FOOD & SUPPS SPOTLIGHT BY EDWARD STEVENS BEEF UP! Carnivor Mass Contains: 50 grams of protein, 5 grams of creatine, only 2.5 grams of fat, and no sugar. CARNIVOR PROVIDES THE MUSCLE-BUILDING POWER OF BEEF IN A DELICIOUS SHAKE. NEWS FLASH: Beef builds muscle. Because of its complete amino acid profile and naturally occurring creatine, it’s an ideal source of muscle-building nutrients. The only problem is, red meat contains excessive amounts of calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol, so it’s not your best everyday protein option. Fortunately, MuscleMeds has developed an advanced bioengineered beef protein isolate and created Carnivor, a highly anabolic muscle-building protein supplement. 68 FLEX | JANUARY ’18 EXTRACT AND ISOLATE Carnivor’s line of products utilize advanced extraction and isolation tech nologies to capture the critical raw nutrients and growth factors in lean beef and eliminate the unwanted fat and cholesterol. As a result, Carnivor delivers the muscle-building power of beef with higher amino acid levels than all other protein supplement sources, including whey, soy, milk, THE POWER OF BEEF Because it is hydrolyzed using an advanced six-step process, Carnivor is digested and absorbed as fast as whey and assimilated into muscle tissue at an accelerated rate. What’s more, it contains no lactose, so Carnivor does not cause gastric upset like milk-sourced proteins. RESEARCH BACKS IT UP A study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition showed that athletes supplementing with Carnivor BPI gained an average of 4.6 pounds of muscle mass in just eight weeks while increasing their bench press by more than 40 pounds. In contrast, the placebo group did not significantly improve their lean body mass. HERE’S THE BEEF and eggs. In fact, Carnivor Beef Protein Isolate (BPI) is 350% more concentrated in anabolic muscle-building aminos than a prime sirloin steak—at only a fraction of the calories. Carnivor also captures the unique ergogenic nutrients found in red meat, including creatine, which helps fuel your muscles’ ATP stores to energize contractions, superhydrate muscle tissue, build muscle mass, boost power, and increase strength.
