FAQS
WHAT TYPE OF PROTEIN IS USED IN ISOLUTION?
ISOlution contains whey protein isolate as the sole source of protein. The whey protein isolate in ISOlution has best-in-class 93% purity. It’s superior amino acid profile and rapid digestibility makes it the ideal protein source for older persons.
WHERE IS THE PROTEIN IN ISOLUTION SOURCED FROM?
The whey protein isolate in ISOlution®is sourced from New Zealand grass-fed, pasture-raised cows.
WHAT IS LEUCINE? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Leucine is an essential amino acid that must be consumed through diet. Research shows that having enough leucine in the protein you consume is essential to the protein’s ability to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. ISOlution® contains 4 grams of leucine per serving.
HOW MUCH PROTEIN IS RECOMMENDED PER MEAL?
To ensure muscles respond maximally to the protein ingested, approximately 25-30 grams of protein per meal, containing 2.5-2.8 grams of leucine is ideal. ISOlution has 26 grams of protein containing 4grams of leucine.
IS PRECOVERY SAFE TO CONSUME UP TO 2 HOURS BEFORE ANESTHESIA?
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (along with the Canadian and European equivalents) allow clear fluids to be consumed up to 2 hours before anesthesia unless contraindicated. EMN also has gastric emptying data to demonstrate clearance of PREcovery from the stomach within 2 hours.
CAN I USE THIS PRODUCT WITH MY DIABETIC PATIENTS?
Type 2 diabetic individuals may use PREcovery. Studies have demonstrated safety of using preoperative carbohydrate beverages in this patient population. PREcovery is contraindicated for type 1 diabetic patients as there is no data to support use in this patient population.
