MASS GAINERS – GOOD OR BAD

Firstly, current mass gainers have made a poor choice in their source of carbohydrates. Mostly all use simple carbs such as Maltodextrin. While Maltodextrin is great if you want to increase weight, they are bad for muscles in the long run. When you eat Maltodextrin rich mass gainers, your body gets a quick boost of energy for a short period of time. The body cannot deal with this sudden rush of energy and stores the carbs as fat. Hence, I recommend using complex carbs instead of simple carbs because they release energy slowly in your blood. This slow release allows for muscle building and not fat gain.

  1. MASS GAINERS – GOOD OR BAD A lot of people have asked me whether they should take a Mass Gainer to gain muscle mass. While their initial instinct is correct, mass gainers that are currently in the market fall short in delivering this goal. Mass gainers are designed to offer a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and calories that will help you gain muscles. Now each product in the market combines the three in different ratios and also uses ingredients of varying quality. Having said that all mass gainers will help you reach your goal of muscle gain but some will do it better than the others. Let me explain how. Firstly, current mass gainers have made a poor choice in their source of carbohydrates. Mostly all use simple carbs such as Maltodextrin. While Maltodextrin is great if you want to increase weight, they are bad for muscles in the long run. When you eat Maltodextrin rich mass gainers, your body gets a quick boost of energy for a short period of time. The body cannot deal with this sudden rush of energy and stores the carbs as fat. Hence, I recommend using complex carbs instead of simple carbs because they release energy slowly in your blood. This slow release allows for muscle building and not fat gain. Secondly, research suggests that you should consume 500 calories per meal for optimal muscle gain. 500 calories is the maximum human body can digest in one go. Beyond 500 calories, all calories are stored as fat. Most products in the market provide more than 500 calories and are hence not ideal for muscle building. Finally, an ideal mass gainer should offer protein and carbohydrates in a 1:1 ratio. Most mass gainers, however, fail to provide protein and carbs in this ratio. This ratio is optimal for muscle gain as it allows for quick and easy absorption of protein and carbs by the muscles. Given these shortcomings in the market, I recommend using Muscle Essentials Superior Mass. It is designed to offer protein and carbohydrates in a 1:1 ratio (50 grams each). The choice of carbs is oat powder, which is a source of complex carbs, and each serving offers 500 calories. Superior Mass hence becomes an obvious choice as it tackles all three problems.
