WHY DO WE NEED PROTEIN?
Proteins are the building blocks of human life, essential for normal growth.  Protein is 90 percent of the dry weight of blood, 80 percent of muscles, and 70 percent 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 immunoglobulins and enzymes.  In short, protein is the basic stuff of muscles, skin, bones, hair, heart, teeth, blood, brains, skin, and the zillion 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.  Clinical evidence suggests that supplementing the diet with bioavailable cystine and other amino acids contained in specially processed milk proteins can help build blood quality and even detoxify harmful chemicals.  Studies have shown that as little as 20mg of bioavailable cysteine per day produces dramatic results in individuals using resistance training.  One daily serving of Goateintm provides over 45mg of cysteine.

ANIMAL PROTEIN vs. VEGETABLE PROTEIN.  Animal protein is the only source of complete protein available.  Animal sources of protein (such as Goateintm) 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*.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT GOATEINtm?
GOATEINtm IS PURE.  Goateintm 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.

GOATEINtm GOAT'S MILK PROTEIN 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, Goateintm is partially pre-digested through a lactic acid fermentation process to make it even more bio-available while virtually eliminating it's 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 very highest quality available for human consumption.

GOATEINtm IS MINIMALLY PROCESSED.  Most other milk protein powders are made from cow's milk and, even though they claim to be "minimally processed", may 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 adds including cysteine 73-77%, threonine 35-45%, serine 18-30%, and lysine 19-20%.  Because Goateintm is processed without the use of acid or excessive heat, the amino acids, enzymes and beneficial bacteria remain in their natural form.

GOATEINtm IS HIGH IN AMINO ACIDS.  These building blocks of proteins are crucial for proper Immune system function.  Because Goateintm is processed without excessive heat or acids, it contains biologically active cystine, glycine, and glutamic acid in tripeptide 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.  Goateintm also provides immunoproteins such as albumin, lactalbumin, and lactoferrin that have been shown to stimulate immune response.

GOATEINtm IS A BALANCED COMBINATION OF WHEY PROTEIN AND MILK PROTEINS.  Research indicates consuming whey protein by itself can cause too rapid an absorption of amino acids.  These amino acids are then used for energy production instead of tissue building.  We are convinced that a combination of both whey protein and milk proteins is superior, containing a much higher concentration of glutamine (20% of protein content). GOATEINtm contains a favorable ratio of potassium to sodium, important for a leaner, less bloated look.

GOATEINtm CONTAINS AMINO ACIDS IN THEIR PEPTIDE AND FREE FORM. The amino acids in Goateintm are in their L configuration, completely assimilable by the body.  This makes Goateintm an extremely important supplement for premature babies, people with compromised digestion, the elderly, and those suffering from malnutrition and muscle wasting.  Dietary peptides have been shown to suppress abnormal  immune cell activity and minimize the damaging side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.  The amino acid L tryptophane can be effective in cases of insomnia and depression.  Glutamine, an important amino acid for building lean body mass and immune health, is not effectively absorbed vvhen taken in combination with other amino acids due to competitive absorption.  However, when the glutamine is bonded with a peptide, as it is in Goateintm, it's absorbed many hundreds of times better.  The glutamine contained in Goateintm aids in the body's ability to repair itself after injury or intense workouts.

GOATEINtm CONTAINS POWERFUL PROBIOTICS AND DIGESTIVE ENZYMES including protease, amylase, lipase, and lactase.  These enzymes contribute to the health of the digestive tract and can increase the utilization of Goateintm as well as other dairy foods.  Goateintm is the only protein powder available that contains 14 super strains of probiotics designed to be resistant to heat, cold, chlorine, fluorine, stomach acid, and extremes of pH.**  Each serving of Goateintm contains probiotics in a base of lacto-fermented goat's milk protein.  Fermentation by lactic acid bacteria creates biologically active lactic acid that plays a major role in energy production and fat burning.  This lactic acid is also essential for proper pH balance of the gastrointestinal tract and other bodily tissue.  Many of the healthiest and longest living people in the world have consumed lacto-fermented dairy products and attribute their longevity to this marvelous food.  Research has shown that regular consumption of cultured (lacto-fermented) dairy products lowers cholesterol and protects against bone loss.

Scientific research makes it very clear that probiotics are of vital necessity and immense benefit to humans.  Probiotics not only collectively provide profound health benefits, such as vastly improved digestion and nutrient absorption, but also provide superior protection against the invasion of foreign pathogens and other infectious agents.  They,

  • Improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Protect against invasion of foreign pathogens and other infectious agents.
  • Dramatically improve human immune function.
  • Protect the body from the potentially devastating effects of accumulated toxins and carcinogenic substances.
  • Produce short chain fatty acids that are converted into energy.
  • Help protect against unhealthy cholesterol buildup that could lead to cardiovascular disease and even death.

Athletes: After intense exercise the immune system is more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.  By consuming Goateintm after working out you can can help to protect your body from infection by supplying high quality proteins in the form of peptides, probiotics, and enzymes.

The inclusion of naturally occurring probiotics and enzymes as part of the food itself make Goateintm the most highly bio-available protein powder available.  Because Goateintm is so easily digested, it is the protein powder of choice for young and old alike!
