Description

ISS’ Advantage Matrix is a high protein low glycemic shake that delivers high quality proteins, amino acids and lipotropics (fat burning nutrients) to maximize lean muscle gain. It includes Advantage Pro Ex proprietary blend of proteins, glutamine, taurine, arginine, AKG (alpha ketoglutarate), Citrimax (garcinia cambogia), MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), borage oil, bromelain and essential vitamins and minerals. Advantage Matrix’s high protein, low glycemic formula is developed to support muscle growth, stabilize blood sugar levels, promote recovery and boost fat burning.  

Advantage Pro Ex contains milk protein isolate, whey and casein proteins. They promote an optimal combination and concentration of amino acids that support positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein) and muscle growth. Recovery agents such as conditionally essential amino acid glutamine, amino acid arginine and AKG help prevent muscle tissue breakdown and support muscle repair. The amino acid taurine helps maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels. Bromelain, a digestive enzyme derived from pineapples, helps improve protein absorption.

Research suggests that lipotropics such as Citrimax help promote fat burning and weight loss. Beneficial fats such as MCTs and borage oil synergistically promote fat metabolism and maximize lean muscle. MCTs are more likely burned as muscle energy than stored as body fat.
