Muscle milk danger
There are a lot of different minds on muscle milk effects on the body
of a person. This topic is still very hot. Many people are willing to
get to know whether this supplement can cause any danger while taking
it.
Many specialists believe that the biggest problem of Muscle milk is
that it contains the potentially dangerous chemical agent named
glycocyamine. One of the problems of this substance is that there are
facts that glycocyamine increases blood levels of homocysteine in the
body of human. There a lot of studies claiming that homocysteinein
entails raise of the cardiovascular disease risk. This means that the
person becomes more predisposed to heart disease/atherosclerosis
because of high levels of homocysteine.
In order to minimize potentially dangerous side effect of
glycocyamine, Muscle Milk contains a substance that reduces homocysteine levels –
betaine. Although betaine is probably quite effective under natural
conditions, no one knows how it will work when level of homocysteine
is increased artificially with the help of other substance. Effective
dose for a bodybuilder in this case is about 10g of betaine a day, but
the highest dose of most products will only give you 2g. (and that’s
just from the companies that actually report their betaine
concentration).
Another side effect of glycocyamine is inhibition of a brain enzyme
named the sodium pump. It is responsible for every single nerve signal
in our body. It is very important for our organism as it exists not
only in nerve cells, but in all cells in the body. This means that
glycocyamine has the potential to disrupt the proper functioning of
every cell.
