Details
Power-packed with 80 grams of protein and 1170 mass-producing calories when mixed with 2 cups of skim milk, this potently superior formula is enhanced with proven anabolic drivers for rapid mass gain and strength! Better-Quality Calories Designed for the Hardgainer. Mass-Tech is the most versatile weight gainer available, which can be taken once daily or split into two separate half servings. The new, powerful formula now delivers a massive 1170 calories derived from high-quality protein and quickly digested carbohydrates, as well as specialized fats. More Protein per Serving Than Other Weight Gainers. New and improved formula features an 80 gram multi-phase protein system, when mixed with 2 cups of skim milk, that supplies fast, medium and slow-digesting proteins. The multi-phase protein system provides critical amino acids to the body at varying speeds for extended delivery of amino acids in the blood. More BCAAs and L-Leucine per Serving Than Other Weight Gainers. The formula's protein dose when mixed with 2 cups of skim milk supplies a massive 7 grams of L-leucine and 13 grams of BCAAs, which help fuel your skeletal muscles, preserve muscle glycogen stores and help to reduce the amount of protein breakdown. Added Amino Acids for Enhanced Effects. Beyond the key ingredients it supplies, Mass-Tech also provides additional ingredients, such as a 3-gram dose of L-alanine. L-alanine is the second-most used amino acid after L-leucine in protein synthesis. It has even been noted to play a role in glucose production for useable energy. The formula also delivers a 3-gram dose of Glycine, an amino acid that may help in the formation of many other biological compounds in the body, such as proteins and creatine. Taurine was also included as it's the second-most abundant amino acid found in muscle, after glutamine, and aids c ell volumization. Build Strength Faster. Unlike other leading gainers that contain little to no creatine, Mass-Tech delivers a 10-gram clinically validated dose to increase strength fast. Help Replenish Glycogen Stores. Supplies 168 grams of carbohydrates through a multi-phase carb complex to both spike insulin, quickly shuttling creatine into the muscle, and promote muscle glycogen replenishment, helping to put the body into an anabolic state. Formulated with Omega-Rich Fats. The full-spectrum formula contains less saturated fat than other weight gainers and is formulated with 5 grams of omega-rich fats, which provides energy-dense calories.*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Athletic Performance
Athletic Performance- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary “Star-Rating” system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

(General Endurance)200 mg of an herbal extract, standardized to contain 3% rosavin plus 1% salidroside, taken one hour before endurance exercise
[2 stars]
In a double-blind trial, healthy volunteers who received an extract of the herb Rhodiola rosea one hour before an endurance-exercise test saw significantly increased endurance, as measured by the time it took to become exhausted.Soy
(Exercise Recovery)33 to 40 grams daily
[2 stars]
In one study, elderly men participating in a strength training program who took a supplement containing protein (part of which was soy protein) immediately following exercise saw significant gains in muscle growth and lean body mass.Tart Cherry
(Reducing Pain and Speeding Muscle Strength Recovery after Intense Exercise)8–12 ounces twice daily of a tart cherry juice product equivalent to at least 80 mg per day of anthocyanins or 100–120 cherries daily
[2 stars]
Anthocyanins in tart cherry may support faster muscle recovery in athletes.Vitamin E
(Exercise Recovery, High-Altitude Exercise Performance)400 IU daily
[2 stars]
Antioxidants, including vitamin E, neutralize exercise-related free radicals before they can damage the body, so antioxidants may aid in exercise recovery. Vitamin E has been shown to benefit exercise performance at high altitudes.Whey Protein20 grams daily up to 1.2 grams of per 2.2 of pounds body weight per day
[2 stars]
Animal studies suggest that whey protein can increase gains in lean body mass resulting from exercise. One study found that people taking whey protein improved their performance on a test of short-term intense cycling exercise.Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG)Refer to label instructions 
[1 star]
AKG is used by cells during growth and is especially important in healing muscle tissue. It has been speculated that AKG supplements might help improve strength or muscle-mass gains by weight lifters.American GinsengRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Asian ginseng has been associated with improved athletic performance, though findings have been inconsistent. Its cousin, American ginseng, was found ineffective at improving endurance exercise performance in untrained people after one week. It is possible that different amounts and durations might affect results.Arginine
(Body Composition and Strength)Refer to label instructions
[1 star]
At very high intakes, the amino acid arginine has increased growth hormone levels, which stimulate muscle growth. Trials combining weight training with arginine and ornithine showed decreases in body fat and increases in total strength and lean body mass.Aspartic AcidRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Aspartic acid is an amino acid that participates in many biochemical reactions relating to energy and protein. Research suggests that it may help reduce fatigue during exercise.Beta-Sitosterol with Beta-Sitosterol Glucoside
(Post-Exercise Infection)Refer to label instructions
[1 star]
Beta-sitosterol, found in many plants, has been shown in one trial to improve immune function in marathon runners when combined with B-sitosterol glucoside. This implies that beta-sitosterol might reduce infections in athletes who engage in intensive exercise.Branched-Chain Amino Acids
(Post-Exercise Infection at Extreme Temperatures)Refer to label instructions
[1 star]
Some research has shown that branched-chain amino acids may support immune fuction and improve infection at high altitudes and prolong endurance performance in the heat.CayenneRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Capsaicin, a constituent of cayenne, has been shown to reduce pain caused by osteoarthritis and provide relief from chronic low back pain.ChromiumRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Chromium may play a role in altering body composition. Research has suggested that chromium picolinate might increase fat loss and lean muscle tissue gain when used with a weight-training program.Conjugated Linoleic AcidRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Conjugated linoleic acid may play a role in reducing body fat. Research has reported that CLA supplementation produces minor gains in muscle size and strength in weight-training men.CopperRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
In one trial a combination of zinc and copper significantly reduced evidence of post-exercise free radical activity.Deer Antler ExtractRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Deer antler base has a long history of use in Chinese medicine, and deer antler extract is being studied to determine its potential as a way to improve athletic performance.Egg ProteinRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Egg protein may help build muscle and improve post-exercise recovery in athletes.
