Protein Fusion Time Release


 

Overview
Here’s what Protein Fusion have to say:

Fusion Time Release protein matrix including 6 ultra-premium protein blends.
Fusion Time Release is an advanced, multi-stage time release protein blend made up of fast, medium and slow digesting proteins which provide optimum absorption for up to 8 hours. This continuous release of protein results in sustained amino acid levels which aid tissue repair, increase protein synthesis and maximise lean muscle growth. 

Fusion Time Release is an ultra-premium blend of:
De-lactosed Pure Whey Protein Concentrate, Pure Whey Protein Isolate, Miscellar Casein, Milk Protein Concentrate, Egg Albumen, Soya Protein Isolate.

These proteins all offer unique rates of absorption and this supreme combination has been designed so that your muscles will receive the right protein they need when they need it. Fusion time release has also been fortified with BCAA’S making it the perfect anabolic formula for increasing muscle size, strength and fat loss and due to its time release formula can be consumed any time of the day for optimum results. 


Nutritional Information

I like the fact you get the full split of the proteins – makes my job a bit easier and means that Protein Fusion aren’t hiding anything. The Carb/Sugar content suggests to me that Protein Fusion are thinking of this as post-workout shake rather than a bedtime one. The blend of fast, medium and slow digesting proteins whilst isn’t the optimum for a post workout would still work. Could be very handy for a cutting cycle when you need your post workout to keep you going for a while.

Taste
The Vanilla flavour tastes very pleasant and mixes up perfectly in a standard blender. There were no lumps and it had no aftertaste. I did try doubling the shake up but it worked much better as a single serving.

Side Effects
None

Price
£19.99 for a tub with 18 servings.

Results
Time Release is a protein blend that lends itself very well to being consumed at night….if you have the calories to accommodate the high sugar content. A strange move by Protein Fusion to make a bedtime shake with so much sugar. High sugar content supplements lend themselves to the post workout window because it helps kick start recovery and growth but traditionally you want fast acting proteins not a blend. You do get 10.3g of fast acting protein, 6g of medium and 10g of slow digesting protein so does Time Release have a place in your post workout stack? Well that depends on your goal, if you’re bulking then you will want more calories in you P/WO but if you are on a calorie restricted diet then this may work in your favour. The blend of proteins will keep you fuller for longer and the sugar won’t negatively impact your diet.

So in a strange twist I would recommend that you use this:
Bulking = any time but P/WO
Cutting = P/WO only

Time Release does taste very nice and is quite fairly priced so whether you’ll find this product useful or not really depends on your goal, calorie allowance and tolerance to carbs. 6.5/10
