Description

Vitol’s Russian Bear is a high-tech, zero fat weight gainer incorporating advanced Soviet and U.S. sports science ingredients. It includes pharmaceutical grade protein blend, three stage carbohydrate mix, MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), chromium picolinate, yohimbe bark, silkadeer antler powder, Siberian ginseng, inosine HxR, colostrum and essential vitamins and minerals. Russian Bear is specially formulated by Mr. America champion Val Vasilef, N.D., for lean super weight gain.

The pharmaceutical grade protein blend contains non fat milk solids and hydrolyzed egg white (albumin). One serving contains the equivalent of 292 grams of amino acid tablets, promoting maximum nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein). It is enhanced with colostrum (a protein found in mother’s milk), rich in immune factors secretory IgA and IGF-1 that boost immunity and wellness.

The three stage carbohydrate mix (glucose polymers) contains complex, medium chain and simple carbs, to sustain muscle glycogen (stored energy) and blood sugar levels. MCT oils also preserve muscle glycogen and are not stored as body fat, allowing for a steady release of energy. Chromium picolinate helps maintain normal blood sugar and insulin levels and can reduce body fat and promote weight loss.

Siberian ginseng is an adaptogen that can combat stress, boost mood, increase energy, stimulate immunity and improve well-being. Inosine is a purine nucleoside, a basic component in cells that forms the building blocks of DNA, ATP and RNA. The botanical yohimbe is a vasodilator that increases blood flow to the muscles and extremities. Silkadeer antler is a natural source of specialized molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are found in joint collagen and stimulate the production of synovial fluid in the joints, helping cushion and lubricate joints.
