CytoSport has been producing sports nutritional products and protein supplements since 1998. One of the most popular nutritional products is Muscle Milk---a protein supplement with a blend of ingredients that produces a milkshake taste. The goal of Muscle Milk is to promote lean muscle growth and fast recovery after exercise by providing essential protein, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Protein
Protein is the top macronutrient found in Muscle Milk. One serving of the Muscle Milk powder provides 32 g of a high-quality functional protein formula. The protein blend is designed to supply a steady and constant flow of protein and consists of whey protein isolate, calcium and sodium caseinates, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and micellar casein.
Calories
One serving of Muscle Milk powder consists of two scoops and provides about 300 calories. Protein provides about 43 percent of the calories, fat provides about 36 percent and carbohydrates provide the final 21 percent.
Features
Muscle Milk contains a specific blend of ingredients that combine to form the specific taste of each flavor. The most common flavors of Muscle Milk include vanilla crème, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate milk and strawberries and crème, with specialty flavors including mocha latte, chocolate malt, cake batter, pineapple banana and peach mango. Each flavor of Muscle Milk is made from a lactose-free formula and is designed to be consumed within 30 to 45 minutes following a workout or competition.
Carbohydrates and Fats
One serving of Muscle Milk powder provides a blend of complex carbohydrates and functional fats. Each serving contains a total of 16 g of carbohydrates, 5 g of dietary fiber and 4 g of sugars. The total fat content is 12 g per serving, with 6 g of saturated fat. The fats are trans-fat free medium chain-triglycerides that are used by the muscles to metabolize fat for energy.
Nutrients
Muscle Milk powder is fortified with 20 essential vitamins and minerals. Each serving has 35 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron. The goal of the additional vitamins and minerals is to provide the supplementary nutrition that is essential for an active lifestyle.
