1. Peptide Technology ~ Probita
By: Dr. Charlie Rouse, R.Ph.,N.M.D.
Welcome to the world of … “Peptide Technology”
Probita is very specialized collagen protein supplement which has been developed using the most advanced
technology and means of preparation in the world. The final product is the "cleanest" most "absorbable" form of
collagen protein that exist on the market today. This high-end collagen is the newest version of hydrolyzed
collagen protein that is enzymatically prepared with unique fruit enzymes to produce very small peptides --
measured in "daltons." That's tiny…making it highly bio compatible and bio identical to the body.
The World Health Organization has established some very amiable goals for protein evaluation; however, the
hydrolyzed amino acid profiles in the Probita are "peptides" and as yet we don't have a true PDCAAS score for
these awesome bio available amino acids. They are the most bio-identical form of amino acid structure and are
thus 100% absorbable and assimilated. If you look at protein from whey, soy, hemp, or pea, the pasteurization
process "warps" some of the molecules, so we are not truly building by "code" nor comparing "apples to
apples" when compared to the protein found in Probita. For the average amino acid protein drink or capsule,
the stomach can only absorb and utilize a maximum of 8 grams in 60 minutes with a 90 minutes total transition
time. This means that the maximum absorption from 40 or 50 grams of protein the body can only absorb a
maximum of 12 grams; and this depends of a healthy stomach. If someone has taken a Tagamet, Zantac,
Maalox, Rolaids, or Prilosec, they definitely do not have a healthy stomach. Our peptide protein is a 4 gram
protein chew and is 100% absorbable because the peptides are much "smaller" than the amino acids in other
forms of protein supplementation. Whatever amount of Probita chews one embarks on…is the amount of
amino acids that will be imputed into the physiological system.
One of the major reasons the "collagen" protein from bovine sources was chosen is the hydroxylysine and
hydroxylproline amino acids. They are unique to collagen and these are the two amino acid structures that
have been proven in double-blind medical studies to be most beneficial for arterial health. So much so, that
these two amino acids are capable of keeping the arteries clean and even helping to clear out clog arteries in
due time.
The highest percentage amino acid in collagen is "glycine" and this proves out to be a marvelous thing
because it’s so beneficial to neurotransmitters of the brain, ie...better focus, concentration, memory, alertness
and even better sleep patterns -- quicker to fall asleep and produces a deeper, rejuvenating sleep.
Below is my latest research and a quick overview on Probita as to the safety and effectiveness of this unique
source of Collagen Protein.
Probita ~ Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein
Bovine collagen, which is what Probita is derived from, provides a wealth of natural enzymes, vitamins,
minerals and other valuable biochemicals such as a plethora of amino acids (19 in total). We add a twentieth
amino acid called L-tryptophan to give it a complete spectrum profile. High-quality raw materials is the
source. Healthy, range-fed cattle that have not been exposed to herbicides, pesticides, hormones or
antibiotics. The dermis layer of the cow that is grass-fed is much higher in amino acid content and valuable
biochemical factors because of the nutritional status of the cattle.
Making sure the bovine material is pure and high-quality is the first step in the preparation procedure. The
tissue is thoroughly checked for Salmonella, E-Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy, and other harmful bacteria or viruses. The raw material that is in ProBita is guaranteed to be
free from disease, abnormality, or contamination. Our manufacturers keep an extensive file of all their lab
analyses and utilizes an FDA-registered manufacturer for product assimilation.

2. Predigestion is a must to make the collagen hydrolyzed. The resulting “soluble concentrate” is more easily
digested and better absorbed by the human body. We use plant enzymes from special fruits to partially digest
and hydrolyze the bovine material. After the concentrate is partially digested, it then goes through a process of
filtration to separate out large protein molecules. This method of extraction is especially ideal for the bovine
collagen, where the most valuable compounds are the polypeptide (small amino acid chains) and other water-
soluble fractions.
