Product Information

USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH ENERGY DRINK MIX WITH CREATINE, AMINO ACIDS, VITAMINS, MINERALS AND WITH ADDED SUGARS & SWEETENERS | 4kg A high protein shake designed to increase physical performance: Muscle Fuel Anabolic is a muscle-building high protein powder and creatine mix. We formulate the powder so each protein shake aids physical performance during successive short bursts of high-intensity exercise. Advanced ingredients: We develop Muscle Fuel, our all-in-one protein powder, with several advanced ingredients, including Creatine, Free-Form Amino Acids, Avena Sativa (Oats) and Tolerase L.

Maltodextrin isn’t particularly sweet and is often added to improve the ‘mouthfeel’ of foods and beverages. Dextrose Monohydrate of creating per serving to support and increase physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise. Casein is everything calcium caseinate should be in this supplement. It’s a quality source of protein that many advocates will use over whey. It forms a gel in the gut and slowly absorbs, meaning long, sustained protein throughout the day and night.However, the advised dose is 3-5g with meals and before bed, and USN only offers us 1.1g per serving. B-Hydroxy B-Methylbutyric acid (HMB) Found in small amounts in fruit, fructose is sweeter than glucose, and when synthesised and added as a sweetener, it bears no health benefits over regular table sugar (sucrose). Although it has the sweetest taste, fructose is absorbed more slowly, through the small intestines, and causes less of a spike in blood sugar than glucose. We all know them. Simply put: the three essential amino acids that are proven to improve muscle growth. Leucine is our primary BCAA, it directly induces muscle protein synthesis and Isoleucine pulls glucose into cells. More research is needed into the effects of isolated Valine. We get a combined dose of about 9g per serving in USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic , which is middle of the road, but you want to hit around 20g combined per day. Other Ingredients All-in-one protein shake: USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic Chocolate protein powder is an all-in-one protein shake, with a 54g protein matrix and 5g of creatine per serving. USN advise having 1-2 servings per day but highlight that if you weigh less than 80 kilos, not to exceed 2 servings per day for the first 5 days and only 1 serving per day after. For those over 80 kilos, take 2-3 servings per day for the first 5 days then reduce to 1-2 servings per day. Who Takes It?

A metabolite of the muscle protein synthesis boosting amino acid leucine, HMB is a great addition when paired with every athletes’ favourite amino acid. Being a metabolite simply means it’s a product of leucine being broken down. This happens to about 5% of leucine in the body and HMB has been seen to be very effective at reducing muscle breakdown.

Ingredients

Despite the positive peaks in the ingredient list, I find it difficult to come around to this shake. It’s not a hard-gainer shake at 564kcal per serving, and its carb content is all high GI and there to enhance flavour rather than to aid sustained recovery. Our reliable friend creatine makes an expected appearance, and USN delivers. The molecule responsible for saturating your muscles with chemical energy, you can’t go wrong with creatine monohydrate. The quality is reliable and at 5g per serving you won’t need to supplement with extra creatine (unless you’re on a loading phase). L-Glycine USN uses current, up-to-date, peer-reviewed nutritional research throughout the development of our products and continue to employ the latest manufacturing protocols. USN manufactures its products according to stringent GMP and BRCGS regulations (where applicable) and, therefore, takes proactive steps to ensure that our products are safe and effective.

BRAND NEW AND IMPROVED FORMULATION All-in-one protein shake: USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic Strawberry protein powder is an all-in-one protein shake, with a 54g protein matrix and 5000mg of creatine per serving • Premium formulation designed to increase physical performance: Added Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism, Zinc supports the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and added Calcium contributes to normal muscle function The protein matrix is cheap. The soy isolate and egg albumen do act as a segue from the fast whey and soy into the slower milk protein and calcium caseinate, however, which is a positive. Maybe I’d feel differently if the ratios of each protein were given.

A product of hydrolysed starch, maltodextrin is polysaccharide — a chain of simple sugars. With one of the highest GIs available, it provides an injection of energy and a spike to blood sugar but doesn’t cause as impactful a ‘sugar crash’ as glucose. But both glucose and Maltodextrin both causes low-grade systemic inflammation. different sources of protein: Muscle Fuel is a protein shake powder that contains protein from five different sources. It also contains a range of essential and branch chain amino acids to ensure protein absorption which aids muscle mass growth • Advanced ingredients including HMB: Our new formula includes 850mg of HMB (short for β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) per serving to help you when training • Industry-leading nutrition: Muscle Fuel Anabolic is created by USN, a leading Sports Nutrition brand.
