The multi-ingredient supplement (SUPP) resulted in a greater increase in lean body mass (LBM) compared to the placebo (PL) after 10 weeks of resistance exercise training (RET) (SUPP: +4.1 ± 1.3 kg, PL: +2.8 ± 1.7 kg, P < 0.05).
Incorporating a high-quality multi-ingredient supplement may enhance muscle gain during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Greater increases in LBM were observed for SUPP versus PL (SUPP: +4.1 ± 1.3 kg, PL: +2.8 ± 1.7 kg, P < 0.05).
Why this rating

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
