The Aging Process
During the aging process, the use
of BioBuilde Formula, in conjunction with a well-balanced diet,
helps to:
- Normalize body protein synthesis;
- Maintain, increase or recover muscle strength,
volume and endurance;
- Strengthen and firm body tissues (skin,
muscle, etc);
- Minimize body-fat tissue.
In short, BioBuilde Formula
can help improve the quality of life!
BioBuilde Formula can provide easier,
healthier and more effective nutrition because:
- BioBuilde Formula provides the highest
nutritional value (NNU) in comparison with any other dietary
proteins or amino acid formula. BioBuilde Formula provides
an unprecedented 99% Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU). This
means that 99% of its constituent amino acids act as precursors
or “building blocks” in the body's protein synthesis. In comparison,
dietary proteins provide an NNU between 16% (casein) and 48%
(hen egg). One tablet of BioBuilde Formula can provide the
body’s protein synthesis equivalent to that provided by approximately
2.5 g high biological value protein.
- BioBuilde Formula releases the lowest
amount of metabolic waste in comparison with any other dietary
protein or amino acid formula. BioBuilde Formula releases
only 1% nitrogen catabolites (metabolic waste)! In comparison,
dietary proteins release between 52% and 84% nitrogen catabolites.
- BioBuilde Formula releases the lowest
amount of calories in comparison with any other dietary protein
or amino acid formula. Ten (10) tablets of BioBuilde Formula
releases only about half a calorie of energy.
- BioBuilde Formula is digested in less
than 23 minutes. This is less time than the 3 to 5 hours
necessary to digest common dietary proteins.
- BioBuilde Formula is not a medicine,
it is a dietary supplement. BioBuilde Formula can be safely
used by everyone regardless of age, gender or health status
to help meet their daily protein requirement.
- BioBuilde Formula contains no fat, sodium,
sugar, yeast, gluten, soy, corn, wheat, milk products or preservatives.
To date, many health disorders
have been misinterpreted as “natural” consequences of the aging
process. In reality, it is not the aging process itself but the
malnutrition associated with it that causes health disorders,
such as:
- Immune impairment, which can increase
susceptibility to infectious diseases. These, in turn, can
cause, or aggravate malnutrition as a result of many metabolic
alterations.
- Anemia due to insufficient erythropoiesis
(formation of red blood cells), caused by a deficiency of
iron, protein, vitamin B12, Folic Acid, vitamin C, or copper.
It is estimated that more than 35% of individuals experience
anemia during the aging process. Among the most common symptoms
of anemia are shortness of breath and fatigue.
- Decreased lean-body mass. The lean-body
mass is the mass of living cells that make up muscles, organs,
skeleton, antibodies, enzymes, etc. When lean-body mass decreases,
body movements, including breathing, can be seriously limited;
- Increased fat-body mass. Overweight
is the most common form of malnutrition in the USA. Fat-body
mass can increase up to 100% during the aging process. This
increase in fat-body mass can cause or aggravate health disorders
such as: cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, shortness
of breath, fatigue, and orthopedic afflictions.
Malnutrition (inadequate nutrition
in quantity or quality) is common during the aging process. In
the average 70-year-old individual, the lean-body mass (the living-cell
mass that makes up muscles, organs, skeleton, antibodies, enzymes,
etc.) usually decreases up to 25%. During the same period, fat-body
mass usually increases up to 100%. During the aging process, malnutrition
can be induced or aggravated, by causes such as:
- A decreased sense of taste and smell,
which can reduce appetite;
- Dental problems, which can decrease
eating capabilities;
- Infectious diseases, which can increase
the body’s protein catabolism (breakdown) and cause other
metabolic alterations;
- Chronic degenerative diseases, which
can increase the body’s protein catabolism and cause other
metabolic alterations;
- Gastrointestinal disorders, which
can limit the body’s absorption of nutrients and cause discomfort
during digestion, which, in turn, may reduce food intake;
- Neuropsychiatric factors, which
can cause anorexia;
- Social economic factors, which can
result in insufficient intake of food.
The achievement of adequate nutrition
during the aging process has been, so far, a scientific dilemma,
because during this period, kidney function intensely decreases.
As a result, an average 70-year-old individual could retain only
30% of his juvenile kidney function. Under these circumstances,
even the adequate daily protein intake could be contraindicated,
because it could provoke a dangerous increase of nitrogen catabolites
(metabolic waste), such as ammonia or Blood Urea Nitrogen (B.U.N.).
The use of BioBuilde Formula can
solve this dilemma. BioBuilde Formula can provide the highest
protein nutritional value with the lowest amount of nitrogen catabolites
(metabolic waste). Hence, BioBuilde Formula can provide healthier
and safer protein nutrition.
