What is MuscleMeds Carnivor?
MuscleMeds Carnivor is a protein powder whose source is neither milk nor plants, but beef. The raw material is a hydrolysed beef protein isolate, listed on the label under the name CARNIVOR-BPI®. Hydrolysed means the protein chains have been broken down in advance; isolate means purification has been taken far enough to strip out the fats.
The result tastes and feels nothing like meat stock: that is the most common worry we hear across the counter, and it is unfounded. The range covers chocolate-led profiles such as Cookies & Cream or Chocolate-Peanut Butter; the flavours and sizes available are listed above the add-to-basket button. The figures below refer to the cocoa version: other flavours may differ on the ingredient list, and the label on the tub you receive is the authority.
The formula does not stop at the protein. MuscleMeds also adds BCAAs (L-leucine, L-valine, L-isoleucine), which appear in the ingredient list immediately after the isolate, along with four intermediates of nitrogen metabolism grouped under the name Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology™: GKG (glutamine alpha-ketoglutarate), OKG (ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate), AKG (alpha-ketoglutarate) and KIC (alpha-ketoisocaproate). One thing to know if these additions are what draw you in: not one of them is quantified on the label. We mention them because they are in the composition, not because they promise anything — for BCAAs at a known dose, the BCAA aisle is what you should be looking at, not this label. The product itself sits in our beef protein aisle.
What does a serving of Carnivor contain?
The reference scoop weighs 33.9 g. Here is what it delivers, taken from the tub label on the cocoa version.
| Nutrient | Per 33.9 g serving | % NRV* |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 120 kcal | 6 % |
| Fat | 0 g | 0 % |
| of which saturates | 0 g | 0 % |
| Carbohydrate | 6 g | 2 % |
| of which sugars | not disclosed | — |
| Fibre | 1 g | — |
| Protein | 23 g | 46 % |
| Cholesterol | 0 mg | — |
| Sodium | 350 mg | — |
| Potassium | 220 mg | 11 % |
| Iron | 1 mg | 7 % |
* The original label is American and publishes no European percentages: this column is calculated from the nutrient reference values in Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. A dash indicates that no NRV has been established for the line concerned.
The ratio worth remembering is this one: 23 g of protein for 120 kcal. At 4 kcal per gram, those 23 g account for 92 kcal, or roughly 77 % of the serving's energy. The "high in protein" claim requires at least 20 % of the energy value: Carnivor is comfortably above that, with no need to round anything up. Zero fat, 6 g of carbohydrate of which 1 g fibre: that is an isolate profile, and it explains why we mostly see this product going out during cutting phases.
The "of which sugars" line is not quantified by the manufacturer, but the label carries the wording Sugar Free, alongside Fat Free, Cholesterol Free, Lactose Free and Gluten Free; the tub is also declared Halal, and carries the American wording contains bioengineered food ingredients, which has no mandatory equivalent in France. What the manufacturer does not publish, we do not reconstruct: no per-100 g column, no amino acid profile, no quantity of added BCAAs. Salt is not declared either, only sodium is, at 350 mg.
On protein, the permitted wordings are precise and we stick to them: it contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. There is no recovery claim for protein, contrary to what many labels imply. The protein aisle lets you compare the different families against these same criteria.
How do you prepare Carnivor?
One 33.9 g scoop in 180 to 240 ml of cold water — the range given by the manufacturer, 6 to 8 fl oz — shaken for 30 seconds in a shaker. One to two servings a day depending on your protein needs and your bodyweight. No course duration is stated, and there is no reason to set one for a protein.
That range matters: 180 ml gives a thick shake and a pronounced cocoa flavour, 240 ml a drink that is easier to get down straight after a session. Start at the higher end, then cut back if the taste seems too light.
The usual timings: within 30 minutes after training, between meals to keep intake steady, or at bedtime. That last point deserves to be kept in perspective: what determines the result is your total protein across twenty-four hours, not the time you take it.
