Promax Natural
The whey isolate blend contained in Promax Natural is backed by extensive research to offer one of the most powerful whey protein supplements available. Researchers from Australia supplemented athletes with a whey isolate protein powder similar to Promax Natural and compared its effects compared to casein, over a 10 week period of weight training [8]. The 100% whey isolate increased muscle mass by an average of 10lbs, compared to just 2lbs in casein subjects. In addition, muscle strength increased significantly more in subjects consuming whey protein isolate.
How do I use it?
Protein powder supplements can be powerful dietary aids - however, they are only beneficial (for muscle growth) when used in conjunction with regular exercise (particularly heavy weight training), which dramatically increases your need for protein. In fact, the world's leading protein and metabolism researcher, Dr P.Lemon, suggests that intense exercise increases protein requirements by up to 100%, depending on your specific goals [9]:
Strength trainers: 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body mass.
Muscle building: 2.5 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.
In addition to consuming adequate protein, you also need to ensure you are maintaining a positive nitrogen balance at all times, by consuming easily digested protein (such as Promax Natural) every 2-3 hours. This strategy will ensure maximum muscle growth, preservation and recovery after training. If you're looking to build muscle, strength or lose fat, consuming protein before and after your workout has been shown to be the most beneficial periods in which to eat the nutrient [10, 11, 12]. Because Promax is very pure, it can be consumed before and during a workout without causing discomfort.
Promax Natural can be taken at a variety of times, such as breakfast time for an anabolic boost, added to any recipe to boost protein content, added to smoothies, between meals, and before bed to promote growth during sleep. Promax Natural is the most versatile protein available.
What results can I expect?
Bodybuilders, athletes, gym users and dieters commonly consume Promax, reporting an increased rate of muscle growth, muscle maintenance, strength and size, immune support (fewer common colds) and enhanced recovery.
Athletes, bodybuilders and regular gym users who include Promax in their diet usually report faster gains in muscle strength and size, a stronger immune system (less symptoms of illness or infection), and faster recovery between training sessions.
