Caused me to have heart palpitations
26 Oct 2009 - Robyn of Connecticut, USA
I have been using Muscle Milk for about a year, during this time I developed heart palpitaions. Went to dr. they found nothing wrong. It finally occured to me it might be the muscle milk and I when I stopped using it, the palpitations stopped too. Then I waited about 3 weeks, no palipations then used it and they returned. I would not recommend anyone using this product.
Delicious
25 Oct 2009 - Chris of Texas, USA
In addition to the fact that this is the only protein mix I've tried that hasn't left me feeling somewhat bloated, it mixes very well and tastes great. Although I haven't been using it long enough to seriously consider the benefits it's had on my muscular and weightlifting progress, I used it as a meal replacement before my shift at work tonight, and I had very consistent energy.
muscle milk hands down
18 Oct 2009 - martez of Alabama, USA
For me liquid protiens are hard to get down.all liquid protiens taste horrible,all except chocolate muscle milk.chocolate muscle milk has a great taste to it and an even better taste if u make it with milk.I took muscle milk (chocolate) before and after everywork out for about a month and decided to not take it for 2 weeks just to see if i noticed any diffrence.did I ever see any diffrence.when i had stopped taking this product i didnt have energy like i had had while i wuz taking it.also tha muscle pains that come along with weight lifting were there everymorning after my workouts but while i was taking mm those pain were not there.mm had helped me with energy more reps while in the gym and recovery speed from my workouts. i think its a great product and i will continue using it.
Ingredients

I love it except, it contains sucralose. I contacted Cytosports about this and the next day I received a reply. They have Muscle Milk Naturals with all natural sweeteners. I'll be using this when I can get it. The other thing is it contains calcium as di-calcium phosphate. This should be calcium carbonate. The latter is much more bio-available and bio-accessible. I hope they change this as well. I use MM before and after workouts and it does deliver. If they improve it I'll probably use it even more. As with all supplements take the time to find out what's in it before using it. Sometimes what's on the bottle isn't what's in the bottle. With MM it appears they have a good product.
I like it
17 Mar 2009 - Duane of Kansas, USA
I have been using MM for over a year. I use the powder and prefer vanilla. The ready to drink stuff tastes nasty to me. I have tried some other protein powders but I did not like the taste as well and MM is the only one that does not give me gas since it is lactose free. I would recommend it.
Solid product that tastes great.
22 Feb 2009 - Jeff of Georgia, USA
I've used MM consistently for over a year now. I've tried other products occasionally and I must say MM beats all I've tried hands down for flavor. I've had good gains with other products as well but MM provides one of the most comprehensive blends available. It includes both whey and casein proteins so you don't have the hassle of drinking two different products at different times.
Sucralose
22 Feb 2009 - stan of Missouri, USA
I bought several bottles to try and then learned that sucralose is one of the ingredents. I was very disappointed to learn this is the sweetener they use. After reading about sucralose in a medical journal, I threw all of the bottles in the trash.
mint chocolate good, Vanilla terrible
5 Feb 2009 - erin of California, USA
The vanilla ready to drink is so bad!! I used to use the chocolate mint powder which taseted way better!!!, I does build muscle and I used it while i was in the military
BEST TASTING PROTEIN
29 Jan 2009 - Alex of California, USA
I tried most of the protein powders on the market: ESA, Optimum, BSN, Muscle Asylum, e.t.c. In my opinion all of them taste the same. Then I picked up a MuscleMilk (banana flavor), and after that I'm not going to switch to anything else for a while. This is the best tasting thing on the market. The only other protein that I could compare is Isopure, although that one is in different category due to 0 gramms of carbs. MuscleMilk mixes perfectly in my shaker bottle that I carry to gym with me. No complains. I would give it a 5+! We all have different tastes, and I know another reviewer gave this product a bad rating due to the taste. Try a small bottle ($4 at gnc) that's ready-to-drink, and judge for yourself.
Its not disgusting
28 Jan 2009 - raul of Texas, USA
Muscle milk is by far the best protein supplement Ive ever tried it taste good and works even better my only gripe is the consistency you have to use a blender or electric mixer cup because the shaker cups dont mix it very well
Nice
1 Jan 2009 - Adam of New Jersey, USA
Ive tried many different flavors over the past year and i have to say that my personal favorites are peanut butter, and mint; very good. Ive noticed solid gains... 17yrs old 6'1" going from 176lbs to 199 currently. i mean i dont know why you wouldnt take this, or any similar product for that matter. it has a solid 34g protein which is more like 50g after mixing with like 2cups milk. very solid product.
Banana Cream Tastes AWFUL
15 Dec 2008 - Vince of Arizona, USA
I picked up some MM banana flavor at 24 HR Fitness in Phoenix, it was on sale so I thought I would give it a try. I have to say the banana flavored MM is the worst tasting supplement I have ever ingested! I tried to cut the flavor by mixing it with other protein powders but the flavor overwhelmed whatever I used. I don't make a lot of money to spend on supplements so it was tough but I had no choice but to empty it into the garbage. I didn't even use a quarter of the product.
Muscle Milk good beware of lactose
11 Dec 2008 - chris of California, USA
I have taken Muscle Milk for two weeks. The shake taste fine gains are good. The only thing is that the lactose in it makes me throw up. So if your stomach is sestive to lactose don't use it, try cytogainer it is lactose free.
Impressed.
29 Sep 2008 - Sam of Victoria, Australia
I have been taking supplements for years and this is BY FAR the best tasting shake Ive ever had. The quality of the protein seems quite good too. Great for an any time shake
Dont like taste
22 Sep 2008 - Michael of Florida, USA
I have tried MM and the problem i have is i dont like the taste. I dont know if im doing something wrong but every sip makes me want to hurl...every1 i know has tried it and they all said it tastes fine idk
i like it a lot
31 Jul 2008 - David of Minnesota, USA
i like it a lot like u get notisable resalts in like 3-4 weeks!! and it tastes super good!!
Muscle Milk = Staple Supplement
12 Jul 2008 - Mike of Songtan, Republic of Korea
I have been using this product for, wow, almost two years. No matter what I am taking in my workout regiment, this will always be a staple in the stack. Whether I have been taking it to cut up or help pack on more lbs of mass, this has assisted my body just like I expected--with great results. I would recommend this product to beginners, pro's, anyone looking for a great before/after workout shake to help build & recover. All the pro's: it's cheap, it is the Best Tasting "Protein" Shake ever, it works, it is very easy on the stomach, you'll love to recommend it to a up-and-comer. Cons: The only con I can really think of is that you'll go through a bottle entirely to fast. I can only hope they come out with 10 lb bags like the Optimum Nutrition Whey. Final Verdict: Buy this product, you will not be dissapointed.
Torture in a bottle
29 Jun 2008 - Steve of Florida, USA
This was the first protein drink I ever drank and I used the ready to drink version. After getting home from the gym I drank it and I wasn't even done before I got the worst sick feeling you could ever imagine and I've eaten half a carton of ice cream and that wasn't even 1/100th what this gave me. First off I drank the vanilla creme one and it was the most disgusting thing I ever drank. Right after drinking it I had to lay down but a little while later I actually had to put my finger down my throat and throw up three different times before I felt normal again.
Great Taste; Not so Great Results
29 Jun 2008 - tim of Kentucky, USA
I've tried muscle milk off and on for a couple of years. I keep going back to because of all the different flavors and all that ive tried taste great, however the results ive seen as well as felt have not been near as good as other proteins ive tried. So if its good taste your after then its the way to go but if your like me and your more into results then you should try something else. Try [] (its a lean protein with a great taste and ive expericenced great gains)
