UltraMeal® Plus

Nutritional Support for the Management of Conditions Associated with Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease

UltraMeal Plus is a medical food formulated with a proprietary soy protein and plant sterol blend to nutritionally support the management of conditions associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertension. UltraMeal Plus—along with a low-glycemic-index dietary program and regular exercise—has been clinically tested and shown to improve important markers of cardiovascular health and support a healthy body composition (a healthy ratio of lean muscle mass to fat mass).

Benefits

  • Provides 2 grams of plant sterols per serving. The NIH recommends consumption of 2 grams of plant sterols to promote healthy cholesterol levels. Foods containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
  • Supplies a low-glycemic-index formula for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome patients.
  • Provides a full complement of vitamins and minerals, including non-dairy calcium and chromium.

Recommended Use

Blend, shake, or briskly stir about 2 level scoops (48 grams) of UltraMeal Plus into 8 fluid ounces of chilled water twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Serving Size: About 2 Scoops (46 g)


WARNING: Excess vitamin A intake may be toxic and may increase the risk of birth defects. Pregnant women and women who may become pregnant should not exceed 5000 IU of preformed vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) per day.

Who would benefit from UltraMeal PLUS® Medical Food?
People with conditions related to metabolic syndrome and heart disease, such as high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol and/or triglycerides.

How does UltraMeal PLUS® Medical Food work?
It provides the same natural, research-based ingredients as original UltraMeal® Medical Food, plus the daily recommended intake of plant sterols (in 2 servings). This novel combination provides targeted nutrition for a safer approach to help manage blood pressure, blood sugar/insulin levels, and blood lipid levels (cholesterol, triglycerides). And it's formulated for use with lifestyle recommendations (low-glycemic-load diet, exercise) to help reduce risk to heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

How does UltraMeal® PLUS Medical Food compare to other products or approaches?
Lifestyle therapy is recommended as a first line of therapy for conditions associated with metabolic syndrome and heart disease. In a 12-week clinical study conducted at the FMRC, this program** improved markers of cardiovascular health to a greater degree than a popular heart disease diet and identical exercise recommendations. In a separate 12-week clinical study, this program** improved markers of cardiovascular health more effectively than the same diet and exercise recommendations alone. And it contains only natural ingredients for a safer approach. (**2 daily servings of UltraMeal Plus, along with a low-glycemic-load diet and exercise recommendations.)

How long is UltraMeal® PLUS typically recommended?
For cholesterol management, the NIH advises a 12-week follow-up for blood work to measure lifestyle therapy effectiveness. With this program, many people report changes such as increased energy and reduced waist size in just a few weeks. Those monitoring blood sugar at home may notice improvements soon after starting the program. This product may also be recommended for long-term support. Follow your health care provider's recommendations for best results.

Why is UltraMeal® PLUS Medical Food safe?
Medical foods must contain ingredients generally regarded as safe (GRAS) or be FDA approved, and Metagenics continually evaluates formula ingredients in concert with current nutritional research for optimal safety and effectiveness. Plus, Metagenics' manufacturing facility has 3 certifications for good manufacturing practices to ensure the highest quality. (UltraMeal PLUS 360º RICE Medical Food offers an alternative for those with hyperlipidemia who may be sensitive to soy.)
