Muscle Milk Genuine Protein Powder

Checked against public sources on August 2, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.

Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. H.P. Hood, LLC recalled a different product on June 9, 2016. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Muscle Milk 14 oz, 25 g protein. Vanilla Creme UPC (case): 8-76063-00222-6; UPC (unit): 8-76063-00202-8”. …

CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

We can see 64 of this product’s 962 reviews — the count rose between July 3, 2025 and August 1, 2026. That is too small a slice to say anything about the wider pattern.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 898 to 962 between July 3, 2025 and August 1, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 16, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Research behind the findings

Dose and research context

We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.

Background reading

What the research says about these amounts

Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.

The panel lists 210 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits inside that range.

0studied 200 mg–420 mg

Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.

The panel lists 6 g of prebiotic fiber (inulin-type) per serving. Studies we found used 3 g–10 g a day, so this sits inside that range.

0studied 3 g–10 g
