1. What is a gainer?
Gainerto is a high-carbohydrate (7080%) nutrient. It also contains a certain amount of protein and fat. As for protein, this nutrient may contain from a few to several dozen grams of protein per 100 grams. The sources of carbohydrates are glucose/dextrose and maltodextrin.2. The Gainer's composition
The main source of protein in a gainer is carbohydrate. It can be processed in a variety of ways, which affects the time it takes it to be absorbed. Egg or casein proteins are less often added. When we combine all kinds of proteins into one product, our muscles get a solid amount of building blocks, virtually from the moment they're absorbed by the body. The high content of carbs in the gainer makes the nutrient very calorific, which is incredibly important in providing the excess energy needed to build muscle mass.3. Manufacture in which the value of all the materials used does not exceed 50% of the ex-works price of the product
They usually contain a small amount of fat. However, there are also fats on the market that contain small amounts of MCTs. These fats are characterized by fairly good absorption and rapid metabolism in the body. MCTs do not require the involvement of the digestion of bile and large amounts of lipase, so the process of obtaining energy from them is relatively fast.4. Application
When to use a gainer? It is a very individual matter. It depends on diet, habits and appetite. It is worth drinking gainer for a meal after training. A large dose of sugar will stimulate insulin, which as a building hormone in addition to sugar, will also transport amino acids to the body tissues and other full-value nutrients contained in the meal. Gainery can also be used right after a meal.5. Training
Gainer should not be taken directly after exercise because it dramatically raises blood sugar levels. In people without an appetite it causes a feeling of fullness at the expense of a full meal after exercise. The best option is to use carbohydrate after exercise, as it contains no protein and fat and is not digested in the stomach, it only immediately passes into our intestines where it is currently inhaled into the bloodstream. Gainer cannot replace full meal.6. Portion of gainer
There's no definitive answer to this question, but portions should be tailored to our goals, which is our workouts. When we do a heavy leg workout that absorbs huge amounts of our energy, our glycogen stores decrease very quickly. Then it's worth eating more gainer. If our workout isn't too exhausting (we often do isolated exercises), there's not a need to use the same doses.7. Dissolving the gainer
If it is a supplement to a meal consumed at longer intervals after exercise, it can be dissolved in milk, thus maintaining better taste values. If you dissolve the gainer in milk and use it for a training meal, the milk contained in the nutrient may cause a slower absorption of the nutrients in the meal. Then it is worth dissolving it in water.8. Gainery summary
Gainer is a great food for people who want to gain weight and have problems with their appetite, but keep in mind that no supplement can provide us with what we eat in a balanced way. As a supplement, supplements can help us achieve the desired effect. I recommend gainer mainly to lean people for whom eating a calorie intake is a challenge.
