Description
Weider’s Mega Mass is a nutrient rich weight gain formula loaded with the latest performance ingredients. It includes proprietary protein blend, maltodextrin, creatine, betaine, inositol, choline, chromium, taurine, MCT (medium chain triglycerides) and essential vitamins and minerals. Mega Mass provides large amounts of high quality calories, protein and complex carbs to pack on quality pounds quickly and efficiently.
The proprietary protein blend contains whey protein concentrate, calcium/sodium caseinate, egg albumen, soy protein isolate and whey powder. This promotes protein synthesis and maximum nitrogen retention (stored muscle protein) for muscle gain and recovery. Creatine is a naturally occurring metabolite found in muscle that can increase muscle mass, energy, strength, endurance and recovery.
Maltodextrin’s protein sparing complex carbs replenish muscle glycogen (energy stores) and help regulate blood sugar levels. MCT oils also preserve muscle glycogen and are not stored as body fat, allowing for a steady release of energy. The amino acid taurine and chromium help maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels.
Choline is a precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and helps support energy, memory, learning and muscle contractions. Betaine is a vitamin derived from choline that regulates fat metabolism and sugar levels in the blood. Inositol is part of the vitamin B complex and can enhance hormonal balance, alleviate overtraining, promote immunity and decrease recovery time.