One detail of the composition explains a detail of use: the ingredient list includes an anti-foaming agent. Hydrolysed beef protein foams in a shaker, and the manufacturer has dealt with the problem in the formula. If a little foam remains, let it stand for two minutes. Unlike a whey, Carnivor is made up with water: milk adds nothing here except calories and the very lactose you were trying to avoid.
Who is Carnivor right for, and who is it not right for?
The soundest use case: you digest milk proteins poorly, or you have had enough of taking them three times a day, and you are looking for another source. Carnivor is lactose free and gluten free, and it delivers 23 g of protein without a drop of fat. When cutting, that profile is hard to beat.
It is not suitable in several situations. The manufacturer contraindicates it for pregnant and breastfeeding women, advises against it for under-18s, and asks that you seek medical advice first if you are on any ongoing treatment. Above all: this product contains soya. RBD soya oil is not a trace picked up in the factory, it is a component of the anti-foaming agent, written into the ingredient list. If you are allergic to soya, this product is not for you.
Something else to know before ordering: 350 mg of sodium per serving. For a protein powder that is notable, and there is a reason for it — salt appears in the ingredient list. At one or two servings a day it remains a fraction of an adult's daily intake, but if your doctor has asked you to limit sodium, factor it in.
What you should not expect from it: beef protein is not superior to whey for building muscle. The public data does not allow that claim, and nobody should be selling it to you on that basis. It is different, which is already a good enough reason when milk is a problem. And 23 g of protein is a supplement, not a meal.
Carnivor or a whey isolate?
On paper the two look alike: high protein content, few carbohydrates, little or no fat. The difference lies in the source, in what your digestion makes of it, and in what the manufacturer is willing to publish.
A whey isolate remains the better choice in three cases. The price per gram of protein, first of all, which is generally more favourable. The amino acid profile next: whey is naturally rich in leucine, the amino acid most studied for protein synthesis, and most manufacturers publish their amino acid profile. Carnivor's is not published, which rules out any numerical comparison. And finally versatility in cooking, where whey behaves better. If lactose is your only concern, a whey isolate already contains very little of it: the problem is often solved without changing source at all, and a hydrolysed whey takes that reasoning further still.
Carnivor comes out ahead on two concrete points. It is completely free of milk proteins, which genuinely matters in cases of diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy — a case where a whey isolate remains contraindicated, however low in lactose it may be. And it varies your sources: boredom is the number one reason a tub of protein gets abandoned. If it is the amino acid side that interests you rather than complete protein, look at the EAA range, where the doses are published line by line.
Frequently asked questions
Does Carnivor taste of meat?
No. Hydrolysis and purification remove most of the aromatic compounds from beef, and the added flavour covers the rest: on the cocoa version, cocoa is what you taste. The surprise is more the texture, thinner than a whey, without the creaminess milk brings.
How much BCAA does a serving provide?
That is not published. The BCAAs are indeed added and appear in the ingredient list after the isolate and before the maltodextrin, which places their rank without quantifying them. The manufacturer gives neither a quantity nor an amino acid profile, and we will not invent those values.
Does it contain lactose or gluten?
No. The source is beef, and the label carries the Lactose Free and Gluten Free wordings. That is precisely what makes the product interesting for people who struggle with milk proteins.
Does it contain soya?
Yes. RBD soya oil goes into the composition of the anti-foaming agent, and it is listed as an ingredient, not as a manufacturing trace. That distinction matters if you have a soya allergy: this is not a contamination risk, it is a certain presence.
What are the GKG, OKG, AKG and KIC listed in the ingredients?
Amino acid derivatives paired with alpha-ketoglutarate, present in the CARNIVOR-BPI® formula. Their doses are not disclosed and no health claim is authorised in Europe for these compounds: we mention them because they appear on the label, without attributing any effect to them.
How much sodium per serving?
