Genepro Gen2 Equivalency Study as Compared to Whey Isolate (1 Tablespoon of Genepro Gen2 and 30g Whey Isolate.

Objective: To prove the absorbability and usability of Genepro Gen2 Protein and compared to whey isolate. This study is intended to show the equivalent value of Genepro Gen2 as compared to whey protein isolate (1 tablespoon Genepro Gen2 compared to 30g serving of whey isolate)

Parameters: This study encompasses a 12-week program that follows 20 gastric bypass patients that have undergone weight loss surgery. We took a baseline blood analysis prior to the start of the study and subsequently we took weekly blood work to chart and register the findings. For this study we will only be doing the weekly analysis on blood protein levels by utilizing Spectrophotometry. The target blood protein range is 6.1-8.7 g/dL this test is administered while fasting.

Participants: 20 Post Op Gastric Bypass patients. 10 men, 10 women. All participants were between the ages of 30-46 years of age. All participants have been post operation from their weight loss surgery for a minimum of 3 months prior to the start of the study and no longer than 12 months at the start of the study.

Gathering Results: 10 subjects will receive Genepro Gen 2 protein (1 tablespoon serving) for the first 6 weeks of the study and for the last six weeks, they will receive 30g of Whey protein. In conjunction the other group of 10 subjects will receive 30g whey protein the first 6 weeks of the study and Genepro Gen2 protein the final six weeks. Weekly blood analysis will determine blood protein levels.

Diet: Diet guidelines limit the calories you consume while providing you with balanced meals to help prevent nutritional deficiencies and preserve your muscle tissue. Each patient tolerates suggested foods differently.
