MASS FORMULA MCT Gainer is a dietary supplement of carbohydrates, proteins, medium chain triglycerides (MCT), HMB, creatine, L-glutamine, taurine and vitamins.

GLUTEN FREE.

Mass Formula MCT Gainer is a supplement based on carbohydrates (maltodextrin, fructose) and proteins of high biological value obtained from milk (ultrafiltered whey proteins). The mixture of macronutrients is balanced from a nutritional point of view and particularly balanced to be easily digested and assimilated.

The product is designed for those who have to face intense competitions or workouts, who have to eat frequently or who want to add extra Kcal in their diet, with the aim of increasing muscle mass.

Among the added ingredients we find creatine (increases potency in anaerobicoalactacid exercise), glutamine (supports muscle protein anabolism; strengthens the immune system) and taurine (improvement of the excitability of muscle and heart membranes, antioxidant action).

The formulation also contains MCTs (medium chain triglycerides). They are particular saturated fatty acids: they have, in fact, from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, unlike the “classic” ones that have 14 and more. This characteristic means that they, once they reach the intestine, do not stimulate the secretion of bile and pancreatic juice and then easily enter the bloodstream and not the lymphatic one. In other words, they are absorbed and oxidized much more quickly than long-chain fatty acids (carnitine is not even needed). They represent, therefore, an alternative and complementary source to carbohydrates for energy. Some studies also seem to suggest that MCT consumption is associated with performance benefits (Wang Y et al., 2018, PLoS ONE).

Another ingredient of the product is HMB. It is naturally present in the body where it is produced from certain substances, mainly from L-leucine (branched amino acid). The properties and effects ascribed to HMB derive substantially from its ability to prevent and/or reduce the loss of lean mass (muscle mass).

Intense and prolonged exertion has important repercussions on the muscular system and many studies have shown that the administration of HMB is able to prevent or reduce these damages. In general, this prevention and/or reduction of muscle damage is associated with a significant improvement in performance of both aerobic and anaerobic nature and a decreased perception of muscle pain.

Mass Formula MCT Gainer can be included in the family of so-called “gainers”. The presence of high amounts of important nutrients creates the conditions to be considered also an excellent product for muscle recovery after exertion.
