An Inside Look at Our Commitment to Research

Research has always been the backbone of our philosophy. We're dedicated to developing the most effective supplements in the world. That's why we have always had a progressive product research and development philosophy. To date, we've funded 100 research studies, including recent research trials at Baylor University, the University of Nottingham, the University of Laval, St. Francis Xavier University, McMaster University, and the University of Toronto. We are committed to innovation and have developed some of the most groundbreaking sports supplements for building muscle, losing fat, and supporting fitness lifestyles – products that contribute to helping people reach their goals.

Research at the Highest Level

Innovative products such as the groundbreaking Cell-Tech™ Hardcore and Nitro-Tech^® Hardcore families of products are the results of a tireless dedication to discovering and formulating new and novel ingredients and supplements through research. This research has resulted in the publication of more than 66 abstracts and more than 25 full papers in a variety of scientific journals, including International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, and Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, to name a few.

To further our research, we have sought out and developed relationships with some of the world's top research scientists. All of this makes Team MuscleTech's commitment to research a leader within the industry.

Manufacturing Quality That Makes a Difference You'll Notice

Team MuscleTech researchers strive to ensure that you, the consumer, receive the highest quality products available.

Our delicious high-protein Nitro-Tech Hardcore bars and Meso-Tech ^® Complete bars are manufactured in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities that use the latest processing technologies in order to ensure the highest quality bars available on the market today.

We also work hard by combining the efforts and talents of North America's top food scientists and culinary experts in order to create superior-tasting nutritional supplements considered to be among the best-tasting in the industry. MuscleTech products are also subjected to sensory evaluations in order to develop the most palatable tastes and textures, and we work with industry-leading manufacturers to develop novel and amazing-tasting products.
