Olympus Labs: Superior Protein Muscle Building Edition

Olympus Labs have as usual put a unique spin on their first ever protein powder, Superior Protein. Where protein powders are ordinarily pretty much indistinguishable from each other with some combination or other of whey and casein being common, Superior Protein Muscle Building Edition focuses on more than just the protein to deliver something distinctive.

Creating an Anabolic Protein 1 - Protein Source

When it comes to protein powders, there is some disagreement on which protein source is preferable between whey protein and milk protein. While whey is more anabolic, casein is better for mitigating the breakdown of muscle tissue so by combining both in your diet you benefit from the anabolic action of whey as well as the anti-catabolic effects of casein. Superior Protein Muscle Building Edition contains an impressive 13.7g of both micellar casein, the best form of casein protein, and 13.7g of whey concentrate, a form of whey protein rich in bio-fractions. These two forms of whey and milk are also lower in fat and sugar and easier to digest than other types of protein.

Creating an Anabolic Protein 2 - Enhancing Muscle Growth

While Superior Protein Muscle Building Edition would be a good protein just based off the use of micellar casein and whey protein at such doses, the thing that separates this from other proteins is the use of not one, not two, but three separate ingredients designed to enhance absorption, boost growth hormone and otherwise enhance muscle protein synthesis.

While the use of Digezyme to boost digestion is fairly common, what is unique in our eyes is Olympus Labs adding PharmaGABA and Velositol, two ingredients that have been shown to enahnce the performance of whey protein with Velositol being shown in one study to boost muscle protein synthesis by 47% compared to the same amount of whey by itself. Meantime, PharmaGABA has been shown in different research to enhance lean muscle mass by a phenomenal 817% versus whey alone.

While Olympus Labs are more well known for their capsule based muscle builders and powdered fat burners, their first entry in the protein market is undoubtedly a great innovation that is perfect for anyone on a muscle building phase.
