MuscleTech – The Leader in Science
The MuscleTech Metabolism and Sports Science Lab
The goal of the MuscleTech brand is to be known as the world leader in sports nutrition. Supporting this goal is the philosophy to fund original university research studies to further our understanding of muscle metabolism, biochemistry, lipid oxidation and athlete performance. A portion of every dollar spent on MuscleTech supplements is allocated toward scientific research to discover new and more effective ways to increase lean muscle and strength, and improve athletic performance. In fact, Team MuscleTech researchers have collaborated with researchers at over 20 universities and research facilities around the world to study the various key ingredients found in our powerful formulas. It is this profound commitment to scientific research and the integration of that research into product development that has led to countless breakthrough products, which have been used by millions since establishment in 1996.

University of Toronto
Canada’s first institution of higher learning, The University of Toronto was founded in 1827 and was recently ranked in the Top 20 for overall performance as stated in the Times Higher Education World University Ranking 2013—2014 report.Sport Science Laboratories The MuscleTech Metabolism & Sport Science Lab will be a hotspot for cutting-edge research in sports science, with far-reaching implications on high performance sport, rehabilitation science, sports medicine, physical education, and many other areas! |
To ensure the MuscleTech® line is powered by continuous new innovations that help athletes at all levels reach their fullest potential, we’ve entered a long-term, multi-million dollar partnership with a leading university to create the all-new MuscleTech® Metabolism & Sport Science Lab. Since MuscleTech® is so passionate about scientific research and the types of breakthroughs it results in, we wanted to commit long-term, not just a one-two year agreement. As part of the $58 million state-of-the-art Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport at University of Toronto, the new lab reaffirms our devotion to developing ingredients with extreme efficacy validated by unbiased scientific research. The prestigious University of Toronto was recently ranked in the Top 20 for overall performance as stated in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2013—2014 report. The MuscleTech® Metabolism & Sport Science Lab features novel technologies and equipment to carry out gold-standard research on new emerging ingredients. This partnership will be sure to cultivate an environment in which new innovative products from MuscleTech® will be developed. The facility opens later in the fall. Stay tuned for the breakthrough research to come out of this leading research lab.

Dr. Ira JacobsProfessor Ira Jacobs is the Dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto. Jacobs earned his doctorate in clinical physiology from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, where he specialized in studying the effects of high—intensity exercise and diet on skeletal muscle energy metabolism. Jacobs’ research has led to the publication of more than 200 scientific articles, reports and book chapters on subjects that include the physiological responses to physical exertion in environmental extremes, and performance enhancement through pharmacological and nutritional manipulation of metabolism. |
