Meta-Meal was formulated to assist the athlete in achieving optimal nutrition by providing a unique protein blend of undernatured, easily digested and absorbable protein, 2 added grams of L-Glutaine, energy-packed carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals to increase muscle mass, strenght and athletic performance. Meta-Meal packs together 42g of the highest biological value (HBV) protein with a unique blend of undenatured whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate and egg albumin. The addition of NitroZyme helps breakdown long and short chain amino acids into smaller, more readily absorbable amino acids for maximum digestion and absorption. NitroZyme helps the body release more amino acids from ingested protien than the action of digestive enzymes alone. When an athlete takes Meta-Meal (enhanced with NitroZyme), the body can absorb more free amino acids directly into the muscle tissue, which helps to increase muscle size, strength and lean body mass.

Nutritional needs vary from person to person. Regular heavy resistance exercise and physical activity stimulates muscle hypertrophy (growth) as well as protein metabolism. Through stimulating myofibrillar protein synthesis (resistence training), and mitochondrial protein synthesis (endurance training), a significant quantity of amino acids are oxidized (broken down and used for energy) during each type of exercise. Recent data concerning the protein needs for athletes and exercise enthusiasts has found that dietary protein intake of 1.2-2.0g/kg body weight per day is likely needed for individuals participating in regular strength/endurance exercise to achieve optimal muscle growth. More precisely, endurance athletes (marathon, track, soccer, basketball, hockey, etc.) are recommended to consume daily protein intakes of 1.2-1.5g/kg body weight. Strength athletes (bodybuilding, football, etc.) are recommended to consume 1.6-2.0g/kg body weight. Most importantly, for the natural athlete, the amount of protein (grams) per kg body weight is the key to optimal recovery and performance. For example, a male weighing 200 lbs (90.91 kg) training with heavy weights to gain muscle mass and strenght 4-6 times per week would be recommended to consume 182g of protein daily. that accumulates to roughly 36-45 grams of protein per meal. On the other hand, a female training for the same muscle and strengh goals that weighs 130 lbs (59.09 kg) would be recommended to consume 118g protein daily. That accumulates to roughly 20-24 grams of protein per meal. These examples are representations of what scientific evidence is indicating safe and effective daily protein intake for various athletes and their nutrition goals.
