Here's the nutrition facts of it. Simply compare it to other options like http://atlargenutrition.com/nutrition_detail.php?products_id=18 or plenty of other gainers. Personally i shop around plenty before i buy stuff and don't buy for fancy names or labeling.

ive seen all stats and have looked around alot too.
think this would be good for me as a gainer just wondered if any1 had used it before an could let me know if it is any good really.
thanks for your responce

p.s never heard of it before so was wondering bout that too, is it a good name?? im pretty new too all this was taking holland and barrett weight gainer mixed with maximuscle protein but is empty now an was looking into getting some better products.

I would not use this product - 84 grams of sugar per serving is excessive. There is no fiber and my guess is that the protein source is likely whey concentrate.

Since you are overseas I am not sure what products are available to you.

In many cases you can purchase a quality protein powder and then build things from there. A good quality protein blend combined with fruit, milk, oats, cream, peanut butter, etc. makes for a great high calorie MRP or gainer.

i was just swayed towards this for the high carbs to be honest. that is LOTS of sugar! should i look more at higher protein and add 'good' carbs myself. im only a beginer, do you have any personal favourites? prefrebly that i could get online from great britain? thanks

I am not sure what products are available in Great Britain, and shipping from the U.S.A. may be expensive.

Having a lot of carbohydrates is fine, but you want them to be complex carbs (non-sugar) if possible. Maltodextrin powder is relatively inexpensive or you can use something like oats for your carbohydrate source. Fruit is good for pre/post workout.

For a meal replacement something like 5-10 grams fat, 35-50 grams carbs, and around 40 grams protein is ideal. For a mass gainer you might look for 10-15 grams fat, 50-75 grams carbs, and 50+ grams protein. Drinking a shake with 156 grams of carbohydrates and more than half of that being sugar is not an optimal ratio and will lead to more fat gain than muscle gain.

That would be a huge damn shake as well, haha
