True-Mass
Overview
Weight gainers are a dime-a-dozen and there isn't much that distinguishes one product from another; most are essentially whey protein powders combined with maltodextrin or other carb sources, formulated with a massive recommended-serving size that lets the label brag about the huge calories it provides per serving.
That approach may work for some athletes, and may help some people put on a few pounds, but a few pounds of what? More discriminating athletes and users don't want to gain weight for weight's sake, they want to gain lean body mass and muscle, not body fat.
BSN's True Mass was formulated with this kind of athlete in mind. It's a million miles from the generic whey-and-maltodextrin combinations. First of all, you get a lot more than whey protein. True Mass combines Whey Protein Concentrate with Alpha And Beta Caseinates to give you the benefits of both fast and slow release protein. Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate adds even more protein and improves the Biological Value of the overall formula. Egg and Milk Protein are included to for a rich supply of essential amino acids and additional protein. You also get the benefits of a blend of carbohydrates in True Mass, not just a ton of high-glycemic maltodextrin like most weight-gainers. BSN makes a full line of sports nutrition products and understand that, even in a weight gainer, you need a lot more than carbs and protein. So they included 5 grams of healthy fiber, almost twice as much as a bowl of Cheerios. They've also included the energizing fat MCT's (medium chain triglycerides) to help sustain energy levels.
What won't you find in True Mass? Things you don't want in a weight gainer like stimulants, creatine, aspartame or artificial colors. The bottom line is that True Mass is one of the best and "cleanest" weight gainers on the market. If a protein powder isn't cutting it for you and you're thinking about a weight gainer, this is one of the ones to try first.
