This unique, custom-engineered nutrition shake is formulated to include protein, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients your body needs to maintain muscle tissue while you reduce calorie intake and optimize fat burning - and it has 33% fewer calories than the original Myoplex nutrition shake. Myoplex Lite has the specially formulated proprietary blend ProLean II comprised of ion-exchanged whey protein as well as soy-protein isolates, which have been shown to support the metabolism as well as muscle mass, especially during a low-calorie diet or an intense training cycle. Scientific studies show soy-protein isolates may help minimize suppression of thyroid-hormone production, which frequently occurs during calorie restriction. Often times, when you go on a low-calorie diet, your body fights back by slowing down your metabolic rate, possibly by reducing thyroid-hormone production. When this happens, losing fat can be even harder than it already is. To complement the metabolic support provided by ProLean II, Myoplex Lite contains a precise blend of natural phosphate compounds which, according to research, may enhance workout performance and support the metabolic rate. In one study, phosphate-supplemented subjects burned significantly more calories than those using a placebo. Myoplex Lite is also unique in that it contains a special blend of carbohydrates which help stabilize blood-sugar levels. One of the novel carbohydrate sources in Myoplex Lite, called xylitol, has been shown in scientific studies to actually help the body burn fat as a source of metabolic fuel over blood sugar. And, to help offset the risk of nutrient deficiencies, which plagues many dieters, Myoplex Lite is formulated with 29 vitamins and minerals as well as amino acids such as glutamine and taurine, which are vital to proper muscle metabolism.
