Mass & Strength Builders
For 15 dynamic years, bodybuilders and other athletes have turned to ProSource for the most effective supplements our industry has to offer. As a result of this quest for quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to MyoZene™, Creatine and Dark Matter for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Mass & Strength Builders category.
#1 BEST SELLER
MyoZene: Build muscle mass fast with this best-selling powerhouse formula
With compelling research and resounding real-world results, BioQuest's MyoZene has earned the coveted position as the most dominant force among mass-building supplements. This power-packed category leader is anchored with an advanced protein matrix that’s engineered with a synergistic cascade of co-factors to kick-start your body’s muscle-building machinery faster and more effectively than any other product of its kind.
To start with, MyoZene contains a rare and highly specialized hydrolysate technology that results in very low-molecular-weight di- and tri-peptide proteins that bypass the standard slow-moving digestion process and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, speeding aminos and other growth factors to muscles during that critical time right after a workout. In addition, potent amounts of the amino acid L-leucine, micro-pure Creapure® creatine (the world’s best), and highly bioavailable N-acetyl-
L-glutamine have been infused into this superior mass gain formula.
When MyoZene first hit the market, word spread quickly in gyms and on message boards. Sales steadily rose as the evidence of its anabolic superiority passed between hardcore athletes and bodybuilders both amateur and pro. MyoZene was also the subject of a key scientific study conducted by medical and physiology researchers in Miami, Florida and presented at a high-profile conference of the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine. In the one-month study, experienced weightlifters underwent upper-and lower-body strength testing and body composition analysis, followed by a six-day-per-week split-body-part exercise routine for a month. Within the test’s time frame, the MyoZene-receiving subject group experienced gains of 24% in strength/muscular endurance at the mid-study point, and an impressive 32% at the end of the study. For this group to get results like that in such a relatively brief period of time is exceptional, to say the least!
If you haven’t tried the all-powerful MyoZene yet, find out why it has been the single best-selling mass builder here at ProSource, ever since it was introduced.
Editor’s Note: Now that ProSource is the exclusive distributor of all BioQuest products, including MyoZene, we’ll be able to keep these superior, high-quality supplements available to you at the lowest prices industry-wide. Stay tuned for other exciting developments as this pivotal merger continues to unfold.
#2 BEST SELLER
Creatine Monohydrate:
Pure and simply the best creatine on the market
When it comes to proven mass and strength building power, a high-quality creatine monohydrate still rules after all these years. Ever since creatine exploded onto the scene, clinical data have yet to reveal any alternative forms to monohydrate that can stack up. Of course, the research rightfully continues, but meanwhile, the first is still the best — creatine monohydrate. But as a smart consumer, you want to be sure you’re getting the best creatine monohydrate possible, with unmatched purity and effectiveness. ProSource's Creatine Monohydrate utilizes world famous Creapure® German creatine monohydrate, the premier micro-crystalline material recognized by industry experts, and our customers, as the cleanest and most potent creatine available. Not only is it our top-2 seller in the Mass and Strength Building category, it is also our top-selling creatine, period. And those sales figures speak volumes about its power and popularity.
Bottom line: Creatine is an essential component to any bodybuilder’s regimen and ProSource’s Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate ensures maximum results.
#3 BEST SELLER
Dark Matter:
Shine a light on more muscle with this high-quality mass-gain product
MHP’s Dark Matter has earned enough customer loyalty to beat out most of its competitors to garner the coveted position as our number-three seller in this fiercely competitive Mass & Strength Builders category. Dark Matter combines an effective protein source, multi-phase creatine and an insulinogenic complex. The amino-acid matrix of Dark Matter is designed for quick absorption into the intestines, where it can be shuttled to the all-important sites of muscle growth and repair. The creatine and glycerol complex, meanwhile, helps ensure the creatine is transported to muscle cells, while Dark Matter’s tri-polymer carbohydrate matrix composed of a low-viscosity, high-molecular-weight, osmotic waxy maize starch helps enhance insulin levels. This high-quality formula from MHP has proven time and again to be a mass gain product you can count on to deliver real results.

