Maybe you’ve been reading about CytoSport’s Muscle Milk or heard your friends talking about it, but you haven’t yet tried this supplement designed with the goodness of mother’s milk in mind. You might have a long history using whey-protein supplements, with very good reason, and hate to try anything new for fear of losing any gains you’ve made. Not making the switch is understandable, like hanging onto a comfortable pair of running shoes. But maybe it’s time to shake things up a bit and see if Muscle Milk can be of benefit to your workout regimen. If not, you can always return to your previous “whey” of life.

To help you decide, here’s the breakdown on standard whey supplements versus Muscle Milk:

The Taste Factor
When it comes to taste, Muscle Milk is the winner, hands down. Users often can’t believe how good it is, and the same just cannot be said about most whey-protein supplements. A common complaint with these shakes is that they have a chalky taste, but that isn’t the case with Muscle Milk. In addition to the basics of Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, you have your pick of a wide variety of flavors, like Mocha Joe, Crème Brulee, and Root Beer.

Whether it’s running or biking further, or getting the most from a bodybuilding regimen, the quest for the ultimate combination of workout-aiding supplements never ends.

What Are Muscle Milk and Cytomax?

Muscle Milk’s special combination of EndoCreatine, Lean Lipid fats, protein powder, peptides, and amino acids has proven effective at building muscle mass and helping athletes recover quickly from workouts.

Whether you’re engaged in an exercise program or not, proper nutrition is essential for your health and well-being. Many studies indicate that proper nutrition plays a role in longevity, as well as in mental health and acuity. Because research is demonstrating just how important it is to take in at least the standard minimum requirement daily, many people are making lifestyle changes and taking particular care with their diet. However, those efforts may not be enough, as the true nutritional content of foods can vary. Supplementing your diet with Muscle Milk can help you to be sure.

Inconsistent Nutritional Content
The true nutritional content of plant foods depends on a variety of factors, including the quality of the seed, the specifics of a particular type or strain, the health of the plant, and the quality of the soil in which it is grown. If the soil is of poor quality, its minerals and other nutrients depleted, then the plants grown in it will not have a reliable or sufficient amount of those missing nutrients. And, if the plants don’t have them, neither will we when we eat those plants.

Industrial farming has taken a lot out of the world’s soil. To be fair, smaller farmers who do not have the area necessary to rotate crops and allow fields rest time also contribute to soil depletion. This is not a new problem. Researchers and scientists have been aware of this situation since the 1930s.

Optimizing athletic performance and building muscle mass are fitness goals for many women, but how can you make this a natural and effective process? Many athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts turn to CytoSport Muscle Milk and other supplements to increase their protein intake. Since a balanced diet is an essential part of strength-building and endurance, knowing which sources to turn to is an important first step. The ideal diet needs a balance of quality carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—even more so during training periods to ensure adequate muscle recovery, growth, and endurance building. Muscle Milk offers a variety of benefits for women interested in supplementing their diet or nutrition program with a quality protein source.

What Women Need

Eating responsibly is a part of every athlete and bodybuilder’s daily regimen, and can be much easier with access to quality nutrition sources and supplements. The daily diet must include:

• 
  

  Slow-burning carbohydrates (“good carbs”) for energy.

  
  


• 
  

  Quality protein, not necessarily animal-based.

  
  


• 
  

  A healthy level of fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

  
  


• 
  

  At least eight to 10 glasses of water each day.

  
  


• 
  

  Healthy sources of fiber.

  
  


• 
  

  Essential vitamins and minerals.

Effective nutritional supplementation on the go—that’s what many busy people want. However, there’s a problem. Traditional protein and meal-replacement powders that are used for this purpose often sacrifice flavor for function. In fact, many people who try them consider them chalky, bland, lumpy, and gas-producing. These dislikes and discomforts have led many busy Americans to turn to their local fast-food restaurant instead of their local health food store.

