Muscle Milk

Cytosport’s Muscle milk claims to be the first product which has been replicated after human mother’s milk, helping grow muscle faster than the usual choices like whey, creatine etc.

Mother’s milk has long been thought to contain the essential nutrients for muscle growth and Cytosport claims to have isolated these after years of research. They have also claimed to have discovered ways to improve on it further by reducing lactose and fat and found a way to recreate the lean promoting lipids that are found in mother’s milk.

Muscle milk enhances muscle growth in the following three ways that other products cannot do so.

1)Creatine GCC
Creatine supplements are a popular method to enhance muscle growth but better still would be if your body could produce more of its own. Cytosport says that they have found a novel method of incorporating creatine GCC in your diet which helps the body produce more than the normal creatine.

2)Evo Pro
Evo Pro is a nitrogen source contains alpha and beta micellar caseins, a-Lactalbumin, lactoferrin, glutamine peptides and more which help muscle tissue grow more rapidly.

3)Custom fat structures promote leanness at the same time retaining more energy in the body and these are found in human milk. This leads to thermogensis whereby which enables proteins and amino acids to be used for muscle growth. Lean lipids enhance retention of minerals which are important for muscle contraction and they are a wonderful source of these customized lipids for aspiring athletes.

Muscle milk contains good lipids which are thought to promote fat loss in the following ways.

It is important to understand how fats function in different ways. The type of fat you ingest can promote muscle growth or it can end up being stored as body fat. Muscle milk contains good lipids that have three ways to trigger fat loss. 20% of human and muscle milk lipids consist of MCT’s which are predigested fatless fats end up being burned for muscle energy and heat than being stored as fat.
Muscle milk uses a special enzyme engineering which makes lipids like long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids more functional and help with mineral retention.
Calories with engineered lipids promote leanness and taken before or after workouts end up being used for workout energy with less being deposited as fat.
Therefore, though muscle milk may contain more fat than other ultra carb products, their lean lipids help one get a leaner body.
It also comes around 23 flavors such as banana crème, blue berries and crème, chocolate, peach mango etc.
It comes under the category of protein blends which can be taken at any time of the day and also used as a ideal bed time protein. Some do not recommend using muscle milk post workout primarily because it is a protein blend of whey and casein proteins and they have different rates of digestion and absorption. Protein gets digested and assimilates rapidly in our body and this also fills our blood with amino acids rapidly which inhibits muscle breakdown and causes protein synthesis the effects of which do not last long. But studies suggest that whey protein is oxidized and this is as much as is used for protein synthesis . Therefore, this means that less of what you ingest is used to build muscle. On the other hand the rate of digestion and absorption is slower in casein proteins. This leads to more time for protein synthesis and lesser for energy production.
Though muscle milk has a higher fat content than any other supplement, there is no need to be alarmed as most of the fats are medium chain tryglicerides (MCT). They have a slightly lower calorie content and end up being rapidly assimilated in our body and burned as energy. Studies have also shown that compared to other fats MCT increases calorie burning. 

You have to find the key to your own weight loss which is not to say that you do not follow basic common sense. All the points listed above are just that, common sense which will almost always work.
