Recovery, protein, muscle, etc.

You can get a good quality whey protein from Costco that won't break the budget and is safe. Mix it with milk before and after workouts (or do the whole shake thing with fruit, etc) This is a good place to start. If you go the vitamin shop or other places they have NCAA approved stuff that is more expensive but is sure to not have any other stuff in it.

NCAA also has a website, but I don't remember where it is.

Drug free sport is the agency that tests for NCAA.


Muscle Milk is approved for college and for MLB and it is a pretty good supplement.

NCAA has a list of banned substances onits site.

My son used oneresult site.it lists only supplements that are approved by NCAA.

Minor league wants you to use only supplements that have NSF stamp.This means they have been tested to show they have no illegal substances.

Again Muscle Milk has this stamp.Most of cytosport does.

Clarification here: Muscle Milk sells two different products. One is NCAA approved and one is not. Maybe they did away with the non-approved one? Make sure..

Chocolate milk after a workout has proven to be a viable subsitution as well and it's cheap!

There's always GOMAD.

I want to clear up the issue about Muscle Milk. There are two different versions that they make. One is the flagship product "Muscle Milk" and the other is "Muscle Milk Collegiate". Both of them are perfectly ok for any NCAA athlete to take. Taking the original Muscle Milk will not give a positive drug test.

The difference between the two products is the ratio of carbohydrates to protein. There are certain restrictions that the NCAA places on what schools can provide to student-athletes. Schools aren't able to provide supplements that have a high carbohydrate to protein ratio. The original Muscle Milk doesn't fall in the acceptable ratio, so NCAA schools can't provide it to student-athletes. That is why they created the Collegiate version. They changed the ratio and it falls into the acceptable range so now schools can still buy Muscle Milk products and not break any NCAA rules.

So, both of them are 100% fine to take and will not cause a positive drug test, but NCAA schools are only allowed to provide the Collegiate version.

2013 PArent,

I sent you a PM. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck.

Stay away from muscle milk, too much fat.
Stick with some whey from ON. Simple.
