Review on Muscle Milk Protein Powder Vanilla by Tiara Andrews

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is not the same as Cytosport 100% Whey

Muscle Milk told me it was the same as Cytosport 100% Whey Protein which is normally sold in large 6 lb bags at Costco and is no longer made. The same thing. The muscle milk product is no longer hydrolyzed or micronized like Costco Cytosport. You may recall that the Cytosport serum was an extremely fine textured powder that was very easy to mix. Although it is a much fluffier powder that blends very clumpily and no longer has the very fine powdery texture that the Cytosport serum had. What happened is they stopped hydrolyzing/micronizing the whey and instead added a lot more soy lecithin to the whey. Instead of. Then they had the audacity to raise their prices for a lower quality product. Keep in mind that the Cytosport serum is $40 for £6. Sold in store. Meanwhile, this product costs $55 for £5. For an inferior, cheap product that stopped micronizing whey and added more soy lecithin instead. The soy lecithin and acefulsam potassium in the product cause acne. The taste of the serum is much coarser, with a more chemical taste than the old Cytosport serum. Reduced quality, no longer sold unassembled, reduced the size from 6lbs to 5lbs, but still the price INCREASED. I needed that old Cytosport I was used to and was willing to pay extra for it. because it is well digested and absorbed. But not like this. This is a harmful, dangerous product. The company claims no changes have been made to the formula or quality. I've been buying Cytosport 100% serum in 6lb packs for literally 5 years running. I used 2 scoops every day. Went through my pocket in a month. It was obvious what happened as soon as I tried this product and the reformulated Cytosport product that replaced the enzymes with probiotics. Suddenly as soon as the texture of the product changes I now get bloated after using it. Then I wake up the next day looking bloated, red and with pimples. No change in my diet or other supplements except the whey suddenly became a different texture with a chemical taste and smell. It's pretty obvious what's going on. Cytosport 100% serum was a very stable product from 2015 to April 2018. They closed Cytosport Serum and switched to 100% muscle serum sometime in mid-2018. This 100% serum has the same list of ingredients as the Cytosport serum, but not the same quality. It's unfortunate and also crazy that they decided to lower the quality and portions of this product while increasing the price.
