If taking weight gainer is whey protein needed?

[Leonhart54]

if i have been taking creatine, multivitamin pills, and whey protein and recently got weight gainer cytogainer....is it necessary to also take the whey protein now since it offers protein?

necessary? no. recommended? yes. whey does alot more than just give you protein. it also increases protein synthesis (how well your body utilizes protein to build muscle) so any protein you take on top of whey will be better absorbed. whey is also, imo, the best choice for postworkout because it gives you a faster acting protein to get your muscles rebuilding faster.

If your using the weight gainer PWO, then whey is not needed. Just use your weight gainer as it has sugars mixed in it!

You have to check your macronutrients. If you are not eating enough protein from your diet and gainer you still have/need to use whey/casein.
