Muscle Milk Man

For the longest time, whey protein and creatine ruled the bodybuilding supplement roost, but are they about to be toppled by something called Muscle Milk? It seems you can’t go anywhere these days without hearing of Muscle Milk and the wonders eager bodybuilders attribute to it. But what is Muscle Milk? What makes it different from existing supplements, and, is it even milk at all?

Easy questions first: Muscle milk is not actually milk. Technically, that is. Cytosport have used various peptides, amino acids, and fats to develop a truly unique supplement, but one which copies nature closer than any other: mothers breast milk.

That’s right – Muscle Milk is a synthetic (as in, man made using natural nutrients) replication of breast milk. Why on earth would they want to do that, you ask? Simple: breast milk is the most anabolic form of nutrition known to humankind – just ask baby!

And, the theory is, the same anabolic properties helping baby to grow like a weed will help bodybuilders to build muscle.

Muscle Milk can’t really be compared to creatine, because the two are completely different. Creatine enhances the anaerobic energy delivery system, so what is Muscle Milk like compared to it’s closest rival, whey protein?

Well, whey protein is filtered whey – from the cheese making process – which removes fats and carbohydrates leaving as pure a protein as possible. Whey protein is just that – protein, and as pure as it gets.

Muscle Milk contains other nutrients, including pre-digested fast burning fats which makes them predisposed to being used for workout energy and muscle repair rather than being stored as fat (coined by Cytosport as ‘Lean Lipids’). Muscle Milk also contains a special protein blend (EvoPro) which contains a different amino acid blend to whey, including alpha and beta micellar caseins, lactoferrin, L-glutamine, alpha-lactalbumin and more, to make for one almighty nitrogen charged supplement – which is just what the muscles need!

There really is nothing else like Muscle Milk on the market. Aside from being notoriously delicious in all three of it’s forms (powder, ready to drink and bars) Muscle Milk truly does deliver the very best, cutting edge muscle building nutrition based on the very latest scientific research – and with good training, you’ll get great results, just as millions of others of Muscle Milk users are getting.
