Mass Gainer strawberry flavour

We standardize all our recovery products on the basis of around 23 g of protein per intake. This is recognized as the optimal standard dose for rapid absorption in sports nutrition. There is therefore no major difference in protein intake between our protein products. The difference lies in the carbohydrate content and the product formula. Whey is a solution for recovery and optimizing the effects of training. In addition to the 23g of protein it contains, the classic range is composed of a minimum of carbohydrates, necessary for optimal metabolic assimilation of proteins at muscle fiber level, and for a slight glycogen depletion. It is therefore suitable for recovery from low- to medium-intensity efforts, or for strength events, without any specific quest for mass gain.

Pro Recovery, on the other hand, supplements this protein intake with a larger quantity of rapidly assimilated carbohydrates (around 50 g). It is formulated to help the body recover after very intense efforts, which have resulted in high glycogen depletion.

The Pro Recovery is therefore best suited to occasional use in an endurance context (post-match, post-run, especially intense post-training sessions...).

Finally, the Mass Gainer is another notch higher in terms of carbohydrates, still for the same protein intake.

It provides the body with nearly 70g of carbohydrates per intake. These nutrients are mainly provided by organic manioc maltodextrin, which enables a different assimilation and glycemic index (GI) from other maltodextrins, smoother and more continuous than with other more conventional carbohydrate sources. Mass Gainer is ideal for people who want to combine muscle recovery and muscle gain in a healthy way.

As a matter of principle, we recommend taking only one dose of protein supplements per day. The aim is not to exceed real protein requirements, and also not to replace traditional dietary intakes with food supplements. 

That said, depending on your level of training and as long as the recommended protein intake for your goal and training level is not exceeded, you can take the gainer as a snack, for example in the morning, and the whey or Pro Recovery after a session. 

These two intakes should be taken at a distance from each other, with whey or Pro Recovery being preferred for direct post-exertion.

It's true that the gainer is richer than the whey, so it will be a little thicker than the whey. However, we still don't use any thickening or texturizing agents, so the mixture is very watery and light when reconstituted in water. 

As with all our products, and with health and performance in mind, we have sought to formulate a product that is as light as possible from the outset, with simple reconstitution in water, to facilitate daily absorption and digestion. As with wheys, if you want a more indulgent product, you can use classic or plant-based milk in the shaker before adding the dose of gainer. The tastes are the same as for whey, just as light and non-chemical.

In mass gain (muscle gain), and in bodybuilding in general, it's important to bear in mind that it's the total calories consumed over the course of the day, as well as the total amount of protein, that will be most important (rather than the precise timing of supplement intake). Although it's often recommended to take protein post-workout, the impact of the timing of intake on muscle development will ultimately be very minimal in this case. In fact, if your lifestyle dictates that the gainer is best taken at breakfast, or as a morning or afternoon snack, there's no reason not to choose that time.

It is especially important NOT to take it just before a meal. Indeed, since it's a large volume, with lots of carbohydrates, proteins and calories, it would have too great an appetite-suppressant effect. This effect would be counter-productive, since it would lead to a reduction in the intake of conventional food, which must of course remain the basis and main intake.

In short, use gainer as a dessert or snack. Avoid taking it before a meal.
