YW8 Super-Powder Nutritional Profile (per scoop):
Calories 110 | Protein 9 g | Carbs 14 g | Fiber 2 g | Fat 2 g
Y-Power is a low-glycemic, fiber-forward, protein-anchored metabolic base. Key features include soluble fiber (psyllium), polyphenol-rich berries, liver-support botanicals, adaptogenic/immune-modulating mushroom compounds, green superfoods, vitamin K2 (MK-7), a comprehensive digestive enzyme blend, and probiotics.
Foundational Health Benefits (Y-Power Alone):
Metabolic & Cellular Energy (CoQ10 100 mg): Provides a clinically meaningful dose of CoQ10 to support mitochondrial ATP production and cellular energy efficiency; human evidence supports CoQ10 supplementation for reducing fatigue and improving energy-related symptoms (systematic review/meta-analysis of RCTs).
Digestive Support & Nutrient Absorption (Digestive Enzymes + Probiotics): Digestive enzymes support breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates to reduce digestive burden and improve nutrient utilization; controlled clinical evidence supports multi-enzyme blends for reducing dyspepsia symptoms in appropriate populations. Probiotics (1B CFU) support microbial balance and gut–immune signaling.
Fiber-Driven Glycemic & Appetite Support (Psyllium Husk 2 g): Soluble, viscous fiber supports regularity and helps slow glucose absorption. Psyllium supplementation has human evidence for improving glycemic measures and supporting healthier lipid profiles in meta-analyses.
Immune Balance + Stress Resilience (Adaptogens): Adaptogenic and immune-modulating ingredients (e.g., reishi polysaccharides, ginger, aloe, polyphenols) support balanced immune signaling—supporting resilience during stress rather than overstimulation. Clinical evidence supports immune-modulatory effects of reishi β-glucan in healthy adults.
Detoxification & Cellular Protection: Botanicals and greens (milk thistle, broccoli, moringa, spirulina, chlorella, MSM) support hepatic clearance pathways, antioxidant defenses, and the body’s ability to process and clear metabolic byproducts.
Practical note: Because CoQ10 is fat-soluble, pairing Y-Power with a small amount of healthy fat (e.g., avocado, nut butter, flax oil) may improve absorption for some individuals.
Shake Variations (Overall Nutrition + Health Benefit Summary):
All totals below are estimates and will vary by brand, serving size, and frozen fruit chunk size.
1) Easy Chocolate-Berry Blend
Your recipe: enjoy a rich chocolate-berry blend that adds a punch of superfood cacao.
Blend 1 tsp quality cacao with 1 scoop of Y-Power into 12–16 oz cold water and froth.
Estimated overall nutrition:
Calories ~116 | Protein ~9.5 g | Carbs ~15.5 g | Fiber ~3.0 g | Fat ~2.3 g
Health benefit summary: A light, low-glycemic option that emphasizes metabolic clarity and circulation support. Y-Power’s CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production, while cacao polyphenols complement vascular and antioxidant pathways. Fiber plus enzymes/probiotics support steady digestion and nutrient utilization without heaviness.
2) Easy Berry Smooth Smoothie
Your recipe: a velvety smooth gut-immune healthy treat enhanced with avocado, yogurt, and frozen pineapple chunks.
Blend 1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt, 1/4–1/2 avocado, and 3–4 pineapple chunks with 1 scoop Y-Power.
Estimated overall nutrition (range):
• Lower-fat version (1/4 avocado):
Calories ~255 | Protein ~12.8 g | Carbs ~27.8 g | Fiber ~6.1 g | Fat ~11.8 g
• Higher-satiety version (1/2 avocado):
Calories ~335 | Protein ~13.8 g | Carbs ~32.1 g | Fiber ~9.5 g | Fat ~19.2 g
Health benefit summary: Built for gut comfort, immune resilience, and satiety. The added fat and fiber increase fullness and slow glucose absorption, while potentially improving absorption of fat-soluble ingredients like CoQ10 and vitamin K2. Combined with enzymes, probiotics (in the yogurt), and soluble fiber, this version supports digestion, microbiome balance, and a steadier metabolic response.
3) Make It a High-Protein Meal Shake
Your recipe: add yogurt, banana, almond or peanut butter, frozen berries, and a dash of pure vanilla for a protein-rich meal on the go.
Blend 1/3 cup whole-milk yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1 Tbsp nut butter, 1/3 cup frozen berries, vanilla, and 1 scoop Y-Power.
Estimated overall nutrition:
Calories ~338 | Protein ~17.0 g | Carbs ~41.0 g | Fiber ~7.6 g | Fat ~14.2 g
Health benefit summary: A complete meal replacement designed for sustained energy and appetite control. Protein + fat + fiber support satiety and help smooth the glucose curve; enzymes support macronutrient breakdown; probiotics support gut–immune signaling. This is the best option for busy mornings, post-movement recovery, or when you need a true ‘meal shake.’
4) Coco-Choco-Loco Blend
Your recipe: coconut water, pineapple, banana, cacao, and flax seed oil for a tropical-inspired blend supporting immune and brain health.
Blend 4–6 oz coconut water + 4–6 oz water, 3–4 pineapple chunks, a 2-inch banana piece, 1 tsp cacao, 1/2 Tbsp flax oil, and 1 scoop Y-Power.
Estimated overall nutrition:
Calories ~253 | Protein ~10.1 g | Carbs ~34.0 g | Fiber ~4.3 g | Fat ~9.5 g
Health benefit summary: Designed for hydration + recovery + cognitive support. Coconut water contributes electrolytes and palatability; flax oil adds fat to support absorption of fat-soluble nutrients (including CoQ10) and provides omega-3 ALA; cacao adds polyphenols. Together with Y-Power’s adaptogens, enzymes, probiotics, and fiber, this blend supports resilience during stress, travel, or increased demand.
Selected Scientific Support (Brief)
CoQ10 and fatigue: Systematic review/meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials supports CoQ10 for reducing fatigue symptoms (Tsai et al., 2022).
Psyllium (soluble fiber): Meta-analytic evidence supports improvements in glycemic measures and lipid profiles with psyllium supplementation (e.g., Gibb et al., 2015; Gholami et al., 2025 review).
Digestive enzymes: Controlled clinical research supports multi-enzyme blends for reducing functional dyspepsia symptoms in relevant populations (Ullah et al., 2023).
Reishi β-glucan: Randomized controlled evidence suggests immune modulation in healthy adults (Chen et al., 2023).
