MusclePharms COMBAT POWDER
COMBAT POWDER is MusclePharm's technologically advanced Protein Superfood. Athletes and Bodybuilders have long known that high-quality protein is the key to building and maintaining lean muscle, while supporting a healthy body composition and fueling fat loss.* Protein is the most important macronutrient for muscle growth, mass and power.* High-quality protein may support muscle growth, recovery, and the integrity and health of all body tissues.* Active bodies require MORE high quality protein for optimal performance - COMBAT POWDER was designed to meet that need.*
Key Points of Combat Powder
1. Feeds the anabolic and recovery pathways within the body to support muscle growth, fuel recovery and maximize the body's adaptive response to hard training.*
2. 25 grams of the high-quality PROTEIN BLEND, in a great tasting, easy-to-mix shake.
3. Added Digestive Blend to ease absorption.*
What's in Combat Powder?
- Whey Protein Isolate
- Partially Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
- Micellar Casein
- Whey Protein Concentrate
- Egg Albumin
- Highest available yield of protein, gram for gram, of any whey protein source, WPI is rapidly digested and absorbed.
- Hydrolyzed whey is protein that's been broken down into fast-absorbing peptides. The fastest absorbing of all forms of whey, hydrolyzed whey hits the bloodstream first, providing a rapid infusion of muscle-building amino acids.*
- micellar casein digests very slowly and infuses amino acids over several hours, which may protect muscle tissue from breakdown over time.*
- closer to the whole food sources than other whey proteins, concentrate contains real food subfractions such as alpha-lactoglobulins and lactoferrins.
- highly bioavailable and well tolerated by most individuals, egg albumin has a high BCAA content and arginine. Egg albumin is a contributor to hormone production and the muscle building process.*Combat's Powerful Protein Sources
Digestive Enzyme Blend:
Digestive enzymes break down food along the digestive tract so that nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. COMBAT™ contains 60mg of a Digestive Enzyme Blend to aid in the digestion and absorption of the key muscle-building proteins contained herein. The body cannot absorb what it cannot break down. The added Digestive Enzyme Blend supports the utilization of COMBAT's muscle-building protein component.*Added BCAAs and Glutamine:
The Branched Chain Amino Acids, L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, are the most critical of the essential amino acids for the maintenance, repair and building of muscle tissue.* The BCAA's (especially L-Leucine) have been shown to support protein synthesis and therefore, muscle growth.* L-Glutamine is an amino acid that has been surmised to support healthy immune system function.* L-Glutamine has also been suggested to help with recovery.* Together, the extra Branched Chain Amino Acids and the added Glutamine in COMBAT fortify the muscle-building and recovery properties of this, our most technologically advanced protein super food available.*FAQs
What is Combat Powder?
Combat Powder is a precision-engineered matrix of three different types of whey protein (hydrolysate, isolate, and concentrate), along with egg albumin and micellar casein. Because each of these distinct sources of protein digest at varying rates, not only are amino acids rushed into the bloodstream within minutes of consumption, but they are continuously fed into the body for up to 8 hours!* Combined with added BCAA's, digestive enzymes, and extra glutamine, Combat Powder is the ultimate protein super-food!When should I use Combat Powder?
The most important times are immediately upon awakening, right after training, and just before bed, as these are vital periods for the initiation of the growth process. However, Combat can also be used at ANY time of day as a substitute for whole food protein.Why not use just whey? Why use a blend like Combat Powder?
While whey is one of the most important and popular proteins around, it has its limitations and is best used as part of a blend of proteins. Whey protein is digested very quickly, which causes a rapid rise in blood amino acids. While this seems like a great thing, there remains a problem. These amino acids are cleared from the system rapidly, which is excellent for the short term, but does not cover the period of time between meals. However, with the addition of egg albumin and micellar casein you will slowly trickle feed amino acids to your cells over a period of up to 8 hours!* This makes COMBAT our ultimate anabolic and anticatabolic protein matrix!Will I have stomach issues while using Combat Powder?
COMBAT contains some of the purest proteins currently available and is very low in lactose. Additionally, a special digestive blend has been added to the formula to enhance digestion and assimilation of the protein constituents. For most, COMBAT provides no stomach discomfort whatsoever.Usage
Mix 1-2 scoops of Combat Powder with 8-12oz of water.
Vary the amount of water used in order to achieve the desired consistency. To increase your protein intake and achieve a delicious milkshake taste, use skim or low fat milk instead of water. Consume Combat Powder 2-3 times daily or as needed in order to fulfill desired daily protein intake. Other possibilities include blending Combat Powder with ice and your choice of fruit for a delicious smoothie, or adding Combat Powder into your favorite baked goods to improve their protein content.Scientifically Advanced Research Protocol
Each and every product sold by MusclePharm® is the end result of a long development process involving leading nutrition scientists doctors, and top professional athletes in the country.
Step 1: The Vision
CEO, Brad Pyatt, President and fitness icon, Cory Gregory, and top sports nutritionist, Eric Serrano, MD take the first step by envisioning a new nutritional supplement with a specific set of performance properties.
Step 2: The Formulation Process
Dr. Eric Serrano, the leading sports nutrition doctor in the US, who is the company's medical director and formulator, begins putting together several scientifically advanced - often breakthrough - combinations and ratios of ingredients resulting in superior formulations.
Step 3: Athlete Protocol Test
At the world reknown MP Performance Center, preliminary formulations of new products are tested on elite professional athletes. Product samples developed at the MP Performance Center are also given to athletes and strength coaches in the NFL, MMA, MLB, and other organizations for further analysis. MusclePharm is the first to use the field as it's lab, truly combining science with athletics. At our 30,000 sq. ft. training facility we use state-of-the-art technology like Omega Wave, DEXA, and Kaiser performance equipment to gather cutting-edge feedback about our formulations. Our medical advisory team, strength coaches, and top fitness experts evaluate the results to give us a practical read on the effectiveness of our products.
Step 4: Research and Product Testing
After athlete testing, the formulation is forwarded to Dr. Jeffrey Stout, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Oklahoma, who performs an in-depth review of ingredient ratios and combinations to ensure it is sound from both a nutritional and health standpoint. Dr. Stout oversees clinical trials so that product claims are not based solely on published data from individual ingredients but from finished goods.
Step 5: Compliance and Safety
All products are checked against internationally published lists to ensure that no banned substances are included. All production runs are conducted in a state-of-the-art facility that follows government-approved Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Before being made available to the public, all products are analytically verified for purity and verified for label claim accuracy to ensure that the information we put on the label is 100% accurate. Following testing, reference samples are kept so that we can hold our products to the highest quality assurance standards.
