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.

Calves develop much faster than human babies, getting to their feet and walking soon after birth, quickly developing muscle and gaining control over it. It is that rapid muscle development that allows calves to survive and thrive. Before bovines were domesticated by humans, this early mobility contributed to their survival by helping calves avoid being devoured by predators. Bovine colostrum fuels that rapid early development, containing—on average—three to four times as much protein as the milk that follows it. And that is exactly why colostrum is such an essential part of the Muscle Milk formula.

Reach Your Goals, and Thrive

When used as directed, Muscle Milk can make important contributions to health and fitness goals. CytoSport’s inclusion of powerful natural substances, such as colostrum, in Muscle Milk helps the body to perform at its best, while building muscle mass. Solid nutritional support also helps the body retain the muscle it builds, increasing overall strength and endurance. Relying on essential elements of nature’s own blueprints for building strong and healthy young mammals by supporting the rapid muscle development necessary for survival, Muscle Milk is a great choice when it comes to bodybuilding supplements and sports nutrition.
