Muscle Milk Collegiate is a nutritional shake made for athletes and body builders of college age and is designed like all Muscle Milk products, around human mother's milk. It is full of ingredients that help during the workout and in muscle recovery after the workout. It provides lean muscle growth and aids with maintenance.
In basic terms, it's designed for college aged athletes as a source of proteins, complex carbohydrates, and fats for that particular age group and metabolism. As mentioned, its formula helps increase lean body mass by delivering oxygen to the muscles being exercised, and reduces the risk of injury from nutrient deficiency.
It is in fact the first athletic nutrition product specifically designed for collegiate athletes who notoriously skip meals or don't eat as healthy as older individuals. Ideally it should not be used as a meal replacement, but users of it regularly do so. It is a well known fact that a nutritional balanced diet that includes all the food groups is the best approach to healthy living. Muscle Milk collegiate just gives that important extra nutritional boost.
Also contained in the formula are buttermilk, natural and artificial flavorings, whey concentrates, peptides, hydrolyzed wheat protein and amino acids. The combination of quality carbohydrates, fats and proteins increases the length of long workouts and also helps muscle recovery.
There are two types of Muscle Milk Collegiate: the powder and the ready to drink type. The powder is available in various flavors. Such as, vanilla cream, chocolate milk, strawberry milkshake, cookies-n-cream and chocolate mint flavor. The ready to drink Muscle Milk Collegiate only is found in chocolate milk and vanilla cream flavor. Both types are very smooth in texture and taste just like a regular milkshake.
When should Muscle Milk collegiate be taken?
The best option is to take it before and after workouts. One serving should be taken about 45 minutes to an hour prior to training, as it provides the necessary caloric intakes required for the duration of an intense workout. Immediately after the workout, it should be consumed again as it shifts the body from the catabolic to an anabolic state to provide the necessary kick start for the recovery process.
Muscle Milk Collegiate was developed along the unique guidelines of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a nutritional supplement and conforms to the standards set by The Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports. Having this level of endorsement makes it the choice product of hundreds of fitness professionals and college athletes.
