Everee #2 - Balance Support

Everee #2 contains Ovitage® the world’s most complete collagen derived from whole ovine skin and produced using a proprietary process that isolates all of the skin's important components, including structural proteins well beyond the collagen I and III common in traditional collagen products.

This composition is boosted by nutrient dense sheep milk. The result is a protein powder rich in amino acids that provide the balance needed to support stress response, energy levels, lean body mass and nourish beauty from within.

Scientific study shows that increasing tyrosine through short term or long term protein ingestion raises brain tyrosine levels which supports dopamine (and other catecholamine) production, specifically targeted at actively firing neurons (1). With substantially higher tyrosine than traditional collagen, the Ovitage® in Everee #2 provides the key building blocks for dopamine production and so for stress and mood control.

The metabolic pathways of glutathione and taurine are known as essential for combating acute and chronic tissue stress from physical exercise and due to emotional and environmental stressors (2,3). The glutathione cycle is known to be more effected by exercise in females compared to males (4). Both pathways are dependent on the sulfur amino acid cysteine, and cystine-rich protein has been shown to support the body’s ability to make and store glutathione (5) and respond to acute stress.

The Ovitage® in Everee #2 has substantially more cystine (in the form of cysteic acid) than traditional bovine or marine collagen and so supports the body when experiencing acute and chronic oxidative stress.

Branched chain amino acids such as isoleucine, leucine and valine are important for supporting lean body mass (6) following exercise. The Ovitage® in Everee #2 provides approximately 3x more of these crucial amino acids than traditional bovine or marine collagen and as a result assists in developing lean muscle during training. In addition, high cystine proteins have demonstrated the ability to contribute further to lean body mass. A scientific study of endurance cyclists showed substantial increase in lean body mass of their legs as a result of a high cystine protein diet, compared to the dairy protein control (7). Ovitage® in Everee #2 contains substantially higher cystine oxidised to cysteic acid than conventional collagen and so supports this lean muscle development.

In addition to providing a richer source of calcium than conventional milk, scientific studies of the sheep milk in Everee #2 have also shown increase branched chain amino acid concentrations (including leucine, valine and isoleucine) in women consuming sheep milk (8). The combination in Everee #2 is well suited to support the development of lean body mass and support bone health. 

Taurine is essential in energy metabolism and is the basis for the majority of energy drinks. Taurine metabolism requires high concentrations of cysteine or its oxidised form cysteic acid. The Ovitage® in Everee #2 uniquely provide this amino acid due to the novel process involved in extracting proteins from whole ovine skin. High cystine proteins have been shown to boost taurine levels (5) and so boost energy metabolism. The same study also showed a production of glutathione, the master antioxidant in the cell responsible for overcoming fatigue arising from acute and chronic stress, including the physical stress associated with exercise. By supporting these two important pathways the Ovitage® in Everee #2 provides the body with the essential components to support sustained energy.

Collagen IV is the junctional protein responsible for joining the layers of the skin together and acting in each hair follicle to anchor hair in the head. Peptides containing oxidised cystine, such as those in Everee #2 have been shown to increase collagen IV production in the skin and in the hair follicle and so support skin firmness as well as follicle health (9). Cystine is also the amino acid responsible for strong and healthy nails. Due to its source, the Ovitage® in Everee #2 has substantially greater amounts of cystine than any other collagen or common dietary protein sources such as whey or soy.
