Description
Optimum Nutrition’s Pro Complex Gainer maximizes quality mass through premium proteins and nutrient-dense calories. It contains 7 muscle-building protein sources, lipid blend, maltodextrin, carbogen, aminogen, lactase and essential vitamins and minerals. Pro Complex Gainer is specially engineered to help strength athletes build quality lean muscle mass and weight.
Pro Complex Gainer contains premium protein made from 7 unique sources including whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, egg albumen, hydrolyzed whey peptides and glutamine peptides. This protein blend promotes protein synthesis and maximum nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). The addition of enzymes aminogen, carbogen and lactase help ensure protein, carbohydrate and lactase (milk sugar) digestion without bloating or cramping.
The lipid blend includes MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) and sunflower oil. MCTs are energy dense fats (lipids) that are more easily digested than larger fat molecules and more likely burned for muscle energy than stored as fat. Sunflower oil contains beneficial essential fatty acids that promote fat metabolism and leanness. Maltodextrin’s complex carbs provide sustained energy that help prevent proteins from being burned off as fuel.
