase

serum protein levels, to support normal metabolism and to aid

in the body’s ability to rebuild lost tissues due to catabolism.

Bariatric surgery

Profect is indicated for pre-operative, post-operative and

long-term protein supplementation. Requirements for bariatric

patients include high assimilation ratio, nutrient density, and

palatable taste. A single, 2.9 ounce vial of Profect provides 25

grams of protein, as well as the complete spectrum of water-

soluble vitamins. This protein-to-volume ratio exceeds the

needs of bariatric patients. Profect also provides exceptional

taste and texture, and 100% of the protein is pre-digested via

enzymatic hydrolysis, thereby increasing the opportunity for

absorption and assimilation.

Burn There is massive protein loss from a burn site, along with

increased vascular permeability and decreased albumin

synthesis. In cases where burn patients may have diffi culty

tolerating voluminous levels of food, Profect is indicated.

Cancer

Patients in advanced stages of cancer exhibit nutritional

depletion and severe body wasting (cachexia). Adequate

nutrition is diffi cult to achieve through conventional diet therapy.

Supplemental nutrition such as naso-gastric tube feeding

and hyperalimentation are effective short-term, force-feeding

regimens. However, alternate and long-term regimens may

include a nutritionally dense, palatable supplement wherein the

low molecular weight may not tax the liver or kidneys. Profect is

indicated for these scenarios.

Congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema

Patients with congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema,

hydrocephalus and compartment syndrome have fl uid

restrictions. For these patients, excessive amounts of fl uid

intake cause serious conditions such as breathing diffi culties,

swelling, increased blood pressure and cardiac problems.

Profect is indicated where fl uid restriction jeopardizes the

patient’s ability to intake adequate protein.

Diabetes

Profect is indicated for diabetics in need of protein and/or

vitamins without risk of impacting serum blood sugar levels.

Profect is a low glycemic product. It contains zero sugar (zero

carbohydrates) and will not cause a signifi cant rise in serum

blood sugar.

Profect protein therapy is indicated for a broad range of special medical needs. Profect may be administered orally or via feeding tube. Orally, Profect can be consumed by itself as a ready-to-drink beverage. It can also be mixed with other foods, beverages, or supplements. Profect is recommended for patients when high-density nutrition (i.e., maximum grams of protein per fl uid ounce), low glycemic index, low allergen content, high bioavailability, or excellent palatability is a critical requirement. Gastric bypass, burn, malnutrition, diabetic and other patients are successfully integrating Profect into their dietary regimens.

Typical Analysis Results

Specifi cations Benefi ts

6


7


Immunodefi ciency

Wasting syndrome, nutrient defi ciencies, and metabolic

complications are generally seen in immunodefi ciency

patients. Among other protocol, highly absorbable protein

supplementation is needed to address these conditions.

However, a lack of appetite or an inability to tolerate many

‘tastes’ and ‘mouth-feels’ may reduce the patient’s desire to

eat. Profect is indicated to address these needs and challenges

of immunodefi ciency patients.

Kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition)

Protein malnutrition is oftentimes symptomatic of another

disease. However, according to a U.S. government study,

as many as 50% of elderly persons in U.S. nursing homes

suffer from protein malnutrition.1 Patients suffering from

protein malnutrition may be challenged with protein intake

or protein absorption. The protein-to-volume ratio and small

molecular weight2 of Profect are indicated for both scenarios,

respectively.

Mouth surgery

Post-operative mouth surgery patients may be placed on

a liquid-only diet, thereby temporarily altering their eating

patterns. These patients are challenged with integrating

palatable, digestible liquid proteins into their dietary regimens.

Profect is indicated where high nutrient density and exceptional

palatability are desired.

Pregnancy and nursing

Pregnant and lactating women have protein requirements that

are 30% to 40% higher than normal adults. Low protein intake

may cause a decrease in milk production and depletion of

protein stores. Profect is indicated when an advanced protein

supplement is required.

Pressure ulcers

Studies have linked pressure ulcers and bed sores to

malnutrition.3 Patients need adequate levels of protein, vitamins,

and minerals to support healing. According to the Agency for

Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), patients with

pressure ulcers need 1.25 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram

of body weight daily. Pressure ulcer patients may be unable to

eat on their own, or unable to tolerate the organoleptic qualities

of conventional food – especially those rich in protein. Profect

is indicated for pressure ulcers, stages I through IV.

