Clean Mass Gainers
Gainers (from the English gain - to receive) are dietary supplements intended for athletes who have difficulty gaining muscle mass. They act in two directions at once:
- They provide additional energy to the body through carbohydrates.
- They nourish muscles with amino acids, which are the building materials of the former.
The difference between so-called “clean mass gainers” is that they contain more protein and less sugars and fats. Thus, they contribute to the gain of “dry” mass.
Types and review of gainers from Optimum Nutrition
Optimum Nutrition gainers are available in two types:
- high-carbohydrate, intended for athletes with a high metabolism who cannot get the required amount of calories from food to gain muscle mass;
- high-protein, containing large amounts of protein.
Pro Complex Gainer belongs to the second group, but at the same time, its composition also contains increased carbohydrate content. This proportion (85 g of carbohydrates and 60 g of protein) is aimed simultaneously at gaining muscle mass and replenishing energy costs.
Pro Complex Gainer is available in stores in two sizes:
| Volume, g | Number of servings | Approximate price, rub. | Average price per serving, rub. |
| 4 620 | 28 | 5 500 | 196 |
| 2 220 | 14 | 3 100 | 221 |
The obvious disadvantage of the product is its price, which is high not only in comparison with other Optimum Nutrition gainers, but also with similar supplements from other manufacturers.
Among the advantages are:
- good solubility in liquids without the help of special blenders;
- high content of various minerals;
- composition suitable for women.

| Alexei 24.08.2018 13:59 | Good afternoon. Why is this gainer in the fast carbohydrates section if everywhere else it is positioned as a complex carbohydrate gainer? <Maria Kiryushkina> 26.08.2018 15:34 Composition based on maltodextrin, which is a fast or simple carbohydrate. <Alexey> 26.08.2018 17:06 Thanks for the answer. But then what does meta pure mass from QNT do in the complex carbohydrates section, if there is even more maltodextrin there. And you can call a gainer so that it is not based on maltodextrin. <Andrey> 4.10.2020 20:35 Marketing is simple, all gainers are simple carbohydrates, it’s better to eat porridge, it’s more useful |

This is up to you to decide. You can start with half a portion. |

| Artyom 29.07.2016 18:33 | Hello! I bought a gainer so that on training days I could drink it after training, and on non-training days I could drink a portion in the evening between meals. The question is, what should I drink in the morning after I wake up, protein or gainer? It will turn out that in the morning I will drink, for example, a protein or a gainer and in the evening I will also drink a portion of a gainer. Weight 55 kg, height 170 cm, 21 years old I follow BJU in my diet, for proteins 2 grams per body weight, taking into account the proteins in the gainer, carbohydrates are 4-5 grams per body weight, taking them into account in the gainer. I eat 5-6 times a day (2 times, including taking a gainer or protein in the morning and a gainer in the evening), I have been working for 2 years. I bought a gainer based on complex coals, and complex protein as part of the gainer. <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 29.07.2016 18:40 There are many options. You can, for example, drink BCAAs in the morning. Or you can just eat the usual way. It all depends on the severity of the training the day before and whether there is progress in gaining weight. <Artyom> 29.07.2016 18:54 Not much progress. I have been gaining weight for a long time now. Workouts 3 times a week, well, I won’t say that there are easy workouts, there are hard and light ones (static dynamics), I cycle. <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 29.07.2016 21:57 You can try drinking a gainer in the morning, especially since the progress is weak. |

(At the same time, I would like not to gain/burn fat) What do you recommend? <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 8.07.2016 15:48 If the goal is fat burning, a gainer will be unnecessary.

I really like the gainer, I want to order a new package but I’m thinking about something.

As written above, after training it’s optimal. You can take another half portion (or a portion depends on your own weight) 40-50 minutes before. And if you want to gain weight, you can add it between meals. Although, from my own experience, I will say that between meals, pure casein is more effective for gaining weight. |

