Plenty of high-protein nutrition supplements are on the market, and Cytosport products may be worth considering if you are having trouble getting adequate nutrition from your regular food. Evopro and Muscle Milk are high-protein Cytomax products that you can use as sports supplements or for weight control. A nutritionist can help you develop a meal plan for your active lifestyle or for weight loss, and guide you in choosing between Evopro and Muscle Milk.
Overview of Products
Evopro comes in 2.4 lb. containers of chocolate or vanilla protein powder, and a serving is a single, 34 g, scoop mixed with 6 oz. to 8 oz. cold water. You can use less water for a thicker shake. The Muscle Milk product line is more varied than Evopro. Muscle Milk comes in powders and ready-to-drink beverages with flavors not only including chocolate and vanilla, but also banana, chocolate malt, chocolate mint, strawberry, cake and brownie batter, cinnamon bun and cookies and crème. Cytosport also makes Muscle Milk reduced-calorie ready-to-drink beverages and bars.
Ingredients
The primary ingredient of Evopro powders is a proprietary protein blend with isolated milk protein and whey and casein as sources of high-quality protein. Evopro has some fat from canola and safflower oil. Muscle Milk products contain Evopro as their source of protein and fat, and additional ingredients in some products include fiber from maltodextrin and corn fiber, sugars from fructose, sucrose and corn syrup and essential vitamins and minerals. Most Evopro and Muscle Milk contain artificial sweeteners, although Muscle Milk natural powder has stevia, a natural sweetener, instead of aspartame and sucralose.
Sports Supplement
For you to get the most out of your training program, you need to get the right nutrients for fueling your exercise and for replenishing your energy stores and promoting muscle recovery after a workout. Muscle Milk products may be a better source of energy than Evopro because they are higher in carbohydrates, which is the main source of fuel for your body, according to Iowa State University. However, they may lead to more gastrointestinal discomfort than Evopro if you use them before a workout because of their fat and fiber.
Daily Use
Muscle Milk 'n' Oats are single-serving packages of high-protein instant oatmeal, and flavors include maple and brown sugar, vanilla, banana walnut and apple cinnamon. You can use them as part of a balanced breakfast or for a whole-grain snack. Muscle Milk bars can be snacks throughout the day, and shakes are fortified with essential nutrients because they are designed for use as meal replacements. Evopro may be better for you if you are trying to increase your protein intake and you like the flexibility of a protein powder that is not high in most other nutrients.