350 mg per 33.9 g serving, a notable figure for a protein powder and consistent with the presence of salt in the ingredient list. The manufacturer does not convert that sodium into a salt equivalent on its label, and we are not going to do it in its place.
Can it be mixed with milk?
Technically yes, but it makes little sense: the whole point of the product is precisely the absence of milk proteins. If you tolerate milk, you may as well take a whey. With water, allow 180 to 240 ml per scoop.
How many servings are in a tub?
Two sizes exist, 28 servings and 56 servings; the choice is made above the add-to-basket button, at the same time as the flavour. The count is based on the 33.9 g scoop and appears on the tub label.
Where to buy MuscleMeds Carnivor?
Flavours and sizes can be ordered on this page. We ship throughout France and Europe. In Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is a product we reach for when customers come back saying no whey suits them: that is where it really comes into its own.
The rest of the brand's catalogue can be found in the MuscleMeds collection. For other milk-free sources, see egg protein and plant proteins.
Who is MuscleMeds?
MuscleMeds is an American sports nutrition brand that, according to its own communications, has been active for over fifteen years. It made its name with a single product, Carnivor, a hydrolyzed beef protein isolate that arrived at a time when the market offered little else besides milk and soy.
The brand's positioning has remained the same ever since: highly "bodybuilding-oriented" formulas, an aggressive tone, and a range built around beef protein rather than milk protein. It is not a brand of nutritional sobriety, and it does not claim to be.
How good is the MuscleMeds range?
In the United States, the brand offers Carnivor in meal replacement, gainer, and fat burner-enriched versions. In France, distribution is much narrower, and we haven't deemed it necessary to bring in the entire range: most of these variations can be advantageously replaced by a dedicated product. A gainer does the job of a gainer better, and a fat burner does the job of a fat burner.
What the brand does really well is its beef protein. It's the historical reference in our selection, to which a pre-workout has now been added.
What are their flagship products?
Carnivor — the beef protein isolate
Carnivor is available in 28 or 56 servings. Here's what a 36.4g scoop contains:
- 23g of hydrolyzed beef protein for only 100 kcal;
- 0g fat and 2g carbohydrates;
- 2.5g creatine monohydrate, included in the formula;
- 2.8g leucine, 1.4g valine, and 1.2g isoleucine;
- 95mg sodium.
The protein/calorie ratio is the real selling point: 23g for 100 kcal means very few "wasted" calories around the protein. A whey isolate is in the same range, a whey concentrate significantly higher. Over a day with three shakes, the difference is in the tens of calories.
The included creatine deserves a mention. 2.5g per dose is close to the 3g daily amount associated with the authorized claim in Europe for very intense and short-duration exercises. If you are already taking creatine monohydrate separately, take this into account in your total: it's not dangerous, but it's money spent twice.
Nitro Lift — the pre-workout
This is the second MuscleMeds product in our range, a powdered pre-workout available in two flavors, Blue Slush and Cherry Lime. The formula is announced for two doses of 13.05g, or 26.1g, and the tub contains 20 servings at this dosage or 40 at a single dose. For two doses, the label details, in particular, 6,000mg of citrulline and arginine, 5,000mg of creatine monohydrate, 3,200mg of beta-alanine, 2,000mg of betaine, an electrolyte complex of 1,794mg, and 350mg of caffeine, supplemented with grape seed extract, elevATP®, Mucuna pruriens, and BioPerine®.
Two remarks before purchasing, and we prefer to highlight them rather than place them at the bottom of the page. The first: 350mg of caffeine for two doses is well above the 200mg single dose reference level set by EFSA for a healthy adult. It is imperative to start with a single dose, which is approximately 175mg, and do not add any other caffeinated products on the same day. The second: creatine is already in the formula, at 5g for two doses — there's no need to add more on the days you take it. This product is for adults only, not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people sensitive to stimulants, and those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or undergoing treatment. It contains coconut (tree nut). If you train in the evening, a caffeine-free booster is a much better choice.
