Met-Rx Original Vanilla Meal Replacement, 40-Count

Product Information

How is MET-Rx ® different from a meal-replacement product or other general purpose nutritional supplements?

Original Meal Replacement Vanilla - MET-Rx®

How much total protein per day should you consume on the MET-Rx ® program and what do you recommend as whole food sources of protein? While it is possible to consume too much of any nutrient, the amount of protein in one serving is relatively small considering how much the body can absorb. The human intestine is extremely adept at absorbing all nutrients, including protein. The solid nutrition of MET-Rx ® products is also ideal for seniors. As we get older, we continue to lose nitrogen and body protein and it becomes more and more difficult for us to get the nutrients we need. Maintaining muscle mass and strength is critical to maintaining a high quality of life. Good health at any age depends on good nutrition. Practically everyone can benefit from MET-Rx ®. Perform a taste test. There are so many different meal replacement bars on the market and each company offers a selection of flavors. You may come across such flavors as chocolate pretzel, caramel cluster, peanut butter cup, banana nut bread, almond crunch and blueberry cobbler. Try purchasing a few different bars to discover your likes and dislikes before you decide on your go-to bar. Theoretically, yes, it is possible to attain the metabolic effects of MET-Rx ® products with a well-balanced diet of whole foods, but it would be extremely difficult to do so. Here’s why: the positive metabolic effects of MET-Rx ® products result from its special formulation and precise levels of macro and micronutrients. For example, the protein component of MET-Rx ®, METAMYOSYN ®, is a blend of several different proteins with optimal amino acid compositions and sequences. These proteins are purified, isolated and recombined to create a unique final amino acid array.

The concept behind engineered foods is to fortify whole foods to make them extremely nutrient dense. Calorie for calorie, engineered foods provide a very high concentration of extremely important nutrients. Try to imagine a 300 calorie whole food source that offers over 50% of your daily protein requirement, 100% of your daily calcium requirement and a very high percentage of the recommended daily allowance for a host of vitamins and minerals. While several whole foods contain a high concentration of a few nutrients, it’s highly unusual to find any whole foods that have a broad spectrum of nutrients at very high levels. Also, most people do not have complete control over the selection, growth, storage and preparation of most foods they consume. Many people have become less and less inclined to prepare and consume whole foods in their homes. Much of our daily food intake is consumed outside of the home, which makes it virtually impossible to be completely aware of the nutritional characteristics of foods consumed.
