Bodybuilding supplement

Weight Gainer are nutrient powders to help (mainly in bodybuilding ) athletes to gain weight. Especially for persons of ectomorphic ( slim ) type which, while having little body fat, but due to the rapid metabolism problems in building muscle mass, weight gainer are suitable.

The composition generally consists of about 60% carbohydrate and 25% fat and proteins, vitamins and minerals.

A common criticism of using weight gainers is the high levels of sugar in the making. The carbohydrate portion may consist of individual, high calorie weight gainer preparations largely of sugar, which can lead to increased build-up of fatty tissue when consumed regularly. Erroneously, the resulting weight gain of athletes in strength sports with an increase in muscle as a result of weight gainer intake is associated.
