High Carb Gainer

A high-carb gainer is a subspecies of one of the most popular types of sports nutrition - a gainer. This is a protein-carbohydrate mixture, in which, as the name implies, the emphasis is on carbohydrates. This athletic supplement is used mainly during the period of weight gain, as well as to simplify the addition of daily calories, which is increased with regular physical exertion. A high-carb gainer is recommended for use by people with a lean body type, who often find it difficult to gain muscle and overall mass - ectomorphs. People with other types of body constitution (mesomorphs and endomorphs) can drink such a cocktail only after training to close the anabolic window, but it is still recommended to pay attention to a high-protein gainer.

High Carb Gainer Features

• The percentage of carbohydrates in the composition of 70% and above, proteins - from 20% and below
• Contains different types of carbohydrates: simple and complex with a predominance of the latter
• Applies only to the period of gaining total mass
• Often enriched with vitamins and special enzymes for proper absorption
• One serving contains about 1000-1300 kcal

In a high-carb gainer, the protein part is 1/5 of the total composition or less. It can be represented by whey protein (most often) or a mixture of different proteins. The carbohydrate component in a quality gainer is represented by complex carbohydrates that are absorbed within a few hours and do not cause a sharp release of insulin into the blood. The most popular carbohydrates in the composition of the gainer is maltodextrin, which is considered the most effective for increasing body weight, while the likelihood of deposition of body fat is minimal, of course, with regular and targeted training.

How to take high-carb gainers?

A serving is usually 3-5 scoops mixed in water, juice or milk. A portion is taken in the morning, as well as immediately after a workout to replenish the spent resources. You can also take it during the day between meals to get the right amount of calories, but it is important to remember that a gainer is an addition to a balanced diet, not a replacement for it.
