Active Ingredients
Complex Carbohydrate Blend
Although all of the carbohydrate sources in this blend are technically complex carbohydrates, the main ones are very quick-releasing and can be treated almost the same as sugars. This includes the glucose polymers and dextrin.
The other carbohydrates are excellent complex carbohydrates from natural sources, however these are included in much smaller quantities.
Protein Blend
Kanga Milk contains multiple forms of milk proteins, which absorb at different rates.
Both whey (fast-digesting) and miscellar casein (slow-digesting) are included, which are both excellent for muscular growth and repair (1, 2).
Healthy Fats
Cocnut oil is high in medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs.
MCTs have been shown to blunt hunger and promote fat-burning (3).
The formula also contains flax seed oil, another healthy fat source.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is one of the best-studied supplements in history.
It’s been shown to reliably improve power output and endurance (4).
Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes help with the breakdown of food, in this case milk sugars and proteins.
Who Takes It?
Athletes wanting a high-calorie protein supplement for gaining weight may enjoy using Kanga Milk.
How to Take
Mix 2 scoops (about 225g) with milk or water, and consume either post-workout or as desired.
Side Effects
Some of the carbohydrates used in this formula may strongly spike insulin levels, and are not recommended for diabetics.
Excess protein consumption could worsen an existing kidney or liver condition.
Pros
- 52g of protein in each serving
- Huge amount of calories for assisting weight gain
- Healthy fats included
- Extras such as creatine, enzymes, and BCAAs added.
Cons
- The main carbohydrate sources act like sugars (fast-releasing, insulin-spiking)
- Only 12 servings per tub.
Conclusion
Kanga Milk would be an excellent mass-gainer, if not for the quick-releasing “complex” carbohydrates used. These are predominantly from cheap sources, and will massively spike insulin, possibly resulting in excess stress to your body and fat gain.
Aside from this, it contains effective proteins and healthy fats, as well as smaller amounts of truly healthy carbohydrates.
It also includes great extras such as creatine, BCAAs, glutamine, and digestive enzymes for additional benefits.
It’s only available in small tubs, which yield 12 servings each.
