I have been a regular user of muscle milk light for my protein shake purposes, as part of my workouts.

Today I took a urine drug test for my new job which I have to join soon.

Will my consumption of muscle milk powder (which I bought from GNC) have any impact on my drug test? I am hoping there is nothing adverse

I would call the manufacturer and ask what their experience is with it. From what I understand, this stuff is widely used by athletes that are drug test regularly - olympics included - so I imagine it's pretty clean.

I am planning to call Cytosport today. They are the manufacturers. My gut feeling is that anything publicly sold in GNC is a legal product and should not make me fail an employment drug test.

Health experts, if anyone has any thoughts, please chime in. I am anxiously awaiting my drug test results. Thank you.

No it would not. The drug tests administered by most employers usually just check for recreational drugs. Depending on the type of agreement the employer has with the drug testing company, the results of the test will show one of the following:

1. Positive hit for drugs. Then it will list what drug was found in your system.

2. Positive hit for drugs. But will not list what specific drug as it will only say "Positive for drugs". Also, some people are really stupid and try to really flush their system with lots and lots and lots of water before the test, this will cause a positive hit for drugs as well.

3. Negative for drugs. Then you can begin your employment.

If you are taking any supplement from GNC or vitamin etc., it will NOT cause a positive drug test. ONLY DRUGS AND SUPER FLUSHING OF YOUR SYSTEM WILL CAUSE DRUG TEST TO BE POSITIVE.

I know this because I have background in employment and used to grow financial institutions.

And thanks for the tip about the water drinking. I'll keep that in mind for the future. I was actually thinking of ways to generate urine and thought of the option of drinking lots of water, coz I didn't humor the idea of collecting urine naturally, by doing bladder storage since the morning lol.

Actually, pushing fluids will not cause an otherwise negative test to be positive. It can cause a positive test to be read as negative because the amount of drug in the urine falls below the cut-off level the testing company uses to report a positive.

There are tests done on the urine to detect dilution. If the specimen is dilute, the potential employee can be asked to submit another test. If the company does not offer the option of a retest on a less dilute specimen, a drug-free applicant could be denied employment.

See here: http://www.hire-safe.com/Understandi..._Specimens.pdf

So, do not use illegal drugs. If you must take a urine drug screen test, do not water load ahead of time. Be sure you know the protocol the company uses for testing.

OP: Muscle Milk contains protein and carbs from milk. I would not expect it to cause any problems with urine testing for a job or for athletic competition. Some supplements can contain or be contaminated with legal substances that are prohibited for athletes. Be very careful and check with the governing body of your sport before using a supplement.

I have a daughter who is a college athlete. Best bet is to check with the training staff at your son's college. My daughter's college sent her list of substances including supplements to avoid prior to testing her freshman year.

Also keep in mind once on campus and in season for their sport athletes can be randomly spot tested at any time, has happened to my daughter a few times.....
