MET-Rx, a world leading provider of high-protein sports nutrition products, has received the 2013 Protein Bar of the Year Award for its MET-RX® Big 100 Colossal Bar from Bodybuilding.com.

Bodybuilding.com announced the results of its annual Supplement Awards program live onstage at the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding show in Las Vegas. Winners are selected by consumers who vote for their favorite supplements. MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Bar received more votes from fans than any other protein bar to secure first place.

“We are thrilled that MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal has been given this award and are so thankful to our fans whose votes put us at the top,” said Patrick Cornacchiulo, vice president of Active Nutrition and MET-Rx. “The MET-Rx brand is dedicated to supporting the nutrition and health goals of people who are committed to fitness, so it’s particularly rewarding to see that we won based on the tastes and preferences of the very people we aim to serve.”

MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Bars were introduced to the U.S. market in 2005 and pioneered the meal replacement category. With a total weight of 100 grams these bars utilize an exclusive Metamyosyn protein and amino acid blend, and offer consumers a balanced nutrient base of calories, carbohydrates, and protein.  

MET-Rx Big 100 Colossal Bars are available in eight flavors and are available for purchase at metrx.com, bodybuilding.com, health food stores, gyms, and wherever sports nutrition products are sold.