| Kira 2.04.2015 16:53 | Good afternoon Need advice on Pro Complex Gainer! My weight is 77, height is 179, age is 33. There is practically no fat (if there is, it is not significant), because I enjoy running 2 - 3 times a week, on average 8 - 12 km over rough terrain, at a speed of 9.5 -10.5 km /hour, the total distance is not less than 100 km in 30 days. At the same time, 2-3 times a week I do strength training - horizontal bar, push-ups, dumbbells, parallel bars, abs, back, chest, barbell (at home), for at least an hour and very diligently. There is relief, but muscle mass is gaining very slowly or not at all, which is very frustrating (so much effort, but the result...)! It is worth noting that my weight is 77 kg. has remained unchanged for about 7-8 months +- 1 kg. The question is, will running, which I cannot give up (for me, running is a priority over muscle growth), will my muscle growth be interfered with if I use this product? Will this product be effective if I combine strength training and running every other day, as I have been doing for the past year? Will there be any results with such a program!? If, after all, this combination is not effective, maybe you can recommend something else!? Thanks to everyone who cares for the answer!!! <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 2.04.2015 18:27 To gain weight, you need strength training. Endurance training interferes with weight gain. You can leave 1 aerobic workout per week, the rest strength training. <Roman Eremin> 2.04.2015 18:07 If your goal is to gain mass. Then growth requires an excess of calories; in your case, running will not contribute to the growth of muscle mass, since there is a significant loss of valuable calories. Running can be left for 5-10 minutes as a warm-up and cool-down. <Kira> 2.04.2015 18:14 Thank you! It's a pity… <Mikhail> 3.01.2016 11:35 Run skiing or in the mountains at high intensity, then you will lose weight)) |

| Timur 9.03.2015 10:44 | I took this gainer twice, last year at the beginning and in the fall... and each time I gained five kg in one package of 4.5 kg (from 70 to 75, then from 75 to 80) I am a hard gainer... and I was shocked by this result. Now I’ve been drinking protein for 3 months, I’ve been gaining carbohydrates from cereals, with zero results... who knows what the trick is? <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 9.03.2015 11:00 It’s simple, either you consume few carbohydrates, or you need to review and adjust your training plan, since there is no progress. <Timur> 9.03.2015 12:06 Thanks for the recommendation, we'll think about it. <Nikolai> 16.03.2015 16:49 But I think it’s just that fat and water have been deposited in a certain amount and are no longer gaining at such a pace. It’s only at the beginning that there’s such stress on the body, you can’t grow from a can of 5 kg all the time!!! I also jumped from 70 to 80 kg quickly, and then I struggled for half a year and didn’t gain much. Because muscles grow very slowly. Apparently this was my “fat maximum”, “body reserve for a rainy day” - what else can you call it))). By the way, I haven’t worked out in the gym for half a year now, my weight has almost returned to its original weight (73 kg). So don’t be fooled by the rapid “growth”, it’s all a joke, only what has been growing for a long time will remain, and definitely not water. <Timur> 18.04.2015 16:55 Well, let's see what happens.

Need some good advice. <Ilya Melekhin, sports medicine doctor> 26.02.2015 18:01 Gainer during drying will be superfluous <LeKha> 26.02.2015 19:19 Thank you very much for your answer. |

| Alexander 3.07.2014 12:59 | It's not a matter of what is possible and what is not. There is information on the label and it is not true. 1 scoop is actually 100-130 grams. Why does the manufacturer claim 159 grams? Should I check all Optimum products now? Obviously, such a body kit is not only found in gainers. It turns out in 1 scoop not 600 kcal, 85 carbohydrates and 60 proteins, but less. what about the order of magnitude? Answer please <Albert.> 19.07.2014 08:29 I agree, I am also interested in this question. <Mikha> 17.10.2014 18:58 I weighed it, one scoop to the brim is exactly 100 grams. if you pour it to the top marking, there will be just half a portion. But it doesn’t matter how much and what is in one serving, the main thing is how much and what is in 100 grams of the product. Choose the right amount of grams for yourself and drink. And of course, I also read that the body (everyone is different) does not absorb more than 25 grams of protein at one time. It’s not for nothing that many proteins serve exactly this amount of protein in one serving. Based on this gainer, we can conclude that it contains fewer calories than conventional gainers, but more than proteins. It turns out something between a protein and a gainer. |

How much time between meals of normal food? <Ritai> 13.07.2014 10:49 Gainer is a common food supplement. It makes sense to drink it on simple days if you lack nutrients from food. Personally, I drink 2 servings on training days and 1 serving on normal days (at work I don’t always have time to eat properly and that’s why I have to drink a gainer) |