Who benefits from beef protein?
Only one situation truly justifies it: you have difficulty digesting milk proteins and you don't want to switch to plant-based proteins. Carnivor contains neither lactose nor gluten, and that's precisely the gap it fills.
If you digest whey without problems, beef protein won't give you anything extra. It's a persistent belief in the industry: beef protein doesn't "build" more just because it comes from beef. What matters is the quantity of protein and the amino acid profile, not the animal of origin.
Another scenario: intolerant individuals who find egg protein too strong-tasting. Carnivor is flavored and mixes easily in 200ml of cold water — this is also its recommended preparation, water rather than milk.
Our retailer's opinion: should you buy Carnivor?
We sell it because it meets a specific need, but you need to know what you're buying.
The ingredient list is long. Alongside the isolate, you'll find maltodextrin, natural and artificial flavors, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin, and an anti-foaming agent. If you're looking for a short label, look at Protéalpes or an additive-free hydrolyzed whey instead.
The price per kilo of protein is high. Hydrolysis is expensive, and so is the raw material. For the same budget, a concentrated whey will give you more grams of protein. The extra cost is only justified if lactose genuinely poses a problem for you.
The taste is divisive. Beef protein has a distinct taste that flavors mask without completely eliminating. Try the 28-serving size for a first test, not the large tub.
Finally, beware of marketing shortcuts around beef protein. No protein replaces a well-structured diet, and a shake has never helped someone progress if their meals aren't in order.
MuscleMeds or Applied Nutrition?
This is the useful comparison, because we sell both. Applied Nutrition offers Beef XP in a 1.8kg format, a "clear" beef protein that drinks like a fruity beverage rather than a milky shake. Two opposing philosophies:
- Carnivor: classic shake texture, gourmet flavors, creatine included, 28 or 56-serving sizes. Choose if you want to replace your whey identically.
- Beef XP: light and transparent texture, more digestible post-workout when appetite is low, no creatine added. Choose if thick shakes put you off.
Nutritionally, both are comparable. The choice comes down to texture and whether or not you want creatine in the same tub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell Carnivor Mass or MuscleMeds amino acids?
No, and that's a choice. The brand's American catalog offers Carnivor as a gainer, meal replacement, and in amino acid formulas, but our selection is limited to Carnivor and Nitro Lift. The reason is simple: these variations are advantageously replaced by a dedicated product. A true gainer has a better carb-to-protein ratio and costs less per kilo than a gainer built on hydrolyzed beef protein; and EAAs or BCAAs purchased separately are much cheaper per gram. We prefer to tell you this rather than expanding a catalog for the sake of it.
What is Nitro Lift?
The brand's powdered pre-workout, to be mixed with water, available in Blue Slush and Cherry Lime. It combines a classic base for pump and performance — citrulline and arginine, beta-alanine, betaine, creatine monohydrate, electrolytes — with a strong stimulating load. The dose announced by the manufacturer is two scoops, but we systematically recommend starting with just one: two scoops provide 350mg of caffeine, which is above the EFSA's 200mg single dose reference and is very noticeable for someone unaccustomed. Two practical points: creatine is already included, so there's no need to add more on the day you take it, and beta-alanine causes temporary tingling that is nothing to worry about. This product is for adults only, to be avoided in the evening and if you are sensitive to stimulants.
Does Carnivor contain lactose?
No. It is formulated without lactose and gluten. However, it may contain traces of soy, which is important if you are allergic.
Is it really real meat?
It is a protein isolate derived from beef, obtained by hydrolysis: the protein fraction is concentrated, and fat and cholesterol are removed. It is not powdered meat, and it does not have the same profile as a steak.
How much should I take per day?
One to two scoops, depending on what your meals already provide. One scoop in 200ml of cold water, shaken for thirty seconds. The foam that forms is normal; let it sit for two minutes if it bothers you.
Should I add creatine separately?
