Q&A With Dr. BJ Adrezin on New Boku Super Protein

March 25th, 2010 admin 1 comment

Many of our customers have had some pretty good questions about our new Super Protein Powder, so we sent them to our Master Formulator and here are his responses:

1. Why do I need extra protein?Protein, pouch w. blue scoop-pile

Protein is the major building block of the body.  It is absolutely essential for body structure and function.  Protein is needed to build strong bones and muscles.  Enzymes, immune factors, and many hormones are made from protein.  Without sufficient protein, the body will deteriorate.

2. What is the main benefit to adding Boku Super Protein to Boku Super Food?

To enjoy a large quantity of highly absorbable, delicious organic protein along with the full-spectrum of phytonutrients and other highly potent properties of Boku Super Food.

3. Why did you choose brown rice protein over whey, soy or even hemp protein? Is it actually better? If so, why?

Our organic certified, whole grain brown rice protein is sprouted to significantly increase its nutritional density.  It is considered a raw food and is hypoallergenic.  It has the full spectrum of amino acids and is very highly absorbable.  Soy and whey proteins can be significant allergens.  Soy is quite controversial for its anti –nutrients and potential hormonal effects.  Many soy and whey proteins are heated to very high temperatures during their production, which can potentially create a protein that’s less than healthy.  Hemp protein has many beneficial properties, although its intense taste is hard for many people to stomach.

Thanks Dr. BJ!