Diet Supplements
For 15 dynamic years, bodybuilders and other athletes have turned to ProSource for
the most effective supplements our industry has to offer. As a result of this quest for
quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition
because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re
the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to BetaStax, Vectron and
Razor Ripped for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Diet Supplements category category.
#1 BEST SELLER
BetaStax:
Transform and energize with this runaway best seller
With throngs of repeat customers and always-strong word of mouth, top-selling BetaStax continues to lead the way as a diet supplement you can depend on for the results you expect.
Ever since it hit the market, this innovative and powerfully effective formulation has been extremely popular. This perennial best seller has a scientifically advanced energy and diet complex featuring a matrix of potent ingredients trade-named PureWay-Slim®. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at the University of Miami, 50 healthy subjects took 250 mg of the main active ingredient complex in BetaStax or a placebo for four weeks. Those taking PureWay-Slim saw significant reductions in body weight, waist and hip circumferences when compared directly to placebo treatment, with results arising in as early as two weeks and continuing throughout the four-week study. It’s a compelling demonstration of BetaStax’s ability to deliver real results.
The scientific validation as a diet product is just one part of its remarkable success story. BetaStax is also a powerful energy booster that can help get you pumped and motivated to tackle a workout head-on, or just give you a much-needed energy boost anytime you need it.
When it comes to diet supplements, you can’t afford to roll the dice on unproven products — go with the one that has earned consumer accolades, university-level scientific validation, and the sales figures that prove its popularity endures. See for yourself why so many bodybuilders across America rely on BetaStax as a cornerstone to their supplementation program.
Editor’s Note: Now that ProSource has recently become the exclusive distributor of all BioQuest products, including BetaStax, you’ll be able to take further advantage of our industry-leading bargaining power that eliminates middle-man markups while offering these superior quality supplements at highly competitive prices. Stay tuned for other exciting
developments as this pivotal merger continues to unfold.
#2 BEST SELLER
Vectron:
Scientifically proven fat loss protein
Clearly, this is not your typical diet supplement. But ProSource’s Vectron has proven time and again that it not only belongs here, it’s an extraordinary entry into this key category. Fact is, Vectron is the first in the industry to deliver a unique weight management system called Prolibra® that is clinically proven to improve the ratio of lean mass to body fat.
In an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial commissioned by the makers of Prolibra® and published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, subjects who took 24 grams of Prolibra® daily showed significant improvements in the ratio of lean mass to fat as compared to a placebo group. While other products focus on one side of the weight-loss equation, Vectron provides a double-edged attack by helping you reduce fat, while at the same time maintaining your hard-forged muscle. That’s why Vectron has continued to earn its best-seller status in this highly competitive category.
Prolibra® is a registered trademark of Glanbia®, PLC

Energy & Endurance
For 15 dynamic years, bodybuilders and other athletes have turned to ProSource for the most effective supplements our industry has to offer. As a result of this quest for quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to BetaStax, Extreme Caffeine and OxyElite Pro for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Energy & Endurance category.
#1 BEST SELLER
BetaStax:
Powerful Platinum Winner BetaStax delivers advanced energy boost and dramatic results
The efficacy of BetaStax as a diet support supplement has been the subject of countless anecdotal reports from satisfied customers, as well as a landmark study conducted on its key main ingredient, PureWay-Slim®. However, there are substantial numbers of BetaStax fans who have no interest in trimming down at all. For these dedicated athletes, BetaStax is quite simply the most preferred energy booster available today and an absolutely indispensable contributor to their daily workout regimen.
A couple of years ago, when we at ProSource received our first advance test batches of BioQuest’s breakthrough thermogenic, we didn’t share them with weight-conscious dieters. We gave them to bodybuilders, and the response was immediate and ecstatic. BetaStax was—and is—a powerful tool for diet support, but all bodybuilders wanted to talk about was the sheer intensity of the energy and stamina boost they received, and its steady and long-lasting staying power. Accustomed to the jitters and energy crash that accompanied the standard stimulant products of the day, they simply couldn’t praise BetaStax enough. Eventually, dieters would agree, as they felt an exhilarating rush of energy and motivation within minutes of taking it. (Of course, if you’re also interested in diet support, you should check out our Diet Supplements category, where BetaStax is also the runaway best seller for more information on the diet support science behind PureWay-Slim® and BetaStax.)
Two years ago, the response was overwhelmingly positive and the resulting demand for BetaStax was so voluminous that we had trouble keeping it in stock. Today, demand remains strong and BetaStax is easily our top seller in the Energy & Endurance category, a position which we expect it to retain in the absence of any competing product that even approximates its efficacy and power.
#2 BEST SELLER
Extreme Caffeine:
Research-backed energy booster and endurance maximizer
Long a staple in the ingredients lists of pre-workout and diet support products, caffeine is almost certainly the most extensively studied bodybuilding compound, documenting its efficacy as a performance enhancer and endurance maximizer. The most prominent recent studies suggest that caffeine has a glycogen-sparing effect, which prolongs the body’s supply of readily available energy. Another theory is that caffeine stymies the perception of pain and minimizes perceived exertion. Research has also shown that caffeine directly affects skeletal muscle and enhances muscular contractile force. ProSource Extreme Caffeine is formulated with a maximum potency 200 mg of the highest-quality natural caffeine available, and unlike most other products of its kind, is combined with 250 mg of L-tyrosine, which may help reduce that “burned out” effect that can occur after taking stimulants over time. Extreme Caffeine's exceedingly effective—and affordable—approach to amping up energy support has made it a consistent best seller.
#3 BEST SELLER
OxyElite Pro: Herb-based formula with added caffeine
Caffeine and green-tea-based supplements have dominated the Energy & Endurance category for years now, and for good reason. Both are proven powerhouses that continue to deliver measurable benefits. On the other hand, OxyElite Pro takes a somewhat different route to results. USP Labs’ proprietary formula includes an herbal based complex of rauwolscine, Bauhinia purpurea, Bacopa monnieri and Cirsium oligophyllum. It does contain 100 mg of caffeine as well but its primary motivator is the herbal complex, which is designed to work synergistically with the caffeine. With some interesting science in its corner, OxyElite Pro has become a popular product in what is a crowded and competitive category. As a company that consistently and creatively explores new territory in the supplement realm, USP Labs has earned a reputation for credibility, making OxyElite Pro worth a try for those seeking to refine their physique.

