Product Information Why buy Progain? - Suitable for hardgainers
- Added MCTs
Progain is one of Britains best selling weight gainer. It's advanced technology has made it staple diet for many top athletes, bodybuilders, and sports stars alike, from beginners to advanced.
Unlike other weight gainers, which load up the calories with proteins that cause side effects, such as egg, milk, casein, and soya. Progain contains that same exclusive BIOMAX protein as used in Promax. So you won't suffer from wind and stomach upset etc...
To ensure that the weight you gain is lean muscle and not fat, we avoid simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs raise blood sugar levels, causing excessive insulin release, which results in fat storage.
We only use low glycemic maltodextrin, this provides sustained energy release and is the least likely to turn to fat.
Fats are an essential part of any weight gainer, but it's vital, that the correct fats are used. So we only use MCTs, a unique fat that provides 9 calories per gram, yet the body treats as a carbohydrate, resulting a a minimum fat storage.
To make the weight gainer complete, we've also added an excellent multi-vitamin and mineral blend to offer all round nutrition. If you've used other weight gainers, you'll be amazed at how well Progain mixes. You don't need milk with Progain, it mixes with water with a few stirs of a fork, no blenders needed....and once you've tasted it, you'll be blown away. It's no wonder it's been voted the best tasting weight gainer for the last three years running! Nutritional Information Amount per serving:
