Ingredients: Protein blend (whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed
whey protein, whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, hydrolyzed
lactalbumin, egg white), cocoa powder, guar gum, natural and artificial
flavor, sodium chloride, soy lecithin, acacia gum, acesulfame
potassium, sucralose. Contains milk, soybean and egg.
Muscle Provider: The original Muscle Provider (MP) formula was invented by nutritional
ingredients researcher and Beverly International (BI) founder Jim
Heflin in 1995 working in collaboration with a team of food scientists.
It remains to date one of the world's top "designer" protein
supplements, if not the number-one such product. MP was designed to be
the most anabolically potent and convenient source of protein nutrition
available to bodybuilding consumers, superior to whole foods and
existing protein formulas. Each 29-gram serving floods the body with 21
grams of the world's highest-quality proteins and more than enough of
each amino acid required to synthesize protein in muscle and every
other human tissue.
What: Muscle Provider is
a powdered drink mix consisting of high-quality fast acting proteins
derived from milk and egg. Whey protein isolate (WPI) and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH), perhaps the most studied and anabolically proven
proteins in the world, comprise the bulk of MP. Their quantities are
considered exceptional by industry standards: MP contains more than 35
times as much WPI and nearly 10 times as much WPH as some products. To
WPI and WPH have been added several other high-quality proteins
including whey protein concentrate (WPC), calcium-bound caseinate,
hydrolyzed lactalbumin and egg white. All of the milk proteins in the
formula are obtained from fresh milk supplied by BSE-free cows born and
raised in the United States subject to USDA guidelines.
Who:
MP is intended for use as a supplement to the diet by men and women 18
years of age and older who want to increase their intake of
high-quality proteins in an effort to preserve or increase muscle mass
and strength.
Why: Each protein in MP is
characterized by its own amino acid profile, speed of digestion and
absorption, taste and mouthfeel. For these reasons Heflin believed that
by combining them, consumers would get a superior product. He was
correct. The combination and proportions of proteins in MP give it a
taste and mouthfeel that no other company has been able to duplicate
while also allowing it to dissolve, digest and absorb very easily. MP
is ready to begin stimulating protein synthesis, inhibiting protein
breakdown and otherwise maximizing your gains in muscle size and
strength from training almost immediately.
The top 3 personnel
at the Muscle Provider manufacturing lab ("MP lab") possess more than
100 years of combined industry experience and include a PhD and
analytical chemist. According to the NSF (www.nsf.org), the MP lab is
compliant with both its GMP and GMP for Sport programs. This means that
it has gone above and beyond the FDA's minimum requirements for a
dietary supplement manufacturing facility and it does not produce any
products with banned substances. NSF and FDA inspectors audit the MP
lab regularly to ensure that it remains compliant.
The Quality
Control team at the MP lab subjects each batch to at least half a dozen
tests including Identity, Microbial, Protein Content, Content
Uniformity, Mixing and Stability. These help to confirm that the
product you purchase from BI contains the ingredients it is supposed
to, is not contaminated, mixes properly and remains fresh, among other
things. MP's ingredients are also specially blended so as to gently mix
the proteins together without fracturing them, something overlooked by
other companies.
Nutritionally, MP is ideal. It contains
almost no lactose and zero sugar. It is also low in sodium. Whereas
other products contain large amounts of salt (sodium chloride), through
rigorous trial and error the MP lab discovered a particular balance of
proteins that allowed them to reduce the level of salt in chocolate MP
from 0.9% to 0.1%, a dramatic reduction that further supports muscle
anabolism and hardness, as well as cardiovascular health.
Since
1995, no one has been able to duplicate MP's delicious flavor system or
identify its precise contents. Developed by the lab's R&D team over
the course of at least five time- and labor-intensive rounds of audits,
the flavor system is unusual in many regards. For instance, whereas
other protein supplements contain added "filler" ingredients in order
to address taste, texture and/or mixability issues, BI has chosen to
conquer these challenges by adding more high-quality proteins in
particular combination's. This has resulted in a product that consumers
and food industry experts feel is truly superior in terms of its
protein density, flavor and ease with which it goes into solution.
Can consumers actually notice the difference between MP and a lower-quality protein supplement as far as how it affects the size and strength of their muscles? Yes.
Numerous factors determine the quality of the protein and non-protein ingredients
in the supplements that you consume, including the manner in which they
are manufactured. Higher-quality manufacturing methods yield proteins
with superior bioavailability. This means that more of each serving can
be absorbed by your body, and in some cases, more quickly. This
directly impacts the anabolic state of your muscles.
There are
numerous qualities, or grades, of proteins. BI instructs the MP lab to
use only the highest grades available. This is accomplished by
purchasing its proteins from the same suppliers. Consumers benefit by
getting the same exceptional anabolic potency, taste and mouth feel with
each bottle of MP that they purchase. All stages of manufacturing are
closely monitored by the Quality Control team to ensure that this remains the case.
How:
MP is intended to be taken whenever you want to get high quality
protein into your muscles FAST. First thing in the morning, before you
train and after your workout are perfect times to take Muscle Provider.
For the best results it should be mixed with water and taken on an
empty stomach. This will ensure that it is digested, absorbed and used
in the synthesis of muscle protein to the best of its ability. Use
either a blender or a shaker cup to prepare. Adjust the level of water
to suit your preference for a thicker or thinner protein shake.
