Proasis is the market's first all-natural, liquid protein shot. Proasis is a compact, ready-to-drink protein shot utilizing Actinase((R)) - the patent-pending protein complex that stimulates the metabolism by signaling the body to increase assimilation and absorption of essential nutrients. Actinase is the same protein complex used in Profect((R)) and many other brands manufactured by Protica.

Protica's products are some of the market's most nutritionally dense drinks and are distributed in tens of thousands of retail locations.
