| | Description | THE BIGGER PICTURE OF LEAN GAINERSDon't judge a gainer based solely upon its calories per serving. Because when it comes to gaining lean mass, not all calories are created equally. Unlike typical weight-gain formulas that are loaded with simple sugars and fat, Pro Complex Gainer derives a much higher percentage of its calories from protein-7 premium protein sources to be exact. By also supplying complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), digestive enzymes, vitamins, essential minerals, and great taste as well, we've created the ideal lean gainer. Pro Complex Gainer was made with quality, not quantity, in mind. Because we understand that you want to get big, not fat. THE INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE UP THE MASS:High-Quality Proteins: Pro Complex Gainer is comprised of high biological value proteins, which means they are easily digested and absorbed so they provide a full complement of amino acids to support the rebuilding process. Each serving of Pro Complex Gainer provides a 60-gram dose of premium muscle-building protein made from 7 unique sources. Complex Carbohydrates & Lipids: Carbohydrates and lipids (fats and oils) provide sustained energy that help prevent proteins from being burned as fuel. Each serving of Pro Complex Gainer provides 85 grams of carbohydrates and 4-5 grams of fiber with only 5-6 grams of sugar. In addition Pro Complex Gainer supplies medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and other energy-dense lipids. Micronutrients: Various vitamins and essential minerals are utilized during the growth process. Without these micronutrients your body cannot effectively process proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. Each serving of Pro Complex Gainer provides 25 vitamins and essential minerals. Calories: To gain just one extra pound, you need to consume approximately 3,500 calories-above and beyond what you normally consume through foods, beverages, and supplements. Pro Complex ... | |

 Great amount of carbs, protein, vitamins, and taste ... low sodium and cholesterol Mar 24, 2010
By Doug
After much research, several years ago I started using this muscle-gainer and have enjoyed it ever since. To me it is almost the perfect work-out / weight-lifting / energy / muscle-gaining drink. It has a great amount/ratio of carbs (85g ... only 5g in sugars), protein (60g .. several types), vitamins/minerals (usually only 20%-35% RDA ... some drinks put in 100% in many areas but I want to use a multi-vitamin, GNC Mega Men, instead), and taste (I have enjoyed my favorite banana, strawberry, and vanilla). It also has low sodium (15% RDA) and cholesterol (20% RDA) relative to many other drinks I saw, which are quite high in these areas ... beware. I don't drink it every day, just usually about half a serving before a workout and half after. That gives me enough carbs/energy to enjoy the workout and then protein after for good/reasonable muscle growth, all the while staying low in body-fat. It easily mixes with lowfat milk or soy milk, and tastes good with both. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

High quality calorie gainer / meal replacement Sep 04, 2011
By F. RADDATZ
"RADDFM"
As an amateur/hobby bodybuilder, this single product has become a staple in my diet over the past 3 years. When I started getting serious about lifting again out of college, I had dropped to 145lbs from my previous high of 175lbs. My metabolism is fast, and I simply had trouble keeping up for a number of reasons: time, money, and the difficulty eating the calories I needed in solid foods. I then found this product, which has helped all three of those issues.
VALUE - At approximately $2.25 a serving (when using subscribe and save), this is one of the cheapest quality 650 calorie meals you can provide your body with. I found this to be much more cost effective than trying to put together my own meal. Thanks to Amazon's subscribe and save, the prices compete with the other bigger online supplement retailers and I don't have to worry about re-ordering.
PERFORMANCE - I can drink an entire serving in 2-5 minutes without feeling bloated/sick (taste ranges from acceptable to good - banana cream and vanilla are must tries). I have one serving every morning, and one at some point after my workout and before bed. This accounts for 1300 of my 3500 daily calorie intake. For me, without the aid of liquid weight gainers - it would be impossible to achieve my calorie goals and gain lean mass. I especially would struggle in the morning -- I often don't have time to prepare a good meal, and have trouble eating too many solid foods first thing in the morning. Also - understand that while 60 grams of protein a serving may seem like too much, this is not 60 grams of pure whey protein that is metabolized very quickly. It is packed with 7 sources of protein (faster and slower metabolized proteins) so it takes several hours for your body to metabolize the protein.
RESULTS - When used with a high quality, high calorie diet and proper lifting routine - this product can help you achieve your daily calorie requirements and consequently gains in lean mass. I have used this product to raise my weight from 145lbs to 187lbs while keeping body fat under 8%. Highly recommend this product over cheaper gainers with more sugars/poorer quality calories.
FYI - If you have the time, I recommend following the blending instructions provided. However, if you are short on time - a shaker bottle is best. The blender mixes the product so well, that it will take you 2-3x longer to drink since the volume of product is increased just due to being "frothy" from the blender. While the blender taste cannot be beat (and less water can be used to get good mixing results), a high quality shaker bottle does work well for this stuff as well with 20-40 seconds of shaking and the correct amount of water. You sacrifice taste for a shake that takes less time to drink.

Quality Ingredients = Better Growth Feb 06, 2011
By Tim
This product is great if you're looking for a quality, easily-mixed, easily-digestable weight gainer. I've been lifting seriously for ten years and have used a number of products. This gainer is the best I have used thus far for a number of reasons.
1) It mixes easily in a shaker cup. Fully dissolves in less than two minutes and has the consistency of low-fat milk when mixed with water, making it easy to drink throughout the day. It tastes good, too.
2) Protein is of much higher quality than those found in other gainers. Better bio-availability makes a huge difference for growth and recovery. Whey isolate is the primary source. Albumen, casein, and whey hydrolysates give you both fast-absorption and a sustained release of amino acids for pre/post-workout and before bed.
3) Good blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Roughly 20-30% of your recommended daily intake per serving, which allows you to take a daily multi-vitamin if you want.
4) Easy to digest!! Other gainers and even simple protein supplements have caused me serious digestive issues and bloating. Not the case with this product. Enzymes help break-down protein sources for easy digestion. Maltodextrin, the primary carb source, is also very easy to digest.
5) Allows room for food!! Other gainers sit like a brick in your stomach for hours, making it nearly impossible to eat full meals of solid food. With this, you could easily drink a full serving right before you eat and still be hungry.
Post-workout, I combine a half serving of Pro Complex Gainer and a full scoop of Hydro Whey, which is another GREAT product from ON. Also, you can take half servings of this product if you intend to cut calories.

good stuff Nov 15, 2007
By A. Michaels
"MSU marathoner"
Tastes good, adds lean weight quick. Can't ask for much more. Only downside is the 5lb bag/container is only 14 servings so it can get a bit pricey if you use it every day
