If you're lactose-intolerant, you can have Muscle Milk, because there's no lactose. Wondering what's in Muscle Milk?
The drink contains vitamins A, C and D. It also has calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and potassium. That means it's the most prevalent form of protein in the drink. Whey protein is created during cheese production, per the U. National Library of Medicine. This whey is dehydrated and turned into powder form, which is rich in protein and mostly lacks dairy.
Proteins from different food sources like eggs, beef and milk are tested on this scale. The score measures how easy the protein is to digest and how many amino acids your body can get from the protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and there are 20 in total.
Your body uses all amino acids, so it's important that your protein source has a wide variety. Whey protein and other animal sources like eggs are rated as a 1. Soy protein is rated as a 0. That means the whey protein in Muscle Milk is one of the highest-quality proteins you can have. If you use a different protein powder that has a score of less than 1. Concentrate means that most of the non-dairy ingredients have been filtered out of the whey protein.
The next ingredient is calcium sodium caseinate. Casein is a form of milk protein, but is different from whey protein. Whereas whey protein is digested quickly, casein protein is slow digesting. That means you have two kinds of protein in Muscle Milk that work at different rates.
It contains both casein and whey protein , and is safe to consume even you're lactose-intolerant. After three kinds of protein, soluble vegetable fiber is next on the ingredients list.
There are two kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Both are important for heart health. Soluble fiber turns into a gel-like substance when it's digested.
It takes longer to digest than simple carbohydrates like sugar and is found in foods like oat, barley, seeds, beans and lentils. It's a healthier form of carbohydrate than a simple sugar like glucose, which is found in many sports drinks.
Oat fiber is also included as an ingredient in Muscle Milk. Another source of carbohydrate listed in Muscle Milk is maltodextrin. This is used as a thickener, sweetener and stabilizer. Since it's relatively inexpensive, maltodextrin is added to many foods and beverages. Fats included in the ingredients list include sunflower oil, canola oil and medium chain triglycerides. There are only 9 grams of fat in Muscle Milk, making it the least prevalent of the macronutrients. Muscle Milk is a good protein, as long as you don't mind the extra carbohydrates and fat.
Some protein powders have lower carbohydrate counts. If you have any food allergies, are concerned about artificial sweetener consumption, have a chronic kidney condition, or require prescription medication, use caution when drinking Muscle Milk.

Hey I just want to say thanks for the info man.
Thanks guys, for those testimonies. That's awesome. I love the stuff too. Works amazingly. Have started taking muscle milk protein shakes for weight gain am 61 and very healthy except for being underweight will this product help with my weight gain. MM fills me up pretty well, so I use it as a meal replacement.
And since it has different kinds of protein, you have more options about when you can take it. It has both quick and slow absorption proteins, so you can take it before or after a workout. I prefer to take it about an hour before a workout because it has medium chain triglycerides which the body turns into a nice boost of quick energy, and the slow absorption proteins get a nice amount of amino acids into the bloodstream for the workout. But that's just me. You might want to experiment a bit and see what gives you the best results.
One more question. Is it recommended to eat a meal before or after taking MM, especially after a workout?? Raj, it's hard to say what's causing your muscle pain, but if its started since you began taking Muscle Milk, then it's pretty safe to assume that the Muscle Milk is causing it.
Cramps and muscle pain could be the result of an allergic reaction to something in the powder or it might also have to do with the fact that your diet has changed so drastically. You might not be getting enough minerals like potassium and magnesium anymore. It's hard to say. If it were me, I'd try a different protein powder and see if that stops your muscle pain. If not, you might want to think about ways of getting more vitamins and minerals in your high protein, low carb diet.
Best of luck man! Hi I just started with the product 15 days back , My dietician advised me as she put me on to a hi protein no carb diet for a weight loss programme, I wanted to know ,is that fine?? As I have noticed I feel muscle pain and get body aches all the time since I started taking it ' I take one scoop with chilled milk during lunch time. Just to tell you I have a history of hi blood pressure for last 3 years and I am on medication , also does muscle milk has any side effect on the kidney??
