The Differences Between Complete Whey, EvoPro, Muscle Milk, CytoGainer

[Madmick]

Cytosport is very popular in here, and there's been some confusion on the difference between their designer powders. Here's a basic breakdown. If you don't know the differences between these whey powder types, check my "Protein Powder Primer" thread. Maltodextrin is a medium-chain carbohydrate powder (corn starch).

In order of composition:

Complete Whey
Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey Protein Hydrolysate

EvoPro
Whey Protein Concentrate
Casein Protein (specifically the best kind: Micellar Membrane Casein)

Muscle Milk
EvoPro
Whey Protein Hydrolysate
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's)
Maltodextrin (almost none)
Added Glutamine

CytoGainer
Maltodextrin
Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey Protein Hydrolysate
Added Glutamine
Creatine


Note: This is also to correct bad information I gave you. CytoGainer does not include MCT's.

thanks mick. is there a good amt of casein in the evopro? i think im gonna buy some of that too. good info.

 

[Madmick]

The EvoPro is the formula they use in the Muscle Milk (they just add thehydrolysates, MCT's and the scant amount of Maltodextrin).

Yes, there is a good amount of casein. There is more casein in EvoPro than whey.

So with MCT's I dont need to eat carbs when Im drinking MM?

Ted-P thats correct, the MCTs will burn as energy so you dont need carbs. I still mix my MM with milk though, hasnt made me fat yet.