Ditch the Drive-Through

If only there were a liquid meal that tasted better than a chocolate milkshake but was healthy enough to drink on a consistent basis. Well, with the advent of Muscle Milk, there is. From Chocolate to Banana Creme, there’s bound to be a flavor for every person’s taste. Additionally, with its Light, Ready-to-Drink (RTD), and Collegiate formulas, Muscle Milk doesn’t just taste great, it affords consumers a convenient option for their specific lifestyle.

Basing Muscle Milk on the composition of mother’s milk, CytoSport has developed a next-generation meal-replacement formula that’s reshaping the way people look at protein powders, as well as breakfast foods and snacks. Each Muscle Milk product’s unbelievable taste overshadows its highly complex proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and “good” fats. And, because Muscle Milk is rich in these micro and macro nutrients, users will also have sustained energy, instead of the fleeting stimulation produced by the more popular carbonated and highly addictive energy drinks.

Power in Diversity

Another strength of Muscle Milk lies in its diversity. It’s one of the first products of its kind to lend its unique flavor to whole foods, like breakfast and snack foods. For example, eating a bowl of Muscle Milk ‘n Oats will get your day off to a hearty, healthy start. Muscle Milk Pudding will put an end to that afternoon sugar craving. Each product offers a full spectrum of nutrients and supplies 20 to 30 grams of high-quality protein per serving, allowing you to quickly obtain the nutrition your body deserves.

Want to lose weight and build muscle at the same time? It’s easy. Just add Muscle Milk to your diet and watch your body release excess fat while it develops more lean, smooth muscle mass.

As physicians, nutritionists, coaches, and other wellness and fitness specialists know, excess weight can endanger your health. But just losing weight isn’t enough to guarantee improved physical vitality. Successful dieters need to focus on increasing the amount of lean muscle their bodies have.

Exercise is essential when you’re dieting. However, most diets cause people to lose about half fat and half lean muscle tissue, which makes exercising much more difficult and tiring. Because Muscle Milk nutrition includes high-quality whey protein that helps balance blood sugar, dieters who add this product to their dietary regimens have more energy for exercising and avoid overeating that’s brought on by powerful food cravings.

Consume Protein, Burn Fat

In fact, virtually everyone who wants a slimmer, stronger, and healthier body will benefit from Muscle Milk protein. A study published in the American Journal of Physiology confirmed that increasing protein intake increases fat burning. One group participating in the study ate a high-protein diet of slightly more than 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day; the other group ate amounts of protein closer to the daily allowances recommended by the U.S. government.

One reason that boosting protein intake burns more fat is that increasing protein increases thermic effect. The thermic effect the high-protein-eating group in the study mentioned above experienced increased by 42 percent, while the other group’s thermic effect increased by only 16 percent.

Give Your Metabolism a Boost

Adding more Muscle Milk protein to your diet also increases metabolism, since our bodies burn more calories by processing protein than it does by digesting carbohydrates. Merely cutting calories causes your body to respond by lowering your
metabolism, which makes it more difficult to lose weight.  But increasing the percentage of protein in your diet makes your body burn more fat, and exercising while dieting further boosts your metabolism. Boosting protein intake when dieting also stops your body from behaving as if you are starving. In starvation mode, your body tries to conserve energy by burning as few calories as possible—hardly a state that dieters espouse, and one that Muscle Milk protein can help deflect.

The period of adolescence is second only to infancy in terms of rapid physical growth and change, making CytoSport Muscle Milk an excellent sports-nutrition option to consider for the young-adult athlete and the training teen. Optimum nutrition is essential to reaching full growth, health, and overall wellness potentials in any adolescent, and meeting the increased nutritional needs of this stage of development can be difficult, especially with the fast-paced lifestyle of today. Muscle Milk products offer a smart and safe solution to the special nutritional challenges of this life stage, especially when it comes to the additional support required by the active young adult.

