Clinical Studies
Protein and carbohydrate blends are essential for muscle mass gain and recovery, especially when taken post-workout. A study in The Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that consuming a combination of protein and carbohydrates after exercise enhances muscle protein synthesis and replenishes glycogen stores. Additionally, research in The Journal of Applied Physiology demonstrates that whey protein is particularly effective for stimulating muscle growth and recovery after resistance training.

This is one of the few mass gainers that actually puts thought into the protein matrix.
Tried loads of mass gainers before, and this one finally checks all the boxes. Chocolate flavor tastes great (not too sweet), and it’s not a nightmare to mix no lumps, even with water. I’ve been using it post-workout for a month, and I’m already up 3.5kg.
