Hard Gainer is scientifically designed to give noticeable gains in size and strength. Used by bodybuilders and strength athletes, it delivers a calorie dense formula providing high levels of protein and carbohydrate in every serving to ensure that your growing muscles get all of the vital nutrients they need to develop and recover. Plus, our large 2.4kg bag offers a full one month’s supply at amazing value for money. Research shows after weight training you have what is called a ‘post workout nutrient window,’ this is when your muscles are starved and possess a ‘sponge like’ property that experts believe is responsible for your body’s ability to absorb a lot more protein and carbohydrates than any other time of the day. To fully take advantage of this ’nutrient window’ and increase mass, studies show your post workout shake needs 2 essential components: Protein for your muscles to repair and grow A high GI carbohydrate (dextrose and maltodextrin) to increase the absorption of the protein Based on these 2 key principles for increasing tissue size, we created Hard Gainer. Per 80g serving it contains 23.5g blend of premium grade whey isolate and milk protein concentrate to help the tissue repair, 49g blend of dextrose and maltodextrin to help increase protein absorption. Hard Gainer is best used either as a meal replacement shake to add calories to your daily diet or consumed post workout in the ’nutrient window’ to enhance protein synthesis and increase the amount of muscle you are able to gain. Also, whilst Hard Gainer alone has been shown to give great results, we recommend using it in conjunction with Creatine Monohydrate along with Hard Gainer can be beneficial as creatine been proven to help improve power, strength and growth. Studies show the carbohydrate content of Hard Gainer can help increase the absorption of creatine. Please note that the labelling on this product is provided in English as a minimum.
