About CytoSport Supplements

Cytosport is one of the world's leading supplementation companies which markets its products toward the world's growing numbers of athletes and professional bodybuilders. The company is based in the northern California town of Benecia, just outside the sprawling metropolis of San Francisco. It is from this base that the father and son team of Greg and Michael Pickett develop and market their exclusive line of protein-boosting products.

And protein is primarily what the company is known for. It markets its own CytoSport line of protein powders, pre-blended protein shakes, and traditional protein bars that can give athletes an immediate boost both before and after their workouts. In 2008, the company began selling their innovative "Muscle Milk" line of products in convenience stores and supermarkets, right alongside traditional energy drinks and sodas. Since then, the company and its Muscle Milk brand have seen astronomic growth both in its native United States as well as around the world.

The Muscle Milk Line of Products

The company's most famous brand -- and the one that consistently sells the best around the world -- is its Muscle Milk line. This line of products is entirely devoted to protein, with powders and bars being supplemented by pre-mixed and over-the-counter Muscle Milk beverages in a wide array of flavours.

While typical industry products only include between 15 and 25 grams of protein per powder shake, CtyoSport's Muscle Milk products boast a whopping 32 grams of protein per shake, meaning their powders are inherently of much greater value than the competition. And they market an exclusive line of "Muscle Milk Naturals" that uses no synthetic additives in the shake. This is partly due to early criticism of their product, which alleged the company was including too many metals in their protein shakes, but it has resulted in one of the best organic protein powders available anywhere.

The Monster Milk Product Line

For the truly serious athlete who needs an entirely different level of protein and other supplementation, the company has developed Monster Milk. Protein powders in this elite category pack a big punch: 50 gams of lean protein per mixed shake. And protein isn't the only offering here, as Monster Milk products also come in amino acid-boosting powders, and a "pump" product that increases energy and blood flow during workouts.

Additionally, the company markets a so-called Monster Mass powder that is geared specifically toward people who are looking to gain muscle mass quickly and without the typical "bulking" or overeating cycles that the sport of bodybuilding often demands.

Final Thoughts

CytoSport is the leading brand worldwide for serious athletes who need more protein with less powder to consume, more mass without overeating, and scientific supplementation that doesn't cut corners. The company's Monster Milk and Muscle Milk lines are complimented by creatine products, amino acid boosters, and other essentials that will keep athletes working out and looking good longer than most -- if not all -- competing brands.
