If you are looking add more calories to your regular diets through the weight gainer if you are one of the persons unable to gain weight. The weight gainers we talked with were taken aback when they started gaining muscle faster.
Previously some weight gainers used to contain higher protein powders with sugar and fats offering the dose of around 128 oz with 3000 calories, which is considered the improper size of dose having sugar contents against healthy diet plan. Also the protein qualities in such gainers were not up to the mark. In spite of the presence of all such gainers in the market the supplement industry has still recharged.
Biological Values
The protein quality is recognized on the basis of how better the body uses it, which is technically known as "biological value" or BV as abbreviated. This term means how well and how fast the body gets and consumes the proteins practically. Hence the whey protein in form of whey isolate(BV 159) is readily absorbed fast whereas the milk protein Casein(BV 77) is readily absorbed slow proving it to be of lesser quality.
The content of sugar in the weight gainer supplement is an important factor worth considering as the excess of it may affect insulin and enhance serotonin levels. This may lead to the drowsiness, irritation and headaches in some particular cases. The increased level of insulin leads to storage of body fats. It is suggested to buy the gainer with the nutrition label showing sugar contents within 30-60 grams range as listed under carbohydrates.
