Consuming protein does not help you lose weight faster; however, including the Biocare beverage will help you consume protein throughout the day and meet other nutrient requirements. By better meeting your protein requirements — plus satisfying 100 percent of essential nutrient needs every day — you will be supporting lean muscle mass as you lose body fat. During your weight loss journey, this means you will better able to maintain a higher resting energy expenditure, potentially avoiding weight loss stalls/plateaus and help maintain the healthier weight you achieve.

Recommended protein intake varies from person to person. Most individuals benefit from taking two (2) Biocare beverages daily. Taking more than two may be advised for certain individuals, but it is recommended to consult a registered dietitian for a personalized meal plan. Consult a medical provider if you have specific questions about the amount of protein supplements to include in your regular diet.

Each serving of Biocare provides 20 grams of protein, which is the same amount of protein in a three ounce chicken breast. Drinking just one Biocare beverage per day would be okay; however, it is important to make sure the rest of your protein intake is adequate to meet your daily protein needs. Consult with a medical professional and registered dietitian to ensure you are meeting your protein needs.

There is not a one-size-fits-all all model when it comes to the timing of your Biocare beverage. It will vary based on your own schedule, comfort and hunger needs. When thinking about how the beverage would work best for you, ask yourself, “Is there a meal I often skip?” or “Is there a period of time I go longer between eating because I’m not hungry?” If you can identify a meal you often skip — or a longer stretches of time between eating — these are perfect opportunities to include a serving of Biocare to keep your body fueled with protein and essential nutrients.

How and when you drink your beverage is based on your preferences and food tolerance. Some people may find that consuming a six (6) ounce serving of Biocare is the perfect amount to be comfortable. Others may want to consume it with some solid food so they don’t feel too full too quickly. It is best to experiment with what feels best for you. If you feel uncomfortably full, plan to take the beverage during times when you have not consumed any protein for more than two-to-three hours.

Experimenting with your diet, timing of meals and portion sizes can typically help alleviate nausea associated with GLP-1 medication use. Biocare includes ingredients that can help alleviate the nausea associated with taking this type of medication.* Work with a registered dietitian to find a routine that works best for you.

Each serving of Biocare includes six (6) grams of fiber from soluble prebiotic fiber and are complemented by a digestively stable probiotic. These are included to promote digestive and gut health, and help to reduce gastrointestinal side effects that are commonly associated with GLP-1 medication use. Soluble prebiotic fiber is able to lower the occurrence of diarrhea and reduce constipation. The digestively stable probiotics can also help reduce bloating and gastric discomfort associated with GLP-1 medications. Together, pre and probiotics can enhance nutrient absorption and help balance the gut microbiome to improve digestive health and well-being. The blend of fiber and probiotic may create a more regular bowel pattern and reduce the gastrointestinal side effects of GLP-1 medication use.

Biocare beverages include a specialized blend of digestive enzyme, licorice root extract and a unique form of zinc — along with prebiotic fibers and a probiotic to help alleviate gastrointestinal side effects (such as nausea and constipation) that are associated with taking weight loss medications.*

Sometimes adding frozen elements such as ice cubes or a small portion (¼ cup) frozen fruit can change the texture and the flavor. Keep in mind that adding fruit will add to the calorie and carbohydrate content of the beverage. Flavor extracts, like orange or almond, are another option — just check that they don’t add sugar or calories. Work with a registered dietitian for ways to incorporate “add-ins” that will fit easily into your overall meal plan.

One Biocare beverages contains 11-13 grams of total carbohydrates (depending on flavor), including six (6) grams of dietary fiber. Each serving also includes healthy fat and protein. This macronutrient combination will prevent blood glucose highs and lows. This supplement is a good addition to a diabetic diet. Please consult with an endocrinologist or medical professional for specific questions.

The proteins in Biocare are a specially balanced blend of whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate. Whey proteins are quickly and easily digested and absorbed compared to other protein sources. The efficient absorption of whey protein ensures the delivery of amino acids needed to protect lean muscle mass. Because GLP-1 medications slow the rate of digestion, whey protein is a great option for improving protein absorption. Leucine — an essential amino acid needed to initiate protein production and aids in muscle preservation — is also added to help maintain muscle integrity during sustained weight reduction.

Biocare is a whey-based protein supplement. Whey is a milk derived protein, so it would be suitable for lacto-vegetarians and individuals who consume dairy products.

Although dairy products and dairy isolates are included in Biocare, these drinks contain very little lactose and are generally tolerated well by those who are lactose intolerant. If you are lactose intolerant, consult with a medical professional before starting any new product.

Biocare contains natural sweeteners including monk fruit extract, stevia leaf extract, and licorice root extract. These are generally well-tolerated sweeteners. If you are concerned with the use of these sweeteners, please consult a medical professional before including them in your diet.

One serving of Biocare beverage includes 11-13 grams of total carbohydrates, and six (6) grams of dietary fiber, thus providing only seven (7) grams net carbs. This fits nicely into most ketogenic meal plans. Please refer to a registered dietitian or medical professional for an individualized plan that includes the total grams of carbohydrates recommended per day to remain in ketosis.

Biocare is safe to consume even without taking a weight loss medication. The macronutrient profile would fit nicely into a low carbohydrate meal plan for weight loss as supplemental protein.

Biocare helps preserve muscle during weight loss or reduced calorie intake while using GLP-1 medications with its special blend of whey protein concentrate and isolate. These proteins are more easily digested and absorbed than other sources, allowing for efficient delivery of amino acids crucial for protecting lean muscle mass. This is especially beneficial with GLP-1 medications, which slow digestion, making whey protein an excellent choice for improved absorption. Biocare also includes added leucine, a key amino acid that stimulates muscle protein synthesis, aiding in muscle tissue repair and growth.

Biocare is manufactured in a facility that is registered and inspected by the FDA and is labeled in compliance with FDA regulations for dietary supplements. While the FDA does not "approve" dietary supplements in the same manner as drugs, Biocare meets FDA standards for safety, quality, and efficacy.

GLP-1 medications are known to delay gastric emptying as part of their mechanism of action. This slower movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine helps control blood sugar levels and promotes satiety. However, it can also lead to side effects like nausea, vomiting, and bloating. While Biocare is not specifically designed to treat gastroparesis, its formulation aims to address some of the nutritional challenges and gastrointestinal side effects that individuals with gastroparesis may face, especially when using GLP-1 medications.* Please consult with your physician or healthcare provider before using Biocare if you have been diagnosed with gastroparesis.

Food tolerances for individuals on GLP-1 medications will vary. If you feel uncomfortably full or nauseous after consuming a full serving of Biocare, we recommend reducing the portion size to half a serving, consuming the two recommended daily servings over four eating occasions. However, it is essential to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice to ensure you meet your daily protein and dietary requirements. Biocare beverages are intended to be consumed within 15 to 20 minutes of mixing. For a half serving, mix half the powder from a packet with 3 oz of water. Seal the remaining powder in a zip-lock or other airtight bag to preserve freshness and flavor until your next serving.
