Methoxy ProMethoxy pro (also known as methoxypro) is a popular protein supplement manufactured by one of the industry's top names -- Cytodyne. One of the editors here at Nutritional Supplement Info has personally used methoxypro and was happy with the results he achieved, adding several pounds of muscle and increasing strength markedly after 3 months. (Take this for what it is, an anecdotal opinion, not hard scientific data). Methoxy pro is not what we would consider a weight gaining formula -- it is rather sparse on calories (130 per serving), but high on protein (23 grams per serving). Also, it is low on carbs (4 grams per serving). In short, it's a really good formula for people trying to add lean muscle while reducing or minimizing bodyfat. It would also be good for someone who adheres to a high protein/low carb Atkins diet type. But, is methoxypro the best protein supplement out there? This is an impossible question to answer because there are so many of them on the market and we can't possible try them all out. However, it does contain several interesting ingredients, two of which are methoxyisoflavone and ipriflavone, which are anabolic substances that will help pack on the lean muscle. In the end, all we know is that it worked for us. However, this doesn't mean we recommend it above other muscle building supplements. For example, consider some of the drawbacks: 1) Methoxy pro is pretty expensive. This is probably because it's being produced by a well known name in the industry and therefore they can charge more for their name recognition. 2) One of the editors here personally experienced even better results using creatine to build lean muscle without fat. Read our thoughts on creatine here. 3) There are other generic protein supplements on the market that have similar calories, protein, carb content as methoxypro and may possible work just as well at a fraction of its cost. 4) Protein shakes such as myoplex taste a lot better than methoxypro. Methoxy pro is something you "choke down" because it doesn't taste so great, whereas myoplex shakes are so good you'd drink them just for the pleasure of it. Read about myoplex here. However, overall, if you are looking for a muscle building, fat minimizing, post recovery speeding supplement, you could get a lot worse than methoxypro.