Eucalyptus TopicalRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Eucalyptus-based rubs have been found to warm muscles in athletes. This suggests that eucalyptus may help relieve minor muscle soreness when applied topically.Gamma OryzanolRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Gamma oryzanol is a mixture of sterols and ferulic acid esters. One trial using ferulic acid in trained weight lifters found significantly more weight gain and increased strength compared with placebo.GuaranáRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Some athletes take guaraná, which contains caffeine, during their training, although there is no scientific research to support this use.Hemp ProteinRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Theoretical considerations and animal studies suggest hemp protein may improve stamina and help athletes recover after exertion.HMB
(Improving Body Composition with Strength Training in Untrained People)3 grams daily
[1 star]
HMB, a breakdown product of an essential branched-chain amino acid, has a role in protein synthesis and might, therefore, improve muscle growth and overall body composition. Research suggests it might be effective only when combined with an exercise program in people who are not already highly trained athletes.KolaRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Kola nut is a caffeine-containing herb sometimes used during athletic training.L-CarnitineRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
L-carnitine has been popular as a potential aid in improving athletic performance because of its role in converting fat to energy. Some studies have found that it improves certain measures of muscle physiology.MagnesiumRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Magnesium deficiency can reduce exercise performance and contribute to muscle cramps. Studies suggest that taking magnesium might improve performance, although possibly only for those who are deficient or who are not highly trained athletes.Medium-Chain TriglyceridesRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Medium-chain triglycerides contain a class of fatty acids that are more rapidly absorbed and burned as energy than other fats. For this reason, athletes have been interested in their use, especially during prolonged endurance exercise.MethoxyisoflavoneRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
The developers of methoxyisoflavone, a member of the flavonoid family, claim that it builds bone and muscle without the side effects seen with hormones. One trial found that athletes who took it reduced their body fat more significantly than those taking placebo.OctacosanolRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Preliminary studies have suggested that octacosanol improves endurance, reaction time, and other measures of exercise capacity.Ornithine Alpha-KetoglutarateRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is believed to facilitate muscle growth by enhancing the body’s release of anabolic hormones, but this is based on effects seen in hospitalized and elderly people, not published research.Pea ProteinRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Pea protein may help build muscle and help athletes recover after exercise.RiboseRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Ribose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which gets depleted during intense exercise. Reports have suggested that taking ribose might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.Rice ProteinRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.TribulusRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Tribulus terrestris extracts have been reported in preliminary studies to affect anabolic hormones in men, though a double-blind trial found no effect on body composition or strength performance from an eight-week strength training program.Vitamin B-ComplexRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
B-complex vitamins are needed to produce energy from carbohydrates. Exercisers may have slightly increased requirements for some of the B vitamins, including vitamins B2, B6, and B5, athletic performance can suffer if these slightly increased needs are not met.YohimbeRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Yohimbine has shown an ability to stimulate the nervous system, promote the release of fat from fat cells, and affect the cardiovascular system.ZincRefer to label instructions
[1 star]
Exercise depletes zinc, and severe zinc deficiency can compromise muscle function. One trial found that zinc improved muscle strength, and another study of athletes with low zinc levels found that zinc improved red blood cell flexibility during exercise, which could benefit blood flow to the muscles.About This Condition
Aside from training, nutrition may be the most important influence on athletic performance.1 However, in seeking a competitive edge, athletes are often susceptible to fad diets or supplements that have not been scientifically validated. Nevertheless, there is much useful research to guide the exerciser toward optimum health and performance.
