Gainer - sports nutrition

Gainer is a sports nutrition that is in demand among lean people, who are trying to quickly increase strength and mass. The main feature of this additive is the abundance of carbohydrates in the composition (up to 70-90%), which allow the athlete to increase the number of repetitions in each approach. The remaining 10-30% is a protein, and it helps to effectively repair muscle tissue. However, such an additive does not suit everyone - read about it below.

Sports nutrition: protein, creatine or geyner?

All these types of additives are very popular and are used for levying muscle mass and increasing endurance. The difference lies in their composition and characteristics:

  1. Protein is a pure protein that first nourishes and restores muscles. It can be taken by both men and women. It is safe for everyone who does not suffer from protein intolerance.
  2. Creatine is a substance synthesized by the body from the amino acids into which the protein is divided. The additive helps to quickly supply muscles with energy, and its main merit is the increase in strength and endurance (especially in those sports where a short, powerful jerk is required - for example, running for short distances).
  3. Gainer - a substance of a different order, the effect of which is a large supply of energy in the course of classes. Taking the supplement, the athlete becomes sturdier and builds up his muscles faster.

It is worth noting that, like any sports nutrition, the geyner does not suit everyone. First of all, it is worth to abandon all those who are inclined to fatness, people with excess weight and women who do not engage in power sports. Because of the abundance of carbohydrates, this food is too high in calories, which means that there is a risk of finding or multiplying fat tissue on the body with the wrong dosage.

Sports nutrition "geyner": how to take?

The composition of this type of supplement requires the use of sports and geyner only together. Otherwise, the appearance of fat is almost inevitable. Experts recommend such options for admission:

  1. Drink a geyner only 15 minutes after training - for a quick recovery of strength.
  2. To drink the geyner before and after training - so in the course of the fatty tissue will not be burned, but the mass will quickly gain weight.
  3. Drink a geyner 3-4 times a day - this scheme only for lean men who want to gain mass as soon as possible.

Gainer often leads to an increase in fat mass, but for those who have a fast metabolism, this effect is not terrible. If you notice that the gain is great - take the supplement only before playing sports.
