THE SECRET NEW BEEF PROTEIN TECHNOLOGY USED BY KAI GREENE TO PACK ON MUSCLE AND WIN THE 2009 ARNOLD CLASSIC!

Kai Greene has been working closely with MuscleMeds researches as a test subject on some experimental formulas prior to making them available to the public. When evaluating Kai's protein intake, MuscleMeds researchers noticed Kai was making far better muscle gains when eating beef than when using whey or casein supplements.* At one point, Kai was eating 6 to 9lbs of beef a day and making great gains, but the high consumption of beef was causing stomach distress and also elevating Kai's fat intake and cholesterol beyond where the MuscleMeds research team wanted it. This prompted the development of CARNIVOR, all beef protein isolate, which Kai used to pack on muscle and capture the Arnold Classic Crown.*

Beef Protein Isolate is More Concentrated Than Steak and More Concentrated Than Whey:

Using extraction, clarification, hydrolysis and isolation technologies CARNIVOR's Bioengineered Beef Protein Isolate delivers the muscle building power of beef with higher amino acid levels than many other protein sources used in supplements including: whey, soy, milk and egg. CARNIVOR Beef Protein Isolate is even 350% more concentrated in anabolic muscle building aminos than a prime sirloin steak! And it has no fat or cholesterol!*

Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology (ANRT) Recyles Aminos and Minimizes Ammonia*:

While protein is critical for muscle growth, paradoxically, consuming more protein can sometimes actually decrease performance and muscle growth if nitrogenous waste products like ammonia are not recycled back into anabolic tissue building pathways or otherwise neutralized. ANRT is specially designed to promote...

Muscle gain


Muscle gain		I have made larger gains with this than I have with other products that I have tried.
Strength		I have made larger gains with this than I have with other products that I have tried.
Taste		Compared to what I was drinking as my post workout shake this tastes absolutely amazing,
Taste		however the other product did taste like crap, so anything is an upgrade from that.


Texture		but it really goes down smooth.
Taste		Tastes decent, with a little weird aftertaste,


Strength		This is one of the best proteins ive tried , gave me good results , muscle fullness , and my strength went up , i stack this with gaspari myo fusion and the results are great , the taste is pretty good , you can chug it like kool aid , and as for the foam , you can just let it sit at the bottom and come back in 20 min and the foam turns to juice , i cant wait for the cherry vanilla flavor to come out

Texture		but other than that, if you don't like the milky consistency of whey or milk proteins, this is your fruity alternative.
Taste		I tried two 4lbs jugs of this stuff in fruit punch flavor, and that was enough for me.
Taste		Different tasting and takes some getting used to,


Muscle gain		I gained around 4lb of muscle.
Taste		It was average in my opinion the taste wasnt great


Fat loss		BCAAs are very useful for those looking to lose fat and gain lean muscle.
Muscle gain		BCAAs are very useful for those looking to lose fat and gain lean muscle.
Taste		but the taste is beyond awful.
Taste		I let MuscleMeds politely know about my dissatisfaction with their product, and they were in fact aware of Carnivore's bad taste, as well as its problematic foaming, which would not go away.
Taste		I was reassured that the company was working on revamping Carnivore's formula for taste, as well as working on the foaming issue, and they were in fact coming up with more flavors other than the Blue Raspberry and Fruit Punch they currently offer.
Taste		Citric Acid is a natural preservative, usually sour in taste, and usually inserted into soft drinks or candy to alter the flavor.
Taste		but because you also need to take the taste of the current product into consideration, I unfortunately have to give Carnivore a final rating of a 3/10.
Anti-catabolic		Citric Acid is a natural preservative, usually sour in taste, and usually inserted into soft drinks or candy to alter the flavor.
Endurance		What GKG (Glutamine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate) does for the body is increase stamina.
Endurance		The next ingredient listed is AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate), and what AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate) does for the body is similar to OKG, and it increases stamina.
Ingredient profile		I'm sure by looking at the ingredients as I always do, we can see why Carnivore gets such great reviews and may be one of the best proteins on the market in terms of ingredients,
Ingredient profile		Now, I offer to you the list of ingredients broken down one by one that are listed on the Nutrition Label of the Carnivore protein.
Ingredient profile		Next on the label we have individual ingredients listed one by one.
Ingredient profile		The next ingredient listed on the label is Maltodextrin.
Ingredient profile		Red #40 is listed on the label,
Ingredient profile		So as you can see, there are quite a number of ingredients listed on the label to this product.
Ingredient profile		although it is a lengthy list of ingredients, they are quite beneficial ingredients for you.
Ingredient profile		Personally, on a scale of 1-10 if you based this review on ingredients I give Carnivore an 8/10,

Gas or bloating	Without the addition of cardiovascular exercise, Creatine Monohydrate may cause a bloated feeling and look to your body.


Taste		however, after buying two new batches of it yesterday I can't even stomach the taste.
Taste		This is coming from someone who thought it tasted like kool-aid.
Taste		Now, the taste is sooo bad I can't even stand to use it anymore.
Ingredient profile		I'm unsure if they changed the ingredients or not, if you can stomach it, the gains were nice.


Taste		Also the taste to them are great because they do not have that nasty Whey aftertaste to them so you can enjoy them instead of having to hold your nose while chugging them down.
Value for money		The price is also pretty good when buying them around 30.00 a bottle.


Suppressed appetite		Doesn't make you feel bloated or full so you can drink this and then eat a full meal.


Taste		the taste is very similar to blue raspberry pop rocks in liquid form.
Mixes well		And it mixes great in a blender bottle, stirring by fork or a spoon is very mediocre.


Texture		Doesnt have the thickness that most other proteins have because its concentrated.
Taste		I have only had this for about a week and it does taste like hell BUT you get used to it and its not so bad after a while (or maybe just me).
Taste		p.s. further emphasis it initially tastes like ****.
Value for money		I've read just about every review on this product before i ordered it and everything is pretty much right on the money.


Muscle gain		ive made great gains so far
Strength		ive made great gains so far
Taste		carnivor tastes great and goes down easy.


Taste		It has a distinct taste.
Ingredient profile		Some will like it, some wont and will complain(usually guys that are small anyways) Great amino profile and creatine.


Taste		Pure beef protein isolate with more creatine and bcaa's than a steak, and it tastes great!!


Taste		Taste is not perfect, one can smell that it comes from meat


Taste		Fruit punch is DEFINITELY the better tasting.
Anti-catabolic		Excellent product really helps to keep the mass on and with very little calories, no carbs, fat or cholesterol.
