BSN makes Syntha 6 Protein Powder, a supplement used by males and females to gain lean muscle mass and reduce weight. Syntha 6 gives the body energy and protein necessary for endurance and strength. According to the Supplements 101 website, Syntha 6 includes ingredients to promote nutrition, weight management and digestive health. BSN suggests using the product as directed for maximum results.
Consult with a physician before beginning any type of weight or protein supplementation program to determine potential side effects.
Protein Combination
Syntha 6 contains a proprietary protein combination designed especially for BSN. While all of the protein ingredients are common in other weight management shakes and powders, the combination for this product is specific to Syntha 6 Protein Powder. All of the ingredients provide a full feeling without bloating. According to Supplements 101, the stomach takes approximately two to four hours to digest the protein blend.
In weight loss and increasing lean muscle mass, protein is essential. It gives the body fuel without a high fat content. Whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, both of the highest form of protein made from milk, are the first two ingredients. Whey protein concentrate and isolate contain 70 to 90 percent digestible protein. Whey protein creates a full feeling without depriving the body of nutrition. The blend contains other milk-based proteins such as milk protein concentrate, calcium caseinate and alpha and beta caseinates. Caseinates contain several amino acids needed for the creation of lean muscle like glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. Egg albumen, the final protein ingredient, is egg whites.
Fiber, Ezymes and Amino Acids
With the 22 grams of protein in Syntha 6, individuals sensitive to high amounts of protein experience digestive discomfort. To remedy this, Syntha 6 added digestive enzymes like papain and bromelain, which break down protein and aid in the digestion and assimilation processes.
Syntha 6 contains glutamine, triglycerides and essential fatty acids. These three ingredients are essential amino acids the body needs for protein chain production for healthy lean muscle mass.
Flavoring
Syntha 6 Protein Powder comes in several flavors, and mixes with either water or milk. Flavors include vanilla, caramel latte, and cookies and cream. There are milkshake flavors in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, too. Each has natural and artificial flavoring ingredients.