Renal disease

Profect is indicated as part of a comprehensive care plan for

acute and chronic kidney failure. The combination of protein

malnourishment and fl uid restrictions call for a protein protocol

that delivers highly bioavailable protein in a small fl uid volume.

Additionally, a low molecular weight protein may reduce the

stress applied to the affected organs.

Stress due to injury or infection

During severe injury or infection, an overall metabolic

response occurs that results in a loss of lean body mass.

A report published by the Food and Nutrition Technical

Assistance (FANTA) suggests a 50-100% increase in protein

needs as part of an overall treatment protocol for patients with

injury or infection. There are several reasons for this, including

increased energy requirements, decreased protein source from

gut turnover, malabsorption, and increased protein turnover.

Profect is indicated for the preservation and restoration of

protein stores and body tissues, as well as for the support of

protein-dependent biochemical functions.

Wound healing

Patients recovering from wounds have relatively higher

requirements for protein. The combination of stress response

and trauma, caused by physical accidents or surgery,

necessitates relatively higher requirements for protein intake to

achieve a positive nitrogen balance. Profect is recommended

when protein supplementation is indicated.

I absolutely love your product! I am a chemotherapy patient, and I am often nauseated after my treatments. I am so thankful to have found your product. Profect delivers the critical nutrients and protein my body so desperately needs. Many people say beat-ing cancer requires a positive attitude, and Profect has given me confi dence in my nutritional regime. Thank you for this amazing product! Thank you, thank you!!! Brian Mercer, Rhode Island

A lot of protein for a small amount of liquid! I am much healthier. Brenda Hakes, Indiana

A friend told me about Profect during a very diffi cult time in my life. My 8 yr-old daughter, Amanda, was admitted to the hospital with a severe staph infection. She was very ill, losing weight and had no appetite. My dear friend suggested supplementing Amanda’s diet with Profect. After seeing the product, and the product literature, the children’s unit doctor approved supplementing Amanda’s diet with Profect. We froze the Profect and she ate it like a freeze-pop. She loved it! And we loved the fact that she was getting all the nourishment her little body needed. She made a speedy, full recovery and we owe lots of praise to you and your product. Thanks!Catherine Finney, Montana

I like Profect’s serving size, and the fact that it is lactose free. Finally I have a protein source I can digest without nausea and upset. This product has made me feel normal again. D.B. - Silver Spring, MD

My grandmother is on dialysis for her kidneys. My parents and I searched and searched for the appropriate diet products to help increase her serum albumin levels. We found Profect and she tried it. She loves the fl avors and the small volume. More impor-tantly, after three weeks of regular Profect usage, her serum albumin levels have risen from 2.2--which is where she has been for more than the past six months--to 4.1. Her doctor is now recommending Profect to other dialysis patients. Profect far exceeded our expectations. Not only did we fi nd an appropriate product…we found an EXCELLENT product backed by SUPERB customer service. Our entire family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. Jeffrey Todor, Georgia

I love Profect. It’s healthy and it’s quick. It has impacted my life because I’m always on the road, and I like to stay healthy -- Profect helps me balance my diet. Jacob Levy, California

I love living a healthy lifestyle. I once dreaded eating protein bars, and then I found Profect. What an amazing product!!! It tastes great, it is very portable, and it packs a ton of protein in that little vial. I look forward to using your product and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life.Pamela Long, Colorado

I am trying to rebuild my body and my life, and your product is helping me in a BIG way. I am suffering from anorexia. At its lowest, my weight dropped to 74 lbs. I am 5’7”, so you can imagine how desperate my situation was. I am currently holding steady at 105 lbs. I have been using Profect to get my protein requirements and help rebuild my failing body. I feel great now – physically AND emotionally. I would recommend this product to all others who suffer from eating disorders. There is no guilt in 2.9 ounces! Hey…maybe your label should also list “0% guilt”. Mindy Hills, Texas

Profect is perfect. The fl avors available are tasty… It is a small amount of liquid with a large amount of protein. Easy to take and digest. Quick and simple! I had a RNY Bypass surgery in March of 2005. My hair was falling out dramatically. The surgeon told me to increase my protein. I couldn’t get enough in with food so I started purchasing Profect from Protica. My hair has stopped falling out! I drink three to four vials a day. Thanks for your great product! Morris Family, Texas

