New Weight Management Solution from Glanbia Nutritionals Improves Overall Body Composition

5/5/2004

Glanbia Nutritionals introduces Prolibra® Whey Mineral Protein, an ingredient that induces positive changes in body composition by promoting fat loss while maintaining lean body mass. Prolibra is a patent-pending, dairy-derived ingredient.

All natural Prolibra is clinically proven to accelerate fat loss-inducing weight loss from fat, without sacrificing lean body mass. Another benefit of the active whey components in Prolibra is increased satiety, helping people feel full longer. Additional research, including clinical trials, is being conducted to investigate the additional health benefits of Prolibra.

According to Jerry O'Dea, President of Glanbia Nutritionals, "We are very excited to offer this natural approach to weight management. The reductions in body fat observed in the clinical trial demonstrate a significant opportunity to help people better manage their health."

Prolibra can be formulated into a variety of weight management products, including powdered beverage mixes, ready-to-drink beverages, bars and snacks.