As a result of this quest for quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to NytroWhey Ultra Elite, Vectron and 100% Whey Gold Standard for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Protein Powders category.
#1 BEST SELLER
NytroWhey Ultra Elite: Ultra-advanced super-protein emerges as a potent driver of phenomenal mass gains
Long-time fans of the NytroWhey line of premium proteins have been ecstatic over the power and potency of the new matrix of muscle-growth agents incorporated into NytroWhey Ultra Elite. These proteins, formulated by Glanbia® Nutrition, the USA’s foremost protein manufacturer, are far and away the biggest protein breakthrough for bodybuilders since the appearance of original NytroWhey over a decade ago. Given the tremendous amount of positive feedback we’ve been getting since the first day of NytroWhey Ultra Elite’s availability, it should come as no surprise to find it here at #1 in this most important category.
This stunning new development in cutting-edge protein technology begins with a new ultra growth-factor-rich Cross Flow Microfiltration (CFM) Whey Protein Isolate that provides maximum bioavailability and spurs elevated blood amino acid levels for hours. NytroWhey Ultra Elite also contains TherMAX® Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, a premium, ultra-rapid action WPH designed to flood aminos into the bloodstream immediately upon ingestion. These two advanced proteins are unprecedented in their anabolic action, a level of mass-building power that is increased still further with a third component. Leuvon™ 590 Cross Flow Nanofiltration (CFN™) Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate is fortified with an advanced Leucine-Bound Leucine Peptide (LBLP) essential to switching on anabolism. Leucine directly activates a critical compound in muscle that functions like a molecular switch to turn on the protein synthesis machinery in muscle. And NytroWhey Ultra Elite contains up to four times the leucine found in other whey protein products.
The final heralded accomplishment is the flavor system. The NytroWhey line has always been famous for its rich and delicious flavor. This time, if sensational consumer response is an accurate indicator, we’ve really outdone ourselves with NytroWhey Ultra Elite.
Based upon this revolutionary complex of muscle-growth agents, the new NytroWhey is literally unsurpassed in switching on anabolism, spurring protein synthesis, enhancing recovery, and generating real results that you can see and feel from the first dose onward. NytroWhey Ultra Elite appears poised to dominate the Protein Powders category for a long time!
#2 BEST SELLER
Vectron:
The world’s first clinically validated fat-loss protein
Vectron’s a rare product that can offer a benefit virtually unique to the supplement marketplace. But that’s the defining characteristic of Vectron®, the first supplemental protein designed to help athletes get truly ripped while preserving lean muscle. Vectron contains an elite new fractionated protein complex called Prolibra®, a specialized bioactive peptide matrix along with a special whey mineral complex designed to precisely target essential mechanisms of body transformation.
The hard clinical evidence is extraordinary. In an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, subjects taking Prolibra® retained twice as much lean muscle while at the same time experienced 79% fat-loss compared to the control group at 51% fat loss. No other protein complex has ever been clinically shown to achieve this type of body composition improvement in a 12-week period (not to mention at such a modest daily dose of only 24.4 grams per day). With its gourmet, milk-shake flavor and remarkable, clinically validated benefits, Vectron is well established as the #2 overall best seller in this most competitive of product categories.
#3 BEST SELLER
100% Gold Standard Whey:
Broad spectrum whey content, with Aminogen
100% Gold Standard Whey from Optimum Nutrition is a fine example of a product designed to do one thing and do it well. Here the emphasis is on a broad spectrum of rapid- to extended-action whey content, with reduced fat, cholesterol, lactose and carbohydrates. The whey protein blend contains whey protein isolates, ion-exchange whey isolates, whey protein concentrate, and HydroWhey hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. While some bodybuilders are suspicious of ion-exchange proteins or concentrates of any sort, there can be little doubt that 100% Gold Standard Whey has earned many satisfied customers over the years. The addition of an Aminogen® enzyme blend to facilitate protein digestion enhances its appeal. Optimum Nutrition’s flagship protein is firmly entrenched in the number three position among our best sellers.

