Human beings seek to be strong. It’s one of our innate desires. Despite our wishes, however, ageing is one of the unavoidable realities of life.
Starting from the ages of 30 to 35, humans lose between 0.5% to 1% of muscle mass every year due to ageing, referred to as sarcopenia. If left unattended, this decline in muscle mass could put someone on the cusp of a disability threshold. There are preventative measures that can be taken to ensure that, despite ageing, the body continues to maintain a healthy muscle mass. The most important factor is regular exercise; however, nutraceutical supplementation also helps.
To assist individuals in slowing down the process of muscle mass loss, we created Muscle 5, a scientifically-proven, health-boosting multi-ingredient powder containing whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate (with calcium), creatine monohydrate, and vitamin D – ingredients known to increase muscle mass, support immune function, and maintain good health. When paired with Omega 3, the powerful combination also helps support immunity and virus protection, cognitive health and brain function, supports cardiovascular health, and reduces serum triglyceride levels.
Our passion for science drove us to study Muscle 5 in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial1. Muscle 5 enhanced muscle mass, strength and function in individuals of varying fitness level and health status1. Importantly, when combined with Omega3 and a home-based exercise regiment, this clinical trial showed health benefits that extended beyond the musculoskeletal system, including improved bone mass density and higher omega 3 fatty acid and Vitamin D blood index in the participants1. Muscle5 supported gains in muscle mass (+1.09-1.65 kg) and strength (+17-27%) in individuals that underwent low-intensity, home-based resistance training for 12 weeks1. Our oldest participant (91 y of age) gained ~9 pounds of muscle mass which led to a 27 lbs improvement on a leg press machine! [1]
Importantly, Muscle 5’s multi-ingredient patented formulation simultaneously targets multiple functions within a cell, resulting in enhanced gains over other protein powder products. In addition, it appeared to restore nutrient deficiencies, such as low vitamin D, protein and omega 3 fatty acid levels, which may enhance immunity and virus protection – a unique benefit that is of relevant importance due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Long-term Health Benefits of Muscle 5 and Omega 3 At A Glance:
→ Improves strength and performance during high-intensity exercise
→ Increases muscle mass in conjunction with regular exercise
→ Lowers triglyceride/cholesterol in the body
→ Helps with cognitive functions
→ Helps maintain a strong immune system
Muscle 5 is a whole-body solution that not only builds muscle and improves strength but also supports good health and is unlike any other product on the market!
