GH Factor

Did you now that GH Factor was formulated on the basis of clinical studies demonstrating that the combination of arginine and lysine may increase growth hormone (GH)(1)?

GH Factor contains more than 100% of the dose of arginine and lysine shown to raise plasma concentrations of GH by up to 8-fold (2). When these amino acids were taken separately, no increase in GH was reported (2).

Mass Maker

Mass Maker isn't one of those weight gainers from the 1980s or 90s. As described on the new label, this ultra-premium formula contains proprietary Multi-Action Carbohydrate and Protein Systems:

• Multi-Action Carbohydrate System: Maltodextrin rapidly releases glucose into the bloodstream and stimulates insulin release. In turn, this encourages faster recovery and building of muscle tissue. Longer chain oligosaccharides in Mass Maker's rice syrup solids reduce osmolarity and aid in proper water absorption. Acting as a pre-biotic, inulin supports healthy intestinal flora and insulin sensitivity.
• The Mass Maker Protein System includes fast- and "sustained-release" proteins to help minimize muscle catabolism and maximize anabolism and taurine to support performance.

Gaining mass can be fun when you enjoy Mass Maker YOUR way!Add milk, banana, cream and/or nut butter to make a delicious, nutritious weight gain shake or smoothie.

Muscularity

Muscularity has quietly become a hit with personal trainers who recommend it to their male and especially female clients. On the new label, we explain how to use it for maximum results:

Use: Begin by swallowing 2 capsules with 8 oz of cold water before breakfast, lunch, and dinner (a total of 6 capsules daily). Work up to 6 capsules before each meal (a total of 18 capsules daily). BCAA supplementation may be most effective when consuming a sub-maintenance level of calories (i.e. dieting).

UMP and Muscle Provider

Ultimate Muscle Protein (UMP) and Muscle Provider can be used to make shakes, smoothies, brownies, puddings, cookies and muffins, or as a topping on hot and cold cereals. Get recipes now at the Beverly International forum.

On the new UMP and Muscle Provider labels (as well as Mass Maker), we tell you how to make the perfect shake every time:

Use: To make a delicious shake:

• Pour 8 oz. of cold water into a blender or the container of your choice.
• Add 1 scoop of UMP and blend or mix until the texture is smooth or as you desire it.
• Drink and enjoy!
• For a thicker, sweeter shake, reduce the amount of water slightly. Adding 3-4 small ice cubes when blending will also increase thickness.
• For a thinner shake, add more water.

The best times to use UMP are:

• within 1 hour before and/or after lifting weights (resistance exercise)
• first thing in the morning
• before bed
• any other time of day to increase your daily protein intake
