1 in 2 homes have a protein shake - but is it going to help your health, or hurt it? On this blog we learn about shakes and ingredients.

I have been asked why it is easier to lose weight or build muscle, or get healthier heart, bones, gut with Jump to Health than other shakes. Some people have tried to follow our Keto program, or our 2 shake a day program with other shakes – and not lost weight.
That is because there are a lot of not so good shakes on the market. And because not every company follows rules for PDCAAS scores. You can see products claim ‘protein’ on their label – to find out its gelatin – or collagen – not complete proteins, and not going to build lean muscle or boost your health.
cartons of a dozen eggs. It’s a lot.

And now we have a bunch of companies marketing shakes to those on Ozempic or Wegovy, to help prevent muscle loss. Yes – you need to eat more protein if you are taking the shot. And you can’teat healthy foods like broccoli or cauliflower – which is why I say give us a chance first. You heard Emory – he lost 14.5 lbs in 30 days. That is weight loss you notice. Go pick up 3 packs of potatoes and walk around a store, or imagine 10
This past week I talked to someone who won’t try our shake – because their doctor recommended they drink Ensure instead. What they don’t realize is Ensure is promoted by a drug company, Abbott Labs. Drug companies spend a lot of money having Sales reps visit doctors offices and drop off samples, lunches and other information. Doctors will likely listen to a drug company because they get more training in medication. In their career they get on average only 8 hours of nutrition training but they get thousands of visits and information on drugs. So when a drug company recommends a shake – they listen. Not because its’ the best shake. And nutritionists that work for a hospital or medical practice are required to promote what the hospital says – not necessarily what is best.
I don’t recommend Ensure for weight management – my opinion is that it is lower quality and will make you lose lean muscle. So letscompare.
Ensure original is 220 calories. Our shake blended with fruit and milk or almond or soy milk is about that too.
They have 6 gr fat – we have about half of that.
They have 34 grams of carbs – we have 1/3 of that and ours is from fiber and has a net carb of 1.5.
They have net carbs of 29 including 10 gr of sugar.
They have only 3 grams of fiber – or ½ of what we do. They are not a full serving of fiber. Their fiber is coming from the gum thickeners, ours is coming from a clinically studied, patented prebiotic fiber shown to boost the good probiotics in your gut up to 40%, and boost immune health, regularity, satiety, and can help balance your hunger hormones too.
They have 10 gr of sugar – and also have sucralose. So 10 gr of sugar is not necessarily good for a diabetic or prediabetic in one drink. They have more sugar than protein.
Let that sink in. more sugar than protein.
Jump To Health has a clinically studied, natural sweetener shown to help control blood sugar in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. The FDA is considering allowing us to remove it from the sugar portion of the label because of that.
Protein – they have 9 grams. Only 9 grams! That is not enough for a meal. That is like eating 1 egg.
A meal should be 25-30 grams. They are 9 and their protein includes non-fat milk, along with milk protein concentrate and a little soy isolate. So you are pretty much getting sugared milk.
Our shake provides the amount for a meal -25-30 grams and is a higher quality protein. We use whey hydrolysate, which is 99% absorbable along with whey isolate which is 90% absorbable, and whey concentrate that is 80-85% absorbable – and that is before we add in Aminogen that boosts absorption into lean muscel 45%.
And more protein too – 33% more protein even before adding milk. If you remove milk from their label you are getting about 2 grams of protein from the soy isolate. Think on that.
We add in Aminogen – a patented and clinically studied digestive enzyme shown to increase the amount of protein you absorb into your lean muscle +45% more. They do not have a digestive enzyme. We have AstraGin – a clinically studied nutrient to boost protein absorption another 25%, along with boosting vitamin and mineral absorption +47% and more. So our shake is good for muscle, digestion, regularity, immunity, probiotics.
And look at the order of the nutrients on Ensure. The first ingredient is water, followed by corn maltodextrin, followed by sugar – milk protein is the 4th item. The soy isolate – the higher absorbing protein is #6, after oils.
