Abbott Laboratories’ EAS brand has introduced Myoplex Shred, a high-protein, nutrition shake designed for athletes looking to build more lean muscle and achieve their fitness goals.
 
Increasing lean muscle requires training hard and boosting protein intake. Myoplex Shred was developed to meet athletes’ needs by delivering 42 grams of slow-and-fast digesting protein to feed muscles up to six hours. It contains 8.5 grams of naturally-occurring branched-chained amino acids to help muscles recover and reduce soreness after intense workouts. The ready-to-drink shakes have 200-210 calories per serving and are high in protein so they can be enjoyed in-between meals to manage hunger, the company said.
 
A 16-oz. shake has 200-210 calories, 42 grams of protein, 7-8 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of sugar. The product is available in Muscle Mocha with 100 mg of caffeine from coffee, or Chiseled Chocolate and Cinnamon Swole without caffeine.
