10 Best Ectomorph Gainers

"Weider Mega Mass 4000" has been on the sports nutrition market for several decades, updated the composition many times and finally settled on the best formula for body recovery. There are approximately 820 calories per serving, of which 120 grams are carbohydrates and 49 grams are protein. There are practically no fats.Due to the high molecular weight starch in the composition, the powder is absorbed quickly and enters the muscles (if you exercise regularly).

The composition contains 15 vitamins and an amino acid complex, which allows you to compensate for the lack of nutrients and accelerate the growth of muscle mass. The manufacturer recommends taking the supplement twice, including during rest. The product has its fans who drink it for years and praise for the result. However, you should not abuse it, because it contains quite a lot of sugar and with insufficient load, all this will be deposited in the form of fat. Also, many were upset by the lack of a measuring spoon in the set.

Mutant Mass has a huge amount of carbohydrates, which are so lacking in thin athletes. 100 g of the product contains 20 g of protein and 70 g of carbohydrates - the ideal ratio for ectomorphs. The mixture is taken before training and gives a boost of energy, and then supports the result. The manufacturer added 10 types of protein to preserve muscle mass, casein, whey and milk proteins are in the first places. Also, the gainer is enriched with healthy fats from: avocado, flax, pumpkin, coconut and sunflower oils.

Athletes note that saturation is felt even 6 hours after application. "Mutant Mass" is best for those who exercise frequently or lead an active lifestyle. Without this, the body can swim with fat, because the composition is mainly fast carbohydrates. Of the minuses, they also note the average solubility and too sweet taste.

"Muscle Juice Revolution 2600" is popular among athletes due to its excellent value for money. Unlike other products, it contains a unique protein blend that combines 8 key proteins (various types of whey, milk and egg proteins, as well as casein). The carbohydrate component of the gainer is represented by corn and rice maltodextrin. The product also contains calcium, iron, enzymes and glutamine, which are often lacking in athletes.

There are just over 1,000 calories per serving, with only 80 from fat. The mixture is quickly absorbed and gives results with regular workouts. However, judging by the reviews of athletes, it is not very pleasant to use this gainer: it is difficult to mix it in water or milk, and the taste is rather sugary. Some people feel heaviness after an hour or two, so beginners are advised to start with a small dose.

"MHP Up Your Mass" boasts the most balanced composition: there are carbohydrates, and proteins and fats in a ratio of 45/35/20. At the same time, the carbohydrate share is not represented by maltodextrin, which is used in 90% of gainers, but by a grain mixture with a low glycemic index. Athletes say that the gainer fills with energy and restores strength. It contains minerals that aid absorption and promote muscle growth.

The protein matrix is ​​reinforced with amino acids, plus casein restores muscle tissue after training, and the vitamin complex helps the body cope with stress.Many opponents of soy speak negatively about the gainer due to the use of soy isolate in the composition. However, in this case, there is no need to be afraid of this: the degree of purification is such that there is no trace of phytoestrogens here. As a drawback, the taste is noted - it is not very pleasant, you will have to be patient.

"Universal Nutrition Real Gains" is able to cope with one of the main problems of thin athletes - slow anabolic processes. This gainer accelerates the body with casein, inulin and trace elements, slowing down metabolism and causing muscle mass to grow. In the first place here are carbohydrates for muscle gain, in one serving about 600 calories. Beginners are advised to take the supplement after training and go without it on rest days. More experienced athletes who know their body can use a gainer daily.

The advantages of the product are useful amino acids and high-quality fast and slow proteins in the composition. Maltodextrin is used as a carbohydrate, plus there is some sugar, so it is better not to overdo it with the dosage. The manufacturer offers several flavors, but not all of them are equally successful - some are very sugary. They also complain that the mixture does not mix well and it is almost impossible to get rid of lumps.

