MYO Whey Isolate Chocolate Mint
Brand: Abbott EAS Myoplex
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary mechanism of Whey Protein Isolate involves rapid absorption in the small intestine, flooding the bloodstream with essential amino acids (EAAs). This triggers muscle protein synthesis (MPS) via the mTOR pathway, essential for cellular repair. Leucine, a key branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) in the formula, acts as a potent signaling molecule to initiate this anabolic response. Additionally, HMB (Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) helps reduce muscle protein breakdown (catabolism) at the cellular level, preserving muscle tissue during intense physical stress.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Muscle Hypertrophy: Supports the growth of lean muscle mass due to high 26g protein content.
- Rapid Recovery: Reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) post-workout.
- Low Calorie Maintenance: At only 120 calories and 1g carbs, it fits strict cutting or keto diets.
- Bone Health Support: Provides 35% Daily Value for Calcium per serving.
Usage & Safety
Mix one scoop (36g) with 6-8 oz of water or milk. For optimal results, consume within 30 minutes post-workout to capitalize on the anabolic window. It can also be taken between meals to meet daily protein requirements. Safety: Contains Milk and Soy. Consult a physician if you have pre-existing kidney conditions or are pregnant/nursing.
