Weight Gainers Comparison
Buying a weight gainer is fairly simple, you need to know how many calories you want to make up and then what source of carbohydrates you would like to get these caloreis from. Generally low GI, complex carbs are considered a more 'clean' source of calories than high GI carbs. We have given the macronutrient breakdown (protein/carbs/fat) per 100g of the product, as the serving sizes vary considerably. Please be aware that Omni Hardcore from Sci-MX is an all-in-one gainer which has many, many more active ingredients than the other on this page however we have included it as it is a popular choice as a gainer.
One other point we should make is that your decision shouldn't neccessarily be based just on the information presented on the table below - the protein type is also important, for example in the Dorian Yates Formass the protein is the same as that found in Dorian Yates Tempro. There are also things like digestive enazymes and added aminogen which can be found in Sci-MX Mass System which are worth taking into consideration.
