Max Muscle Sports Nutrition (MMSN) is proud to introduce Gourmet Gainer, a rich and ultra creamy high protein and high carbohydrate weight gain formula. Gourmet Gainer is calorically dense and designed for those individuals looking for a highly concentrated protein and calorie formula to support maximum lean muscle mass gains. We have formulated this product with the highest quality and purity of ingredients available in the marketplace so you can be assured of the safety and effectiveness of Gourmet Gainer.

Gourmet Gainer is the complete muscle and weight gaining formula providing 456 calories, 35 grams of multi-fractional whey proteins and 72 grams of multi-molecular weight carbohydrates per serving (mixed in 12-16 oz water). Mixed with 16 oz milk (2%), Gourmet Gainer provides 700 calories, 51 grams of protein and 96 grams of carbohydrates.

Gourmet Gainer is packed with 35 grams of multi-fractional proteins derived from whey protein isolates (WPI), whey protein concentrates (WPC) and whole milk solids (WMS). Our unique blend delivers long, medium and short chain amino acids and nitrogen for sustained (timed) release over several hours. The three sources of synergistic proteins will make sure that your nitrogen balance and ability to gain lean muscle mass will be optimized.

The WPC in Gourmet Gainer are purified by ultra filtration and ion exchange chromatography. This fraction is rich in beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactoglobulin, immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM, glycomacropeptides, bovine serum albumin (BSA), lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme. Further purification by a cross-flow microfiltration/ultrafiltration process to yields the WPI, one of the purest and highly concentrated proteins ever developed. This technology yields a WPI that is un-denatured retaining all the beneficial subfractions in their natural and effective ratios.

Each serving of Gourmet Gainer provides 72 grams of multi-source carbohydrates with rapid to extended absorption rates including, waxy maize starch (amylopectin), maltodextrin and fructose. Waxy maize starch has the highest molecular weight of the group followed by maltodextrin with an intermediate molecular weight and fructose with the lowest molecular weight. Gourmet Gainer provides the ideal forms and amounts of carbohydrates to pack glycogen in muscles for maximum weight gain. Fiber has also been shown to have numerous health benefits.

Gourmet Gainer is instantized so you can mix it vigorously or shake it without a blender. Gourmet Gainer was developed to exceed your expectations as the best gainer available in the marketplace.
