The 15g of protein per serving provides 30 percent of the recommended daily value. The protein source is hydrolyzed kosher collagen protein, along with additional amounts of the amino acid L-tryptophan. Pro-Stat 101 includes all essential, non-essential and conditionally essential amino acids. Each serving contains 8.55g arginine, which is an amino acid that has been shown to promote wound healing, according to MayoClinic.com. Because the protein in Pro-Stat 101 is hydrolyzed, the body is able to absorb and utilize it faster and more efficiently.

Minerals

Pro-Stat 101 provides very small quantities of three essential minerals--sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Each serving contains 14.5mg sodium, 15.6mg potassium and 5.9mg phosphorus. Each of these amounts are less than 1 percent of the recommended daily value. Pro-Stat 101 contains no other minerals and does not contain vitamins.
