Hey everyone. I have been lifting weights for about two years and I just started using muscle milk about a month ago. I drink it immediately after working out. Does it contain either HGH, creatine, or any other harmful long-term substances? I use "muscle milk light. vanilla creame". I buy it from target, and it comes already in liquid form. The only thing I have to do is refrigerate it. Also, after a heavy lifting workout, is it good to drink muscle milk immediately after working out or what? Thanks in advance.
No it does not not contain HGH since that is considered a hormone/steroid and is illegal to be sold in stores. Creatine is not a harmful substance and has no negative side effects. Creatine is found in meats like steak. I am not sure if muscle milk has creatine in it, you should look on the nutrition label and it will tell you.
Muscle milk is not the greatest protein to take since it has A LOT of sugar which is bad for you. That is why it tastes so good. Yes the best time to take muscle milk is immediately after working out.

it immediately goes into the blood stream so it works right away all my friend are body builders at work they tell me all of this the muscle milk is good but its something that needs to be taken early on so that is can process in your body the shots are expensive but there perfect for post workout by the way another of my friends stopped taking protein drinks all together reason is he went a few months on a protein diet and didn’t gain a pound or any increase in strength but he is already a big dude hope that partially answers your question

Muscle milk light does not contain either.
HGH cannot be used in any foods or supplements. And you can only get HGH legally with a physician’s prescription. Regular Muscle milk had the precursor for creatine, but muscle milk light does not because the precursor glycocyamine contributed to the calories of the original and its removal lowered the fat/calories so they can make it "light".
Drinking it after is right.