Congratulations to Supreme Protein, Zero Impactand Promax for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Protein/Energy bars category.
#1 BEST SELLER
Supreme Protein®: Bodybuilding’s premier protein bar, now in a doubly delicious new flavor
So often, the designation of being “the best” is a matter of degrees. The difference between first and second place is often close in so many areas of competition—but that is not the case in the category of Protein/Energy Bar. In this area, one bar stands so far above the rest, it’s not even a fair fight.
Fact is, Supreme Protein has demonstrated an ultra-dominant performance, in sales, industry accolades, taste tests and where it counts most—the loyalty of its ever-growing customer base of bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts and the general population, nationwide.
Even though Supreme Protein® is a remarkable muscle-building supplement with pronounced anabolic power, there is no escaping the fact that the taste is what you notice first. These gourmet bars deliver an explosion of flavor that is so delicious most users are known to exclaim, “it tastes better than a candy bar!” But they won’t be saying that about the new Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor, because it actually tastes better than the sandwich! Anyone who has tried it can’t help but be amazed. It’s real peanut butter, real fruit jelly and real delicious. That and its superior protein profile have helped Supreme Protein® earn an unprecedented number of coveted titles such as “Protein Bar of the Year,” “Best Tasting Bar” and “Brand of the Year,” on its way to over 20 major awards from the industry’s top bodybuilding publications, mega-retailers like GNC and other retail associations from across the country.
This ultimate functional food contains the highest quality protein profile available in bar form, powered by premium amino-rich whey isolate as its primary source. In other words, each bar delivers more pure muscle-building protein per dose than most protein powders—period!
The sensational new Peanut Butter & Jelly, along with the 6 other phenomenal flavors and its growth-factor-rich anabolic advantages make Supreme Protein an award-winning juggernaut among protein bars. It’s an incredible choice for those looking for a powerful assist in their weight training and athletic pursuits. Temptation never tasted so great!
#2 BEST SELLER
Zero Impact:
Take charge with this higher-calorie protein bar
With 440 calories per bar, VPX's Zero Impact is built specifically for hard-training athletes and bodybuilders who need critical calorie infusions during the day. Zero Impact’s formula is built around 30 grams of protein, 35 grams of carbohydrates, and 20 grams of fat, providing a slew of raw materials for post-training support. The proprietary protein matrix is a mix of milk protein isolate, whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and micellar casein. Meanwhile, low-glycemic carbs are included to support a steady flow of longer-lasting energy, and the fats are derived from healthier sources such as almond butter, sunflower butter, conjugated linoleic acid and sesame oil extract. If you’re on a calorie-restricted diet, you’ll want to look elsewhere. But if you’re seeking more of a meal replacement rather than your typical protein bar to augment your daily intake, VPX’s Zero Impact can help in dramatic fashion.
#3 BEST SELLER
Promax:
A tasty treat with a range of flavors
We were mildly surprised to find Promax as our number-3 seller primarily because its nutrient profile is lacking, in our opinion. But for a quick snack with a range of interesting flavors, they have proven to be a popular stalwart in the protein-bar category. The choices include black forest cake, lemon, cookies ‘n’ cream, double fudge brownie, honey peanut, rocky road and chocolate mint, among others. The 20 grams of protein in each bar is a blend of whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate, glutamine and the branched-chain amino acids, while each bar also includes oat fiber, soy fiber, beet fiber and a selection of vitamins and minerals. While Promax bars admittedly aren’t the most impressive option nutritionally in the category, they do have decent taste (high-sugar content not withstanding).

Congratulations to NutriPure, Macrobolic and Lean Body for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Meal Replacements category.
#1 BEST SELLER
NutriPure Supreme: High-grade, cutting edge ingredients put this MRP at the top—again
If you’re looking for a meal replacement product that values high quality ingredients and overall effectiveness over marketing hype, ProSource’s NutriPure Supreme is your best choice. In fact, NutriPure goes above and beyond by offering a cutting-edge Super-High-Nutrient Repartitioning System. This proprietary complex is designed to deliver maximum results by blending advanced proteins, healthy fats, fiber and top-quality carbohydrates into one truly exceptional product.
NutriPure’s main focus is providing advanced proteins, including 42.5 grams of premium grades of cross-flow micro-ultra filtered whey isolate and micellar casein, plus whey hydrolysate subjected to an exceptionally high degree of hydrolysis. It’s important to note that the elite form of micellar casein protein found in NutriPure is quite rare in the MRP category, and is a prime example of how ProSource is fully dedicated to providing one of the best meal replacements in the industry. Bodybuilders and athletes alike will appreciate how this perfect mix of fast, medium, and slow-absorption proteins can fuel their muscles for hours. You simply cannot find a better infusion of protein from an MRP, period!
NutriPure also contains a unique Energizing Nutritional Matrix – an unparalleled MRP development that offers a 15-gram carb blend, made up of complex oat bran and sweet potato powder, which helps support energy levels, enhance satiety and replenish glycogen. It’s also not as carb-heavy as most brands, contains six grams of anabolic lipids from healthy sources such as CLA, flaxseed, high-oleic sunflower oil, as well as a full compliment of minerals, vitamins and a digestive enzyme blend.
NutriPure Supreme has risen to the top of the Best Sellers list because of its outstanding design, delicious taste, premium ingredients, excellent performance benefits, and best of all, customer satisfaction. This is a rock solid MRP any bodybuilder would be smart to include in their regimen.
#2 BEST SELLER
Macrobolic: High quality combination of good taste and fortified nutrition
The MRP category is surprisingly sparse when it comes to top-notch products. There are a few, like this one, but most fall too short in one area or another. To that end, MHP’s Macrobolic delivers, with a ratio of 45 percent protein, 35 percent carbohydrates and 20 percent fat. The protein matrix arguably leaves a little to be desired, lacking a higher quality version of whey, but if this product isn’t your main source of daily protein (and it shouldn’t be), it still contains a satisfactory 32-gram blend of soy protein isolate, calcium caseinate and whey protein concentrate. Macrobolic also includes significant levels of the critical amino acids glutamine, arginine and the three branched-chains. As for carbs, the formula is low-glycemic in nature, derived from oats and barley. Essential fatty acids from key sources like borage oil, flaxseeds and evening primrose oil, as well as MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides), CLA and a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, help round out the blend and make Macrobolic a strong — and flavorful — meal replacement option.
#3 BEST SELLER
Lean Body: Bodybuilding champion delivers with a solid MRP
Companies formulating the better MRP’s on the market are meticulous in what ingredients they include. Take Labrada’s Lean Body Meal Replacement Shake. It starts with 40 grams of protein, specifically a blend of cross flow whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, cross-flow micro-filtered whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate and glutamine peptides. Next is what the company terms the “EFA Plex,” a mix of sunflower oil, MCT oil (i.e., medium-chain triglycerides), flaxseed oil and borage oil, delivering a slew of “good” fats for health and exercise recovery. The more self-explanatory “Fiber Plex” is made up of polydextrose, fibersol 2 fiber, oat flour and rice bran. Add a range of vitamins and minerals, and Lean Body is truly a well-rounded meal replacement, further indicated by the fact that it’s our number-3 seller in the category.

