Bodybuilders and other athletes looking for ways to increase muscle mass and gain weight need to increase their caloric intake as part of a sound nutrition program. However, the source of these calories has important ramifications for health and long-term success. True-Mass is one weight gainer that can help you create a balanced workout and diet program to reach your fitness goals. A weight-gaining supplement can lead to increased endurance, sustained energy, and balanced nutrition throughout your training period.

Many people make the mistake of turning to high-protein foods and supplements that also supply empty calories from sugar, fat, and poorly absorbed nutrients. Finding a quality supplement that the body can easily digest and absorb can be difficult, but True-Mass offers a valuable option.

What Are Weight Gainers?

Weight gainers were once a mixture of protein, sugar, and fats; most of them contained a significant amount of calories so that athletes could “bulk up” easily without having to eat large meals. However, these supplements were made with cheap ingredients that were not necessarily absorbed by the body efficiently; today, weight gainers such as True-Mass have a high “biological value” (BV), making it easy for the body to extract from them the quality protein and nutrients it needs during training. Recovery is an important part of this process, and the amino acids in True-Mass enable speedy recovery while encouraging muscle growth.

Why True-Mass?

True-Mass is designed to deliver quality proteins and amino acids that are readily absorbed in the body. The special formula contains a proprietary protein blend of:

• 
  

  Ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate.

  
  


• 
  

  Micellar alpha and beta caseins.

  
  


• 
  

  Microfiltered whey protein isolate.

  
  


• 
  

  Egg albumen.

  
  


• 
  

  Calcium caseinate.

  
  


• 
  

  Milk protein concentrate.

The maxim “Eat for growth” is familiar to competitive bodybuilders. But what about “Cycle for growth”?

No, we aren’t talking about the Tour de France pedal-pushing crowd. In bodybuilding, cycling refers to the practice of using one or more nutritional supplements for a specified period, discontinuing them, and starting another set. Cycling is assumed to have three purposes: to optimize results in a given training phase; to prevent harmful side effects by giving the body a rest; and to overcome the body’s tolerance for the supplements. Typical supplementation cycles run between four and 12 weeks. There are hundreds of supplements available, and the choices can be dizzying. 

Supplements Can Complement Training Cycles

Whether you’re a competitive bodybuilder or you just want to have a great physique, your goal is to gain lean body mass. How much mass you can expect to gain is largely determined by training and genetics. Read the rest of this entry »

Building a big body is like building a wall—you need plenty of bricks and mortar. Weight-gain supplements work like bricks and mortar for your body. They provide the raw materials that feed the appetite of growing muscles and maintain hard-won gains.

Who Needs a Weight Gainer?
If your sport of choice depends on size and muscle power, or your goal is to build a big, ripped body, you’ve got to add pounds. After all, you don’t see too many 150-pound linemen at football games.

But getting big isn’t easy for everybody. Whether it’s from genetics or an improper diet, “hard gainers” have trouble building up to the size and weight they want. That’s where weight gainers come in. These supplements are designed to help users bulk up and increase size and weight—without packing on a lot of fat. And since most weight gainers come in easy-to-use powders, it’s a snap to mix a shake and keep fueling up throughout the day.

Bodybuilders work hard to develop lean muscle mass, but most if not all have at some point had a hard time gaining and maintaining the desired size. This is precisely why CytoSport, one of the most respected names in supplements, developed its protein shake CytoGainer.

Unlike its competitors, CytoGainer provides users with generous amounts of protein and carbohydrates, minus the fat and sugar, in an easy-to-digest yet calorically dense muscle-building formula. It’s exactly the kind of class-act formula you’d expect from CytoSport, a company that specializes in low-carbohydrate meal-replacement protein-powder shakes and bodybuilding supplements designed to meet bodybuilders’ special needs while at the same time fulfilling every requirement of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.

Rave Reviews
In CytoGainer reviews, users rave about the shake’s great taste and report gains of 10 pounds in less than two weeks. Making CytoGainer a part of your healthful bodybuilding diet and strength-training agenda will get you immediate muscle mass and body-weight gains that come almost entirely from top-quality, complete whey protein and complex carbohydrates. Because true muscle building demands the highest-quality protein, CytoSport uses only the best whey and whey peptides in CytoGainer, which is 98 percent lactose free and 97 percent fat free, and provides 54 grams of protein, 3 grams of creatine, and 2 grams of glutamine per 150-calorie serving.
