The Research and Development department of Yamamoto Nutrition is pleased to present

MANGUSTA: the "Meal Replacement" which represents a real revolution in the concept of "meal replacement" indicated for athletes looking for the best of nutrients in a practical powdered mixture. MANGUSTA is the Meal Replacement of the new era, which represents the concept and functionality of a real complete and highly nutritious meal replacement, without the addition of simple sugars, maltodextrins or hydrogenated fats, with extreme regard for the quality of the raw materials choices, on the real nutritional value of macronutrients, and today with particular attention to glycemic control and not to the amount of calories introduced or to the "only" sense of satiety but to the quality of what we ingest to better finalize the results we seek.

MANGUSTA is a balanced meal replacement that "nourishes" completely, suitable both for those who want to introduce precious calories with a high nutritional value to support muscle growth, and to support diets that promote weight loss, thanks to a complete blend of macronutrients and microelements consisting of: various rapidly absorbed protein sources of very high biological value and with a gradual amino acid release component (Isolac® whey protein isolate, Carbelac® concentrate and caseins); different sources of carbohydrates that provide a controlled glycemic index without the risk of glycemic and insulin peaks (mix of modcarb® cereals and Palatinose® Isomaltulose); blend of fats from medium-chain, mono- and polyunsaturated fat sources; Creapure® quality micronized creatine; digestive enzymes and probiotics; 16 vitamins and minerals. What makes Mangusta so innovative? The use of meal replacements today is often linked to weight loss or purely female diets or associated only with the limited time available and practicality, or in the past the "MRP" meal replacement was needed and was used to implement calories for athletes looking for in a more convenient way to increase the intake of micronutrients through liquid mixtures to drink without (relatively) further burdening the digestive system. However, this meant increasing calories which also tended to favor a tendency towards a greater accumulation of adipose tissue and water retention given that it was introduced into an even significant overload of simple sugars or maltodextrins, or a feeling of great heaviness and digestive difficulties.

The purpose of a replacement meal offers much more, thanks to this innovative formula of Yamamoto Nutrition Research and Development which has thought not only of the quantity but of the quality of the type of macronutrients, we are able to obtain a real replacement meal, with a better glycemic stability, less tendency to accumulate fat or water retention, promoting a greater sense of satiety without burdening digestion, satisfying all those who need a quick daily meal by providing proteins, fats and carbohydrates in a balanced way for those seeking an excellent state of fit, for athletes in those phases of their preparation with high caloric intake, where drinking becomes easier than eating. All this in the absence of simple sugars, thickeners or "empty" calories such as sugar alcohols but with calories and nutrients to satisfy every need.

Yamamoto nutrition Research and Development has made it possible to study and develop this blend of optimal nutritional elements using the best raw materials.

PROTEIN BLEND To make up the 27 g constituent protein intake per serving, there could be no better choice than combining protein sources of very high biological value, rich in bioactive fractions and which can have a gradual and prolonged amino acid release over time, and which are also highly digestible. As protein sources we talk about: ISOLAC as excellent isolated whey protein, rich in essential amino acids fundamental for muscle growth, with the presence of bioactive fractions such as immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, very low lactose and fat content.

CARBELAC Concentrated whey protein with a high component of precious nutrient microelements which are very important for muscle growth and recovery. Since whey-derived protein sources have a rather rapid digestion, absorption and release into the bloodstream, to favor a prolonged presence of amino acidemia between meals,a portion of milk caseins is inserted to maintain a prolonged amino acid release over time.

BLEND OF CARBOHYDRATES* One of the characteristics of this new concept of meal replacement lies in the sources of carbohydrates it contains. "Old generation" Meal Replacements were characterized by the high concentration of carbohydrates which saw the prevalence of maltodextrins, which although complex carbohydrates, have a high glycemic index, which especially if taken in certain quantities, are not free from glycemic drops, digestive difficulties and gastrointestinal problems, not to mention the presence of simple carbohydrates to further complicate things, especially on the tendency to accumulate water and fat retention.

MANGOUSTA contains two types of new generation carbohydrates, in the form of MOODCARB and PALATINOSE to ensure a constant glycemic supply over time, without having excessive insulin peaks, with a pleasant palatability , which know how to satiate and are easy to digest. ModCarb is a blend formulated from six gluten-free organic cereals: oats, amaranth, buckwheat, chia, millet and quinoa, considered a unique product compared to all other cereals, a true "superfood" as it undergoes a mechanical (non-enzymatic) process ) that literally breaks down the cell wall and liberates the highly soluble matrix of nutrients, creating a free-flowing hydrocolloid-like material that also improves the flavor and texture profile of a finished product.

PALATINOSE or "isomaltulose"*, a disaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose, derived from sugar beets. This type of carbohydrate has a very pleasant taste and can be used in foods to replace table sugar. Isomaltulose has characterizing properties, such as having a low glycemic index of 32 due to the very strong chemical bond between the glucose and fructose molecules that characterizes the disaccharide, which is broken down with difficulty and slowness. It therefore stands as the ideal carbohydrate to be used in a meal replacement, as it is digested very slowly and the glucose obtained is released into the bloodstream in small quantities, without causing glycemic and insulin peaks, also placing itself as an optimal ingredient for those suffering from of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes.

HEALTHY FATS MIX Based on MCT oil, avocado and flax oil to provide a balanced amount of medium chain fats, mono and polyunsaturated fats, with a contribution of omega 3 and omega 6 in the correct proportions in order to maintain a physiological level of cholesterol, favoring the maintenance of cardiovascular health, blood sugar control and skin well-being.

CREAPURE The best form of micronized creatine monohydrate on the international market in terms of purity and solubility. Digestive enzymes and probiotics: in order to ensure better digestive efficiency and absorption of the micronutrients we introduce, keeping the delicate gastrointestinal tract healthy. It contains as many as 16 vitamins and minerals to support and maintain the metabolic reactions of our body in correct physiology, especially in the case of high demand for needs as in the case of athletes. *with the wording "sugar", at the level of ministerial legislation, all mono and disaccharide carbohydrates are considered, even if with a low glycemic index such as isomaltulose, present in the product.