Yeah, that's what it's designed to do, to build muscle while burning fat. It's pretty effective. I like it more than any other protein powder I've taken. I've been weight lifting for about 2 an half years now and i have gained some muscles looking a little buff, but one thing i could never do was lose weight as in fat, Im still notably fat and for awhile i've been running, doing cardio as well and yet no results of losing weight.
I have been thinking about talking muscle milk for awhile because i've heard it gets you lean and well not only gain muscle but also lose fat, so should MM be recommended to me?? It should. But it's also formulated to help people who want to build muscle while burning fat, and it doesn't sound like you have a huge amount of fat to burn. Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
I haven't tried every powder out there, but it definitely helps me keep the weight down. Having it for breakfast is a good way to start off the day. So I have been using Muscle Milk as a breakfast meal replacement to help me lose weight. I am working out as well but I usually mix 2 scoops with skim milk. I am not a breakfast person Wow, doing all that at That's pretty impressive. I should be getting a recommendation from you probably : For someone in your situation, simpler is probably better.
Muscle milk has all kinds of extraneous compounds that probably wouldn't do you any good. But protein powders that are based on whey or eggs might be perfect and might help you gain some extra muscle. Whey in fact, is probably better than egg because of the cholesterol issue you mentioned.
I'm having a hard time building muscles at age 68 even-though I am a very active person hiking, biking, gym workouts and backcountry skiing in the winter. I read the negative report from Consumer Report as well as tons of good and bad reviews online. I have a high cholesterol level and also don't want to gain extra weight except muscle mass! What do you recommend? I love when people can solve their own issues through nutrition without having to get prescription meds and things like that from the doctors.
I'm a lot like you. I don't eat a huge amount because I'm always on the go. For awhile, I was eating tons of hard boiled eggs as snacks. Those are great -- full of protein and all natural.
Thanks very much for stopping by. I hate almost all protien shakes cause the taste alone makes me sick.
I have not had a protien shake in almost 6 years cause I got real sick from being on a very high Protien shake. That was my fault and I learned my lesson, but because I got so sick I get the willies just thinking about drinking a protien shake. I needed to go on a balanced diet because of health reasons and I don't eat enough during the day cause I'm always on the go. So I started eating times a day, with foods that I could keep in my car otherwise I would forget them in the morning like apples, applesauce, pears, oranges, etc.
My doctor told me that I wasn't getting enough protien a day even if I ate a piece of chicken or fish for dinner. So he recomened that drink protein shakes to substitute as a couple of my meals a day. So I went to the gas station and tried one of those premade Mucsle Milks, and loved it. Pluse it was Whey Protien I could keep it down.
I can't not drink heavy soy based protien shakes. I went out and bought a 13 serving choclate powder mix, and I drink two 2 scoop shakes between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner. Which is great cause around pm I would start crashing and would use to drink coffee in the afternoon. Not any more, I have so much energy after work that I go back to the gym in the evening to get another workout. Muscle Milk has been the best thing that has ever happened to my diet, cause even in the morning I hardly drink coffee.
Between cutting out large amounts of sugar mostly pop, that crap is the worst for you , exercise, eatting right, and Muscle Milk Iv never felt healthier and from being able to exercise my Arthrits in my back and both ankles haven't been keeping me down. I love Muscle Milk. Hey there, I hope it works well for you. I really like the stuff. As far as the protein goes, I've found that two scoops is more than enough, especially for a lb person.
I weigh , so we're about the same, and I actually only take one scoop about an hour before the workout, and found that it really boosts my muscle building even at that. To answer your question, two scoops is definitely more than enough protein to sustain just about as hard a workout as you can manage. The thing that's cool about muscle milk is that it contains both quickly digestible protein and slower digested protein, which keeps your bloodstream full of free floating amino acids for the maximum amount of time.
If you really want to maximize your muscle building, you might want to consider taking one scoop before the workout and one scoop after. It's hard to say how long you should be working out, because my personal philosophy is to just workout until I'm dead tired. Sometimes for me, it happens in just 45 minutes because the workout is so intense, while others it takes me an hour and a half.
Let me know how it works for you. So since you've used the product and seen results, I recently bought a tub and been workout out for an hour and a half everyday since the first of January.
