RELEVANT RESEARCH
INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ packets are Lean Meal Options™ scientifically designed to deliver optimal nutrition necessary for peak performance. INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ is high in quality protein, fiber, and critical nutrients and makes a delicious and satisfying shake.
Because INSTONE™ is committed to bringing you the best that nutritional science has to offer, we have compiled research indicating that INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ is truly best in class.
INSTONE™ CHALLENGE
A recent survey and taste test indicated that many people preferred INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ as a Lean Meal Option™ over a popular, leading brand meal replacement. Over 450 individuals from the United States and Canada participated in a taste test in which they compared INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ to a similarly flavored leading brand meal replacement. Results were astonishing, but not surprising!
Results indicated that for all participants who tasted a vanilla flavored mix, there were almost 5 times as many individuals who preferred INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ (82.6%) over the leading brand (n=14.5%); for a preference ratio of 4.74 or 474% individuals preferring INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ !

Results were equally as impressive for chocolate flavored INTAKEPERFORMANCE™. Results showed that roughly 3 times as many individuals preferred INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ (72.6%) over the leading brand (27.4%); for a preference ratio of 2.65 or 265% individuals preferring INTAKEPERFORMANCE™ !
