Infusion/UP2.0 on CKD

[Zachattack43]

Dana,

what are your thoughts on Ultra Peptide 2.0 on low carb days? seems ideal and low on the sugar.

What about Infusion?

I know he won't like the infusion due to the flax component.

UP 2.0 fits in ok on the weekend of a CKD, but the carb content doesn't naturally support a ketogenic state.

While this is a concern if you were ingesting copious tallies of flax, it probably has inconsequential effects if you are only having a shake or two per day. Still, I do find the macro ration unfavorable for some to attain true glycogen depletion (with 11 grams though 6 grams are less concerning as they are fiber - but this becomes problematic in nutrient absorption of other varieties), so it may depend moreso on your ability to see success with this.

Mind you, I am not seeing flax in the ingredient suggestion that follows:

Ingredients:
100% undenatured Whey Protein Isolate (98% pure protein dry basis), Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate both containing microfractions, Micellar Alpha and Beta Casiens and Cassienates, Alpha-Lactalbumin, Purified Bovine Colostrum Extract rich in Secretory IgA and IGF-1, Glutamine Peptides. Lipid complex selected for thermogenic and unique energy properties (Bio- Engineered Polyunsaturated Long-Chain Vegetable Oils] Sunflower Oil, MCT's, CLA), Raw Oats, Oat Meal Powder, Maltodextrin, L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, oligofructose, Lecithin, Acesulfame-potassium, Natural and artificial flavors, Sucralose.

Did they change it?


Again, may be best served on weekend inclusion during any choice liquid meals during that time frame.

^^ hmmm maybe they took it out? I know a while back when I looked it had flax meal in it.

Hi dinoiii,

That is actually from an old label (quite an old label!) - mind if I ask where you looked it up? I've been trying to get e-stores to update their labels for Infusion, but many have been ponderously slow about responding. It is annoying when I get questions about Infusion, but the information is from an old label that is not in circulation.

Here is the current ingredient listing:

Ingredients:

Protein Blend (Micellar Casein, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Colostrum Powder, Lactalbumin), Sunflower Creamer (High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Calcium Caseinate, Mono And Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin), Oat Fiber, Flax Seed Powder, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Conjugated Linoleic Acid Calcium Salt, Stabilized Rice Bran, Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten (As A Source Of Glutamine Peptide), Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Acesulfame K, Xanthan Gum, Lactobacillus Acidophillus, And Sucralose.

So yes, Infusion does now contain flax seed.

The macronutrient breakdown is as follows:

Protein: 47g

Carbohydrates: 12g
Dietary Fiber: 7g

Fat: 12g
Unsaturated: 8g


Hope this helps,
Tiny

Zach, I honestly think you'll be fine. I've done it without major consequences and you appear to have a faster metabolism than I in regards to bodytype. Tha only drawback is it's small amount of fructose... at tha very least you can just use one scoop and add an additional scoop of 1.0 (which is typically what I do anyways).