Two scoops already provide 5g of creatine over the day. If you only take one, a Creapure creatine supplement might make sense. Our article on when to take creatine details the question.
Can it be taken at night?
Carnivor, yes: creatine is not stimulating, and the hydrolysate digests quickly. If you're looking for a slow-release protein for the night, opt for casein. Nitro Lift, however, should be avoided in the late evening.
Where to buy MuscleMeds in France?
At specialized sports nutrition retailers: the brand is not distributed in French supermarkets, and a large part of the very cheap offers seen in marketplaces fall under parallel American import — labeling only in English, short expiration dates, no recourse. We stock Carnivor and Nitro Lift in our store in Vendargues and on this page, with shipping throughout France and Europe.
Is it suitable for pregnant women or minors?
No. These products are contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women and not recommended before 18 years of age. If you are taking medication, consult your doctor.
Where can I see other beef proteins?
All our references are grouped in the beef protein section. For an overview of protein families, the guide getting started with sports nutrition compares the options one by one.
Is Carnivor available in your store in Vendargues?
Yes, it is in stock in our store in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier. It's a product that's better seen before buying: the tub, available flavors, and full label are on site, and we'll tell you frankly if your digestion problem really comes from lactose. You can also order online; we ship throughout France and Europe.

Questions fréquentes — MuscleMeds
Que trouve-t-on de MuscleMeds chez nous ?
Les deux références qui portent la marque : le Carnivor, l'isolat de protéine de bœuf hydrolysé, et le Nitro Lift, son pré-entraînement. Ce sont les produits sur lesquels MuscleMeds a construit sa réputation. Pour un surplus calorique, nos gainers spécialisés couvrent le sujet, et nos rayons EAA et BCAA complètent côté acides aminés.
Qu'est-ce que le Nitro Lift ?
Le pré-entraînement de la marque, en poudre à diluer, disponible en Blue Slush et Cherry Lime. Il combine une base classique de congestion et de performance — citrulline et arginine, bêta-alanine, bétaïne, créatine monohydrate, électrolytes — avec une forte charge stimulante. La dose annoncée par le fabricant est de deux mesures, mais nous recommandons systématiquement de commencer par une seule : deux mesures apportent 350 mg de caféine, ce qui est au-dessus du repère de dose unique de 200 mg de l'EFSA et se ressent très nettement chez une personne non habituée. Deux points pratiques : la créatine est déjà incluse, donc inutile d'en ajouter le jour où vous le prenez, et la bêta-alanine provoque des picotements passagers qui n'ont rien d'inquiétant. Produit réservé aux adultes, à éviter le soir et en cas de sensibilité aux stimulants.
Le Carnivor contient-il du lactose ?
Non. Il est formulé sans lactose et sans gluten. Il peut en revanche contenir des traces de soja, ce qui compte si vous y êtes allergique.
Est-ce vraiment de la vraie viande ?
Il s'agit d'un isolat de protéine issu du bœuf, obtenu par hydrolyse : la fraction protéique est concentrée, le gras et le cholestérol sont retirés. C'est la protéine du bœuf, isolée et prête à boire.
Quelle quantité prendre par jour ?
Une à deux dosettes, selon ce que vos repas apportent déjà. Une dosette dans 200 ml d'eau froide, agitée trente secondes. La mousse qui se forme est normale ; laissez reposer deux minutes si elle vous gêne.
Faut-il ajouter de la créatine à côté ?
Deux dosettes couvrent déjà 5 g de créatine sur la journée. Si vous n'en prenez qu'une, un complément de créatine Creapure complète le total. Notre article sur le moment de prise de la créatine détaille la question.
Peut-on le prendre le soir ?
Le Carnivor, oui : la créatine ne stimule pas, et l'hydrolysat se digère vite. Si vous cherchez plutôt une protéine à libération lente pour la nuit, orientez-vous vers la caséine. Le Nitro Lift, en revanche, est à réserver au matin ou à l'avant-séance.
