Competitive Mass
Brand: Lee Haney's Nutritional Support Systems
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Competitive Mass fuels muscle hypertrophy through a dual-action mechanism. The instantized Whey concentrate provides essential amino acids, specifically leucine, which activates the mTOR pathway to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. This builds new muscle fibers. Simultaneously, the blend of Maltodextrin and Sucrose rapidly replenishes muscle glycogen stores post-workout. This insulinogenic response drives nutrients into cells, preventing muscle breakdown (catabolism). Vitamin B6 acts as a crucial co-factor in over 100 enzymatic reactions, optimizing the metabolism of these macronutrients for energy production and utilization.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Promotes lean muscle mass gains
- Rapid post-workout recovery
- High protein content (23g per serving)
- Low fat formula (2g per serving)
- Enhanced nutrient absorption
Usage & Safety
Mix one 65g scoop with water or milk. Best taken immediately post-workout to capitalize on the 'anabolic window' for glycogen replenishment and muscle repair. Can also be used between meals to increase daily caloric intake. Safety: Contains milk, soy, and shellfish (glucosamine). Not for use by those with dairy allergies, pregnant/nursing women, or children under 18 without physician approval. Do not use as a sole meal replacement.
