lookin for user feedback. results/taste.
Also 40g sugars? too much?

I haven't personally used it, but 40 grams of sugar I guess isn't to bad, it depends. There are cleaner mass gainers out there in terms of sugar, but the sugar will add calories to. I guess it depends on what you feel comfortable with. If your looking to mass up though I don't think it could hurt to much.

imo i would go with the pro complex gainer, its a much better overall weight gainer its only got 6g of sugar thats your best bet its got whey for fast acting protein and casein for slow acting proteins thats your best bet

[brandon615]

Thanks man. I was lookin for somethin high in calories and came across this. I will look into it tho

I think you would be better off making your own gainer. All you really need is a blender, whey/casein, oats, and milk. other options include fruit, PB, cottage cheese, nuts, and yogurt.

This would be better nutritionally and you would be able to adjust the macros to fit your needs.

yea just check into it its not always about the calories cause usually in high calorie shakes like that its bad calories, pro complex gainer is they way to go

I have already finished 2 12lbs bags. In that period i have gained about 20 pounds. Now i cant say all of this comes from eating protein, but normally i do have hard time putting on the pounds. The taste is alright... i am thinking about vanilla next. Adding milk makes it clump up pretty bad, but it is more shake like. The scoop is ridiculous. I usually take 1 scoop in the morning and 1 after working out. While the price of the 12 pound bag is cheap, it goes real quick. there is only like 13 servings (2 scoops per serving). That the only bad part i can say. I currently live in a dorm so i dont have a blender. but i recommended getting whey protein and adding oatmeal and pb. itll be cheaper in the long run. good luck with it

From standard gainers... my opinion is that Optimum Nutrition's is not a far cry from your standard maltodextrin/whey combo. You're talking about a micronutritionally devoid sugar compared to a micronutritionally devoid ALMOST a sugar. I had a bag of the chocolate, it tasted decent but nothing great.

[Gtarzan81]

I bought some today. Chocolate. Cost me $26
Put 1 serving(2 scoops) in the blender, with milk and some peanut butter.The taste was really good.

I'll try out a bag of 2 and see where it gets me. I have a very hard time putting on the pounds.

This is the way to go...much cheaper!!

If you look at any of the gainers out there, the amount of servings you get is really small. So, they are not cheap at all

[pistonpump]

i used the chocolate once.

youll need to start out with half a serving (1scoop) a full serving is alot to start with trust me.

Definately use a blender. Its been awhile but i think i would use half milk half water and add Peanut butter, sometimes other stuff. It puts on the pounds and for the amount you are taking in 40g of sugar isnt much compared to other gainers. I think its a good buy but a cheaper solution is like what others said....a homemade gainer, but if youre lazy then this stuff would be my pick. Good price imo and full of vitamins.

Its a toss up between cytogainer, ON serious mass, and ON pro complex gainer. (all vanilla)

Suggestions?

I'd rate them in that exact order actually, from top to bottom. Profile stance... I really have a jaded look on gainer products, and the profiles look very similar to me; I tend to disregard portions of profiles in terms of how important they are. Cytogainer tasted good/decent price, SM is a good price and ok taste, Pro Complex Gainer fails to impress me on the price to benefit.

ive tried all three and cytogainer seems like the "healthiest" but ON serious mass gave the most weight gain for what you pay. the complex gainer is just not worth it imo.

[psychobabble]

i had bad expirence w/ ON serious mass .. best thing to do is .. take 1/2 at once then another 1/2 later ..worked better .. i tried drinkin 1 serving at once .. and jus had stomach problems. do you have a vitamin shoppe retailer near u ?