Testosterone Boosters
For 15 dynamic years, bodybuilders and other athletes have turned to ProSource for the most effective supplements our industry has to offer. As a result of this quest for quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to AndroTest Extreme, ZMA and TribuTest for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Testosterone Boosters category.
#1 BEST SELLER
AndroTest™ Extreme: The category leader, still unrivaled in potency and power
AndroTest® Extreme has been the industry gold standard among testosterone boosters for so long that we’re beginning to believe that other manufacturers have given up trying to equal it, given the fact that no other product even comes close to the ingredient and processing standards associated with AndroTest Extreme. Even more importantly, when will another product be validated by the kind of brand-specific study that AndroTest Extreme passed with flying colors?
In that study, our #1 best seller in the T-Booster category was given the ultimate test, one that other purported T-boosting supplements have avoided. In the independent product specific trial conducted with AndroTest® — not just an ingredient or two, but the whole formula — it was put through the paces, and emerged with statistically significant increases in free testosterone levels in the subjects who took it, up to 218% over baseline. In addition, statistically significant increases in total testosterone levels were also measured, with results as high as 275% over baseline. The fact such dramatic increases were observed is remarkable in itself — moreso is the fact that those numbers were over baseline, and not in comparison to a placebo group.
This result came as no surprise to the ProSource R&D team, since AndroTest’s key ingredient is a specialized, highly bioactive form of standardized Tribulus from Bulgaria that yields a minimum of 40% protodioscin, which is up to 40 times more than that of other similar products. AndroTest Extreme amps its unprecedented T-boosting effectiveness up another notch with the inclusion of a specialized fenugreek extract standardized for 50% fenusides. Trade-named Testofen®, this extract has demonstrated its own anabolic support activity in another clinical study.
AndroTest Extreme's long reign as the best seller in this category is a testament to the fact that ProSource customers know and respect quality when they see it. Given this product’s virtually insurmountable technological edge, we expect AndroTest Extreme to reign unchallenged as #1 in the T-Boosters category for quite some time. Because of its superior quality formula, clinical testing and natural approach to testosterone support, AndroTest Extreme is a clear-cut #1 Best Seller that has more than earned a spot in any serious trainer’s supplement arsenal.
#2 BEST SELLER
ZMA®:
Simple complex—real results
ProSource’s ZMA is an ultra-premium-grade complex that provides real results for those looking to increase testosterone, strength and vitality. This is evidenced by its status as the #2 seller in this always-competitive category. This simple complex of zinc, magnesium and vitamin B-6 has been shown in university research to provide significant gains in college athletes. ProSource ZMA is the same formula used in the study. As if this isn’t enough,ZMA is also one of the most affordable T-boosters on the market.
Though it doesn’t have the unprecedented T-boosting power of AndroTest Extreme, it does have a great price, proven performance results and premium quality ingredients so it’s no wonder ZMA holds strong in this category. It works perfectly as a stand-alone or can be incorporated into other supplementation regimens for added effect. Combat zinc and magnesium deficiencies, help boost testosterone levels and increase your strength and growth potential with this immensely popular anabolic agent.
#3 BEST SELLER
TribuTest:
Potent Tribulus terrestris extract for high-quality T-boosting power
Searching for a quality T-booster at an economical price can be a tricky business because of the wide disparity that exists among products in this category. Fortunately, ProSource TribuTest takes the guesswork out of the equation by providing a powerful and ultra-pure product that supplies 1000 mg of genuine Bulgarian Tribulus extract. Tribulus from Bulgaria has been documented to yield significantly higher potencies and powerful saponins not found in tribulus from other parts of the world. TribuTest is specially processed to yield a highly bioactive standardized extract (40% minimum steroidal saponins) and represents one of the best values on the market today. The only tribulus products we’ve seen that offer higher value are the elite AndroTest formulations, which dominate this category. For those athletes on a budget, however, TribuTest is a praiseworthy alternative and our consistent number-three best seller.

