A sustained-release protein excellent for muscle support, with beneficial calcium and sodium content.

Flavour: Vanilla
Analysis

MuscleTech's PHASE8 is a versatile protein powder incorporating multiple protein sources (whey concentrate, isolate, casein) to provide a sustained release of amino acids, ideal for promoting muscle growth and preventing muscle breakdown over extended periods, such as overnight or between meals. This makes it highly beneficial for fitness enthusiasts and general health maintenance. It contains 470mg of calcium and 210mg of sodium, derived from its milk protein content, contributing positively to bone health and electrolyte balance. Online reviews consistently highlight its rich taste and effective results. Nutritionists would endorse its role in a balanced diet for active individuals but would point to more specialized supplements for targeted health concerns beyond protein intake.

Pros
  • Provides prolonged amino acid release for sustained muscle support.
  • Contains a good amount of calcium and sodium from natural sources.
  • Well-regarded for its taste and effectiveness in the fitness community.
Cons
  • Higher price point compared to basic whey protein.
  • Not formulated as a primary solution for specific bone, joint, or heart issues.
  • Artificial ingredients might be a concern for some users.
