manufacturer profile: Met-Rx nutrition
Founded in 1991 by a physician, MET-Rx(r)
Engineered Nutrition(r) is recognized as one of the leaders in the sports nutrition
supplement category. The company has been recognized for revolutionizing an industry with
its high protein meal replacement shakes. The benefits of the MET-Rx high protein shakes
for muscle strength and recovery were first studied at Harvard's Brigham and Women's
Hospital in Boston, where they were shown to surpass traditional "high protein"
drinks used as standard protocol in many medical institutions and resulted in faster
patient recovery, muscle gain and strength. Continuing its commitment to strong scientific
research and well developed products, MET-Rx now markets a full roster of sports
nutritional supplements that appeal to exercise enthusiasts and weekend warriors alike,
including MET-Rx powdered protein Total Nutrition Drink Mixes, MET-Rx Protein Plus(r) food
bars, the Anabolic Drive Series, and Protein Complete energy bars, to mention only a few.
Primarily distributed through the health and
natural food channels, as well as food, drug and mass retailers, fitness centers and
convenience stores, MET-Rx branded nutritional supplements have become staples for some of
the country's most accomplished athletes and sports celebrities, and the brand of choice
among many professional sports teams and universities.Over the years and based on their
popularity and widespread usage, MET-Rx products have also received placement in major
motion pictures and television sitcoms including Any Given Sunday, Jerry Maguire, Friends,
ER, The Sopranos and Baywatch, among others. MET-Rx is also the sponsor of the nationally
televised SUPERSTARS competition and the WORLD'S STRONGEST MANcompetition, both of which
delight viewers annually.
In 2000, MET-Rx was acquired by Rexall
Sundown, Inc., a leading manufacturer of vitamins and nutritional supplements and
subsidiary of Royal Numico, N.V., a world leader in specialized nutrition, including
infant formula, clinical nutrition and nutritional supplements. Today, backed by its
heritage of innovative and superior nutritional products and a firm foundation of sound
science and research, MET-Rx continues to "raise the bar" in the sports
nutrition industry and provide professional and novice athletes alike with the
scientifically engineered sports supplements that can help improve every lifestyle.
