This time, we will be looking at a supplement which I keep very close to my heart: MusclePharm Combat Protein. This powder is amazing in many different aspects but I will cover that later on.

Bodybuilding has been a big part of my life for the last 7 years where I actively practiced the sport, and thanks to it, have learned a lot with regards to training, nutrition, and supplementation. It is through this knowledge and experience that I can write posts such as this one, which provide you (the reader) with a realistic view on the subject at hand. Please note that everything I write in this post is based on my personal experience with the product in question, so it may not be 100% the same for you but it should be close. Let’s get started shall we?

Muscle Pharm Combat Benefits

Let me first start by saying that supplements have become so widespread nowadays that pretty much everyone who goes to the gym makes use of them at one point or another. The problem arises when one is searching for a high-quality product which can be difficult to find considering there are thousands of different products out there all claiming to be the best. The best filter that I can recommend to you when it comes to selecting a specific product are the reviews; real legit reviews such as this MusclePharm Combat one and not ones commissioned by the supplement companies themselves. Now that I got that covered, let us move on to the actual product

As you all probably know by now suitable protein powders vary for people on a bulk and for people on a diet. People in their bulking phase need lots of carbs to help increase their daily calorie intake and as such they tend to go for weight gainers, but people trying to cut often consume fewer carbohydrates and so they go for protein powders that are low in said substance. MusclePharm Combat Protein Powder falls under the latter category as it provides a very high protein source with very little carbs and fats. To be specific each serving provides 25g of protein, 5g of carbs, 1.5g of fat, and about 140 calories. One last thing I want to mention in this regard is that you can still use this powder while bulking; all you have to do is simply supplement your shakes with an added carbohydrate source such as oats for example.

Now not every protein source is the same, and that is what I want to touch upon next. This particular product actually contains a blend of different proteins; some are fast release, some are medium release, and some are slow release. In terms of specific proteins it contains the following:

Whey Isolate
Partially Hydrolyzed Whey
Micellar Casein
Whey Concentrate
Egg Albumen

The idea behind using these different types of proteins is to provide the user with protein for as long as 8 hours. This makes this powder ideal for use before bedtime since it will cover you through the night, but it can also be used at other times of the day as well.

Besides all of the previously mentioned proteins, this product also contains 60mg of added digestive enzym 2014 award es to further support protein digestion and absorption. Last but not least, it also contains added BCAAs and Glutamine, two very important nutrients when it comes to building muscle. All of these positive things combined have earned this product two highly coveted awards from Bodybuilding.com: the Brand of the Year award in 2012 and the Best Tasting Protein of the Year award in 2014. Winning these awards in a highly competitive industry is quite the achievement, which further proves my point that this product is of a very high quality. It also received an overall score of 9 from a total of 3,078 user-posted reviews on said site, which is great.