Cold-Processed is used to avoid high temperatures that would destroy and damage the natural material. (It
behooves me how today’s whey protein powders have been pasteurized and still expect the total amino acid to
be functional). Our high-tech processing also allows the drying to occur with virtually no loss of the vital
nutrients. As a result, the collagen protein contains the same nutrients (amino acids) as found in the human
body and in the same sizes the human body utilizes (making it the most bio-identical). The low-temperature,
gentle drying cycle ensures that the biologically active state of all co-factors and amino acid peptides remain
intact. Thus our product has a higher concentration of unaltered protein as near as possible to the human
body. Our manufacturer gives us hydrolyzed collagen protein that has been concentrated and standardized for
polypeptide content. As a wise company, Visi hires professionals with well-known reputations and service
because Visi only wants good results. The biologically active material such as enzymes, soluble proteins,
natural lipid factors, vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional precursors could be destroyed or eliminated if the
product is not prepared properly. The fruit enzyme hydrolyzed collagen protein concentrates are the most
effective. Because the amino acid peptides are predigested by enzymatic therapy, the body can assimilate the
natural factors quickly and easily (100% assimilation).
Because bovine collagen is lacking in only one amino acid, L-tryptophan, we are able to add this one amino
acid into the polypeptide blend in the manufacturing processes.
By the way, while this type of peptide technology is new and totally unique to us, it has in fact been extensively
“tested” on many thousands of individuals over decades in Russia. Russia founded the peptide technology
during the Cold War years as a “military secret.” They were looking for ways to protect the troops while in the
battlefield. The world of laser technology and radioactive nuclear reactors were coming onto the world market,
and science was seeking protection insurance.
What was found in the Russian research was that peptides were very bioactive upon different organ systems.
The science of peptides has advanced to the point of preventing age related diseases and restoring disordered
body functions. To isolate small peptides, which consist of three bound amino acids, from animal tissue, has
electrified the nutraceutical world. They found that the efficacy of these small peptides is high and they exert
their effect in minimal doses.
Fundamentally, these small peptides reveal activity by manifesting stimulation of protein synthesis of specific
tissues in the human body (better hair, nail, skin, organs, glands, eyes, muscles, fiber, sinew, and the list goes
on and on).
Visi insist on unsurpassed quality and safety before any product is released from the warehouse to the
consumer. Visi takes great pride in the standards they have set for all of their products.
Safety Issues are all in our favor. In the Russian trials, single doses that were 5,000 times greater than the
normal therapeutic doses did not trigger any serious reactions. Even the long-term administration of the amino
acid peptides at doses between 100 and 1000 times the regular therapeutic doses had no reported side effects
and there are no known contraindications.

3. Benefits of Collagen Protein ~ Peptides
o Would you like to feel young again?
o Do you suffer from arthritis? Fibromyalgia? Muscle and joint pain? Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Osteoarthritis? Degenerative joint disease?
o Cartilage contains 67 times more collagen than glucosamine (Cartilage is 67% collagen + 32% other +
only 1% glucosamine)
o So why take glucosamine when you can take collagen peptides – a 100% pure product?
o Nearly 1/3 of body is composed of collagen.
o Collagen is known as the “glue of life” and it represents the most abundant structural protein in your
body.
o Collagen is essential for proper repair and rejuvenation as well as for correct cell and organ function.
o Collagen supports connective tissues that are responsible for maintaining strength and flexibility of
bones, joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails, blood vessels, and much more.
o After age 35, the body’s collagen-creating process slows down considerably.
o Without collagen, aches and pains begin to develop, add-on body fat forms, and your skin will begin to
dry out, wrinkle, and lose its youthful vitality.
o Probita provides an exclusive collagen peptide matrix formula that helps optimize and maintain your
body’s production of essential collagen needed for fast and powerful repair and rejuvenation.
