BREAST MILK FOR MUSCLE GAINS?

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Setting risk aside, breast milk may in fact be a good ingredient as it does have some powerful constituents for improved performance, but questions still must be answered. Rather than drop serious bucks trying to find good breast milk, consider several solid alternatives besides the standard dairy-based protein powders you’ve come to know. Powdered colostrum contains specific bioactive peptides that can help improve muscle size, strength, and overall performance. Bonded amino acids and other bioactive peptides boost muscle proteinsynthesis, improve immune function, and are becoming more widely available. In addition, there are new ingredients that focus on mTOR pathway activity, increasing the potential for muscle development. As research continues, the possibilities grow.

Down the road, breast-milk alternatives could be found in primates, our closest kin, who possess similar milk characteristics, and thus a host of monkey-milking farms may be the wave of the future. Until then, train hard, eat right, and use supplements that are verified to be safe.

Got Milk? In addition to protein, regular cow’s milk provides fast-digesting carbs (lactose), making it a good post-workout choice.
