Muscle Monster Protein Shake (AMINO SPIKED?)

Monster Energy Protein Shake Review | AMINO SPIKED?!

Monster Energy has launched a pretty unique Protein Supplement that combines both High Protein and Caffeine. This unique RTD is being called an "Energy Shake", and we have to admit it's a cool concept. Not to mention the Protein Blend looks pretty sweet with both Whey and Casein.

But... We May Have A Problem With Monster Energy Shake

Looking over the label, Monster Protein Energy Shake is sporting both L-Car & Taurine which leads us down the potential dangers of amino spiking! Yes, the notorious amino spiking that we have so many times in the past caught companies doing. Basically the FDA guidelines can be walked around due to their nitrogen testing requirements. Because Protein (amino acids) have a nitrogen byproduct, they measure this amount to decide how much protein is in a product.

Here lies the problem...

Other non essential amino acids that may not contribute to muscle protein synthesis like Taurine can contribute to the total Nitrogen measured. Basically a company could in theory pump it full of Taurine, a cheap amino acid, and that would crank up the total grams of protein listed. So it may say 27g protein per serving, but in reality it could be short on ACTUAL complete muscle building protein by a large margin.

Read more about Protein Spiking here: make this clear though...

We are not accusing Monster Energy of Amino Spiking, rather we are asking the question. The proprietary labeling leaves the possibility open, and we would like Monster to comment for more clarity. We want to believe that a company with as much street credentials as Monster would step up and answer our very fair questions about this protein blend.
