Muscle Milk - Are the claims true?

:doh: Where are the research data documenting how effective muscle milk is in comparison to the other products? From what I read the blurb, I do not see anything but single case hand waving market aiming for people who really want to get the most out of artificial food to get them to where they want to go. If you'd like to know what product will be the most effective in helping you reach your goal, then you'd need to go to a reputated library where you'd find research studies. More often than not, marketing does not really reflect what scienitific studies with great reliability have to such about the product you are interested in. Stick with unprocessed wholesome food and you'd be fine. :D

I've used it for a year....and think its fantastic (mixed with milk taken after workout). Yup I was hungry last night after my gruelling workout, and had a glass instead of eating junk. Paul what benefit have you found from it?

I knew you were juicing! What other "secrets" do you possess? Viagra and Red Bull! :banana:

looks like a protein drink with a cute name and marketing plan Check out this link: www.bodybuilding.com/.../milk.html Firstly, are the claims for real? Anyone out there taking it who can back up anything that the makers claim it does? Secondly, is it legal? It seems to be on a par with Creatine which, as far as I can ascertain from other threads on this forum, is not banned. Finally, are there any hazards to taking something like this? sincerely Syd

It may help with recovery, though, in my experience. Admittedly I don't do mega yard either. I think it may be causing me to get a bit gassier than usual...I'm not sure I will buy any more...I really only wanted protein and glucose in a shake as a filler before working out.

Yep. I'd rather eat real food. So would I but I don't have the leisurely lifestyle to plan my meals optimally around training...I get home at 5, I swim at about 7...if I eat first I'll barf. If I have nothing I will tire out too soon.

On another note, I think Muscle Milk is a fantastic supplement and the MCT's in it are really beneficial for most people. Is their whey isolate better than the competition? I doubt it, but still it is fairly high quality. Endorsed swimmers by Cytosport (makers of Muscle Milk) include Roland Schoeman and Rachel Komisarz.
