Being on the scrappier side, I've tried to build up my body by consuming more eggs and meat to increase protein intake. This didn't seem to produce any results so I tried a couple different brands of whey protein. My self-assessments aren't exactly scientific so it's hard to measure the effects, but I think it has helped. Having run out of the whey protein, I browsed around and recently purchased Muscle Milk:



Here's the sell:

"Muscle Milk helps grow muscle faster than gainers, whey or even creatine. This increased muscle growth is possible because Muscle Milk is the first product patterned after Nature’s ultimate anabolic food—human mother’s milk. Locked within the composition of human mother’s milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential. We took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into Muscle Milk. Muscle Milk helps you grow muscle like never before."

The concept was interesting so I decided to give it a shot. Tried it today and taste-wise I like it better than whey protein because it has more flavor. After doing more research, though, I realized I shouldn't be taking it so casually. As with most of these supplements it's described as more effective with workouts. And the workouts haven't really been working out for me so it seems I have another challenge ahead.
