CytoSport Cyto Gainer Lean Muscle Maximizer Chocolate Malt -- 6 lbs

1/2 LB. FREE. No Trans Fatty Acids. 100% Whey Protein Sources. Each Serving Contains:. 54 g Protein. 98% Lactose Free. 96% Fat Free. 3g Creatine. 2g GlutaminePre-Digested Whey Peptides. Mixes Fast with InstaPro DENSE, FULL, HARD MUSCLE takes primarily 3 things:. PROTEIN - Quality aminos and lots of them. CARBS - Complex, quality carbs, and lots of them, too! A LOT OF HARD WORK. If you've ever had trouble really growing, or had trouble maintaining your hard-earned size, this product was designed specifically for you. CytoGainer gives you large portions of protein and carbohydrates, without the fat and sugar. If you're like most of us, you get plenty of fat and sugar in your diet, and you certainly don't have to supplement to get more of either. Forget about the uncomfortable, bloated feeling from cheap, high lactose, low quality whey proteins; CytoGainer contains the highest quality whey and whey peptides, and is 98% lactose free! CYTOGAINER HAS IT ALL! Here are the Hard Facts. Each serving of CytoGainer provides 54 grams of plateau busting, shirt popping, protein which has:. Protein Efficiency Ratio - 3.6. Biological Value - 104 Very high. PDCAAS 1.0 (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) Matches highest Fed Gov's standard. Net Protein Utilization - 94% - You can use all you get! Protein Digestibility - 95% - It doesn't just get in your mouth, it gets into your muscles!! CytoGainer contains glutamine-rich partially pre-digested whey peptides for improved protein synthesis. Each serving also contains whey fractions shown to help increase IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). Your body's responses to these whey fractions, along with the branched-chain aminos found in CytoGainer, are primarily responsible for muscle growth. HOW ABOUT THE CARBS? With no simple sugars, no fructose, and no sucrose, CytoGainer's highly complex maltodextrins from corn hybrids are specifically designed to give you a time release energy effect. You won't believe how you'll be able to power through your most intense workouts feeling strong and energized. You will also replenish muscle and liver glycogen after your workout so you can fully recover and grow! CytoGainer provides a stable and enduring fuel, enhanced to drive growth nutrients into your thirsty muscles! USE CYTOGAINER THREE TIMES A DAY. The optimal time for a serving of CytoGainer is 30-45 minutes immediately after your workout. This timing is critical because your muscles absorb approximately 80% of the aminos and carbs necessary to help them grow during the two hour period immediately following exercise. CytoGainer supplies the right kinds of complex carbs in the optimum amounts to encourage your metabolism to convert and utilize stored body fat. For additional carbs, protein, and energy, take CytoGainer as a snack or meal replacement multiple times throughout the day. A final serving just before bed will provide the fuels for growth and recovery while you sleep. You won't believe how delicious, satisfying, and instantly soluble CytoGainer is in milk or water! You really can use a shaker or stir it in a glass. No matter how you mix it, you will find CytoGainer convenient, delicious and effective in helping build muscle! Grams of Amino Acids per 100 grams of protein. ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS. L-Leucine (BCAA) - 11.5g. L-Isoleucine (BCAA) - 6.5g. L-Valine (BCAA) - 6.2g. L-Lysine - 9.6g. L-Threonine - 6.8g. L-Methionine - 2.2g. L-Phenylalanine - 3.5g. L-Tryptophan¹ - 1.8g. ¹ Tryptophan is a naturally occurring component of whey protein. There is no added free-form tryptophan.

Great Protein Shake, April 22, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewer from Phoenix, AZ

"I believe this is the best protein shake/meal replacement I ever bought. It mixes very well. Even my wife use it in her shakes for her and my 2 boys. I love to add a banana, a few strawberries and some apple juice for a great breakfast or right after working out. Can't have enough of it!!"

Does what it says it will do, February 24, 2009
By Keel

"If you want to gain weight, this product WILL help you do it with a heavy workout. The only problem is that if you go to the gym 4 days a week, there is really only enough in the 6 lb tub for one week, since you ideally want to frame your sleep cycle with shakes, and also take one after your workout. My only complaint is the sheer amount needed per serving. Other than that, the product works great and will help you reach weight gain goals with relative ease."

Very good product, January 16, 2009
By dganas1 from Pasadena/Los Angeles, CA

"I use this protein mixer regularly (almost daily) because of the high protein and creatine content. It is delicious and adding fruit and/or wheat germ to it makes it just as good and even healthier. It is a bit pricey, but I believe worth it for those who are trying to increase their protein and creatine intake easily without having to eat a lot. One shake is pretty filling. Downside - it is high calorie, but if you're burning it off in the gym or other work-out, that's OK."

This product seems to work well, January 3, 2009
By MrClayton from San Diego, CA

"I've been using this product for a few weeks, about 2 servings a day and I definitely feel more endurance during hard workouts. I think the carbs are primarily maltodextrins with a high glycemic index so this will boost your insulin - so I would consider not taking this right before going to bed in order to minimize fat gain."

Post Workout, December 1, 2008
By TRfromCHI from Atlanta

"I use this as a post-workout supplement. I cannot handle all the carbs in a full serving (4 scoops) so I only use 2 scoops and add a scoop of egg protein. This makes a great routine to keep muscle soreness minimal and get results from EACH workout. Tastes good, has all the essentials, no fancy stuff added."

Much too sweet!, November 20, 2008
By LouisC from Butler, NJ

"The CytoGainer Chocolate Malt is overly sweet. They must've put too much Splenda in it. It doesn't have a Chocolate Malt taste. I expected it to taste like "Classic Ovaltine", but instead it tasted like a dark sweet chocolate drink.
I also found it to clump alittle when I mixed it in a shaker bottle, and for some reason, it didn't satisfy me like the Vanilla Shake did?
I would recommend this if you like a rich, very sweet Chocolate milk. If you don't...don't buy it!"

Didnt notice any gains with this protein, October 21, 2008

NOT WORTH IT, October 15, 2008
By cmyates from CT

"Took as directed and saw minimal gains, not to mention one serving has 46% of you daily requirement of Cholesterol. You would be better off using Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey with NOW Carbogainer. Plus it tastes terrible"
