Hey guys,

I've just received an email from Ultimate Nutrition confirming that their product, Muscle Juice Revolution 2600 is not halal. This is the one that's in the black bucket.

They've also confirm that the older version of Muscle Juice 2544(the white bucket) is infect halal and there's a certificate below to prove it.

As a Muslim, it's my duty to share this among my fellow Muslims and I hope we can share this to those who are still not aware of this. smile.gif

Do you know that not having halal certificate and not halal is two different matters?

It's not about the certificate, its about what they use to derive the whey from the milk by using rennet. Rennet usually comes from animals, and when animals are not slaughtered accordingly to a Muslim way, anything from meat to enzymes are considered haram.

When haram rennet is used in curdling whey from milk, this falls into a haram state.

Dude whats up with the caps?

Muscle juice contains whey which is derived from milk by mixing rennet. If the animal is slaughtered by chopping their heads off without the Islamic way, its considered haram. This implies to the rennet aswell.

By the way, we could consume anything without a certificate if you didn't know that. The certificate or the halal logo if you would call it is just there to ease Muslims to consume the food without asking where the source is.

And yes the milk from the cow nipples doesn't need a freaking certificate or some hocus pocus ritual prayers.

Cross contamination from non-halal materials during production can render a product non-halal.

Some other point of view (not sure if it's applicable for Msian Muslims):
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=7&ID=432&CATE=29

The product you mentioned only says that it is "not certified". Big difference between not certified, and being not-halal.

Besides, many major cheese/whey/dairy manufacturers don't use rennet from slaughtered calves due to cost. It's simply easier, more consistent and cheaper to use rennet from genetically modified bacteria. When they are producing tonnes of whey (and cheese) a day, using calf rennet wouldn't make sense.

You've got a point there! But in the email, it states that, there are animal sources ingredients in the protein blend and also rennet is confirmed used in the process. Its just that the type is kept secret.

It's no big deal Muslim brothers. Here's an unbiased review of Muscle Juice, which is why I never fall for advertizing hype:-

http://www.proteinpowder.net/muscle-juice-2544/

The Bad

When it comes to Muscle Juice 2544, the simple fact is that you are not going to get anything special. With amounts like 55g of protein, you should actually be getting far more than 13g of BCAA’s or other amino acids. Most of that 55g should be pure BCAA’s or amino acids! So this just goes to show you, they are using extremely low quality proteins at best! When it comes to Muscle Juice 2544, you are getting about 60g of sugars, more sugars than you are proteins in other words, and it does not even begin to balance out!

The Skinny

We would not recommend using Muscle Juice 2544. It does not give you any results or benefits, and ultimately speaking, Muscle Juice 2544 is just another waste of time and money. It do9es not have the right quality of protein, and while it may be initially deceiving, it is not something that you should ever fall for. We would definitely recommend finding something else that will come through.

=) Hence a lot of idiots fall into the trap of mass gainers being a good supplement. Which they aren't. There ARE good ones out there, but Muscle Juice ain't one of them.

They use animal rennet as their enzyme to curd whey from the milk. Of course they have to slaughter the animal. If its slaughtered not accordingly to the Islamic way, how can it be considered halal.

Sometimes you can't judge by the number of Malay customers buying a certain product and just say its halal because of that. So many non-Muslims and Muslims still don't understand how to define what is halal and what is not.

So don't simply say something is halal if you don't really understand the halal issue.

First of all one must understand the definition of Animal rennet. Also this ruling is according to the Hanafi school of thought and is as follows;

The lawfulness of rennet does not depend on the slaughterer being a Muslim or non-Muslim, in fact it depends upon whether there is life in it or not. The circulation of blood in an organ is the cause of life. No blood flows through rennet; therefore rennet is not a living thing. Therefore, it cannot 'die' and it is thus permissible to consume rennet like dairy products.

Therefore whether the animal is slaughtered according to the Halal method or bolted the Rennet is permissible to eat. However the exception to this rule is that rennet produced from Pig is Haram and definitely unlawful. Therefore, one must ascertain whether the rennet used is not derived from pig. If it is not then it is permissible to eat.

However, where there is doubt (as is in this case between the four Madhabs) then one must err on the side of caution as children may not understand the difference between rennet and fat and may conclude that animal fat is also Halal and this is certainly not the case.

What Is The Source Of Rennet?
Rennet is one of the enzymes used to make cheese. Rennet comes from the stomach of young calves. After the calf is slaughtered/killed, the stomach is removed, filled with milk and hanged to dry. After it dries, it is ground up to make crude extract of rennet, which is then purified or sold as is. If the calf is slaughtered according to Islamic requirements, the rennet is halal. Otherwise, it is not.

The active ingredient in rennet is chymosin. Chymosin can also be produced by other means, including biotechnology. Chymosin produced using biotechnology is halal.

If an ingredient label states the product in question contains rennet, then the rennet came from an animal source. As such, items containing rennet must be considered questionable for the halal consumer until the source is known. If the source calf was not processed according to Islamic law, the product is not acceptable for halal consumption. In general, most rennet produced in the US comes from calves that have not been processed in accordance with Islamic requirements, so the rennet produced is not acceptable.

If the product containing the rennet is halal-certified, the source of the rennet should be halal. IFANCA has received a number of inquiries from consumers regarding rennet – some believing that rennet is extracted from live calves. This is not the case. Rennet is not extracted from live calves. It is extracted from slaughtered (dead) calves.


And ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, knows best.

This issue has a lot of views from different ulama. In the end, if one has doubt about this, its best to avoid. But i will look into this issue further and update. smile.gif
