Muscle milk Part 3

Muscle Milk and BodyBuilding

There is no doubt that muscle milk can add calories to your diet, but it is not an anabolic agent. To build the body, one needs an exercise regimen to compliment the muscle milk. If a person simply drinks muscle milk and does not exercise, he/she will get fat.

The sellers of muscle milk seem to propagate a myth that simply drinking this milk product every day will give you a body like Mr. Schwarzneger- in truth you will end up more like Butterball. While the milk is high in calories, it definitely won’t build your body without adding a fitness program to the regimen. Most body builders also take a variety of anabolic steroids/GH/thyroxin with muscle milk. On its own, muscle milk is no different from the milk shake you get from McDonald’s.

There is zero evidence that muscle milk on its own can increase muscle mass or improve exercise performance. The muscle milk is simply made up of proteins, carbohydrates and fat. It does not contain any type of anabolic steroid or a drug which can increase muscle mass or burn your fat.

Conflicting views

While there are some body builders who think muscle milk is great, there are also others who think that the product is overrated and useless. Not everyone claims that the drink is refreshing and tasty. And not all people who drink this product have good results. But there is some scientific evidence that drinking high calorie beverages can help one recover after injury and improve exercise performance. There have been many other pharmacological effects attributed to muscle milk- such as the ability to diminish pain, promote selective protein synthesis and oxidize the fat- all without any scientific backing.