JTH – the first ingredient is protein, then protein, thenp rebioticfiber. Then protein. We also use natural flavors – they do not.
Cost – they are $1.62 a serving on Amazon prime. Ok. That is about $0.50 less a serving, for 60% less protein, no prebiotic fiber, no digestive enzymes, no mineral booster. To get the same nutrition you’d need to add Aminogen - $1.00 a serving on Amazon, add AstraGin – about $0.50 a serving, add prebiotic Fiber about $0.70 a serving, and add our sweetener to help control blood sugar – about $0.40 a serving $3.82 a serving to get similar nutrition as ours for $2.40 a serving when mixed as directed. 30 days = $43 more per month than our shake. Or you could get 2 bags of ours for the price of theirs with adding fiber, enzymes, and nutrients.
So you can see that you get better value and better health boosting power with Jump To Health.
But ok – that is a drug store brand. What if we look at a sports supplement store – GNC Ideal Shake.
Think it's better because it's in a store? Lets compare:
Cost =$3.12 a serving = 44% more. Price than ours.
Protein sources - whey concentrate, milk protein, nonfat dry milk. Notice that the whey isolate is after the 'natural and artificial' flavors. So you are basically getting whey concentrate and milk along with flavor.
Maltodextrin is the 2nd ingredient. A starch.
Corn syrup solids -a sugar that does not need to be labeled as sugar - is #4.
2 artificial sweeteners.
slimfast powder) - good grief. No wonder people struggle with losing weight on other programs. This shake has only 2 gr protein, 9 gr sugar. First ingredient is sugar. And it's a Milk Protein - not the most muscle building protein, and it is waaay down the list. And this one is supposed to help you lose weight? Lose muscle is more like it.
So how do you know what is high quality?
Well the International markets are different than the USA market. Here the US government and USDA look at grams of protein, not quality of protein. So you can see a lot of products like Premier Protein at Costco – being marketed with bold “30 grams of protein” on the label. But what they don’t’ tell you is how much is absorbable into the lean muscle, and how much is not.
The international markets like Canada use something called a PDCAAS score or rating. It rates protein on quality vs. quantity. We formulated our Core and VPRo shakes to meet the strict PDCAAS requirements of Health Canada – one of the hardest to be approved in.
Many USA companies are not allowed in Canada, because they do not meet these PDCAAS requirements.
They also do not meet the requirements for lecithin, a healthy fat that supports brain health and metabolism.
We do.
This is also why several brands were booted out of Canada. Both retail brands and Direct Selling companies.
Big brands too – are not in Canada. Jump To Health was formulated to meet the stringent Health Canada requirements. And we have NPN’s or Health Canada approvals on our supplements too.
So look at the label. See what is in the first 4 ingredients. See if they have a hydrolysate protein. See if there is more protein than sugar, and check that the fiber is a good fiber or is just gums.
If you don’t see hydolysate, isolate – its not going to be as good.
oCore: Uses Whey Concentrate, Whey Isolate and Whey hydrolysate (most don’t use all three/only concentrate)
oV-Pro: Uses Non-GMO Pumpkin Seed Protein, Pea Isolate and Pea hydrolysate.
So, both of our shakes use a hydrolysate, an isolate, and then a concentrate for better absorption.
The shakes are lactose free. Gluten free. Soy free. Sucralose free. And natural flavors. Not artificial.
We also add in Aminogen. Guaranteed 99.9% of shakes don’t’ have this patented, clinically studied digestive enzyme.
Several people have asked about Collagen.
Collagen is now carrying warnings on the labels that these cannot be used for weight loss, as they are not complete proteins and they do not build lean muscle. Great for skin, hair, joints, nails – but not muscle.
There are other nutrients in our shake that make it better at building lean muscle vs. other shakes. I will cover that in a minute.
So when I look at a shake label I look at
1. Quality of protein
2. If it has fiber in it
3. Type of fiber
4. Sweetener
5. Type of sweetener
6. If it has digestive enzymes and what type.
I will look at other things too – like the flavors, and where they are listed on the label as that can also tell me a lot about the quality of the formula. The closer to the top of the ingredient list means they add more flavor to get it to taste good.
