Customer Reviews of CytoSport Muscle Milk, Chocolate, 2.47 Pound
Customer Review: Wonderful for working out and keeping body at optimum.
Summary: 5 Stars
Put aside any doubts that this product is filled with fluff. I drink this on a regular before, during and after my workouts and it certainly tastes better than mostly any other muscle building protein drink out their and in addition it helps when it comes to my muscles being sore. I believe it provides nutrients that repair muscle fibers after a vigorous workot session. I normally have just one a day but you can have up to 3 a day and it actually tells you to drink 3 a day. (one hour before, during and up to an hour after your daily workout. Although I would also advise only using this if you are doing push-ups, pull-ups, curls and leg exercises (squats) or any exercise involving weights. Don't use with cardio-workouts unless you have also done any of the previous exercises mentioned. I am not an expert but I figured that since this will build muscle that a cardio workout (designed usually to get blood working and burn fat) is not an workout you need this with. But again that is my opinion which is not professional. In any case, this product works great (or seems to work great). I have used this for 2 months so far.Customer Review: Great product, but read before you buy!

Muscle Milk is a great product; it has an innovative, scientific make-up and works really great, if you know how to use it properly.
These kinds of products are not miracle muscle growers, as some of the previous reviews have been confused about. Protein supplements work to help build muscle while you yourself are working to build muscle, through weight lifting, training etc.
Proteins are macromolecules that can be found in many food products, but supplements like this are the easiest way to get a lot of protein, fast. The presence of this extra protein in your body will be essential during muscle growth, AFTER YOU WORK YOUR MUSCLES! Muscles rebuild themselves, so basically the more you work them, the more they have to repair themselves, the bigger they get.
Again, this is not a MiracleGrow product! As a side note, consult with your doctor before increasing your protein intake to very high levels. Also, don't consume too much of this stuff a day; it can actually be bad for you in large quantities.
On a final note, the Chocolate flavor tastes okay, but not great.
Customer Review: Yes, it works.

This was a gamble since it isn't cheap and the results promised are no different from any other supplement ad campaign. I only tried Muscle Milk because I read up on it after seeing it endorsed by an NFL athelete during an ESPN interview. I started using it about 2 months ago and have been consistant with the servings daily. Two months later my strength has increased, my mass has increased and my body fat has noticeably diminished. My workout routine and diet was always the same before starting on MM but the results since using MM have made an impact, there is nothing else I can attribute it to. The fact that it also tastes great is a nice bonus but given the definite results of MM I would still use it if it tastes like battery acid. Do not fool yourself, it is loaded with fat. It relies on you to workout steadily and maintian a clean diet for you to realize it's true benefit. You will not get sculpted by using MM without commitment, you will only get fatter. But if you are committed and use MM as suggested it will most certainly produce a change in your appearance.Customer Review: Lots of good stuff in this, and some not so good stuff too

So I bought this stuff to supplement my nutritional needs as a triathlete. I've had Muscle Milk in a carton that I bought from my local store, but this was my first try at the powder. I was trying to save some money but I think I'll go back to a more natural product. The container says to mix in two scoops, and the scooper in the container is HUGE, about the size of 1 1/2 shot glasses! But I did just as the thing said to do. There are two things I really dislike about Muscle Milk: With two scoops, it tasted strange and I got some bad intestinal gas. After cutting back to one scoop I didn't have the gas problem but it still tasted odd. After reading the label closely (which I admittedly should've done before buying it) I found that it has artificial sweetener in it. I would prefer natural, unprocessed sugar instead. I'm really careful about what goes into my body and I won't be buying this stuff unless they start using real sugar. As an athlete my body can process sugar just fine, but artificial, chemical, and processed items have no place for me.

It's a common misconception that protein supplements will help you get huge fast. In truth, the human body can't really build protein just by digesting it. I've tried this product before (cookies and cream, very tasty) and I'm overall satisfied with it as a MEAL REPLACEMENT milkshake. I do not comsume these before or after my workouts or at any specific time everyday. Instead, when I'm in a rush or I wake up late... or if I'm just hungry and too lazy to cook a chicken breast, steak or some eggs, then I'll just pop a scoop and a half into a tall glass of milk and I'm all set for several hours. Your body requires like 60g of protein everyday just to stay healthy and probably about double that if your exercising regularly but this wont help increase your size, you'll have to hit the gym for that.
So if you're buying this as a SUPPLEMENT to your diet, then I encourage you to do so! But if you're buying it just because you think that its a easy way to bulk up then don't buy it, take the money and put it towards a gym membership or a home gym.
