Muscle Milk is not actually milk, or milk derived from muscles. It is a protein powder formulated for the serious athlete or weight lifter. Protein powder is a pure source of protein formulated with lots of vitamins, minerals and without the extra calories and fat. A good protein powder is probably the best muscle-building tool you can buy. You don’t have to be a serious athlete to use protein powder as many with diabetes have found. Replacing some meals with a protein powder shake keeps the blood sugar levels stable. Muscle Milk is one brand of protein powder that is a mix of whey and casein protein. Whey protein is digested and absorbed rapidly while the casein protein is digested slower. It’s like a time release protein powder in that after the whey protein is used up the casein protein kicks in.

Despite the name, this supplement is not actually milk from muscles. The nutrition inside Muscle Milk is made up of lean lipids that help you build muscle while burning fat and you will only get quality proteins in this product.

If you are serious about muscle building or bodybuilding then you know how important it is to find a perfect protein supplement. Don't waste your time or money on products that are full of hype and worst of all bad taste.

The Lean Lipids in Muscle Milk promote fat loss instead of fat storage. The medium chain triglycerides in Muscle Milk are burned for energy instead of being stored as fat. 20% of the lipids in this protein powder are medium chain triglycerides. The long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also not likely to be stored as fat as they have been engineered that way. Studies show that calories from engineered lipids promote leanness.

Muscle Milk also helps grow muscles faster than just whey protein or creatine. Muscle Milk was engineered to be most like mother’s milk which also promotes strong muscle growth. It also has factors that produce the best levels of creatine in the body which also fuels muscles. It is best to take Muscle Milk before and after your workouts. Before a workout provides the energy and calories needed during your intense workout. After the workout Muscle Milk provides nutrients to speed up muscle recovery.

Now choose your protein blend. I recommend a protein powder that blends different protein powder sources so that you have fast release protein and slow release protein. A protein powder that combines casein and whey is the best. Check also to make sure you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients, such as lactose, used in the protein powders.

Protein powder is the most basic and fundamental of all bodybuilding and fitness supplements. This high-quality protein is perfect for the diet low in protein, people dieting, and vegetarians. Protein powder is available in many forms, with the two most popular being whey or milk based protein and soy based protein. Protein powder is essential for building muscle and it's easy/convenient to carry around with you. The best time to utilize protein powder is right after a workout.
