Sorry if this is a re-post but.
Checked up on MM and noticed they have a "light" product. Aside from reduced cals it doesn't seem to contain Glycocyamine. Or at least i can't find it in the ingredients. Anyone confirm this?
It seems this maybe Muscle Milk's answer to the Glycocyamine crisis...without actually admitting there is an issue with the chemical.

Evopro, their RTDs, and other Cytosport products never had glyco in it either, it shouldn't have ever been in MM.

Good for them. I'll give this a try because they do have a good flavoring system.

Not bad at all is it just me or does this version NOT have maltodextrin in it?

I was going to try Muscle Milk, it seems a top product, but after the scares i left it alone. But this product has really caught my eye.
No Maltodex in it Sixpack, guess that helps make it "light"
Looks promising and dodgy at the same time. Surely the reason they brought this product out was to appeal to the people who stopped using MM due to the Glycocyamine issues.
It's like solving a crises without admitting fault. Thumbs up for that

Search for the word glycoycamine and you will find plenty of threads on the subject.Originally Posted by futbolplayerHALEO Lead Forum Representative

Guys I'm pretty sure all of the Muscle Milke products have Glycocyamine...for some reason they liek to be totally shady about how they list their ingredients. The Collegiate line is GAA free -- I know that because I had a similar thread about GAA and a Cytosport rep PMed me telling me about the Collegiate line.
For example they don't explicitly list it in Muscle Milk RTD either but then in the product description they talk about their patent pending EndoCreatine:
"Creatine Production: Patent-pending, medically proven EndoCreatine gives you maximum benefits of creatine loading and storage by increasing your body's natural production of creatine."
Sounds like their description of "Creatine GCC" right?
Cytosport is being shady as hell about it...the only Muscle Milk that doesn't have it for sure is the Collegiate version...

I e-mailed Cytosport asking about the formulas of the Muscle Milk's containing Glycocyamine. I also asked if MM Light was coming out in RTD form and here is there answer for those who are concerned about the GAA Content.
Dear Customer,
Glycocyamine is only present in our Muscle Milk powder supplement of our Muscle Milk line. Muscle Milk RTDs, Muscle Milk Light, and Muscle Milk Collegiate do not have Glycocyamine in their formulas. And to answer your second question, Muscle Milk Light RTDs are coming out very soon.

WTF is EndoCreatine then? I'm still switching brands...If Cytosport was smart they would reformulate Muscle Milk so that it is exactly the same as it is now, just without GAA... Everything else they have isn't as good as the real Muscle Milk and doesn't serve the purpose it was originally designed for... There are much better alternatives to RTD, Collegiate, and Light.
