THE SECRET IS THE SOURCE OF PROTEIN!

Brand IP Statement(s) re: (c), (TM), (SM)

METAMYOSYN(R) protein, based on metabolic research to help support lean muscle mass, was originally developed by a physician and has been studied in three published clinical trials. In a groundbreaking study, subjects using MET-Rx(R) Original Meal Replacement twice per day gained more muscle and strength over 12 weeks than a group receiving whey protein only supplements. METAMYOSYN(R) protein is a superior quality blend which combines premium casein with whey and milk proteins, plus L-Glutamine and naturally occurring Branched Chain Amino Acids - Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine. The precise combination of proteins in METAMYOSYN(R) provides your body with a highly bioavailable fuel to meet your nutritional needs.

Research studies show that whey is a fast-acting protein while casein is slow-acting, which results in a more prolonged absorption rate to extend the delivery of amino acids to muscles. Milk protein naturally contains both whey and casein - to provide slow and fast-digesting properties.
