FAQ’s

Question: I know that SYNTHA-6™ has 6 different sources of protein. Exactly what are the sources and what are their individual digestion rates?

Answer: SYNTHA-6™ contains 6 nutritionally complete and super-concentrated protein sources, which collectively foster a sustained release of amino acids. These individual protein fractions and their respective digestion rates are as follows: • Ultra-Filtered Whey Protein Concentrate – 2 to 3 Hours • Micellar Alpha-and-Beta Caseins and Caseinates – 6 to 8 Hours • Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate – 2 to 3 Hours • Egg Albumen – 2 to 3 Hours • Calcium Caseinate – 6 to 8 Hours • Milk Protein Concentrate – 4 to 6 Hours Please keep in mind that the digestion rate for the various protein sources listed above are quoted in general terms, and may change depending on the amount of protein consumed, and whether or not the proteins are consumed with other foods and/or micronutrients.
 

Question: Why is there 60 mg of cholesterol in SYNTHA-6™?

Answer: The 60 mg of cholesterol found in SYNTHA-6™ is the product of (1) the specific proteins contained within the blend and (2) the sunflower oil and medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s). It’s important to understand that there are two types of cholesterol, High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), typically referred to as the “Good” cholesterol, and Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), typically referred to as the “Bad” Cholesterol. Sources of HDL cholesterol like fish and vegetable oils (unsaturated fat) have been found to raise HDL levels, while sources of bad cholesterol like the saturated fat found in red meat and palm oil tend to raise LDL levels. The fats contained in SYNTHA-6™ are predominantly of the unsaturated variety. In fact, you’ll notice that each serving of SYNTHA-6™ contains only 2 grams of saturated fat. Regardless of that, if you do suffer from high cholesterol levels, please check with your primary care physician first before starting supplementation with SYNTHA-6™ and engaging in an exercise program. Your physician will be able to offer the best advice as to whether or not SYNTHA-6™ has a place in your diet.
 

Question: I am lactose-intolerant. Can I take SYNTHA-6™?

Answer: 5 of the 6 proteins contained in SYNTHA-6™ are derived from milk; therefore, there is a degree of lactose in SYNTHA-6™. Given your lactose intolerance condition, whether or not you can consume SYNTHA-6™ is a question best answered by your primary care physician. He or she will be able to assess the severity of your lactose intolerance and make a recommendation. We have gotten feedback from lactose intolerant individuals who consume SYNTHA-6™, some of whom feel no discomfort, and others who just simply need to take a lactase enzyme 30 minutes prior to consumption. Again though, regardless of that, please check with your primary care physician prior to consuming SYNTHA-6™ if you are lactose intolerant.

Question: I cannot seem to find the amino acid profile for SYNTHA-6™ anywhere on the label. Can you supply this information?

Answer: Unfortunately, we cannot release SYNTHA-6™’s exact amino acid profile, owing to the fact that the blend is proprietary. By releasing this amino acid breakdown, we would be potentially opening the door to competitors copying the ratios. If you have a specific question regarding a particular amino acid’s concentration, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-877-673-3727 and make a technical inquiry. From there, someone in our Research and Development Department can help to answer your question.
