What to keep in mind with Weight Gainers
When choosing a weight gainer one should keep some things in mind. You want to find a weight gainer that contains a Whey Protein blend that is made up primarily of Whey Protein Isolate. Almond and Pea proteins provide a high-quality source of slow-released complete proteins, which will deliver your muscles a constant supply of amino acids for a sustained increase in protein synthesis or muscle growth. Using both Almond and Pea proteins you will deliver a full spectrum of all essential amino acids. Some weight gainers use fast-absorbing whey as a protein source, this can cause a spike in insulin and can result in fat gains as oppose to muscle gains.
Almond protein has the naturally occurring perfect blend of highly anabolic BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine) in the scientifically-proven 2:1:1 dosing ratio. Pea protein it has a natural high level of glutamine and as we all know glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and plays a key role in protein synthesis and muscle growth.
Most importantly look for a weight gainer that does not contain Maltodextrine, or any sugars. Some weight gainers hide the sugars so make sure there are no hidden sugars.
