THE HYPE When we set out to develop a calorie-dense weight gainer, we were compelled to “shoot for the stars.” Our goal was to produce something extraordinary, something awesome in nature and quality. We wouldn’t settle for a formula that was chocked full of fat-inducing maltodextrin; we wouldn’t settle for artificial sweeteners; we wouldn’t compromise on the quality of the proteins, fats or carbohydrates; and we wouldn’t accept anything but the very best in terms of mouth feel and taste. To put it bluntly, we were looking for a weight gainer that would be of colossal power and achievement…a Goliath amongst the ordinary. Goliath™ is centered around the proprietary and patent-pending protein source called Colostrim™. This milk/whey-derived protein is specially processed so that all of the most potent protein fractions contained in milk are isolated and contained in this one ingredient. Colostrim™ contains an unusually high percentage of small-peptide protein fractions, such as lactoferrin as well as potent growth factors, like IGF-1. As a result, Colostrim™ is excellent at feeding and supporting lean body mass while simultaneously inhibiting the over-accumulation of body fat. To round out the formula and ensure extended blood values of amino acids, we added sustained-release micellar casein and egg albumin. We weren’t satisfied with Goliath™ just having the best protein. We knew that we also needed an incredible and special fat source. We could have just added inferior fats (like soybean or palm oil); however, there is nothing particularly healthy about these types of fats, and they have a tendency to drastically increase adipose deposition. On the contrary, Goliath™ contains oleic acid as well as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and phosphatidylserine (PS). Together, these lipids improve health and well-being and actually have a tendency to promote a lean, lithe body. Finally, Goliath™ contains an engineered carbohydrate blend consisting of all natural dehydrated cane juice, palatinose and trehalose. This blend is designed to contain both slow and fast-acting carbohydrates so that blood insulin and glucose levels are maintained steadily over an extended period of time. Energy values are maintained at high levels, and carbohydrate-induced adipose tissue is kept at a minimum.
THE FACTS 1. What is Goliath™? Goliath™ is a high-calorie nutritional drink for individuals wanting to increase their daily caloric intake. 2. What makes Goliath™ special? Unlike other unwholesome, weight-gain nutritional powders that rely on unhealthy fats and high-glycemic carbohydrates like maltodextrin, Goliath™ contains healthy ingredients that truly nourish the body. In addition, Goliath™ contains only natural sweeteners without the use of sucralose, aspartame or acesulfame-K. 3. What type of fats does Goliath™ contain? Goliath™ predominantly contains two types of lipids. The first is a monounsaturated fatty acid called oleic acid. Being the major fatty acid in olive oil, oleic acid is the reason why olive oil has outstanding health benefits. Oleic acid is not only the healthiest fat for cardiovascular health, but it also helps to normalize the body’s inflammatory response. Even better, compared to other fatty acids, oleic acid is not deposited as readily as adipose tissue (body fat). Instead of containing olive oil which has a strong taste, Goliath™ contains 80% oleic acid, bland sunflower oil (the same concentration of oleic acid in olive oil). Goliath™ also contains fatty acids called medium chain triglyerides (MCTs). Although considered saturated fats, MCTs are not considered to have the negative effects associated with longer chain saturated lipids. In fact, MCTs are not even processed by the body like other fats. Instead of being transported and stored as adipose tissue, MCTs go directly to the liver to be burned as fuel. Over the years, a great deal of research demonstrates that MCTs are a healthy fuel source that can assist a person in becoming lean and healthy. 4. What type of carbohydrates does Goliath™ contain? Goliath™ contains a combination of three carbohydrates including all natural dehydrated cane juice, palatinose and trehalose. Unlike maltodextrin which is one of the highest glycemic carbohydrates known, palatinose and trehalose are all-natural carbohydrates which have very low glycemic indexes and have many health-promoting properties. Although considered sugars, palatinose and trehalose do not act like traditional sugars as they do not rapidly increase blood sugar and insulin levels. Instead, palatinose and trehalose are metabolized slowly and cause blood sugar and insulin levels to rise gradually and evenly over a prolonged period of time. Consequently, energy levels are optimized and remain heightened for many hours after consumption. The beneficial metabolic properties of palatinose and trehalose also result in these sugars preserving muscle tissue and reducing the formation of carbohydrate-induced adipose tissue. 5. What about Goliaths’s™ protein source? Goliath™ contains the same fast (whey), medium (egg) and slow (micellar casein) acting protein sources as Matrix 5.0. These high quality proteins are extremely bland and allow Goliath™ to have a superb taste profile. Furthermore, the combination of whey protein, egg albumin and micellar casein gives a person the unique benefits of each of these proteins while negating any potential shortcomings. 6. Who should consume Goliath™? Goliath™ is ideal for anyone who wants or needs to consume additional calories and prefers to accomplish this in the healthiest and most efficient means possible. Ideal candidates are young children, the elderly, teenagers, bodybuilders and those with medical conditions that require an increased caloric load. 7. When should Goliath™ be consumed? Goliath™ may be drank anytime throughout the day. It may be consumed along with meals or as an additional meal or snack throughout the day. Although Goliath™ is formulated to taste great mixed with water, it is even better when mixed with milk. Based on taste preference, Goliath™ should be mixed with 8-16 ounces of water or milk per serving.
