 MILK the best option?
Is chocolate milk the best option after a tough workout? You've heard this before right? Well, if I had a choice between a glass of water and a glass of chocolate milk I'd go for the milk. But the better choice would be a clean whey isolate or isolate/concentrate blend and possibly some carbohydrates. Why not the milk option?
8oz of milk contains approximately 8grams of protein. it also contains a fair amount of lactose (milk sugar) and an 8oz. glass of 2% milk contains about 250 calories.
For a male who weighs approximately 180lbs and is pretty lean we would recommend 1gram of protein per pound of body weight. He could eat or drink this every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day (6 meals or snacks) which would equate to 30grams per serving.
Going back to our milk example, this would mean he needed approximately 4 glasses of milk to equal the proper protein to optimize muscle mass. That means he would need to drink 1 quart of milk. Good luck digesting all that lactose...and that is close to 1000 calories.
As another option 1 scoop of Max Pro only contains a few grams of carbs and delivers 30grams of high quality protein with very low lactose. It won't upset your stomach and contains 130calories. These proteins have been designed to maximize muscle support after a workout and stick with you for 4 hours too. MaxPRO is by far the best choice to improve muscle recovery after a hard workout.

Why is this such a good combination of proteins?
1) Pure whey Isolate, like IsoXtreme, has the fastest absorption rate of any protein. It is perfect for post workout because the amino acids go directly into the muscle. It has the highest percentage of branch chains (26%) and also contains hydrolized whey peptides. All this means the quickest absorption with a fantastic amino acid profile for muscle recovery and repair.
2) High 5 is a multisourced protein including Whey isolate, whey concentrate, soy, egg and casein. This combination of proteins act as a timed released amino acid profile in our blood stream to elevate nitrogen over a 4 hour period. It is perfect first thing in the morning, before bed or any time of day.
3) These two products are the perfect one two punch for maximum muscle support whether you are a competitive athlete or just a normal Jane or Joe trying to lose some body fat and be healthier.

Danger !!!! Please read this.
Don't take supplements that may cause you harm to you over the long term. Protect your liver. Why sacrifice your health for a short term gain?
 
I want to point out some potentially harmful ingredients that have been showing up in supplemenents recently. At a minimum, these substances may be harmful to your liver, causing inflammation and damage. Our liver is somewhat like an oil filter and cleans and removes toxins from our blood stream. Without a proper functioning liver we are in big trouble and would quickly become toxic and die.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WADA - World Anti-Doping Association has added the following substance to the list for 2010. Other major athletic organizations such as the NCAA usually mimic whatever the WADA does in their banned lists. So, taking the following substance would disqualify competitors for the Olympics, Tour De France and many other athletic organizations.
***methylhexaneamine was added in 2010.
Other names for this substance would include:
(geranamine)
(1,3-dimethylamylamine)
(4-methylhexan-2-amine)
(Geranium Extract)
Taking this substance may trigger a positive for amphetamines in drug tests.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also the FDA has been cracking down on ANABOLIC substances over the past year or so. Many recalls have been taking place with "synthetic" type anabolic optimizers. Reasons sited for the ban include shrinkage of the testicles, decreased sperm count, and sterility. Also anabolic steroid use can damage the liver and can cause high cholesterol levels which may increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Ubrupt termination of long term use may cause severe depression.
There are still some companies that continue to restructure a few molecules and say these products are not on the banned list. These "designer steroids" and can be purchased across the counter in some areas. The FDA is working to clean up and eliminate these type products.
Unfortunately, by not complying in spirit and in actions to these new laws as they are enacted, it gives the whole supplement industry a bad name.
Many of the previously available products are now a schedule III felony to possess. Heavy fines and prison terms are in place for these products. Most of these chemicals are being imported from China.
My message. "If it is banned, don't mess with it."
Here are a couple of chemical structures (or designer steroids) I've seen in our market area recently that you should be aware of.
Here are a couple right out of the WADA list.
methandriol; methasterone
boldenone; boldione -- this is an official schedule III drug
(androsta-1, 4-diene-3, 17-dione)
These are also listed on the WADA list under Anabolic Androgenic Steroids.
Sometimes these strings are scrambled up on the label.
