Weight gainers

weight gainers; what are they and when do you use them?

If you want to gain weight, you will need to consume more calories than you consume daily. Do you have trouble eating enough during the day? Do you want to gain muscle mass? Weight gainers then offer a convenient and effective solution to increase your calorie intake. 

Weight gainers are a popular sports supplement. In contrast to the well-known protein powders, such as whey protein, the weight gainers are not only rich in protein, but also in carbohydrates. Some weight gainers also have healthy fats added. 

There are many types of weight gainers, from different manufacturers. It can therefore be difficult to choose the right product. VNMshop is happy to help you, so we offer you extensive information about this type of sports supplement. That can help you make your choice. 

What are weight gainers?

Weight gainers are sports supplements designed to help people consume more calories. The products are made in such a way that they contain a lot of calories, but it does provide lean body mass when used in combination with sports. Weight gainers usually contain complex carbohydrates, which are supplemented with a certain form of protein. Some products also contain fats and sugars. 

Do you want to gain more lean muscle mass? A weight gainer can help you, thanks to a concentrated source of calories from carbohydrates and proteins. 

How does a weight gainer work?

By adding a weight gainer to your diet, you can increase the number of calories you consume each day. This will eventually increase your body weight. In combination with resistance training, you can increase your muscle mass thanks to the extra proteins. To grow muscles you need proteins, that is well known to most people. During strength training, small tears occur in the muscles. These recover during rest, proteins are then used to repair the muscles. They will even grow bigger to adapt to the new impulses.

However, it is not known to many people that you can only gain muscle mass during a calorie surplus. Are you getting too few calories? Then the body will use the proteins in your diet for energy. There is then little protein left to allow the muscles to grow larger. To grow muscle mass, you must therefore eat enough calories. A weight gainer can help with this. 

How do you choose the weight gainer that suits you?

There are many weight gainers on the market. Are you going to use a weight gainer for the first time? Then it is understandable that you do not know very well which one to choose. Weight gainers come in different price ranges, and some are of higher quality than others. VNMshop considers offering quality very important.

• Nutritional value: All weight gainers contain carbohydrates and proteins, but often in different proportions. Some weight gainers also include fats. The choice can therefore also depend on the number of calories that the weight gainer offers, the carbohydrate-protein ratio and whether it contains any fats;
• The quality of the ingredients: What sources do the carbohydrates come from and does the product contain many additives? There are weight gainers that contain a lot of fast sugars, which are best avoided if you want lean mass.