AlphaFury: Best in Class winner provides
three distinct pathwNext-generation thermodynamic muscle pump catalyst takes the Pre-Workout category by stormays
While most companies are busy tweaking minor variations on existing technologies, the best and most visionary manufacturers are re-inventing the category and establishing new technologies that the competition won’t catch up to for years. That, in a nutshell, is the story of BioQuest’s new pre-workout technology AlphaFury™. Certainly there’s nothing wrong with the best arginine-based muscle pump complexes out there (BioQuest’s own FusionForce has been an industry leader for years). But AlphaFury is a dramatically different mechanism that achieves an unprecedented vasodilatory effect, making it the most exciting new technology to appear in the Pre-Workout category in several years.
AlphaFury’s primary active ingredient is the advanced new vasodilation catalyst GlycoCarn® (glycine propionyl-L-carnitine, or GPLC). This patented, biochemically modified compound has been extensively researched for performance-enhancing benefits and has been linked in scientific studies to the promotion of a number of critical exercise benefits as a result of the massively increased vasodilation it causes. Specifically, these benefits include improved muscle pumps and performance, enhanced recovery support, and added energy for workouts. GlycoCarn also has strong antioxidant benefits, and is active in the body for extended periods for improved athletic performance.

Jack3d: Triple-action pre-workout booster
Jack3d is a straightforward pre-workout formula that includes arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG), beta-alanine, creatine monohydrate and caffeine. The first, AAKG, has been shown to help increase strength and vasodilation, increasing pump and nutrient flow to working muscle, while beta-alanine helps to increase carnosine levels in skeletal muscle, which in turn serves as a buffer against acidity and helps delay fatigue. Creatine, of course, is a workhorse that has been proven in study after study to improve power. The other core ingredient, caffeine gives you the energy boost most bodybuilders are looking for in this category.
A couple other compounds bear noting in this popular formula including geranium (1,3-dimethylamylamine), which contains a compound that is purported to help boost workouts, and schizandrol A, which is being studied for its potential to help increase output. Holding strong as the #2 best-seller in this vital category speaks volumes about this powerful pre-workout. Before you hit the gym, get Jack3d.

Post-Workout
For 15 dynamic years, bodybuilders and other athletes have turned to ProSource for the most effective supplements our industry has to offer. As a result of this quest for quality, these three extraordinary products have consistently outsold the competition because they’ve proven to be the best supplements in their class. Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to MyoZene™, Dark Matter and After Mass for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Post-Workout/Recovery category.
#1 BEST SELLER
MyoZene™: The best-selling phenomenon in both Post-Workout and Mass Builders categories!
Some manufacturers depend on massive marketing budgets and multi-million-dollar ad campaigns. Others put out a high-quality product and let the best advertising—word of mouth—carry it to the top. After years of dominating the competition in both the Post-Workout and Mass Builders category, you can definitely place MyoZene in
the latter category.
Years before other manufacturers were even aware of the efficacy of ultra-rapid-action protein hydrolysates, the BioQuest R&D team was busy revolutionizing mass-building science. Today, the competitors still haven’t caught up. MyoZene is powered by an advanced protein source that’s put through an extensive hydrolysis process, which yields very low molecular weight di- and tri-peptides that are more easily absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion and routing to muscles for rapid and highly efficient muscle protein synthesis. To augment this anabolic cascade, MyoZene is formulated with a precise and highly potent blend of L-Leucine and high glycemic carbohydrate, which enhances the output of insulin.
A study conducted by medical and physiology researchers in Miami, Florida and presented at a high-profile conference of the prestigious American College of Sports Medicine scientifically validates this formulation’s remarkable benefits. The subjects were experienced weightlifters who underwent upper-and lower-body strength testing and body composition analysis, followed by a six-day-per-week split-body-part exercise routine for a month. Within the test’s time frame (one month), the MyoZene-receiving subjects experienced gains of 24% in strength/muscular endurance at the mid-study point and 32% at the end of the study. The strength increases demonstrated with MyoZene extend well beyond what has been observed with any other supplement of its kind (including high-dose creatine-based supplements).
These study results have been echoed by reports from countless satisfied bodybuilders whose glowing praise has been passed on from gym to gym and athletic forum to athletic forum, making MyoZene not just the leader in overall quality but the runaway leader in sales here at ProSource as well, a situation we don’t expect to change any time soon.

Dark Matter:
Fast-acting protein hydrolysate / insulinogenic
The formulators at MHP are respected throughout the industry for providing well-thought-out, quality products and for this one they set out to create an effective combination of protein, a multi-phase creatine complex and an insulin support complex to enhance amino acid, creatine and glutamine transport. The cornerstone of Dark Matter is a protein source consisting of an amino acid matrix fine-tuned for fast intestinal uptake. Specifically, Dark Matter utilizes a matrix of free amino acids and short-peptide chains including a specialized dipeptide containing leucine and alanine. It then enhances the process by helping to trigger a spike in insulin levels via a tri-polymer carbohydrate matrix comprised of a low-viscosity, high-molecular-weight, osmotic waxy maize starch. As always, MHP’s attention to detail is praiseworthy and their 2nd place showing here is well-earned.
#3 BEST SELLER
After-Mass:
Pioneering post workout formula with fast acting whey hydrolysate
Some products are so far ahead of their time that it can take the bodybuilding establishment years to catch up. ProSource’s After Mass is one such product. Long before competing manufacturers began touting the combination of hydrolyzed proteins and high-glycemic carbs as the hottest mass-gaining concept in bodybuilding, the power of After Mass was already at work helping to promote serious gains through its advanced matrix of ultra-fast hydrolyzed protein, high-glycemic carbs and 12.25 grams of powerful anabolic/anti-catabolic aminos. This powerful combination is ideal for shutting down catabolism, jump-starting protein synthesis and initiating recovery and repair in the short mass-building window after a workout. This advanced formulation also takes the concept one step further by including slower release proteins and low glycemic carbs to cover both ends of the spectrum. As a result, After Mass continues to be one of the most powerful post-workout maximizers available and a perennial best seller, even as other products come and go.

