Combat 100% Whey(TM):  An ultra-premium blend containing 100% whey protein developed to support lean muscle maintenance and nutrient replenishment, fueling muscle recovery and performance.

COMBAT 100% WHEY(TM) fuels the athlete inside of you with an ultra-premium protein experience, amazing taste, and easy to mix powder.

These two new products will allow MusclePharm to continue capturing global market share in the growing protein sector. The global whey protein market had a value of $5.4 billion in 2014. It is expected to reach $8.4 billion by 2020, with an estimated CACGR of 7.6%.

"We have positioned our brand in the protein sector to see continued growth," said Brad Pyatt, MusclePharm CEO. "Adding these two new products underneath the Combat Brand is part of our expansion strategy within the market. With the recent success of Combat Crunch—which won Protein Bar of the Year in 2015—we know that there is demand for high-quality protein products from our customers. Combat 100% Whey™ will be one of the best-tasting proteins on the market, at one of the best values.
