Our products’ nature

Inovacure products are lean and low calorie protein-rich preparations.

More than meal substitutes, they represent the new generation of protein-rich products.

 Our products

Inovacure proposes a line of  27 delicious flavours.  Products are packaged in boxes of  7 servings.  These products garantee you are getting essential nutrients.

They help reach satiety and contribute to the success of the weight loss program.

 Our recipes

Recommend the combination of  Inovacure pouches with vegetables, spices, seasoningsor several fruits for the transition and the maintenance phases.  Suggest mixing several Inovacure pouches to create new flavours.

Recommend the incorporation of  Inovacure pouches into light dairy products.

 Our proteins

Our proteins contain all 22 amino acids, including the 9 essential ones.  Inovacure uses milk proteins as its main ingredient (milk protein concentrate, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate).  Milk proteins are naturally well balanced in essential amino acids.  Proteins are extracted by ultrafiltration.  Vegetable proteins (soy protein isolate) are added in certain products for technological reasons.  Products also contain animal proteins (bovine) in the form of hydrolyzed gelatin to confer a pleasant mouthfeel to products.

Our protein quality assurance

Proteins are not all equal as to their nutritional content.  Vegetable proteins are deficient in tryptophane, lysine and methionine, 3 essential amino acids.  They are also not absorbed as well by the body:their digestive use coefficient is on average 60% vs 100% for animal proteins.Les p

Protein’s digestion speed

In 1997, Bernard Beaufrère’s team from Clermont-Ferland’s human nutritionresearch laboratory discovered that whey proteins are more rapidly digested than caseins.  That’s when we started distinguishing between «slow» proteins, highly efficient from a metabolic point of view (they have a powerfulanti-catabolic action) and «fast» proteins. 

Conclusion?

Slowly digested proteins like casein, found predominantly in Inovacure protein powders, promotes their good metabolic utilization.  This metabolic utilization leads to a good protein synthesis and to a good body muscle mass protection for the consumer.

 Understanding protein’s thermogenic action

The eating action produces a thermogenic phenomenon caused by increased activity in the digestive system.  Even if proteins bring as many calories as carbohydrates, they however do not have the same effect in the body more than 25% of ingested calories are indeed wasted as body heat vs only 10% for sugars and 1% for fat. It’s probably because proteins are harder to digest.

Also remember that more than every other protein, casein, which is found in great proportions in Inovacure products, is a particularly thermogenicprotein, therefore very efficient in increasing fat loss while preserving the muscle mass.

 Tryptophane / free amino acids ratio

Tryptophane is the precursor for serotonine, a neurotransmitter acting on thesatiety center to reduce appetite.  An increase in the concentration oftryptophane induces an increase in the secretion of serotonine.  During the transfer of amino acids from the blood to the brain, tryptophane iscompeting with free amino acids.  The higher the tryptophane / free amino acidsratio, the more important is the cerebral transport, increasing the synthesis ofserotonine.  The tryptophane / free amino acids ratio of  INOVACURE proteins seems generally higher than that of standard food proteins.

The consumption of Inovacure proteins, by stimulating the synthesis ofserotonine, would therefore be a factor in appetite reduction.

Reduced carbohydrate and low glycemic index carbohydrate

Our ancestors have always, for millions of years, only seen low glycemic indexfoods (roots, tubers, plants, fruits with their bark or skin).  The body has adaptedaccordingly, it is therefore very poorly equipped to ingest high GI foods whichprovide an abrupt influx of glucose into the body.  In order to capture the excessof blood glucose, the body must mobilize important quantities of insulin, the fat stocking hormone.  When glucose peaks become too frequent, cells end up ignoring the hormone injections and they become insulin resistant.

 The ideal treatment for everyone, even Type 2 diabetics

Inovacure’s nutritional approach favours low glycemic index foods : on the onehand by the choice of suggested foods (whole grain bread, dairy products, fruits)(maintenance phase) and on the other hand by the product composition.  Carbohydrates used in formulas are reduced and low GI sugars.

The Inovacure product line is therefore an excellent choice for diabetics.

 The assurance of the highest food safety

 Methods are not all created equal.  Let’s explore other options available to those wishing to modify their eating  habits and to lose weight.

Weight loss methods

 The low-calorie diet

Balanced diet with 12-15% proteins, 50-55% carbohydrates and 30-35% lipids.  Daily calorie intake reduced by 1/3 compared to normal consumption. Very slow weight loss for patients with normally low calorie intake.  Protein deficiency caused by the global energetic ratio decrease, threatening the muscle mass. Compliance is difficult if patients cannot distinguish allowed and prohibited foods.  Frequent hunger.  Giving up.

 Dissociated diets

Diets based on food combinations principles result in weight gain.  Eating only one type of food per day.The cabbage soup diet The Atkins diet (total exclusion of carbohydrate, but unlimited consumption of protein and lipids)  The Mayo-Clinic diet which suggests the exclusive consumption of eggs, grapefruit,green vegetables, coffee and tea.  The Scarsdale diet, very restrictive, whereby every day corresponds to the consumption of specific products without the possibility of alternatives.  Weight Watchers calorie intake reduction. 

Not all methods are created equal.  Let’s explore other options available to those wishing to modify their eating habits and to lose weight.

 Behind simplicity : tiredness and deficiencies

These diets are simple but they exhaust the body because, when protein is absent, weight loss occurs to the detriment of the lean mass (muscle).  These diets do not permit any food nor social education.  They induce deficiencies and various excess.