Simply stated, they’re the top sellers because they’re the best products. Congratulations to Joint Command®, Ultra Cissus and Omega 1250 for earning the coveted 2011 Best Sellers award for the Joint Support category.
#1 BEST SELLER
Joint Command®: Comprehensive joint support you can’t afford to be without
While athletes often focus on mass-building and diet supplements
to enhance their physique, those in the know also recognize the pivotal importance joint health plays in the pursuit of a strong body. ProSource customers are right in line with that thinking, having made Joint Command, once again, the best seller in this category.
Every dose of Joint Command starts with 1,500 mg of pure, stabilized, 98% absorbable glucosamine sulfate. This is the amount and form of
glucosamine that has garnered all the positive clinical research showing
its remarkable abilities to protect and repair joint cartilage. It also contains a high-potency dosage of chondroitin sulfate, renowned in the scientific literature for its support properties, and methyl-sulfonyl-methane
(MSM), an organic sulfate noted explicitly for its benefits in helping to decrease joint degeneration.
Those three compounds alone would make Joint CommandJoint Command one of the top-notch products in the category. But the development team at ProSource refused to stop there. They also included UC Type II collagen in the
formulation — that’s a key component for healthy joints and enhanced flexibility. Also in the mixture is Lyprinol, for its demonstrated anti-inflammatory support, Nexrutine, a potential COX 2 inhibitor and rounding out the seven-pronged ingredient matrix is Fruitex, which plays a role in helping to keep bones and joints healthy.
You simply cannot have a strong, healthy body without strong flexible joints. The two go hand-in-hand as weak joints and connective tissue leave you open for reduced reps, injury and even missed workouts. Give your muscles the support structure they need.
Join the legions of savvy bodybuilders and athletes who have helped make Joint Command a resounding success.

Ultra Cissus:
Versatile pure and potent “super nutrient”
Cissus quadrangularis is one of those rare compounds that continue to amaze
the scientific community with their ongoing discoveries of its many key benefits. The impact of Cissus is wide ranging, but of special interest to athletes is its potential as a diet support and anti-inflammatory aid, and in this case, its key support of joint health and function, including helping maintain connective tissue health, especially tendons.
Because its popularity is growing, purity and potency can be easily compromised. ProSource, wary of this fact, only uses Cissus standardized for high active content representing one of the purest and most bioactive forms available. In fact, ProSource Ultra Cissus contains 750 milligrams of a high-grade extract of Cissus quadrangularis standardized at 10% steroidal glycosides. This represents the highest quality material industry-wide. For those seeking additional joint protection, ProSource’s Ultra Cissus will help keep you training hard and healthy in the iron game.

Omega 1250:
Super potent form of Omega-3’s offer key support for joints
In addition to the cardiovascular, skin and mass support benefits rendered by omega-3 fatty acids, its remarkable inflammation-reducing properties has landed Omega 1250 squarely in the top three best-sellers of the joint health category. ProSource’s Omega 1250 is fortified with a higher amount of essential fatty acids than most any other brand, with 300 mg of DHA and 450 mg of EPA per softgel, which makes it one of the top bodybuilding choices for joint support and overall health. Couple that with omega’s support of muscle tissue recovery, good cholesterol levels, and the immune system, and there’s little doubt as to why Omega 1250 is as popular as ever among athletes interested in performance, recovery and health. Clearly, there’s no question that omega-3’s should be an essential addition to your regimen and that Omega 1250 offers the best our industry has to offer.

Up Your Mass: Packed with quality calories, proteins and carbs
Simply adding calories to your diet to pack on some weight is easy. It’s not as easy, however, to add on quality calories to ensure you’re packing on mass and not fat. That’s where a top-notch weight gainer formula is crucial for adding on pounds of thick, dense muscle. Up Your Masss contains a protein matrix of whey concentrate, soy protein isolate and casein in a proprietary Probolic-SR formulation that provides essential aminos and other nutrients to the muscles quickly, while also ensuring that nutrients are still being provided hours after using Up Your Mass, so you get an extended infusion of protein.
In addition, Up Your Mass contains a complex of low-glycemic carbs, including barley, oats and oat fiber, which is a large reason for this product’s success. These low-glycemic carbohydrates assimilate at a steady rate so that they offer your body long-term value. The inclusion of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) along with glutamine ensure that hard-gainers get a large portion of essential fatty acids and further mass gain and recovery support as well.
As many ectomorphs know, putting on lean mass isn’t easy, and the process often turns into a matter of devouring anything in sight just to counteract fast metabolism. Fortunately for the metabolically challenged athletes out there, top-notch products like Up Your Mass are available to make gaining quality mass a much easier task. And the fact that Up Your Mass now offers five delicious flavors shows why it has risen to the top of the Best Sellers in the weight Gainers category. Now in new Peanut Butter Cookie.

