Myoplex® is a line of nutritional products that includes powder shakes, ready-to-drink beverages, and bars. Four different types of products are currently available, including:
- Myoplex Original
- Myoplex Deluxe
- Myoplex Lite
- Myoplex Carb Control™.
These products are made by EAS®, a division of Abbott Nutrition.
Myoplex products contain a mixture of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. The Myoplex Deluxe products also contain
conjugated linoleic acid (
CLA). The Original products contain the most protein (42 grams per serving), followed by Deluxe (30 grams per serving), Carb Control (25 grams per serving), and Lite (15 or 20 grams per serving, depending on the product).
Myoplex is effective for providing calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. However, it is not known if the products work (or work any better than other products) for promoting weight loss, enhancing muscle mass, or improving endurance.
It is generally recommended that people consume one to three Myoplex products per day as part of five or six smaller meals per day. They may be especially suited to breakfast or a post-workout meal. Unless you are trying to gain weight, it is not a good idea to simply add Myoplex products to your existing diet, as the products contain fat and calories.
