Syntha 6 Information

There are many protein supplements available on the market. These supplements make it easier for people to get the protein they need daily. Syntha 6 is a protein supplement in powder form that mixes easily with milk or water. Here is a look at the ingredients in Syntha 6, and the benefits that can be obtained by using this protein supplement.

  1. Identification

    • Syntha 6 is made by BSN Nutrition. BSN has been providing nutritional supplements since 2001, and has an extensive line of supplements available. Many of its products stack well together or work well on their own. BSN supplements are sold worldwide, in vitamin stores or online at bodybuilding and nutritional websites.

    Ingredients

    • Syntha 6 protein mix contains a mixture of proteins such as whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, casein protein and egg protein. In addition, it contains Richmix sunflower powder, MCT powder, egg albumen, Litesse II Polydextrose, natural and artificial flavors and colors, cellulose gum, natural vegetable color, Splenda, accesulfame potassium, lecithin soy, aminogen and papain. Syntha 6 contains vitamins and essential amino acids that help the body to recover and grow lean muscle tissue.

    Function

    • BSN's Syntha 6 protein contains a mixture of extended-release proteins. It is meant to give the body the protein it needs over time. This makes it an ideal protein powder to take before bed, to have a steady supply of protein available in the body overnight. Syntha 6 is also a good protein supplement to take during the day. However, because it is an extended-release protein, it is not an optimal protein to consume immediately after a workout; following an intense workout, the body is need of protein quickly. A faster acting whey only protein will deliver the protein the body needs to recover, more quickly than Syntha 6.

    Types

    • Syntha 6 comes in a wide variety of flavors so there is something for everyone. A few of the flavors are chocolate, caramel latte, chocolate peanut butter and strawberry milk shake. Syntha 6 is priced at around $30 for the 2.91 lbs. size and $43 for the 5.04 lb size (as of 2009). It is fortified with Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), fiber, vitamins, fats, and is nutritionally complete enough to use as a meal replacement.

    Considerations

    • This product is a protein supplement, and not intended to be the body's sole source of nutrition. The key to a healthy diet is eating a balance of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
