Beneficial Proporties

•Composed of 38% Carbohydrates, 45% Protein and 17% Fat of total free energy.
 

Promotes increase in Lean Muscle Mass
•Contains various High Biological Value protein sources to ensure an optimal amino acid profile to promote the synthesis of lean muscle tissue.
•Fusion Mass contains Milk Proteins, Whey Isolate, Whey Concentrate, Casein and Egg Albumin to ensure a continuous  release of nitrogen replenishing amino acids.
•Naturally high in anabolic Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs).
•Contains 4.91g free L-glutamine and protein-bound glutamine (Glutamine / Glutamate) per 75g serving, for preserving muscle mass.
•Provides sufficient energy from carbohydrates and fat to ensure that protein is used for muscle synthesis and not as an expensive energy source.

 

High Protein, Low Carb Meal Replacement
•Contains almost 33g high quality protein, less than 28g carbohydrates and only 5g of fat per serving to ensure immediate and prolonged energy levels.
•Nutritionally complete with added fiber and sufficient vitamins and minerals.

•Maltodextrin, a polysaccharide, is the predominant carbohydrate source and elicits a great insulinotrophic effect. It is absorbed quickly and has a protein sparing effect.
•Contains limited amounts of sucrose.
•Contains Inositol that forms the basis of signaling molecules which is involved in nerve guidance and insulin signaling transduction. 
•Choline plays a role in the central nervous system.

 

Promotes reduction of body fat
•The High Protein and Low Carb / Fat formulation promotes a shift to fat metabolism.
•Protein has a greater thermogenic effect than carbohydrates or fats.
•L-Carnitine may improve fat metabolism.
•Protein and fiber promote greater satiety.

 

Immune Enhancement
•L-Glutamine may play an essential role in maintaining a healthy immune system.
•Contains 33% DRI** per serving of most vitamins and minerals, including the anti-oxidants Vitamins A, C and E.
•FOS* sustains the growth of healthy gut flora essential for a healthy immune system.
 
GUIDELINES TO INCREASE LEAN MUSCLE MASS
  • Follow an individualised periodised training and nutritional program.  Cycle the training regime and nutritional intake.
  • To bulk up, follow a Hypertrophy training program. Increases in lean muscle mass are normally associated with Hypertrophy weight training phases. Minimal increases in lean muscle mass can be expected during Max. Strength, Power, Maintenance (Mixed Training), Transition, Muscle Definition or Anatomical Adaptation training phases.
  • Ensure that your total energy (kcal) intake is more than total energy (kcal) expenditure. An increase of 1000- 2000 kcal per day may facilitate an increase in total body weight.
  • Total protein intake should be 1.5g – 2.0g per kg actual body weight. In specific cases one could consume more than 2g per kg - but for a limited period only.
  • Ensure that you get adequate rest to recover fully.
  • Maintain adequate state of hydration.
  
  • Be realistic. Aim to increase lean body mass with 250g – 500g per week.
  • Monitor your weight, appearance and make adjustments.
  • Lean muscle mass and body fat percentage are more important than overall weight. Overall weight gains can be caused by water retention or body fat increases.
  • Do not use creatine to increase lean muscle mass. Creatine does not increase lean muscle mass. The main benefit of creatine is to assisst training during maximal strength phases. Creatine causes water retention which makes muscle look bigger, creating a false impression of actual muscle size. Only during hypertrophy training can one substantially increase the muscle size/ weight. Creatine is not recommended during hypertrophy training because the anaerobic alactic energy system is not the dominant energy system used during this training phase and it will hamper monitoring protocols to gauge the success of the training regime.
