Every physical action – from stretching our hands to smiling
– involves complex and multiple movements of muscles. Protein is one of the
most important macronutrients in your body. Your muscles, hair, eyes, organs,
and many hormones and enzymes are primarily made out of protein. It also helps
to repair and maintain your body tissues. However, not all protein is created
equal, and there are things you can do to help your body use it more
efficiently. Protein is a very large nutrients that’s made up of smaller
substances called amino acids. There are 18 amino acids, but your body can only
make 9 of them. The other 9 are called essential amino acids, and you can only
get through your diet.
High-quality protein sources contain all nine essential
amino acids. These are also called whole proteins or complete proteins.
Athletes and active individuals have higher requirements of
proteins as the body needs the building blocks to recover from this muscle
damage and initiate the process of building new muscle. The sports nutrition
research in the area of muscle recovery and growth in unequivocally in favor of
protein supplementation, especially for individuals who want to improve lean
muscle, and for athletes who undergo rigorous exercise.
After intense workouts, the body is starved for protein, and
in the absence of additional protein intake, the body may start to leach
protein away from the muscle. Supplementation with a complete protein source
rich in all amino acids helps prevent this breakdown of muscle protein,
enabling individuals to retain and build lean mass.
Unived Women’s Protein offers a complete source of protein,
100% RDA, iron, phytonutrients, probiotics, and with natural digestive enzymes
to aid easy digestion of protein to make sure that the protein is easily
digested and available to the body for absorption and utilization.
It not caters the protein need of Athletic Women; it caters
the need for protein for all women including non-athletes providing additional
benefits.

Role of Ingredients:
1. Pea Protein Isolate:
It is a 100% Plant-based protein that provides a complete amino acid profile that has all essential and non-essential amino acids. It
provides 20g of protein and 3.64g of BCAA which helps with lean muscle
development. It also has a PDCAAS score of 0.93 and is highly digestible.
2. Digestive enzyme blend:
The digestive enzymes are active at different pH levels to ensure complete digestion of the protein at every level of the digestive tract which is acidic in the stomach and alkaline in the intestine. They help break down the complex protein molecule for its optimum absorption and reduce the chances of gastric problems like flatulence and stomach ache which are caused by the undigested protein.
3. Unique IS 2 (Bacillus coagulans)
These probiotic bacteria help to produce lactic acid. It helps to maintain a healthy digestive system and improve gut health. It also supports a healthy immune system.
4. Vitamin A (Beta carotene): Vitamin A has a role in vision and immune defense.
5. Vitamin B Complex
- Thiamin (B1): is part of the coenzyme thiamin pyrophosphate,
which helps in the breakdown of glucose for energy and functions as a coenzyme
for branch chain amino acid metabolism (Leucine, isoleucine, and valine). - Riboflavin (B2) – is a part of two coenzyme (flavin
mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide). The two coenzymes are involved
in oxidation-reduction reactions during energy production within the metabolic
pathways. It helps extract energy from glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. - Niacin (B3) – It plays a critical role in breaking down
carbohydrates and fatty acids during exercise. Its other role is to repair and
replicate cells post-exercise. - Pyridoxine (B6) – Our body cannot synthesize sufficient
quantities of all amino acids without vitamin B6. Pyridoxine helps deliver
oxygen throughout our body and helps nerve cells communicate. Pyridoxine also
works with folate and vitamin B12 to lower homocysteine levels in the blood. - Biotin (B7) – is critical for the breakdown of carbohydrates
to glucose, fat to fatty acid, and protein to amino acids. It also helps in
gluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources).
Contributes to healthy hair and nail growth. - Folate (B9) – is involved with DNA synthesis and the
maturation of red blood cells and other cells. It also helps decrease
homocysteine levels and is involved in amino acid metabolism. - Cyanocobalamin (B12) – Vitamin B12 is important for the
functions of the nervous system, homocysteine metabolism, and DNA synthesis,
especially in erythrocytes. It also
helps in the utilization of protein, carbohydrates and fats and is known to
increase endurance capacity and help in the production of new blood cells, and
repair damages muscles.
6. Vitamin C - Acts as a powerful antioxidant by
neutralizing free radicals. Promotes collagen synthesis and protects from
photo-damage. Promotes wound-healing reduces wrinkle formation, promotes
proliferation repair of cells, protects keratinocytes, and increases keratin
production.
7. Vitamin D - Promotes bone mineral density and provides
optimal muscle strength.
It is essential for the control of normal calcium and
phosphate blood levels. It also plays an important role in the proper
functioning of muscles, nerves, and blood clotting and form normal none
formation and mineralization.
8. Vitamin E - It is a vitamin with antioxidant properties
as it protects the cell from free radical damage and improves immunity.
9. Vitamin K2-7 - Vitamin K2 is essential to bind calcium
affectively to the bone matrix, keeping the bones dense and strong. Regulates
calcium in the body. Keeps calcium out the arteris and prevents the formation
of dangerous calcified plaques.
10. Hesperidin - It is a flavonoid with antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory and has immune-modulating properties. It also upregulates
collagen synthesis
11. Hyaluronic acid - The key molecule involved in skin
moisture is hyaluronic acid (HA) which has a unique capacity in retaining
water. It is responsible for binding and retaining water molecules in the
epidermis layer of the skin and thus maintaining skin moisture content.
12. L-Cysteine - L-cysteine acts a precursor for the
synthesis of glutathione. L-cysteine regulates melanogenesis through the
interaction with L-dopaquinone to form cysteinyl-dopa. This reaction lowers
melanin pigment levels thus helping in skin radiance and glow.
