Our reliable friend creatine makes an expected appearance, and USN delivers. The molecule responsible for saturating your muscles with chemical energy, you can’t go wrong with creatine monohydrate. The quality is reliable and at 5g per serving you won’t need to supplement with extra creatine (unless you’re on a loading phase). L-Glycine Also known as egg white, egg albumen is slower absorbing than whey and the soy isolate and provides a great bridge into the slower absorbing proteins. It’s a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids the body can’t produce; it’s just a shame we don’t get a breakdown of the weight of each protein in the matrix. Calcium Caseinate It’s far less effective than leucine at inducing muscle protein synthesis, so taking both of them together as seen in USN’s Muscle Fuel Anabolic is a great formula. Beta-Alanine No safety concerns or side effects from the stated ingredients are expected at the listed doses. Although with protein shakes, and mass gainers specifically, you can experience some indigestion and bloating. You might feel some tingles with the beta-alanine, but the dose is so low that it’s unlikely. Always consult the label for allergens.

As part of this system, we ensure that the ingredients used in USN products: This mass gainer is aimed at the general gym-goer who is looking for an “all-in-one shake”. Conclusion A blend of casein and whey, usually 80/20. It’s cheap, fairly un-processed, and a cost-effective way of boosting your protein consumption. different sources of protein: Muscle Fuel is a protein shake powder that contains protein from five different sources. It also contains a range of essential and branch chain amino acids to ensure optimal protein absorption and support muscle growth. All-in-one protein shake: USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic Chocolate protein powder is an all-in-one protein shake, with a 54g protein matrix and 5g of creatine per serving.

Overall, I’m a little disappointed in this matrix. It offers the key elements of fast through to slow absorbing proteins, but the quality is varied, and not in the good way. The egg albumen is a nice addition but the calcium caseinate seems like a cheap way of boosting protein content and mixability, when a quality casein would have been superior. USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic powder delivers 55g of protein per serving which is perfect to deliver amino acids which help with protein synthesis. Protein is the most important part of recovery and muscle maintenance. Contains Tolerase L to support lactose digestion for individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose Denatured protein is still usable in the body, but it makes it far slower at getting into the blood stream and to your muscles. The positives? It’s cheap and soluble in water. It’s mainly used in instant creams and milks. Milk Protein Concentrate Casein is everything calcium caseinate should be in this supplement. It’s a quality source of protein that many advocates will use over whey. It forms a gel in the gut and slowly absorbs, meaning long, sustained protein throughout the day and night.A high protein shake designed to increase physical performance: Muscle Fuel Anabolic is a muscle-building high protein powder and creatine mix. We formulate the powder so each protein shake aids physical performance during successive short bursts of high-intensity exercise. BRAND NEW AND IMPROVED FORMULATION All-in-one protein shake: USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic Strawberry protein powder is an all-in-one protein shake, with a 54g protein matrix and 5000mg of creatine per serving • Premium formulation designed to increase physical performance: Added Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism, Zinc supports the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and added Calcium contributes to normal muscle function Despite the positive peaks in the ingredient list, I find it difficult to come around to this shake. It’s not a hard-gainer shake at 564kcal per serving, and its carb content is all high GI and there to enhance flavour rather than to aid sustained recovery. Found in small amounts in fruit, fructose is sweeter than glucose, and when synthesised and added as a sweetener, it bears no health benefits over regular table sugar (sucrose). Although it has the sweetest taste, fructose is absorbed more slowly, through the small intestines, and causes less of a spike in blood sugar than glucose. What is surprising is that USN don’t provide the percentage protein content. Concentrate is typically 35-85%, and other USN ‘Muscle Fuel’ supplements’ include whey protein concentrations of around 45%, so we can assume it’s on the low end. The extraneous ingredients from the low-grade whey will contribute to fat and carb content in the shake. Soy Protein Isolate
