Animal Protein VS Vegetable Protein
Animal protein is the only source of complete protein available. Animal sources
of protein (such as Goatein™) have many advantages over vegetarian sources (such
as soy) because vegetarian sources are typically low in one or more of the
essential amino acids even when overall protein content is high. There is now
some controversy regarding the safety of soy. Soy protein is thought by some
researchers to be high in mineral-blocking phytates and thyroid-depressing
phytoestrogens. Potent enzyme inhibitors in soy may even depress growth*.
The smaller molecules of goat’s milk are closer in size and composition to human
milk, making it easier to digest. Goat’s milk protein is also substantially less
allergenic than cow's milk protein in susceptible individuals. Additionally,
Goatein™ is partially pre-digested enhancing absorption and bio-availability of
it’s nutrients.

Why Do We Need Protein?
Proteins are the building blocks of human life, essential for normal growth.
Protein is 90% of the dry weight of blood, 80% of muscles, and 70% of the skin.
Proteins provide the building blocks for
connective tissue and are the primary constituents of enzymes, hormones and
antibodies. They encompass many important chemicals including immuno- globulins
and enzymes. In short, protein forms the foundation of muscles, skin, bones,
hair, heart, teeth, blood, and brain and the billions of biochemical activities
going on in our bodies every minute. When we fail to consume adequate amounts of
protein, the blood and tissues can become either too acidic or too alkaline.
Lack of dietary protein can retard growth in children, and in adults can be a
contributing factor in chronic fatigue, depression, slow wound healing, and
decreased resistance to infection.
Proteins contain approximately 22 amino acids, eight of which are essential
because the body cannot
produce them. Therefore, they must be obtained from our food. The
sulfur-containing amino acids: methionine, cystine, and cysteine are
particularly important for the health of the brain and nervous system. The amino
acid cysteine, which is the one most severely damaged by processing, is possibly
the most important anti-catabolic amino acid. There is clinical evidence that
supplementing the diet with bio-available cystine and other amino acids
contained in specially processed milk proteins can help build blood quality and
even detoxify harmful chemicals. Studies have shown as little as 20mg of
bio-available cysteine per day produces dramatic results in individuals using
resistance training. One daily serving of Goatein™ provides over 45mg of
cysteine.
Goatein™ is Pure
Goatein™ is the highest quality protein powder available. It is produced from
goat's milk that contains no antibiotics or female growth hormones. Most
commercially available dairy protein powders are produced from animals given
antibiotics and/or BrST that can provide the user with unacceptable amounts of
female hormones. (Is there an "acceptable" amount?) Many vegetable protein
powders are made from non-organic, or GMO sources and may contain chemical
residues.
Goatein™ Goat’s Milk is absorbed more easily
The smaller molecules of goat’s milk are closer in size and composition to human
milk, making it easier to digest. Goat’s milk protein is also substantially less
allergenic than cow's milk protein in susceptible individuals. Additionally,
Goatein™ is partially pre-digested through a lactic acid fermentation process to
make it even more bio-available while virtually eliminating its lactose content.
Research has shown that proteins from milk that have been pre-digested by
lacto-fermentation are absorbed more efficiently than those of non-fermented
milk. During the fermentation process many digestive enzymes are created that
aid in the assimilation of food nutrients. In “THE MILK BOOK”, William Campbell
Douglass, M.D., states that the protein contained in cultured (lacto-fermented)
dairy products is the highest quality available for human consumption.
Goatein™ is minimally processed
Most other milk protein powders are made from cow's milk and, though they claim
to be “minimally processed,” use several invasive processing steps, including
heating at high temperatures. These methods denature many important amino acids
and DESTROY enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Research suggests that processing
whey with heat and acid (i.e. ion-exchange) results in the loss of
several key amino acids including: Cysteine 73-77%, Threonine 35-45%, Serine
18-30%, and Lysine
19-20%. Because Goatein™ is processed without the use of acid or excessive heat,
the amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria remain in their natural form.
Goatein™ is high in amio acids
The building blocks of proteins are crucial for proper immune system function.
Because Goatein™ is processed without excessive heat or acids, it contains
biologically active cystine, glycine, and glutamic acid in tri-peptide form. The
combination of these three amino acids forms glutathione. Glutathione functions
as a principal antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and environmental toxins
such as lipid
peroxides that can damage and destroy healthy cells. When the body suffers from
oxidative stress,
supplies of glutathione diminish. Oxidative stress affects the nervous, immune
and endocrine systems and may be an underlying cause of fatigue. Glutathione is
extremely important for the proper functioning of the immune system through its
critical role in the growth and replication of lymphocytes, the cells that
mediate specific immunity. Goatein™ also provides immunoproteins such as
albumin, lactalbumin, and lactoferin that have been shown to stimulate immune
response.
Goat's milk is the most widely consumed milk in the world
GOATEINTM goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth
hormones or antibiotics
Many people who cannot drink cow's milk can take GOATEINTM goat's
milk protein
GOATEINTM contains all the essential amino acids for optimal
health GOATEINTM is minimally processed to preserve its original
GOATEINTM contains probiotics and digestive enzymes
Ingredients: Goat’s Milk Protein Concentrate, pre-digested
