Protein powders had already been around a long time when MET-Rx® introduced its Meal Replacement Powder back in 1991, virtually creating a new supplement category overnight. Meal Replacement Powders, as the term suggests, are intended to be used as a substitute for a more traditional type of meal, either for convenience's sake, for the nutritional content or both.
Meal Replacement Powders are nutritionally-fortified protein supplements. Proteins like whey and milk protein aren't good meal replacements because while they do have plenty of protein, they don't supply significant amounts of fat, carbohydrates, vitamins or minerals. These are all essential nutrients and should be consumed at each meal for nutritional balance. But having to add several additional ingredients to a protein shake is inconvenient at best. MET-Rx® Meal Replacement was formulated to be a convenient and complete all-in-one meal replacement, ideal for athletes, dieters or anyone.
For most users, protein is the most important component of a meal replacement formula. MET-Rx® Meal Replacement utilizes a proprietary, doctor-developed blend of whey, milk and egg protein they call METAMYOSIN®. METAMYOSIN® combines fast and slow release proteins along with the superior amino acid profile of egg protein. This is what you'd want in a meal replacement to both fill you up and support muscle growth. Another nice feature of the MET-Rx® Meal Replacement are the 27 vitamins and minerals it supplies, including the full daily value of calcium. There's a modest amount of fat and carbs in MET-Rx® Meal Replacement, just enough to make this a truly complete meal replacement.
