Product Information

At WellnessVerge, we only use reputable sources, including peer-reviewed medical journals and well-respected academic institutions.

Akramiene D, et al. Effects of beta-glucans on the immune system. Medicina (Kaunas). 2007;43(8):597-606. High Protein Content: An average person working out in the gym needs between 1.2-2 grams of protein per kilogram of their bodyweight. A single serving of Optimum Nutrition’s serious mass contains about 50 grams of protein, which makes it a perfect source of protein to be added in the nutrition plan. Using Serious Mass as a post workout drink is highly advisable. Serious Mass is safe in the sense that it does not contain any dangerous ingredients that raise any red flags. Just because it’s not a very good mass gainer doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. However, we would say that it is not healthy due to the high calorie count, high cholesterol, high sugar, and high fat counts. How long does Serious Mass take to work?

Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass

To make a Serious Mass shake, add one serving to a blender filled with 24 ounces of cold water, milk, or other beverage, and blend for 30–45 seconds until dissolved. The type of protein contained in mass gainers tends to be a blend of whey and casein protein. Whey is absorbed much faster than casein, so the blend delivers a hit of protein after your workout and then a steady stream throughout the day. Look for mass gainers that contain “isolate” whey, which is purer and absorbed more rapidly than whey concentrate. The Serious Mass instructions are not very in depth. It essentially just says to take one serving per day. You can use it as a meal replacement supplement, or you can use it as a post workout supplement as I mentioned before. There really is no wrong way to use the Serious Mass gainer. When to take Serious Mass If you’re looking to gain muscle mass, it may be helpful to take a mass gainer right after your workout, but it’s not necessary. While protein does help heal the tears that form in your muscles during a workout, it does not matter when you consume your post-workout mass gainer. As long as you are eating enough protein, carbs, and fats throughout your day (or in surplus, if you want ot gain mass), you should start to see results. How Do Mass Gainers Work?

I cannot speak for the list of other ingredients above and I am currently in the process of seeking peer reviewed literature on their effects. I can hope that Optimum is as responsible as I believe they are, and since their products do not contain aspartame, I am pleased thus far with that knowledge. Serious Gainz Mass Gainer Protein Powder is a high protein, high calorie muscle building shake which makes it a great choice for athletes who require extra calories to build new muscle, and also skinny guys or ‘hardgainers’ who struggle to get enough extra calories to achieve their training goals, on workout days immediately after workouts, and in between breakfast and lunch on non-workout days. Each serving gives you 30g of high-quality protein along with 468 lean calories. Before Bed: Drink 1/2 - 1 serving of Serious Mass about 45-60 minutes before bed to provide nutrients to recovering muscle throughout the night. The serving size which is 2 scoops makes it hard to mix with water or milk, and may take a lot of time to dissolve in a way that it becomes drinkable. Since it’s a high calorie weight gainer, it is expected to be like this. The Irish justice minister, Helen McEntee, labelled the scenes “intolerable” and said a “thuggish and manipulative element must not be allowed to use an appalling tragedy to wreak havoc”.Macros are the carbs, protein, and fat that make up your food. Protein to carb ratio varies per product, and the ratio customers are looking for also varies per individual. Some want a hit of protein and carbs after a workout; some prioritize protein and not as many carbs after a workout. If you’re trying to maintain a lean build while gaining muscle, a higher protein count and lower carb count may be better for you, whereas if you’re trying to bulk, protein mixed with a higher number of carbs could benefit you. Ratios vary from one-to-one to one-to-five, and we’ve included a variety of options in this range on this list to help satisfy all customer needs. Quality Ingredients