In a month from 62 to 75 kg (an increase of 13 kg: fat by a third, water with glycogen by a third, muscles by a third); height 185. My diet was: Pure Vitargo, 5000 grams, (barley starch) 1 serving = 75 grams = 280 kcal 5 servings per day = 350 grams of complex carbohydrates = 1400 kcal per day 2 packs = 10 kg = 133 servings = 26 days = 37240 kcal ON Pro Complex Gainer, 4620 grams, (whey protein isolate/concentrate + maltodextrin) 1 serving = 165 grams = 620 kcal 4 servings per day = 320 grams complex carbohydrates + 240 grams protein = 2480 kcal per day 4 packages = 18480 grams = 112 servings = 28 days = 69440 kcal Total: ‒ per day: 240 grams of protein + 670 grams of complex carbohydrates = 3880 kcal ‒ for 26/28 days: 6720 grams of protein + 18000 grams of complex carbohydrates = 106680 kcal And also: 600 grams of creatine (monohydrate), 84 grams of arginine (alpha-ketoglutarate), 28 liters of orange juice and about 50 liters of water. <I have the same height and weight> 26.05.2014 23:41 How many times did you take it and how many grams?

| Paul 24.05.2014 20:00 | I want to buy it, can I get very fat from it, with 3-4 workouts a week for an hour? <Evgeniy Kovtunenko> 25.05.2014 16:13 To “gain weight” you need to eat a lot, you need to consume more kilocalories than you expend. Naturally, the fat layer will also increase. Here a lot depends on your physiology: whether you are more inclined to be overweight or thin. Once again: the fat layer will inevitably grow. If you really have a problem with your weight, choose a gainer with a relatively low content of carbohydrates and proteins. <Anton> 26.05.2014 06:47 And if I am prone to obesity, is it worth drinking it at all? Or can I make do with just whey? |

| MS 4.04.2014 10:19 | Question for those who bought Pro Complex in a can: was there a protective membrane glued to the neck? Otherwise, I bought it, there was no membrane, and the lid came off very easily. <Alexander Grigoriev> 4.04.2014 13:48 Recently, the Optimum company has been cutting costs to remain in the price category. Unfortunately, this is a consequence of this economy. <Doctor Popov> 7.04.2014 01:16 Question for the doctor. Do you think their prices are adequate? There is no doubt - the gainer is working, at least I gained up to 80 kg from 60 from three packages. The goal was precisely to gain weight. I didn’t think that some kind of powder could help with this, but the fact remains a fact. I wanted to buy protein, but the prices there are absolutely crazy, more expensive than this gainer. <Voldemar> 2.05.2014 20:29 I read somewhere that the protective membrane on the packages is an anti-dust membrane, used on the packaging line so that the powder does not generate dust when loaded into a jar. It is not placed on glue so that glue and its traces do not get into food. I’m on my third can of Optium Nutrition and it’s not glued on all the cans. |

The empty scoop itself weighs 23g. Savok with gainer (banana flavour) – 123 gr. Those. There are 100 grams of powder there when the stated 165?!!

Pro Gainer (Optimum Nutrition)[edit | edit code]
Pro Gainer
from Optimum Nutrition is an improvement of the famous Serious Mass gainer. Gainer Pro Complex is a multi-component gainer enriched with 25 vitamins and minerals. Unlike other gainers, the protein-carbohydrate composition of Pro Complex Gainer is almost equal in the ratio of protein and carbohydrates: 60 g and 85 g, respectively.
Key Benefits of Optimum Pro Complex Gainer
:
- 620cal per serving of gainer
- only 4% sugar per serving of gainer
- easy to prepare without a sports shaker, tastes good
- 60g protein
- 25 vitamins and minerals
Features and regimen
The prepared mixture should be taken no later than an hour after physical activity - it is at this time that the muscles need energy and protein replenishment. Otherwise, training in terms of gaining muscle mass will be ineffective.
The frequency of administration depends on the needs of the body and the amount of physical activity. Some athletes need 2-3 servings per day, while others need half of one.
The manufacturer's recommended daily dose is 2 g of protein per kilogram of weight at high loads. To determine a more accurate dosage, you need to consult with a trainer and nutritionist.
It should be borne in mind that the use of a gainer will not provide muscle mass gain without a number of factors:
- regular training with alternating loads on different muscle groups (for each - no more than once every two days);
- balanced diet - fruits, vegetables, cereals, meat and dairy products;
- drinking water at least two liters per day;
- correct daily routine, sleep patterns.
