Add to cartMost people eat enough protein. Far fewer can use it.
Platinum Plus is a patented blend of the essential amino acids your body needs to make protein, in a form that needs no digestion. Two capsules before a meal supply the building blocks your body uses to make digestive enzymes and, from there, every protein it needs.

Protein deficiency is usually a digestion problem, not a diet problem.
If you have felt run down for a long time and eating well has not changed it, the problem may be what your body does with protein, not how much you eat.
Protein does nothing for you until your body breaks it into amino acids. That work is done by digestive enzymes, and the enzymes are themselves made of amino acids. When digestion falters, the body has fewer enzymes for the next meal, and the shortfall compounds. In his practice, Dr. Brice Vickery found that most of the patients he tested were not getting usable protein from their food, however well they ate.
Platinum Plus breaks that loop. Its amino acids arrive already free, so they are absorbed without digestion and put to use at once, including to make the enzymes that were missing.
Free-form
Each amino acid is single and unbound. There is nothing left to digest, so absorption does not depend on how well your stomach is working that day.
Balanced
The eleven amino acids are held in a fixed ratio. Dr. Vickery held that the ratio, not the dose, is what makes the formula work.
Patented
U.S. Patent 6,203,820, granted in 2001 for compositions that enhance protein anabolism and detoxification. Also patented in Great Britain and Europe.
Vegetarian
Amino acids from vegetarian sources in a vegetarian capsule. Hypoallergenic, with no animal protein.
The Formula
Every two capsules carry one gram of free-form essential amino acids, plus the three additions that give the formula its name.
Sulfur, 136 mg
Supplied as 400 mg of MSM. Sulfur is part of two of the amino acids in the blend and of glutathione, the antioxidant your body makes for itself.
Molybdenum, 60 mcg
A trace mineral the liver's own detoxification enzymes depend on. Two capsules supply 133 percent of the Daily Value.
Creatine, 100 mg
A small measure to help muscle cells recycle energy, included for people who have been run down for a long time.

How It Works
You take two capsules before you eat.
Thirty minutes ahead of a meal, on an empty stomach, with water.
The amino acids absorb directly.
They are already in their final form, so nothing has to be broken down first.
Your body makes digestive enzymes with them.
The meal that follows is digested more completely, and its protein becomes available too.
Protein goes where it is needed.
Cartilage, skin, hair, nails and muscle, and the enzymes and antibodies your body makes every day.
Two capsules, twice a day, before meals.
One bottle is one month. 120 capsules at two capsules twice a day is a 30-day supply.
Timing matters. Take them 30 minutes before a meal, on an empty stomach, with a glass of water. That is how the formula was designed to be taken.
Keep it cool and dry. Store between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit, away from heat, light and moisture.

Choose a setOur Founder
Dr. Brice E. Vickery, D.C., 1928 to 2021
Brice Vickery was born in the Bronx, served in a Navy submarine squadron in the Second World War, and opened his chiropractic practice in Connecticut in 1952. He trained in Applied Kinesiology under its originator, Dr. George Goodheart, and built his practice around nutrition at a time when few did.
In 1980 he began testing his patients for protein utilization and found that most were falling short, whatever their diet. He spent the next six years working with chemists on a balanced free-form formula, and his patients were taking the first version by 1986. He called himself the Protein Doctor, took his own formula every day, and kept working on the problem until his death in Aiken at 92.
“It is not the quantity in Platinum Plus that is the effector, but the balance.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I notice anything?
It varies, and we do not promise a timeline. Dr. Vickery had his patients take it for a full month before judging, and most of his protocols ran two to three months. That is why a bottle is a month.
How is Platinum Plus different from a protein powder?
A protein powder still has to be digested into amino acids before your body can use it. Platinum Plus is already there. Each amino acid is single, free and ready to absorb, so it works even when digestion is weak.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes. The amino acids come from vegetarian sources and the capsules are vegetarian. The formula is hypoallergenic.
Can I take it with food?
Take it 30 minutes before a meal, on an empty stomach, with water. That is how the formula was designed to be taken and how Dr. Vickery used it with his patients.
How long does a bottle last?
A bottle holds 120 capsules. At two capsules twice a day, that is 30 days.
Who makes it?
SuperNutrient Corporation in Aiken, South Carolina. The formula was developed by Dr. Brice E. Vickery, D.C., and is protected by U.S. Patent 6,203,820.