Super MegaMax®:
Superior daily multiple built for those who demand performance
Forget about finding a daily multiple on store shelves. Those are made for the average person and we all know there is nothing average about the nutritional needs of the athlete. For a daily vitamin/mineral/antioxidant super multiple that is scientifically formulated specifically for the bodybuilder, those in the know turn to ProSource and Super MegaMax. This full spectrum, ultra potent complex provides the cutting-edge nutritional support that meets the needs of the most demanding pro athletes, as well as anyone who needs that extra fortification for their physical endeavors.

Vital Men's:
A wide array of important nutrients geared toward the active man
Vitamins and minerals are the nutrient precursors necessary for the proteins, healthy fats, herbal compounds, and other nutrients found in many of the other supplements you may take.
Like many categories in the supplement marketplace, it’s definitely buyer beware among multivitamins, as not all are created equal. Sure, many of them are adequate for the sedentary population, but athletes need more than just an average run-of-the-mill formulation. That’s because intense activity burns through calories and puts the body under stress — and recovery becomes vital to performance. ProSource’s Vital Men's was created with the active man in mind, with precise, impactful dosages of 23 vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, D, E, K, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin, plus calcium, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese and chromium, among others. But Vital Men’s doesn’t stop there, with fundamental male-health-oriented additions such as saw palmetto, nettle root, raw oyster extract, Korean ginseng, PABA (para aminobenzoic acid), odorless garlic and alpha lipoic acid. In combination,Vital Men's is a perfect complement to an energetic, high-performance lifestyle, easily holding its own in the top 3.

#1 BEST SELLER
Muscle Milk: Popular nutritional drink continues its dominance of the category
No matter what innovations come along in the ready-to-drink category, one element remains consistently key to consumers: Taste. If the flavor of the product is lacking, so will its popularity among those who are seeking nutritional support from this category of supplementation. If the flavor is not there, neither are the customers.
That important feature is why CytoSport’s Muscle Milk is a bestseller in this category year after year. Of course, CytoSport doesn’t merely rely on that aspect alone. Muscle Milk has a solid nutrition profile that includes the company’s EvoPro Protein Complex, containing micellar alpha and beta caseins and caseinates, whey concentrates rich in alpha-lactalbumin, whey peptides, L-glutamine and taurine. It also has a vitamin and mineral blend with vitamins A, C, D, E and all the essential B vitamins, along with calcium, iron, phosphorous, iodine, magnesium, zinc, chromium, sodium and potassium, and an amino acid blend (L-leucine, glutamine and BCAAs). Phyto-nutrients like green tea and grape seed extract, and a digestive enzyme blend are also in the formulation.
While some may be concerned when seeing the fat count on the Nutrition Facts label of a Muscle Milk — a 17-ounce ready-to-drink container of the chocolate flavor, for instance, has 17 grams of fat — a good portion of that is the healthy variety. Muscle Milk is fortified with canola oil, sunflower oil and polyunsaturated long-chain vegetable oils, which may provide antioxidant protection. Thanks to the nutritional profile — and that aforementioned great, satisfying taste — Muscle Milk is a solid choice for your meal-replacement needs.

When it comes to high-performance nutrition, who knows the needs of athletes better than a top-level professional bodybuilder? Lee Labrada, the champion bodybuilder and company founder of Labrada Nutrition, formulated Lean Body RTD with 40 grams of quality protein, plus 8 grams of fiber, 9 grams of fat mainly from medium-chain triglyceride oil, borage oil and flax oil, and a small 9-gram dose of carbs for those watching their total calorie count. Knowing that bodybuilders and athletes are often meticulous about everything they take in, Labrada was also sure to leave out lactose and sugar. With the nutrition bases covered, Labrada was careful on one more very important aspect of the product — the flavor. The total package is what has madeLean Body a perennial bestseller, and is a top-notch choice for pre-workout, post-workout or any-time meal replacement.
#3 BEST SELLER
Syntha-6:
Great tasting meal replacement RTD
A meal replacement powder may be an easy way to get important nutrients quickly, but a pre-mixed shake truly offers the ultimate in convenience.

Syntha-6 40-ounce size contains 220 calories and 28 grams of protein from milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate and calcium caseinate.

DopaTech®-HGH: For those seeking a high-potency quality source of L-Dopa
The best bodybuilders and elite athletes on the planet don’t achieve that high level by letting valuable opportunities for improvement slip through the cracks. For every rep, every set, every drop of sweat put forth in the gym, the nutritional and supplemental component must be just as intense for the optimal results you invariably seek.

DopaTech, a powerhouse formula with cutting-edge ingredients, has been developed by the sports supplement experts at ProSource, based on very promising research that had come to light several years ago and continues to be the most advanced data available on L-Dopa.

Highly versatile super-nutrient
Bodybuilders have long known of fish oil’s value in minimizing post-workout muscle soreness, so it should come as no surprise that ProSource Omega-1250 is a long-established best seller here.
