 Emeryville, California, May 2013—The athletes and foodies behind CLIF Builder’s® understand that the body requires varying amounts of protein based on the intensity of a workout or endurance challenge. For that reason, CLIF is expanding the Builder’s line with Builder’s MAX™ – a good-tasting, power-packed protein bar crafted for the most intense workouts. With the addition of MAX, CLIF Builder’s now offers 10, 20 and 30 gram high-quality protein bars, all without artificial sweeteners, trans fats or ingredients sourced from GMOs.
Builder’s MAX is made with the CLIF folks call TriBuild™ protein, a proprietary blend of whey, soy and casein, specifically crafted to support muscle growth and recovery. MAX contains both fast-absorbing proteins that go to work quickly to promote muscle growth as well as proteins that take longer to absorb, which can help extend the muscle growth window. On shelves at retailers nationwide, Builder’s MAX is available in three flavors: Caramel Peanut, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Mint Chocolate Chip. |

.jpeg) Mason, Ohio, April 2013—The following is an opinion editorial provided by Dr. Barry Malinowski, Pediatrician and Medical Director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio:
When was the last time you walked into a room full of kids and saw them moving around rather than sitting around playing video games?
As medical director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, I often travel around Ohio and visit companies that offer our health insurance to their employees. It’s always interesting to learn what companies are doing when it comes to wellness in the workplace to help their employees live healthier lives. I always make it a point to brag about our support of the Get Active, Get Fit School Challenge – many are so intrigued, they help us spread the word. |
