Leading scientists assessing the true role of fats in increasing lean muscle growth have shown that not all fats are created equal. The type of fat determines whether you use it for muscle energy or store it as body fat. The lean lipids used in Cytosport Muscle Milk promote fat loss in three ways:
* Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the predigested “fast burning fats”, are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. 20% of Muscle Milk lipids are MCTs.
* Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. Special enzyme engineering makes these lipids even more functional and enhanced mineral retention.
* Recent research reveals calories with engineered lipids taken before and during workouts promote leanness. It is thought that these calories are used for workout energy, with less deposited as fat.
So, while Muscle Milk may contain slightly more fat than low-fat high-carb products, our Lean Lipids™ are designed to help you get leaner.
