XL40 Ultimate Protein Bar

Features & benefits:

Macro profile:

With the ultimate nutritional profile, the XL40 includes a harmonious blend of protein (40g), fiber (18g), and fat (rich in mct’s), which work to maximize digestion, build muscle, and aid in recovery. Additionally, with only 3g of sugar, blood glucose levels will remain optimal while fat storage signals stay turned off. Finally, the XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” is also gluten free!

Leucine:

The XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” is rich in leucine, the amino acid most responsible for activating muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth and recovery). Protein science generally agrees that a minimum of 2 grams to 3 grams of leucine is needed to activate muscle protein synthesis, along with 30-60 grams of protein. Mathematically, there’s approximately 1 gram of leucine per 10 grams of quality protein. Thus, with 40 grams of protein, the XL40

“Ultimate Protein Bar” is a leucine powerhouse!

Protein blend:

The XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” is primarily a whey based protein blend, we do however add

Soy protein isolate for several beneficial reasons:

The addition helps to balance the protein and thus aids in the overall protein digestion. This becomes more important and efficacious as total protein grams increase per meal. Soy isolate is also gut friendly. In other words, our immune system likes it and will help

To keep us healthy.

Soy isolate helps to keep the protein blend soft. Think in terms of other protein bars

That become hard and difficult to chew over time.

Soy isolate is a complete protein, it has all the essential amino acids, including the

Correct proportion of leucine.

Fiber blend:

The XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” uses a blend of soluble corn fiber and chicory root fiber. The main advantage of the blend is once again digestibility. The combination of fibers, like our combination of proteins, helps to ensure better overall digestion. Both soluble corn fiber and chicory root fiber are very gut friendly and serve as immune system boosters! 18 grams of fiber is over 60% of the rda, and a little over half of what most experts believe is needed to be

Healthy.

Fat blend:

The XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” uses a blend of palm oil and palm kernel oil. The advantage to this combination is that both oils are high in mct fats (medium chain triglycerides). Mct’s work a little differently than normal fats. They’re basically processed in the liver and provide immediate energy. They help stimulate the body to use fat as an energy

Source. But probably of equal importance, both oils have very little omega 6 polyunsaturated fats. Omega 6 polyunsaturated fats are troublesome as

They tend to oxidize and cause inflammation. The fats in the XL40 “Ultimate Protein Bar” won’t cause inflammation and, in layman’s terms, they won’t stick.