Grow Up 

Muscle Milk ingredients offer the growing body just what it needs to support muscle growth, and also can serve to help repair and protect that muscle. Protein, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 are just a few of the muscle-building elements in Muscle Milk. The adolescent body also requires more of these nutrients to be at its best in terms of health and fitness. Protein is essential to muscle repair, something that is important for protecting the young athlete from the effects of muscle strain and sports injuries. When directions for its use are followed, Muscle Milk can make a significant contribution to the body’s overall health and well-being.

Get the Facts

When making nutritional choices, having the facts is important. Understanding what the body needs and the safest way to supply it is essential, particularly for those making above-average demands on the body, as is the case with teen athletes. Muscle Milk is designed to provide nutritional support in a way that promotes muscle growth safely, with the body’s overall health and well-being in mind. Muscle Milk is patterned after mother’s milk—the substance that best supports the rapid growth that occurs during infancy, the period in which growth and development happen even faster than in adolescence. The supplement is designed specifically to be able to be used effectively and safely by the body.

When you hear the word “lipids,” you probably think about fat and cholesterol. The word is commonly used in connection with body fat. And if you’re an athlete looking to build major muscle mass, you might think lipids are something to avoid. But not all lipids are alike. As savvy bodybuilders have learned, one type of fat can be your friend: Lean Lipids. Read the rest of this entry »

Muscle Milk is designed to help consumers build, retain, and protect muscle mass. What makes it a standout bodybuilding and sports-nutrition supplement is that it is modeled after nature itself as much as possible. This helps ensure that the body can easily, effectively use it. Colostrum is an important part of what makes this muscle builder so effective, and its inclusion is smart science, based on a clear understanding of how nature enables mammals to survive and thrive.

During infancy, the nutritional demands of mammals are strong, and this is a period of rapid muscle growth and physical development. An important part of the earliest stages of post-birth development, colostrum is the first nutrition the mammal consumes immediately after birth, as it makes the transition to taking in nutrients orally.

What Is Colostrum?

The mother produces this fluid at the end of pregnancy and right after delivery, before milk production begins. It contains highly concentrated nutrients and other essential substances, and it is this concentration that gives it a deeper, richer color than milk. This allows the infant to receive the immediate support its body needs for the period of rapid growth and development it will experience, without having to struggle to take in the volume of fluids it would have to in order to meet those needs with milk alone. CytoSport Muscle Milk uses bovine colostrum because it is packed with powerful proteins and other nutrients and is well-tolerated by most people. After all, this is a substance made by nature for the delicate digestive systems of newborns.

Many bodybuilders and other athletes turn to Muscle Milk as a supplement for lean protein, and to obtain the vital nutrients necessary for recovery. Muscle Milk contains a number of quality nutrients and additives that can enhance muscle growth and repair, encouraging natural creatine production, which in turn helps build strength. Gaining muscle during training is a common goal of many fitness enthusiasts, and creatine supplements alone cannot provide the same level of quality nutrition as Muscle Milk. The secret lies in the combination of creatine GCC, EvoPro, and Lean Lipids found in Muscle Milk powders and shakes. Instead of a simple creatine formula, Muscle Milk provides a proprietary blend of fat-burning strength enhancers.

What Is Creatine?

Creatine is naturally produced by the body to encourage muscle growth. This is stimulated by exercise and optimal nutrition, and most people need to eat a sufficient amount of protein to help build muscles while they train. Supplementing the diet with weight gainers or muscle-building powders can help, and Muscle Milk is quickly becoming a top choice for many athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts. Occurring naturally in red meat, creatine contains essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Creatine supplements can help build up muscles after intensive workout sessions, and also help replenish energy in the process by increasing the body’s uptake of carbohydrates and glycogen.

What Do Muscle Milk’s Key Ingredients Do?

Muscle Milk is made of a proprietary blend of muscle-enhancing products, including creatine GCC, EvoPro, and Lean Lipids.

Creatine GCC helps encourages creatine production within the body, and can help eliminate the need of excess creatine supplements. Muscle Milk can help stimulate the growth of muscle fibers by releasing the necessary levels of creatine GCC into the body.