I look at the ingredients and the first 4 ingredients. If you see sugar or a sweetener in the first 4 ingredients, in my opinion – that is showing you less quality because sugar can help mask bitter flavor.
We like to say if you see a sweetener or sugar in the first 4 ingredients – put it back.
Then I look at Fiber. Does the protein shake have a full serving 5 grams – of fiber, and what type is it?
I can guarantee you the vast majority of shakes do NOT have fiber in them. Or 5 grams or higher
Then I look at the type of fiber. We have 5.5 grams in our shake from a patented, clinically tested prebiotic fiber shown to boost health, satiety, stool quality, regularity, gut permeability, lower cholesterol and help blood sugar too.
The vast majority -if they have fiber – it is guar gum, or acacia gum – used to help keep the product mixed into the liquid. It is technically a fiber, but it is also technically just a thickener. It will not boost probiotics in the gut, help stool quality or regularity, or lower cholesterol like the Jump To Health shakes.
I look at the sweetener. Many shakes use artificial sweetners to make them diabetic friendly. Many have now moved to fructose or crystalline fructose as those are natural and don’t spike insulin. However, those are typically high fructose corn syrup which can impact liver health. Some us lo han or monk fruit – but we don’tbecause it is not allowed to be used in shakes in Canada. It is only allowed to be used as s table sugar in Canada.
We use isomaltulose – the brand we use is Palatinose. It has been clinically studied in diabetics, athletes, weight loss. A new study came out saying not only does it help keep blood sugar stable, it also helps nourish gut health and boost probiotics in the gut.
So our shake protein is easier to digest, higher quality, more absorbing.
We have a prebiotic fiber with many health benefits.
And we have a sweetener that is natural with many health benefits.
So when I get asked can I use other shakes and lose weight? You may lose weight – not as fast as with JTH. You may lose lean muscle – vs. building it with JTH.
You won’t boost gut health, heart health, immune health, or brain health like JTH.
And our shake is approved by Health Canada – and meets their needs for the highest PDCASS score.

And it is good for kids too. Kids age 4-12 can have 1 scoop of shake, kids 12+ can have a full shake.
The shake can be used in smoothies, made into pancakes, protein muffins, mug cakes and can be used Keto and non –keto too. We have the best shake for health and it tastes good too.
Dare to Compare: Why Jump Shakes?
There are a lot of shakes on the market – yet, none compare to Jump to Health’s Core™ Meal Replacement Shake Mix or Jump V-Pro™ Plant-Based Protein Drink Mixes.
1. Three types of protein – enter the blood stream at different rates to build lean muscle better, curb hunger, boost immune health, fight inflammation.
2. Clinically studied digestive enzymes – help you absorb and use more protein into your lean muscle.
3. Prebiotic Fiber – we have a full serving of fiber. Most companies do not, or they use fillers for fiber. We use a clinically studied prebiotic fiber to help mood, memory, boost probiotics, support digestive health, and more. The ‘gut brain axis’ is an important part of nutrition and science – and all of our products support good gut health.
4. Proprietary Sweetener and Flavor System – Isomaltulose is our sweetener. It has been clinically studied and shown to help Type I and Type II diabetics manage blood sugar, shown to give athletes sustained energy and better performance, and shown to have fat burning properties too.
5. Taste – the shake tastes great, like cake, because of the quality of ingredients. No gritty, cardboard, flavorless shakes here!
6. Cost – save money on groceries, or eating out! A shake with milk is about $2.50 a serving. A sandwich eaten out is about $8 – so if you eat two shakes a week as a meal replacement for lunch instead of eating out - your shakes would be paid for (with enough to spare for additional meals to enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner throughout the month). Not to mention you’ll be getting better nutrition, protein, fiber, enzymes, prebiotics and more!
7. And now better ATP, energy, anti-inflammation, more antioxidants, more muscle health – more health benefits.
