What's wrong with popular protein products
Tom: You will find peptide-based products in various body building formulas in the health food store. Yet, if you look at the molecular weights of those peptides, they are still only partially digested proteins. This means when you get down to a small chain peptide of two or three amino acids, the molecular weight of those peptides is much, much smaller than the various designer proteins you might find in the health food store that are claiming to be peptides. That's because "peptides" is a poorly defined term. They are not completely pre-digested like the proteins in our product.
Mike: We see that on body-building products -- they'll say micro-filtered and cross-filtered.
Tom: Yes, and the molecular weights are often in, I think, it is a term called "Dacrons" or "Datrons" I forget now exactly. The weight measurement is certainly much larger than what we were looking for.
We did not see a therapeutic advantage to using partially digested proteins over completely digested proteins. I mean, one of the difficult aspects of this product is that you can go into a health food store, buy a whole tub of protein for 20 bucks, and scoop out 40 grams a day for two months. Your cost is then 30 cents a day.
Our retail price is $40 for a bottle of 180 half-gram capsules of protein powder. Even though it is whole-food protein powder, the process of predigesting down to small chain peptides is an extensive process. That is why in the enteral feeding formulas in the hospital, the protein formulas are rarely used because they are about 10 times more expensive than the intact protein formulas.
Mike: I have an explanation that might help readers here: In chemistry, you have O2, oxygen, which is essential for us, but if you add another atom, you have O3, which is extremely dangerous to us. It can burn our lung tissues, right? So it is all oxygen, but it is different chain lengths. Then, you can have carbon monoxide CO, which is a poison to us. It is the same element, but it is how the element is arranged that determines whether it is beneficial or harmful.
Tom: That is an excellent correlation, so let me tie it back to the protein. With leaky gut syndrome and the delayed food allergy problems that we see in natural medicine -- it is the kind of case where someone can eat an egg on Friday, then have a delayed response food allergy to the proteins in that egg, and they end up with a migraine, an attack of arthritis, gout or something three days later -- there is no direct correlation. That is because with leaky gut and malabsorption issues, if a long chain peptide is absorbed in the body intact, but incompletely digested, the body sees it as a foreign substance and has an internal allergic reaction to it. So, longer chain peptides create allergic food allergy problems in the body.
Until the digestive system is working well enough to digest our protein down to the smallest component that it needs -- that is, amino acids and small chain peptides -- we are running the risk of longer chain peptides -- incompletely digested protein -- crossing a leaky gut; a gut barrier problem that creates the food allergy issues that so many alternative doctors deal with.
Mike: That is an excellent point, and I want to mention, too, that also it can result in a lot of joint pain in people.
