here you go, taken from bb.com
In addition, GAA carries an added risk when compared to creatine. The conversion of GAA to creatine via GAMT requires the presence of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is the methyl donor in virtually all known biological methylation reactions. The amount of SAMe normally used for endogenous creatine biosynthesis is greater than the amount used for all other methylation reactions combined. When this reaction takes place, homocysteine is produced as one of the end products. Increased blood concentrations of homocysteine have been associated with an increased risk for developing vascular disease. Rats on a GAA supplemented diet have blood homocysteine concentrations 49% higher than control levels. On the other hand, creatine supplementation was associated with a 27% decrease in homocysteine. This is because creatine supplementation downregulates GAA biosynthesis, thus decreasing methylation demand. Although there may be ways of reducing this negative effect (such as inclusion of betaine), it seems much more practical to just supplement with creatine. [3]
If glycocyamine does get past the liver intact, the effects will probably not be desirable. The fact that it competitively inhibits creatine transport is not the only reason. Glycocyamine is also transported across the blood brain barrier (BBB). This may be associated with a variety of negative effects, and the most well-known property of GAA in the brain is as a convulsant [1, 5-7]. GAA increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain [1]. Other mechanisms of neurotoxicity include inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase, decreased membrane fluidity, and interaction with the GABA-A receptor [8-9]. It is unknown whether these effects are relevant at doses used for supplementation, but it seems unlikely. They primarily become a problem in GAMT deficiency, which results in both elevated brain GAA and creatine deficiency. Still, those with a history of epilepsy should definitely stay away from glycocyamine.
Not all of the effects of glycocyamine supplementation are necessarily negative. It has been investigated as an antidiabetic, and improves glucose disposal in a mouse model of diabetes [10]. However, given the bulk of the information, creatine alone still seems to be the best choice. Still, those that regularly use cell volumizing supplements can rest easy, as the inclusion of glycocyamine in many formulas probably does not cause any significant decrease in effectiveness or safety, since most or all of it is converted to creatine in the liver.

I have chocolate milk, chcolate mint chip, chocolate peanutbutter and cookies and cream and mix them up in different ratios to make a different flavor each time for changs, my favorite is mixing 1 scoop of chocolate milk with 1/3 scoop each of all the others, makes for a great flavor.

I thought that the root beer float flavor was pretty good. I haven't tried other flavors yet.

Avaric3, please don't de-rail this thread into a debate over 'glycocyamine.' There are plenty of other threads on that.
Onwards! Has anybody tried the Muscle Milk Light yet? If so, please post your experience.

It's ok. I'd give it a 7 or 8.
