Rebuild II Study Confirms Enhanced Lean Muscle and Reduced Body Fat for Women

These comparisons are compiled from a 10 week double blind study conducted for Nutrient Technology Corporation by The Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University and completed in November, 1998. The study involved the daily use of 5.6 grams of Rebuild II (12 capsules) tested against an equal amount of placebo. Rebuild II was used in support of an intense ten week resistance training program by female athletes. Pre and post exercise caloric intake were controlled in both groups during this study. All female participants in this study had not engaged in a resistance training program for an extended period of time. This fact appears to be the plausible explanation for the significant increases in strength in both groups. However, the Rebuild II group experienced a very significant reduction in body fat, and a corresponding increase in lean muscle mass.

Because of this significant increase in lean muscle mass, it is believed the strength gain differential between the groups would expand rather significantly in a subsequent period of training, as more muscle mass would be available to perform the resistance exercises.

In previous studies involving Rebuild II, where highly trained male athletes were the participants, similar significant increases in lean muscle mass and corresponding significant decreases in body fat were observed. However, in those respective studies, where athletes had engaged in intense training over a lengthy period of time, strength gains expanded significantly in the Rebuild II group versus the placebo group; thus evidencing the longer term positive impact of enhanced lean muscle mass on gains in strength.
