Prolab introduces a revolutionary approach to the science of building muscle. In pursuit of the ideal muscle building formula, Prolab went directly to the source - Human Muscle Tissue. 
Prolab researchers cracked the code and developed Humino MAAX™, the ultimate in human physiology-based anabolic nutrition. The patent-pending proprietary blend in Humino MAAX™, HMX-20, has been scientifically engineered to include, gram for gram, higher amounts of all 20 amino acids that make up human muscle. You can't say that about egg or even whey protein. Humino MAAX™ beats them both!
Humino MAAX™, with the precise amino acid ratio found only in HMX-20, delivers all of the amino acids your body needs to build muscle. Now you can feed your muscles exactly what they are hungry for, all day long, for maximum muscle growth.
Humino MAAX™ - what muscles are made of!*
- Human Muscle Amino Acid Ratio Formula†•Ideal for Building Muscle™
- Includes all 20 Amino Acids found in Human Muscle
- With Patent-Pending HMX-20
Conserving protein stores through adequate amino acid intake is critical for numerous physiological functions in the body. For instance, maintenance of cellular integrity, lean body mass, muscle strength, and healthy immune and organ function are dependent on adequate amino acid and protein intake.1,2 Thus, meeting the recommended daily intake for protein is essential to help fuel numerous physiological functions in the body while maintaining muscle strength.
For athletes, meeting daily protein requirements can be a challenge. Most healthy adults require a daily protein intake of only 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight (0.4 grams per pound) to meet their nutritional needs. By contrast, the daily protein needs of resistance and strengthtrained athletes may be over twice as high at 1.6 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight (0.7 to 0.8 grams per pound).4
Most athletes are faced with the challenge of consistently replenishing muscle amino acid stores. With Humino MAAX™ all 20 amino acids found in muscle can be conveniently ingested upon waking, after workouts, between meals and before bed to deliver the precise amino acid ratio the body needs to build muscle.*
What is Humino MAAX™?
Humino MAAX™, a muscle amino acid complex, is a revolutionary new approach to building muscle. In pursuit of the ideal anabolic formula, scientists at Prolab went directly to the source??"Human Muscle Tissue.*
Prolab scientists cracked the code and developed Humino MAAX™, the ultimate in human physiologybased anabolic nutrition. The patent-pending proprietary blend in Humino MAAX™, known as HMX-20, was scientifically engineered to yield, gram for gram, higher amounts of all 20 amino acids that make up human muscle. One gram of HMX-20 packs in more total amino acids than a gram of pure human muscle.*
So how does Humino MAAX™ stack up against proteins? All proteins are made up of amino acids. Prolab researchers compared the amino acid profile of human muscle to that of egg protein, considered by many to be the “gold standard” of proteins. Next, they compared it to whey protein, the most commonly used protein. The result? Both egg and whey proteins were lower in several amino acids. Only Humino MAAX™ HMX-20 was higher in all 20.*
Humino MAAX™, with the precise amino acid ratio found only in HMX-20, delivers all of the amino acids the body needs to build muscle.*
Gram for gram, Humino MAAX™ contains more of every amino acid found in human muscle tissue.
Why All The Hype About Amino Acids?
Amino acids, simply put, are the building blocks of protein, and therefore muscle. Amino acids are strung together in long chains by peptide bonds to form proteins that are critical to life itself. Amino acids have numerous roles throughout the body, such as:1,2
- Building muscles and bones
- Critical for cellular repair
- Required for hormones involved in cell-to-cell communication
- Provide the major structural component of all cells in the body
The largest source of protein resides in human muscle, which makes up approximately 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds) of a healthy man’s body mass.2 Protein is the second largest store of energy in the body, but can be quickly depleted if the energy supply from the diet is not adequate to meet the demands of the body’s physiological functions plus daily energy expenditure (see Table 1).
Amino acids are regularly burned for energy or synthesized into other compounds (see Table 2); therefore, consuming enough amino acids each day to make up for these losses and for the losses that occur during periods between meals is critical to good health.2
Amino Acids are involved in numerous physiological functions
