Muscle milk is pure whey protein.
And creatine mono is found in every single muscle in your body. Taking the 5g per day in muscle milk will replenish what you use during a workout.
Any further comments pm me.
I don't want to stir the pot but I've got to clear some misinformation...
1.) Muscle Milk and Monster milk aren't pure whey protein. They're actually protein blends containing whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, caseinates and other stuff.
2.) Monster Milk doesn't contain creatine monohydrate. It contains what Cytosport calls Kre-Alkaline and Creatine GCC, which is really betaine anhydrous and glycocyamine. Glycocyamine, or guanidinoacetate, is a creatine precursor and has not been studied nearly as extensively as creatine monohydrate. Unfortunately, glycocyamine supplementation is known and/or suspected of having negative effects, one of which is suspected to be an increase in homocysteine levels. Cytosport maintains that using glycocyamine is safe but they removed it from their Muscle Milk product citing the fact that it wasn't a primary reason for purchase. I don't claim to be a biologist, chemist, or even nutritionist, so I'll leave it for you people to do the research and come to your own conclusions. Personally, if I wanted to, I'd rather supplement with creatine monohydrate. It's cheap, proven, and researched.
And on a side note, it's interesting how many people are still all about ON whey. Their marketing department deserves a raise.
