Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do UP2U products contain milk UP2U products contain two ingredients gently extracted from milk:
- Milk permeate -- the source of our carbohydrates and electrolytes.
- Pronativ native whey protein - a higher quality and less processed form of protein.
Are all products lactose free Yes. Lactose is a natural sugar present in milk based ingredients that is made up of two components: galactose and glucose. Lactase enzymes are added to breakdown lactose into its two components. This makes all UP2U products easier to digest and lactose-free.
2) What is Pronativ Pronativ is a clinically proven, fast absorbing protein that stimulates muscle recovery within 30 minutes of activity. Back by 15 years of science through our patented cold filtration process, we protect the nutritional value of the protein. We only use minimally-processed, locally sources milk without fillers, lactose, additional carbs or fat.
How is it different than other proteins Whey protein is typically a byproduct of the cheese making process. However, native whey is a different kind of protein as it come directly from fresh milk that is cold-filtered to keep all of its natural nutrients. That way, unnecessary fillers, production residues,
artificial ingredients or chemicals can be avoided.
3) Are UP2U products safe for everyone The ingredients contained in UP2U products are safe for young children to pro-athletes and everyone in between to consume.
Are they free of banned substances Every batch is tested for banned substances under the Informed Sports program which is accredited to provide the highest level of confidence for athletes.
Are there dietary concerns All UP2U products are Vegetarian (not vegan friendly as they do contain milk), Keto-friendly (high protein, low sugar and 10g of heathy carbs), and Kosher certified. Additionally, there is no gluten, no artificial colors, and no artificial flavors present.
4) When is the ideal/most optimal time to consume UP2U products UP2U is designed with athletes and their goals in mind. Enjoy right after working out or after physical activity for maximum benefit. However our bodies require high quality protein every day, not only to build and repair but to maintain the muscle we have. Whether or not you workout, UP2U products can provide the protein your body needs.
5) Why is there foam when shaken Foaming is due to the ingredient Pronativ protein. Pronativ is an unprocessed, purer quality protein, which makes it more sensitive when interacting with air. Similarly, to compare, an egg white is an unprocessed source of protein; when it is blended or air is incorporated into it, foam naturally occurs.
