Muscle Milk is not like any other supplement I've encountered. My mother was an herbal life dealer and I grew up with a wide variety of protiens and other additives. Many drinks are just like eating steak, eggs, and fish. You'd be better off just eating that good food. When you want or need somthing more than food and don't want to put on any fat, or if you want to loose a little fat while building muscle, this is the good stuff. I frequently work nights, frequently 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for a month or more without a break. You need superfood to be healty in that kind of environment. Taking these shakes before bed also works great for cutting fat. Your metabolism will keepgoing all night, you'll twitch in your dreams and burn off fat, in particular because of the "lean lipids" in the mix. I buy these over amazon fairly regularly and the always get here quickly.
