Critical Mass contains 58 grams of the highest biological value proteins per serving. These will provide the building blocks for your muscle tissue. It also contains a precise ratio of complex and fast acting Carbohydrates. Consuming enough Carbohydrates is essential and will prevent you from losing muscle tissue. This makes Critical Mass ideal for any individual needing a high Carbohydrate meal during the day or after a tough training session.
One of the key complex carbohydrates within Critical Mass is the super-high molecular weight Waxy Maize Starch (WMS). WMS has the ability to replenish the body's glycogen stores much faster than conventional carbohydrate sources. This is accomplished by WMS's ability to bypass the stomach and go to the intestines for immediate absorption. WMS's ability to shuttle all these nutrients and starch into the body gives you an immediate "pump" you can physically feel in your muscles post workout. You will see a much larger, fuller and rounder muscle belly.
Critical Mass also contains a blend of Essential Fatty Acids, Medium Chain Triglycerides and CLA. This blend of “Super Fats” has been designed to give your body the tools that it needs to recover from intense physical exercise.