o Probita helps decrease joint pain – even those due to injury – by supporting joint function and cartilage
healthiness.
o Improves muscle mass (overcoming sarcopenia).
o Better skin tone and texture.
o Probita is a great source of pure, unadulterated protein – 4,000mg per chew (you would have to
swallow 6 or more capsules to get a singe dose of such high quality protein in a single serving size).
o Probita can be taken before exercise and it will increase lean muscle mass and improve stamina, thus
resulting in shorter recovery time.
o 100% non-pasteurized collagen with no fillers, additives or preservatives.
o Better body movement.
o Even improves energy, stamina and vitality.
o Enhances sleep quality and mental acuity (brain neurotransmitters get adjusted).
o A missing link to total bone health – stronger, more flexible bones.
o You can’t build a house with only “some” of the required materials – your body has to produce collagen,
otherwise the body will not be built properly.
o Collagen provides the bone-cushioning effects.
o Peptides have many amazing properties that protect us and benefit our health.
o The efficacy of small peptides is high and they exert their effect at minimal doses.
o Small peptides activate by manifesting the stimulation of protein synthesis of specific body tissues (this
is called reinvigoration).
o Enhancement & improvement occurs to the original peptide that is being refurbished – such as testes,
adrenal glands, eye retina, prostate.
o Collagen helps “kick start” the body into doing more, like when it was younger.
o The reinvigoration appears to continue on for some considerable time, long after the last peptide has
been chewed (thus, results are more lasting).
o Peptides are not hormones per-se, rather they instruct the particular gland that produces the hormone,
“to get to work.”
o Peptides turn on the good “gene switches.”
o Peptides are the best for healthy aging.
o Sarcopenia (muscle wasting) impacts 45% of people over age 60 and approximately 20% of those over
60 are classified as functionally disabled due to loss of skeletal muscle. Age of sarcopenia onset – 45.
o As muscle mass declines so does the muscle strength (doing chores, taking walks, climbing stairs
becomes increasingly difficult).
o It doesn’t have to happen!
o Use it or lose it applies.
o Peptides (rich in creatine phosphate) allow the muscles to recover from intense activity much faster.
o Peptides regenerate muscle-fueling ATP.

4. o ATP is the primary compound that converts food into energy.
o ATP produced in the mitochondria from the aerobic metabolism of fats and carbohydrates must be
transported to the site of muscular contraction – this is the job of amino acid peptides.
o The peptides “shuttle” the ATP energy to the contractile elements where they can be used to fuel
activity.
o Peptides delay muscle fatigue, speed recovery.
o Average person ages of 30 to 60 loses ½ pound of muscle mass each year and at the same time, gains
1 pound of fat each year – a major shift in body composition.
o Muscle is the body’s most metabolically active tissue, therefore metabolism is drastically altered when
muscle mass decreases.
o Loss of muscle mass affects one’s appearance, impacts the immune system, increases risk of injury,
and can even be related to degeneration in diabetes and osteoporosis.
o Decline in muscle mass indicates a decline in muscle protein content (especially myosin heavy chain
protein and mitochondrial protein)
o To augment the effects of resistance exercise, take the amino acid peptides immediately after the
exercise training.
o Amino acid peptides uniquely bypass the digestive process to insure effective absorption and utilization
by the body.
o Collagen molecules are particularly rich in the amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxylysine, and
hydroxyproline – the latter two of which are rarely found in proteins other than collagen.
o The amino acid glycine improves sleep quality – fall asleep faster and enter into the “slow wave” sleep
(deep sleep) significantly faster as well.
o Improves performance on memory recognition tasks – “liveliness and peppiness,” and “clear-
headedness.”
o Lysine and proline are two amino acids necessary for healthy blood vessel wall cells.
o Without lysine and proline there will be instability of vessel walls, cracks and lesions, and
atherosclerotic deposits.
o Lysine and proline support healthy collagen production, stability of artery walls, and reversal of plaques.
