Any actual stats or research on Genepro protein?



Recommended Posts

very interested in the low "dosage" of just 1 tablespoon of the GENEPRO Protein Powder but it really does sound too good to be true. i have not found any stats or research on it other than listed from the company so i was wondering if anyone has any actual third party info on it? anyone have good Protein levels while on it? i know it will not be my only source of protein but i don't want to waste time and money if it is bogus. it just seems like mixing a tablespoon in something would be much easier than your standard size 1/4 cup serving/dosage. thanks in advance!!!

The only "studies" are ones they have done themselves. I have found no third party confirmation of their claims. If you want to use GENEPRO, I would advise counting it as 15 grams of Protein toward your daily total instead of the claimed 30 grams. Logically, it's not physically possible to fit 30 grams into 15 grams. Grams are a measure of mass. The claim is that their specific formula of Protein is absorbed and utilized by the body at a much higher rate than "normal" protein supplements, thus you allegedly get the BENEFIT of twice as much protein in half the mass. But again, there are no independent studies to prove their claims at this point. So you would be totally taking it on faith and running the risk of only getting half as much protein as you think you are.

That's why I recommend counting it as just the actual and real 15 grams of protein. If you are getting the "benefit" of more protein because of their special process, then great, but at least you can be sure you are still getting your minimums in by counting it as only 15 grams.

I use it because it's the only one I have found that has no flavor and mixes well. I am not so sure I believe it's 30 so I count it around 15 like Jamie says. I am pretty lose with my counting though. I just always make sure I have Protein with whatever I eat. 14 months out and have been using it a year. Never had any problems with my lab work. I mix it in my coffee every morning.

Awesome. Thanks y'all for he response. Like I said I'm not counting on it for all my Protein so I may get it and just count it as 15 like y'all said. I'd rather do that and it mix well than some of this clumpy looking stuff. Yuck. I'm not really a shake consistency fan so I'll be mixing protein powder in just about everything else!

I did try a free sample of it that I received and it mixed well with my greek yogurt, so if you are just looking for a taste-free option that mixes well, it seems like a good source of at least 15 grams of Protein. In their videos they say it doesn't mix great with straight Water (didn't try it myself), but does mix well with any flavored beverage like Gatorade and with hot beverages like coffee or tea.

I got my sample directly through the GENEPRO website, but that was back when I first had my surgery over a year ago. I believe it was also available on Amazon at that time.

Jane13, I have just ordered the sample of that along with their chicken Soup mix to try and I will also be trying out the Isopure unflavored as well. I figure between the three I should find something that works! Thanks for the info!!!! :)

I have been using the Now Foods whey Protein isolate available on Amazon. I found it when searching for unflavored Proteins. It mixes well in my morning smoothies and is cheaper than many unflavored alternatives.

I mix my GENEPRO with Water and crystal light twice a day, it makes it cloudy but doesn't alter the texture or flavor...my favorite by far. I will probably be devastated if my Protein level is not high enough and I have to switch.

Have you had labs since then? I use it as my main protein source, and I'm curious too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
