The introduction of the original Primer and Driver and the relevant research behind their use has changed the way bodybuilders use protein supplements. Additionally, both Primer and Driver have put pressure on the rest of the industry to increase the quality of their ingredients, and re-evaluate the accuracy of their labels. Now, HSN brings you two more standard setting products, PrimePLUS and DrivePLUS meal replacements.

PrimePLUS is built on the same "fast protein" base as the original Primer, but adds glucose polymers and an array of vitamin and minerals. PrimePLUS also contains the same unique fiber Fibersol, designed specifically to support healthy gut flora. The formula is based on the ground breaking research on maximizing the anabolic potential of a protein plus carbohydrate drink. (1,2)

DrivePLUS is built on the same "slow protein" base of micellar caseins and egg proteins as the original Driver, but adds a never before available blend of whole-grain complex carbohydrates. I don't mean a smidgen of Oatrim or something, I mean real whole grain Oats, Barley, and Wheat. DrivePLUS also contains an array of vitamin and minerals as well as Omega-3 fatty acids. DrivePLUS also contains the same unique fiber "Fibersol", designed specifically to support healthy gut flora that is found in Driver.

Both the PrimePLUS and DrivePLUS use the highest quality ingredients available. In addition, both formulas are designed to be used in concert to ensure the highest anabolic effect from your pre and post-workout supplementation.

I know that new products are slow to appear in the HSN line. This is for a couple of reasons, 1) There aren't that many products that are worth putting my name on (i.e. they simply don't work), and 2) I want to make sure the product is "right" before I release it. This requires a lot of research into its effectiveness as well as testing for taste and palatability. Though slow to arrive, I am very proud of PrimePLUS and DrivePLUS, and I am confident they will work as promised. That's a promise from me to you.

Sincerely,
Bryan

Ingredients:
PrimePLUSЛ› Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate Whey Protein Isolate) PrimePLUSЛ› Glucose Polymer blend (Monosaccharides 1.6%, Disaccharides 5.8%, Trisaccharides 7.8%, Tetrasaccharides & higher 84.8%) Dutch Cocoa powder, Fibersol-2 dietary fiber, salt, ascorbic acid, cholecalciferol, citrus bioflavonoids, cyanocobalamin, d-alpha-tocopherol succinate, dicalcium-phosphate, folic acid, magnesium oxide, niacinamide, pyridoxine hcl, riboflavin, selenium amino acid complex, thiamine, vitamin A palmitate, zinc amino acid chelate, natural chocolate and artificial flavors, gum Arabic, sucralose, PrimePLUSЛ› Enzyme blend (bromelain, papain)

Directions: Add two (2) level scoops (~50g) of PrimePLUS to 8-10 ounces of cold water. You can use Skim milk but this will slow absorption. Drink 15 minutes prior to exercise, or drink half before and sip the rest throughout workout. This will ensure optimal delivery of amino acids to muscle tissue while blood flow is at its peak.
