Jarrow Formulations Jarrow Muscle Optimeal Chocolate (2 lbs)

Jarrow Muscle Optimeal is the ideal meal replacement to increase intake of proteins, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Muscle Optimeal is a complete metabolic optimizer incorporating nutraceuticals known to enhance human performance, including whey protein, glutamine and 25 essential vitamins and minerals. 

Why MUSCLE OPTIMEAL is special: Jarrow Muscle Optimeal contains Whey Protein, which helps preserve lean muscle tissue while promoting fat loss. Each serving of Muscle Optimeal provides 44 grams of high biological value protein, providing more than 5 grams of Branched Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine). Since, dietary BCAAs are important for enhanced muscle development, muscle repair and the synthesis of carbohydrates, they must be provided in the daily diet. BCAAs are essential amino acids and body cannot manufacture them itself.
Whey protein is also a great source of immunoglobulins, which are specialized proteins that support the immune process. The whey protein in Muscle Optimeal is rich in glycomacropeptides (17%), which are biologically active proteins involved in the growth of bifidobacteria and improved digestion/absorption of nutrients. For a better anabolic effect, Muscle Optimeal also contains Soy and Rice protein, which are digested more slowly than whey to offer a delayed release of amino acids for muscle protein synthesis.

Jarrow Muscle Optimeal includes the Dieter’s Nutrients Glutamine and Xylitol. Each serving of Muscle Optimeal is loaded with Glutamine (8.0 grams of glutamine and glutamate per serving) and Xylitol to resist the loss of muscle tissue caused by dieting and intense exercise. Animal studies show that Glutamine and Xylitol conserve lean body mass during periods of physical stress. Xylitol is an alditol (a special carbohydrate) which helps to increase physical performance.

Jarrow Muscle Optimeal has a multi blend of 25 essential vitamins/minerals added to it to advance the body’s ability to recover from strenuous physical exercise. Multi blend includes important antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Vitamin B5, Calcium, Iron, Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Maganese, Chromium, Molybdenum and Potassium.

Jarrow Muscle Optimeal also serves as a fiber source as it contains Multi Fiber, which is complex source of fiber from rice bran fiber and rice bran solubles. Chromatographic analysis of rice extract indicates the presence of interesting antioxidants with fantastic potential. Fibers are known to promote healthy bowel function and reduce the accumulation of toxins.

What are Glycomacropeptides?
Glycomacropeptides are low molecular weight peptides found in specially processed whey proteins. These biologically active proteins involved in the growth of bifidobacteria and improved digestion/absorption of nutrients.
What are Immunoglobulins?
Immunoglobulins are glycoprotein molecules, which are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen that function as antibodies. Immunoglobulins enhance immune system

Q: What is Xylitol?
A: Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has been used in foods since the 1960’s.
