PRO-PL Protein Powder contains a scientifically balanced blend of macronutrients and micronutrients. Key active ingredients include Whey Protein Concentrate, Skimmed Milk Powder, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein Isolate, Malt Extract, Evening Primrose Oil Powder, DHA Rich Algal Oil Powder, a range of Vitamins, and Minerals. It is enriched with 28 essential vitamins and minerals, along with specific components like DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid). The macronutrient distribution is approximately 49% Carbohydrates, 21% Protein, and 30% Fat. Allergen Information: Contains milk and soy ingredients.

Uses

PRO-PL Protein Powder is prescribed to:

  • Support Maternal Health: Promotes optimal weight gain and provides comprehensive nutrition for expecting and lactating mothers, helping to replenish nutritional stores. It may also help increase energy levels and reduce fatigue.
  • Reduce Pregnancy Complications: Designed to minimize the risk of complications such as Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR), preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension), Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM), and preterm delivery.
  • Enhance Fetal Development: Contributes to improved fetal outcomes by supporting immune function, cognitive development, and the development of the brain, nerves, and vision due to the presence of DHA. It also helps in reducing the incidence of low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age births.
  • Promote Infant Growth: Post-delivery, it aids in the overall growth, immunity enhancement, motor functions, and cognitive development of the infant through breast milk.
  • The palatable vanilla flavor may help reduce nausea or digestive discomfort during pregnancy.

It is advised to take 2 tablespoons (approximately 30g) of PRO-PL Protein Powder twice a day. Directions for Use:

  1. Take 1/3 cup of lukewarm milk or 1/2 cup of lukewarm water.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons (30g) of the protein powder and stir briskly until completely dissolved.
  3. Add more milk or water to fill the remaining volume of the cup (up to 240ml) or to your taste preference.
  4. Stir well and consume immediately for best taste and efficacy. Sugar may be added if desired. Consult a physician or nutritionist for personalized dosage recommendations.

These symptoms typically subside as the body adjusts. No specific severe side effects have been widely reported in medical literature directly linked to PRO-PL Protein Powder; however, if symptoms persist or any unusual effects occur, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

  • Contains milk and soy ingredients; individuals with allergies to these should exercise caution.

Storage

Store PRO-PL Protein Powder at room temperature in a cool, dark, and dry place.