I love the Profect container for convenience to carry to the job. Just grab it and go. I also love the fact that in three swallows it is gone -- no mixing -- no consistency problems – no lumps or sandy texture. The convenience has made me take my protein post op. Margaret Coffman, New Jersey

I had Gastric Bypass surgery in December 2005 and my nutrition program following surgery requires that I consume 100 grams of protein daily. Profect has been a tremendous aid in fulfi lling these requirements. I have lost 100 pounds in less than 4 months with the help of Profect. I use it as a snack, in combination with my meal and as a pick-me-up when exercising.Mitchell - Coral Springs, Florida

I like a lot of things about Profect. I like the portability. I like the 2.9 ounce jolt of protein. I love the Cool Melon Splash Flavor and buy it exclusively. Profect has impacted not only my life, but my lifestyle in a huge way. I now am getting my required protein grams effortlessly. I am status post gastric bypass. I had surgery on October 3, 2005. I have lost 85 pounds so far. I NEED to have protein supplementation in order to sustain a healthy life. I was noncompliant with this requirement until I discovered Profect. I am now compliant with my protein requirements. I look forward to it, in fact. Only thing is, I have to hide it from the kids. I do fi nd that I tend to run out of steam during the day. I carry a few vials of Profect with me, in the car, in my purse, and in my laptop case. If I need a “boost” it’s easy for me to take care of that without much fuss. Thank you Protica! Cheryl Blake, California

I had RNY surgery 4 months ago. I was treated to a sample of your protein and fell head over heals. I have had a lot of issues from my surgery, and you all are life savers. I hate shakes and have only found a few protein drinks I like, and not one has the great taste and the amount of protein as your wonderful product. I tell all I know about this great creation and my life saver. I am really thrilled to be able to get in great tasting protein and in a small amount. I am so thrilled! THANKS SO VERY MUCH!! Monica - Fort Belvoir, Virginia

A friend of ours bought Profect for my diabetic husband. That was in September of 2003. Profect is the only change he made to his diet since then, and his health improves with each check-up. Mary Waters, Oklahoma

I love the fl avor of Profect. I am a gastric bypass patient. After trying numerous protein supplements, Profect is the fi rst that I do not get sick on, and it tastes good. Profect has helped me keep on track with my weight loss and keep me healthy. Marlene Dougherty, Pennsylvania

I just wanted to give you and your company a perspective of why I like your product so much. The Profect protein product is just shy of being a TOTAL MIRACLE. The more information I gather about how the body metabolizes protein and the importance of hydrolyzed protein for human beings, the more I realize how perfect this product is for EVERYONE! As a gastric bypass patient, I was introduced to Profect as a preferred solution to getting enough protein in while recovering from surgery. Profect beats alterna-tive clear liquid proteins hands down due to its great taste (and no aftertaste), the fact that it is 25 grams of protein in less than 3 ounces of liquid, and its superior packaging which makes it easy to carry around anywhere you go. I drink at least 2 vials per day and am feeling terrifi c just a few weeks after major surgery. I started on Profect as a weight loss solution; however, I have already recruited my two teenage athletic sons and their teammates to use it for bodybuilding and health purposes, and have shared samples with friends, doctors, nutritionists, and nurses to encourage them to learn about this great product. The value for diabet-ics, insulin resistant patients, people who just want to lose weight, athletes, vegetarians, and improved health-seekers is obvious. This product can help them reach their varied goals! One amazing example: My friend’s mother was in critical condition in the hospital and had Profect every day as an alternative to a feeding tube. This product literally saved her life, not only nutritionally but also emotionally. We knew she would have “given up” if she had been forced to use a feeding tube. Naturally, many people are very grateful for the years of development that were invested to produce Profect because it saved their Mom, Sister, Aunt from acquiescing to a serious illness. Lastly, the customer service offered by Protica has been parallel to none. I have asked every question imaginable, have spoken to several company representatives, and even have received information, answers, support, and ordering service on weekend days and late into the evenings. Protica is a CLASS ACT and they have earned my lifelong business. Ann Morrison, Arizona
