Description
CytoSport’s Muscle Milk RTD BAN is an evolutionary muscle formula that boosts muscle growth, recovery and fat burning. Clinically complete, multi-sourced proteins and “good” fats stimulate muscle growth and repair similar to the benefits of mother’s milk. CytoSport replicated the muscle growth factors and lean-promoting lipids found in human mother’s milk to create a potent high protein, muscle-building shake.
The two main proteins in human milk are whey and casein. Muscle Milk features EverPro, a proprietary mix of proteins that include whey and casein. These proteins contain optimal concentrations of amino acids (protein building blocks) that promote positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). Whey is quickly metabolized in the body while casein is more slow digesting. This synergistic pairing leads to sustained protein availability, supplying muscles with more amino acids for a longer time period.
Muscle Milk’s “good” fats include medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These special fats help burn stored fat, enhance fat metabolism and promote leanness. MCTs are more easily digested by the body than other larger fat molecules. They are typically burned as muscle energy and aren’t likely to be stored as body fat. MCTs also promote positive nitrogen retention.
Pros
Muscle Milk is the first product based on nature’s primary muscle building food – mother’s milk. This ready-to-drink shake has a rich banana creme flavor and contains 21 grams of protein and 220 calories per serving.
The nutrients in Muscle Milk RTD BAN have numerous benefits including:
- EverPro protein mix promotes positive nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein)
- "Good" MCT fats boost fat burning and fat metabolism
- Enhances muscle repair and recovery
Cons
Muscle Milk RTD can be high in calories if you opt to drink more than one shake a day.
Individuals who are allergic to dairy products should avoid taking whey protein.
Ingesting MCTs on an empty stomach can cause GI (gastrointestinal) upset.
People with pre-existing medical conditions or taking medication should not supplement with Muscle Milk RTD BAN without consulting a physician.
