What is Proform?
Proform is a versatile and simple to
use Formulated Meal Replacement,
that can provide additional energy,
protein, vitamins and minerals where
intake from the current diet is
inadequate.
What is a formulated meal
replacement?
A Formulated Meal Replacement is
a dietary supplement designed to
provide the nutrients and energy
required by the body in the form of
a drink. These are commonly used
during times of illness or when it is
not possible to eat the required
amount of food to provide the body
with its required nutrients. It is not
a complete meal replacement,
therefore both energy and nutrients
are required to be consumed from
dietary sources in addition to the
recommended 60g per day of
Proform. It can also be used in
smaller amounts to supplement a
diet lacking in nutrients or for those
requiring more energy and protein
in their daily diets.
What does Proform taste like?
Neutral Proform has a pleasant but bland
flavour, some say that it is similar to skim
milk. It is not sweet and can be added
to both sweet and savoury foods and
beverages without affecting the flavour
of that food. eg. Porridge or custard.
Vanilla Proform has a sweeter flavour
and is ideal as a drink mixed with water
or milk. It is made using Vanilla beans.
How should I use Proform?
Proform powder can be mixed with water
or milk to make a pleasant drink, which can
also be flavoured. Neutral Proform also
mixes well in orange juice and any soup.
‘Wet’ dishes like porridge, casseroles or
dishes with a creamy sauce are also ideal
to mix Proform into. Neutral Proform also
mixes well directly into tea or coffee
instead of liquid milk.
How long can I keep Proform
for?
An unopened tin of Proform has a ‘shelflife’of
3 years. Once open, the plastic lid
should always be kept on and only dry
utensils used to measure it out, Proform
should be used within 2 months of opening.
Does Proform contain sugar?
No, there is no added sucrose (table sugar)
in Proform. It contains another carbohydrate,
maltodextren, which is not sweet and
breaks down to glucose in the body.
Proform also contains lactose, the natural
sugar found in milk.
