What’s the Difference: Protein vs Meal Replacements?

What’s the Difference: Protein vs Meal Replacements?

Dietitians often tell us that they treat each patient as an individual and address their specific nutritional needs rather than giving blanket advice that might not work for everyone.

UNJURY® has a diverse line of products to help you do exactly that. 

Besides recommending UNJURY® for its great taste, superior tolerability and trusted ingredients, you can also recommend products it for each patient’s unique needs. 

Some patients may need a protein supplement, while others may need a complete meal replacement.

Many people ask, “What is the difference?”

UNJURY® Protein or UNJURY® Protein Centric Meal Replacement?

The good news is that both options are filled with the high-quality, great tasting whey protein isolates that UNJURY® is known for.  You can’t go wrong with either choice, however one option might fit their needs better depending on where they are in their weight loss journey.

For most bariatric POST-op bariatric surgery patients, we generally recommend UNJURY® Protein Supplement, provided they are taking the recommended bariatric multivitamins.

If they are on a specific Weight Loss Plan, either product is a good choice.
