High-protein gainer

Among the supplements recommended for muscle mass growth, gainers are very often mentioned. Why do we need these nutrients? When to use them? Which gainers to choose? Let's find out.

What are gainers used for?

Gainеrs are high-energy nutrients consisting of carbohydrates and protein. Their task is to support body mass building. Gainers usually indicate the percentage of protein in their names. If we have a gainer 30%, it means it contains 30% protein and about 70% carbohydrates.

Gainеrs for mass, containing at least 30% protein, are intended for people who want to gain weight and get the necessary amount of protein. Some people have problems with this, despite proper training and balanced nutrition. A significant amount of carbohydrates in gainers provides a powerful dose of energy that turns into body mass.

Which gainer to choose?

When choosing a gainer, you should be guided by the percentage of main ingredients indicated. The less protein, the more carbohydrates, which will provide more energy.

It is also important to pay attention to the quality of the protein contained in the gainer and the type of carbohydrates. In the case of protein, it is best if it is whey protein concentrate. Soy protein (wheat protein) should be avoided.

The type of carbohydrates in the gainer is also important. A good gainer should contain maltodextrin and wheat or corn starch. They should be carbohydrates with different degrees of absorption. Adding glucose or fructose is not a very good solution. An additional advantage of quality gainers will be the addition of BCAA, creatine, taurine.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the most important advantages of using high-protein gainers:

• faster muscle mass gain,
• increased energy during workouts,
• faster recovery after training.
