What Is Myoplex?

If you need assistance in recharging and restoring muscles, Myoplex presents an option. Myoplex is a brand of performance nutrition products from EAS Sports Nutrition, a company that nutrition and exercise guru Anthony Almada founded in 1992. Recommended for consumption within 30 minutes after a workout, part of a meal plan or a healthy snack, Myoplex is particularly suitable if you are an athlete or serious fitness enthusiast. Myoplex splits into four product kinds: Myoplex Original, Myoplex Strength Formula, Myoplex Carb Control and Myoplex Lite.

Original

Known as the inaugural Myoplex product line-up, the Myoplex Original is divided into the Myoplex Original Ready-to-Drink and its powdered form, Myoplex Original Powder. Containing 42 grams of protein and 300 calories per serving, Myoplex Original is primarily designed for supporting lean mass and muscle recovery. It also contains 24 vitamins and minerals, with 19 g of carbohydrates per serving from the drink and 21 g of carbs per serving from the powder. The Original Ready-to-Drink and Powder are available in six and three flavors, respectively.

Strength Formula

Loaded with 25 g of protein, as well as 23 vitamins and minerals, the Myoplex Strength Formula is the ideal choice if you wish to build strength and manage your weight. The Myoplex Strength Formula Ready-to-Drink offers 280 calories and 35 g of carbohydrates per serving, while the Myoplex Strength Formula Nutrition Bar provides 210 calories and 23 g of carbs per serving. Four flavors are available with each Myoplex Strength Formula product.

Myoplex Carb Control

If you want to keep your carbohydrate levels in check, the Myoplex Carb Control -- only offering 2 g of net carbs per product -- is most appropriate. Myoplex Carb Control also offers 25 g of protein. With each product available in three flavors, it is divided into the Myoplex Carb Control Ready-to-Drink, which offers 150 calories per serving; and the Myoplex Carb Control Bar, which provides 260 calories per serving.

Myoplex Lite

Myoplex Lite consists of the drink, powder and bar. True to its naming, Myoplex Lite, with 20 g, contains less protein than the other Myoplex product divisions. Also, it contains less vitamins and minerals, with a count of 22; and in general, has a lower calorie count, with a 170-to-190 range. The Myoplex Powder, by comparison, has 50 percent less fat than Myoplex Original Powder.
