Effectiveness

Like all other gainers, this gainer is needed for the following purposes:

1. Increase in total calorie intake.
2. Muscle mass growth.
3. Acceleration of recovery.
4. Increase in strength endurance.
5. Replacement of regular food when unable to eat.

In addition to the above, it is important to note that this gainer is classified as high-protein. This means that such gainers contain 30% protein or more. Thus, it will primarily contribute to muscle growth rather than fat gain. However, it will also be more expensive than its low-protein counterparts.

How to Take

Here are the basic rules for taking it:

• Regardless of the number of workouts, it is best to take it every day.
• Take it 1-2 times a day (depending on how many calories you want to gain from the gainer). Once in the first half of the day and once in the second half.
• It is better to take it right after training and/or between meals. But not simultaneously with the main meal.
• It is best to mix it with milk. Water can also be used. The amount of liquid is a matter of taste and does not matter.
• You can add creatine, BCAAs, protein, or basically anything else you want to the gainer.
• For results, the duration of intake should be at least one month.
• The maximum duration of intake is without limits. This means you can use it for a lifetime without breaks.

Dosage per intake:

• For weight up to 60 kg: 30-40 grams at a time.
• For weight up to 80 kg: 40-50 grams at a time.
• For weight up to 100 kg: 50-60 grams at a time.
• For weight over 100 kg: 60-70 grams at a time.

Of course, all dosages are quite approximate, and they largely depend on your overall activity, the number of workouts, the number of gainer intakes, how much you are not getting from regular food, etc. You can calculate the exact portion here.

Attention! Do not be swayed by the dosage indicated by the manufacturer. Most manufacturers deliberately inflate it. I think this is done to get you to consume it faster and buy a new one.
