Monster Blend Vanilla
CytoSport Monster Series
Overview
Monster Blend Vanilla offers a well-rounded protein matrix with ingredients known to support muscle growth and recovery. The 25g of protein per serving, including a blend of milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate, along with added L-Leucine and protease enzymes, aligns well with research-backed strategies for muscle anabolism. However, the exact ratios of protein sources within the 'Milk Protein Isolate' component are not fully specified, which could impact the precise digestion and absorption profile.
The Good
Optimal Protein Blend for Muscle Growth and Recovery (25g protein from Milk Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Isolate).
Enhanced Muscle Protein Synthesis with 1g Added L-Leucine.
Improved Protein Digestion and Absorption with ProHydrolase® Enzymes (125mg).
The Bad
Contains Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium) which may not be preferred by all consumers and can cause digestive issues in sensitive individuals.
Presence of Milk and Soy Allergens (Milk Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Soy Lecithin).
Contains Xanthan Gum and Silicon Dioxide, which are generally safe but may be considered fillers by some.
