ive loved every flavor ive tried, but i stopped using muscle milk because of the glycocyamine in it.

IM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!!!

i personally like vanilla ream the best, first flavor i've tried and still my fav. avaric is there anything bad with the glycocymine in hte muscle milk?

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.

ah ok, so basically it isn't bad to people who use it regularly. thats some good info, thanks.

you have to sweat to achieve your goals.

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.

C&C was of the hook...

I would like to hear Dan's comments on GAA.

Oh Yeah!

Chocolate.

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.

anyone tried the blueberry one? that would interest me

if it would interest you , go out and try it

It's ok.  I'd give it a 7 or 8.

Orange cream and choc milk are the best tasting protein supp's ever made!!!! i just tried the org cream and it was so gooooood...try it !!! you wont regret

ROOT  BEER  FLOAT   by far man....I am addicted to it!

Nobody mentioned mocha joe?  RTD chocolate milk is good too

I have bananas and cream and pina colada.  Both taste great
 
I want to try mocha joe, has anyone tried that?  Does it taste like coffee? cause i love coffee
 
I will try the orange soon too.

I've tried Mocha Joe and it is now one of my fav's. I wish i could find it localy cause its very good.

mocha joe is extremely good...do the powder over the rtd's anytime you can...the amount of heat that the RTD's are exposed to actually will degrade the protein..so by all means use the powder! and yes it does have a coffee taste.." so its got that goin for it....which is nice '' - Bill Murray lol

I agree mochajoe is good, but if you're a coffee connoisseur, don't get your hopes up!

However, I have to say the one flavor I think that is sub-par for MM is strawberry.  What's up with that?  All the others I've tried have been quite tasty.
