EAS® Launches Myoplex Shred Protein Shake
MYOPLEX® SHRED IS A HIGH-PROTEIN SHAKE DESIGNED TO HELP ATHLETES MEET PROTEIN NEEDS TO INCREASE LEAN MUSCLE
COLUMBUS, OH – May 4, 2017— For athletes looking to build more lean muscle and achieve their fitness goals, EAS is introducing Myoplex Shred, a high-protein, nutrition shake.
Increasing lean muscle requires training hard and boosting protein intake. Myoplex Shred is designed to meet athletes’ needs by delivering 42 grams of slow-and-fast digesting protein to feed muscles up to six hours. It has naturally-occurring branched-chained amino acids to help muscles recover and reduce soreness after intense workouts. And to help achieve a lean look, the ready-to-drink shakes have 200-210 calories per serving and are high in protein so they can be enjoyed in-between meals to manage hunger.
Melvin Gordon, Los Angeles Chargers running back and EAS athlete, uses Myoplex Shred to stay in top shape and build strength as he prepares for the rigorous season ahead.
“There is no off-season when you are competing at the highest level,” said Gordon. “To get an edge, I push the intensity of my workouts and maximize my nutrition with Myoplex Shred. The protein packed into the shakes helps repair my muscles after I work out so I’m ready to train as hard the next time.”
Giving athletes an edge drives innovation at EAS. “Every day, our nutrition experts are working with athletes at every level to develop science-backed products to help them push their performance," said Timothy Monk, general manager of EAS, triathlete and IRONMAN World Championship finisher. "Myoplex Shred gives athletes a great-tasting, convenient, high-protein source to help them work out hard, build muscle and achieve the results they want."
