Never seen it before... looks much cleaner than most weight gainers. Also pretty cheap.
What is the verdict?

That looks better than the Cytogainer I am taking now, not by much but less fat, sugar and a lot less sodium...

well it says its low gi, so its not pwo, so i would assume it should have more fats, i guess if you add some fish oil and other healthy fat too it it might be good, but thats just my oppinion ive never heard of this product be4

i believe GI is not that important a number PWO, insulin is more important i think... though the 2 are often tied together

gi is really important pwo, higher gi means it reaches your muscles faster, pwo you need it to hit your muscles as fast as possible, hence pwo shakes in the anabolic window

It completely destroys cytogainer. Cytogainer is mostly maltodextrin, which is essentially sugar.

PWO, GI in the form that most weight gainers provide it in isn't optimal (maltodextrin). It has little to no nutritional value other than 4 fast burning calories. Juice is superior.
This weight gainer could be taken on the go when you don't have time or the materials to make a homemade shake.

NOTE: The small differences are mainly geared toward simplifying the guidelines. The rest of the recommendations about food types are pretty much the same. Also note that I no longer give a damn about GI, it doesn't really make a difference one way or another. If you want high GI carbs pre and/or during training, go for it. As time has passed, GI has proven itself to be a worthless, irrelevant index. Insulinogenesis is a separate issue, and striving to keep insulin up during & postworkout is a great idea. This is accomplished by both food type & food amount, the latter being more important. There's obviously a lot more to this, but that's the important basics. The rest is fringe.

^^ what im talking about that i read

It follows his 2:1 carb : protein ratio PWO, if you wanted to use it then.

Why do I sound like a rep for this company? lol
