Before there
were pills, Met-Rx (aka METRx) was born. This ready-to-mix nutritional
supplement pioneered the generation of Meal Replacement Powders or MRPs
which soon followed. Ever heard of SlimFast? Met-Rx paved the way for these
second-class supplements.
Ironically, Met-Rx did not start out as a
supplement for professional body builders. Thats just how it became
popular. It had a much more noble beginning. Creator Dr. A. Scott Connelly, M.D.
developed Met-Rx to help critical patients from losing muscle mass. This high
protein-based shake originally started out to help those near the end of their
life make the most of what muscle remained on their frames.
Though this powder came from a modest beginning,
it did not stay modest. When the bodybuilding community became aware of its
brawn-inducing power, not only did they use it, but they deified it. The powder
became famous because of this iron-pumping, vein-popping society.
Prepped by mixing the powder with 16 ounces of
water or non-fat milk, Met-Rx is composed of the protein-based component
Metamyosym which contains the ingredients whey protein, calcium caseinate, egg
albumen and milk protein isolate combined with maltodextrin, vitamins, minerals
and added amino acids. Those needing the extra boost can mix it in a blender or
a shaker bottle before downing the strength-building concoction.
What makes Met-Rx work so well? The newest
formulas of it contain a high gram amount of both free-form and peptide bonded
glutamine which helps prevent muscle tissue breakdown, thus helping the average
or professional bodybuilder keep the muscle that he or she is building. The
native casein proteins containing casomorphins are bio-peptides which support
protein digestion. And high concentrations of lactoferrin provide extra support
during the periods of muscle stress that heavy training produces.
Met-Rx might sound familiar even to those
non-athletic couch potatoes who frequent ESPN. Met-Rx sponsors dozens of
athletes and competitions. Appropriately Met-Rx is a primary sponsor of the
Worlds Strongest Man competition.
Since its inception, Met-Rx has grown in
popularity and variety. Customers no longer have to add liquid and shake their
supplement: they can find it in both a ready-to-drink liquid or a solid bar
form.
Consider how Met-Rx can work for you in your
strength training. It can only serve to help repair the muscle that you tear
down in your regular workouts. This time-proven supplement assist you in
building the muscle that you have been working so hard to create.