"True-Mass" from "BSN" made the list of the best due to the excellent composition, which is ideal for ectomorphs. The percentage of protein is reduced in favor of carbohydrates, most of which are slow.At the same time, the existing protein matrix consists of as many as six types of high-quality sources: here are whey and milk proteins, and casein, and egg albumin, etc. In general, this product without hesitation boasts a prolonged action. The digestibility of the gainer is excellent, and, as a rule, athletes do not have problems with the gastrointestinal tract. This is largely due to the good composition and the optimal ratio of ingredients.

One serving (2 scoops) has 1200 calories, which guarantees 100% effectiveness. However, many recommend consuming no more than one spoon, that is, 600 calories, which is quite enough to evenly gain weight and muscle mass, but not so much to go into fat. In general, buyers have no questions about the quality of the product, except for the rather high price.

Another great product from a Russian manufacturer. Contains simple and complex carbohydrates in a ratio of 40/60, which allows you to quickly replenish the supply of nutrients and energize your muscles for the next few hours. Due to this, the Steel Power gainer helps to gain body weight evenly and efficiently and is recognized as one of the most effective. In addition, the composition includes 23% whey protein concentrate and 10% beef protein hydrolyzate, which has a good effect on muscle growth.

The supplement is enriched with vitamins, creatine, as well as dietary fiber and the prebiotic inulin, which provide comfortable digestion.There is no sugar, and the main ingredient is the carbohydrate isomaltulose with a low glycemic index, so the product is safe and does not cause insulin spikes. The mixture is easy to dissolve in liquid, easy to drink, plus there are many original flavors, such as gingerbread, melon, snickers, orange fondue, etc. From the unpleasant: some athletes showed individual intolerance.

One of the best gainers in the ranking from the Russian manufacturer "Be First", which pleases with excellent quality and affordable price. 20% whey protein accounts for 70% carbohydrates, so this is the best option for ectomorphs. A big plus is that the composition contains both fast and slow carbohydrates: maltodextrin, ground oats and rye. This allows you to achieve a prolonged action and effectively saturates the body not only immediately after ingestion, but also for the next few hours.

There are about 416 calories per serving, due to which mass can be gained quite quickly, which is also confirmed by athletes. In addition, the gainer is fortified with vitamins, as well as biotin, which accelerates muscle growth and provides them with the necessary energy. And the additive tastes like fire, at least according to the reviews. The manufacturer offers several options: vanilla, cappuccino, caramel, strawberry and chocolate. Among the shortcomings, it is noted that due to the grain components, the mixture is not completely stirred and the precipitate quickly precipitates.

Gainer "Dymatize Super Mass Gainer" is deservedly recognized as one of the best for weight gain. It contains five times more carbohydrates than protein. It is perfect for thin people, as it will not only add mass, but also restore energy reserves after a workout. The composition contains vitamins, creatine, an amino acid mixture of BCAAs and glutamine and trace elements for better digestibility. With such nutritional value, the price of the product does not seem too high.

Judging by the reviews of athletes, this supplement is a real salvation for ectomorphs. One serving contains 1280 calories, so you need to be careful with the dosage. In addition, most of the carbohydrates are maltodextrin and sugar, which in large doses is not very useful. Even the manufacturer recommends ½ serving unless you're in the gym 24 hours a day. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting fat folds instead of an expressive relief.

Many athletes put this gainer in first place, which is not surprising: "Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass" contains so many carbohydrates that it saturates instantly and easily replenishes a calorie deficit. There are more than 1250 calories per serving, so it is quite capable of replacing a full meal. At the same time, carbohydrates are the basis of the nutritional supplement, and the protein content in the mixture is not too high, which is ideal for ectomorphs. Also, the gainer is enriched with a huge amount of useful substances: creatine, glutamine, choline, and also contains an impressive complex of 25 vitamins and minerals, with an emphasis on B-vitamins and antioxidants.

Athletes praise the product for its excellent quality, high performance and affordability. The undoubted advantages of this gainer are its energy value and saturation of the body. It is relatively inexpensive for a good composition with quality protein, vitamins and minerals. However, beginners with it need to be very careful, as it is easy to overdo it with the dosage and swim in fat without the necessary physical activity.
