  JM Ocean Avenue Product FAQ's: 
• 

  
  

  What products does JM Ocean Avenue offer?

  JM Ocean Avenue offers 5 different consumable WAV nutritional products. There are 3 powdered Products (WHEYSMART, WHEYBEYOND, FOCUS), as well as 2 Encapsulated Products (EMPOWER, INVIGORATE).

• What source of milk is in the Whey and is it pasteurized?

  The source in the milk is not certi fied organic but it is hormone free and free range also by LAW any milk products entering the North American marketplace MUST be pasteurized. (note: Undenatured whey is cold processed so this pasteurization is a low temp process to keep the high biological nutrients intact.)

Is sugar found in the JM Ocean Avenue products?

WE DO NOT ADD SUGAR TO OUR PRODUCTS. The reason for that is it is primarily designed in the formula to increase energy, stamina and mental drive.

• Does heating any of our products, or adding any too hot foods/beverages change their properties in any way?

  It is recommended NOT to use the products in heated foods, especially to heat them with the cooking of food. That will diminish the biological activity of the products (such as undenature, the whey protein), deactivate some of the antioxidant value, separate the minerals from their ligands, and reduce the state of the key minerals (especially vanadium). However, such changes will not completely obliterate the activity.

• How many mg of caffeine does each packet of Focus contain?

  150 mg caffeine per packet.

• Are our products vegetarian or vegan?

  These products do not contain ingredients within the actives ingredients that are of animal origins, however the capsule is currently made from gelatin (beef gelatin), however we are in the process of changing over to a veggie capsule which will be made from cellulose.

• What is the ORAC value placed on the WHEYBEYOND product?

  Ranges between 180 – 220 for the berry fruit inclusion. This is additional to the antioxidant value delivered by the whey component which is not categorized by ORAC.

• What does ORAC mean?

  ORAC(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) is the "antioxidant" potential of a substance quanti fied as a numerical value, the antioxidant substance’s ability to neutralize the oxygen radical (free radical) is its ORAC value.

• Why do you only put 15g of protein in WHEYBEYOND?

  These serving sizes are designed for mainstream consumers. Most people don’t need the 30 grams in a serving, especially of this type of whey.

• Could someone take just the INVIGORATE and lose weight without the WAVSMART?

  Yes. INVIGORATE can help on its own, but WAVSMART will add synergistic value from the metabolic standpoint (support thyroid, appetite, and more blood sugar support through the carefully proportioned protein sources/ greens/ herbs). It may also be used as a meal alternative to reduce total caloric daily intake.

• What would you recommend to someone who wants to lose 10-15 lbs verses someone who needs to lose 25+?

  Same strategy for both: The Trim Pack = WHEYSMART+ INVIGORATE.

• Is there Soy Protein in Ocean Avenue Products?

  There is no soy protein added to any Ocean Avenue products. Soy Protein is a LOW biological value protein(<79). WHEYBEYOND has a Biological Value of (>130-135 BV). WHEYBEYOND suppports glutathione saturation, soy proteins cannot. Soy Lecithin is a soy-based emulsi fier added to the WHEYBEYOND and WAVSMART formulations to support dissolving of the powdered beverage mix into liquid (helps prevent clumping).

Functional Training for Health

I read this great article by Gina Shaw and it stated something I think we all need to consider... functional training for health: 

"Yesterday you had a great workout at the gym. You're bench-pressing more weight than ever before, and pulling enough weight on the seated rowing machine to try out for the Olympic sculling team.

How am I preparing my body for aging and health using P90X or Body Beast? 

Watching the Jeunesse Global Journey Through My Business

Always nice to see that my business was growing while I was playing on the beaches in California with my family. I also loved that even though I indulged a little bit, I feel like I am not off track with my nutrition because I have these amazing shakes to drink.

This is a journey my friends. There is no instant gratification in health, and change takes time, and consistency as we change our lifestyles. That doesn't mean you won't see some changes in measurements and weight initially, or feel some changes in inflammation and energy...

What it means is that you have to stick with healthy changes rather than jumping from one "fad" to the next. Only being consistent in using healthy supplements and being consistent in the other healthy chooses in life (exercise, nutrition) will you see real changes and long term changes. And that is what makes this all so important to me, the long term changes I am going to see for my health

These products will take you on an Global Journey of health

There was a study done on the long term use of undenatured whey protein isolates. Long and persistent uncontrolled diabetes tends to degenerate the immune system and leads to an increased incidence of infection. And most of us in our society are on the borderline of type two, or as Dr. Hyman says we have "diabesity". One in two Americans is suffering from diabesity, and most of them don’t even know it. Why? Because most doctors are not trained to treat the single biggest chronic disease in America. That's right... our doctors and chiropractors. A chiropractor goes through Nutrition/dietetics for 90 hours during the total of almost 4800 hours of training... That's not even 2% of their training time. Nurses go through one 3 credit out class on nutrition. Most MD's don't even go through the recommended 25 hours of nutritional training. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/health/16chen.html?_r=0

On the other hand we are so lucky that our doctors are so amazing!! They get nutrition in a big way! That's why I was so happy that they got it with their fitness products why undenatured whey is so important.

In fact, whey proteins (WPs) enhance immunity during early life (healthy for your kids!) and have a protective role in some immune disorders. In this study, the effects of the whey protein was done on the chemotaxis of B and T cells(T cells are what is so super important when dealing with cancer treatments and immune levels) to CXCL12 and CCL21 in diabetic mice were investigated.  They concluded that this whey protein would be a promising drug candidate for immunomodulation. What is that? Immunotherapy is a medical term defined as the "treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response". Do you want to use something health to work with your immune system?

Now with weight loss... A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that the long-term consumption of this amazingly healthy whey protein was associated with lower body weight and lower body fat mass in overweight and obese adults.

The study subjects consumed 56 grams of either whey or soy protein daily, or an equal amount of calories as carbohydrates.  The participants otherwise consumed their normal diets.  After just 23 weeks of supplementation, the fat mass of those consuming whey protein was 2.3 kilograms (just over 5 pounds) less than those consuming an equal amount of calories as carbohydrates.

Though caloric restriction can facilitate weight loss in the short-term, you have to remember that all of these longer-term studies have shown calorie-restricted diets to be ineffective for sustained weight loss. You can't expect to keep the weight off when you go back to the same old same old way of eating. It’s likely that calorie-restricted diets trigger numerous appetite-promoting chemical signals to compensate for perceived starvation. I listened to an amazing TED talk about the neurons that come from our "immune system" which is our digestive system. These sustained caloric restriction diets are most likely going to cause intense food cravings, and foster the accumulation of body fat when and if caloric consumption is increased.  This has been show by numerous studies, that those that repeatedly cycle on and off of calorie-restricted diets often end up heavier than when their dieting endeavors began. Have you seen this before?

Sustained weight loss, therefore, will likely require the use of foods and supplements that I've talked about, and eating a nutrient-rich diet to elicit the chemical signaling characteristic of a fed state. You need to over power the brain wanting to overeat, but still give your body it's required nutrition.  When these requirements are met, the metabolism is more likely to give you that fat loss even without all of the calorie counting that most of us do these days. That is what these products are going to do for you. It's looking at the long term picture my friends, and not just the quick fix that we often are searching for in our society. As research on undenatured whey protein continues, it appears that its benefits are far greater than many people currently imagine. What a journey... are you coming along?
