Muscle milk in now one of the most popular supplements for athletes.
Much is said about the benefits of it but at the same time there are
some studies showing some side effects of Muscle milk.
First of all the person planning to take this supplement should
consult the doctor if the person has a chronic medical condition as
supplements are quite powerful substances that can have a strong
effect on the body and its health. People with chronic medical
conditions also need to pay close attention to balance. For some
chronic medical conditions, Muscle Milk can be even a valuable part of
a daily wellness plan.
Another side effect of
Muscle milk is that it
contains glycocyamine. It is considered to be a the potentially
dangerous chemical agent. One of the problems of this chemical is that
glycocyamine is known to increase 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.
Another side effect of glycocyamine is inhibition of a brain enzyme
named the sodium pump. It is responsible for all nerve signals 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.
