Muscle Meals
Muscle Meals™ represents a true
breakthrough in nutritional science in a
high-quality meal replacement for serious
bodybuilders.
While Muscle Meals™ offers the highest
nutritional combination for replacing a meal, it
also possesses a unique combination of
anabolic/anti-catabolic ingredients responsible
for tissue repair, muscle recovery, growth
and fat loss.
Micellar Casein, Whey and Egg Protein vs. Whey Protein only
New research proves conclusively that the
combination of the anti-catabolic, long-term
affects of micellar casein protein and the
short-term, anabolic effects of whey protein
is much more effective for muscle growth and
repair than whey alone. It’s a well-known fact
that muscle mass is influenced by the rate of
anabolism which increases muscle and the
rate of catabolism which reduces it, a
continual process in the human body.
Whey protein is quickly absorbed into the
bloodstream, causing an anabolic effect. Yet,
the effects of whey are short-lived as the
blood amino acid levels of whey only last for
a short period of time. Micellar casein enters
the bloodstream at a much slower rate while
its effect on blood levels of amino acids lasts
for hours, unleashing its anti-catabolic action.
Since it’s absolutely critical to ingest the
proper combination of fast- and
slow-absorbing protein to insure a consistent
blood amino acid level to maximize anabolism
and minimize catabolism, the availability of this
special formulation makes Muscle-Link’s
Muscle Meals™ an obvious choice.
And, it’s absolutely delicious!
Why We Use Whey Protein Concentrate
vs. “Ion Exchange” “Cross Flow” “Ultra”
“Micro” Or “Nano” Filtered Whey Isolate
All of these methods refer to the type of
mechanism used to remove some of the fat
and lactose from the whey protein isolate.
Which whey product is actually better?
Manufacturers who incorporate these
methods would like to lead the uninformed
consumer to the erroneous conclusion that
these processed proteins are superior;
however, standard whey processing steps
often destroy and/or denature certain
fractions of the whey proteins (usually the
most biologically active fractions are also the
most fragile).
Although ion-exchanged “whey protein isolate”
has the highest protein content, it may be
missing critical fractions, such as lactoferrin,
some of the immuno-globulins, etc., necessary
for growth and repair. And it usually contains
an abnormally high amount of beta-lactoglobulin
… the one fraction of whey protein not found
in human milk and which has been found to be
the most allergenic to humans.
Many “whey protein isolate” manufacturers
include pH adjustments (ion exchange) as
steps in their processing to make their
manufacturing run smoother. These pH
adjustments often destroy and/or denature
certain fractions of the whey proteins as well.
The “filtered whey protein” isolates tend to
have more fractions present than ion
exchange whey protein isolate, but less than
the Whey Protein Concentrates. As a result the
“filtered” whey protein isolates are a cross
between the ion exchange whey protein
isolate and whey protein concentrates.
Whey Protein Concentrates have the
advantage that they have usually been the
“least” processed of all whey proteins. Thus, it
is only logical that the least processed whey
proteins (Whey Protein Concentrates) will have
most of the biologically active fractions
remaining. Many of these fractions are critical
for maximum growth and repair. Thus, the
informed consumer can only draw the
conclusion that using Whey Protein
Concentrates such as those found in Muscle
Meals™ offers the greatest advantage to the
hard-training bodybuilder in pursuit of maximum
growth and repair.
