Protein Plus

This dynamic powder was developed to give you the competitive edge in protein! Protein Plus contains our exclusive Metamyosyn blend, with a complex matrix of protein and amino acids—plus it tastes great and is low in fat and sugar.

For an instant protein boost, try MET-Rx Protein Plus powder mixed with milk, water or your favorite juice. Each serving (16 servings per container) offers up 46 grams of pure, upgraded and enhanced Metamyosyn protein. It's easily digested and readily absorbed by your body. And you get all of this for just 1 gram of fat and three grams of carbohydrate.

This is the proprietary protein blend, Metamyosyn, that MET-Rx is famous for and is now available in an economical container! Metamyosyn consists of specially processed milk-protein isolates, caseinates, whey, egg whites and L-glutamine which specifically supports protein synthesis, energy production and fat utilization.

Protein Plus (MET-Rx) - Average rating (2 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews November 10, 2007 Reviewer: Christopher in California This powder mixes easily without a blender and doesn't clump up like most powders. Of all the powders I have tried, this is the easiest to mix. Both vanilla and chocolate flavor taste good. Also, fewer carbs compared to most other mixes. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No July 01, 2007 Reviewer: Deeann in Arizona I bought this product because I had found it nearly impossible to get the 45-52 grams of protein that is recommended that a 5'2" person should get a day. I was averaging between 30 and 37 grams a day prior to getting this product. That was the ONLY reason I bought the product. To my surprise, 3 weeks after taking this product (just one scoop gave me the extra 15 grams I needed)my cardiovascular out-put went up sharply. I work out on an Airodyne bike (upper and lower body workout) and for the last 2 years I had only been able to do 16 to 17 miles in 65 minutes. Suddenly, out of the blue, I found myself doing 19 miles in 65 minutes! I have done nothing different-except added the protein. Suddenly, I can do 2 to 3 miles MORE in the same time. I must admit, I was stunned! It HAD TO BE that I finally was getting the recommended daily requirement for protein. wow! By the way-it tastes great!

The biological value of any dietary protein is related to the efficiency of its digestion and utilization. The digestibility of a dietary protein depends on intestinal health and intestinal motility (how quickly food travels down the intestine). In a healthy person, intestinal motility is contingent upon emotional and physical stress, as well as foods and chemicals. For example, cheese slows intestinal motility and caffeine increases motility. Increased motility decreases digestive efficiency which wastes protein and promotes an unhealthy environment.

Biological value is also related to a protein's amino acid profile (combinations of amino acids). Once protein is digested, the amino acids are absorbed and their function as energy substrates (metabolites) or building blocks begins. From this point, caloric intake and physical activity influence how amino acids are used. Protein is not simply protein. That is to say, not all proteins are alike, nor will they produce the same metabolic effects.

Acquiring calories is NOT a problem for most Americans, as their weights attest. On the contrary, most Americans eat too many calories and consume combinations of macronutrients which favor fat production and storage. However, if lean body mass is the goal and fat mass is to be minimized, the macronutrient ratio must reflect low-fat, higher protein and moderate carbohydrate consumption. Specific amino acid profiles are better suited, metabolically speaking, to support protein synthesis when carbohydrate intake is limited.

The amino acid profile in Metamyosyn, the protein formulation in MET-Rx, was developed specifically to minimize the catabolic effects of lower carbohydrate diets - diets which ultimately produce lean body compositions. The protein contained in MET-Rx is highly specialized not only in its amino acid profile, but in digestibility as well.

Metamyosyn provides a precise amino acid profile designed specifically to decrease protein breakdown in muscles. Its composition of "native" milk protein isolates (undamaged milk proteins) makes it particularly effective because digestion of these milk proteins closely simulates that of whole milk. This is important since natural digestion of whole milk protein is believed to produce biologically active peptides which improve protein digestion and absorption by slowing intestinal motility.

There is not much sense in providing a unique amino acid profile if the body cannot digest and absorb it due to increased motility, a common condition resulting from emotional and physical stress, as well as chemical agents like caffeine. This is why Metamyosyn works, making it unique among other protein supplements on the market.
