Muscle Meals is the Ultimate High-Protein Meal Replacement for:
- Those wanting to increase their daily protein for optimal nutrition
- Hardgaining bodybuilders seeking more lean mass Bodybuilders wanting
maximum muscle cell volume
- Individuals striving for lean mass while losing bodyfat
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 vs. Just Whey:
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 MuscleLink Uses 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.

fat.
Directions: Add contents of one packet (73 g) to 2 cups (12 oz) of cold water
or skim milk and thoroughly mix in a blender or shaker for 45 seconds. For best
results add the liquid to a blender, agitate, then slowly add Muscle Meals. Use
less than 12 ounces of water for more thickness and more than 12 ounces for less
