MuscleBlaze Super Gainer XXL is another one from their catalogue which caters to special and specific needs of the athletes. MuscleBlaze has claimed that Super Gainer XXL is a high calorie formulation designed to offer a ‘guaranteed’ maximum muscle growth.
As per the label, every serving of this supplement offers an impressive 560 kcal that is derived from ‘clean’ sources only. Each serving gives 22.5 grams of protein and 112 grams of complex carbs which, as per the company, ensure a sustained calorie supply. It has also been fortified with 27 vitamins and minerals to allow athletes to enjoy an extra nutritious diet. Today with this review we will assess the product on several essential parameters and find its true worth as a gainer for bodybuilders.
Nutrition Profile
MuscleBlaze Super Gainer XXL, as stated before, is a high calorie formulation. Every serving of 150 gram gives you 560 kcals that have been derived from its high quality protein and plenty of complex carbs.
Protein Complex: Every serving offers 22.5 grams of protein (<15%), which is a blend of slow and fast acting sources. It has whey protein, whey protein concentrate and calcium caseinate. Whey portion, being fast acting, ensures that the exhausted and worn out muscles get a boost of protein immediately after workout. Casein being slow acting ensures that the body continues to get protein hours after consumption.
Complex Carbs: Every serving adds 112 grams of complex carb to your diet. The protein to carb ratio is an impressive 1:5. They keep the body full for long, improve digestion and optimize glycogen levels for having a ferocious session at the gym. The product does not have any sugars or unhealthy carbs.
Multivitamins: Every serving also has 13 vitamins and 14 minerals for an overall nutritious diet. The complex has a special emphasis on vitamin B group. It aims to boost immunity and workout intensity.
Others: The product also has L-glutamine (essential for muscle recovery), medium chain triglycerides (healthy fats) and maltodextrin (low calorie added sweetener) and nature identical flavouring substances.
The other components per serving (approximate figures):
Total Fat: 3.0 grams
Cholesterol: 33 mg
L-Glutamine: 500 mg
Medium chain triglycerides: 750mg
Vitamins per servings:
Vitamin A: 202.5 mcg
Vitamin B1: 337.5 mcg
Vitamin B3: 4.5 mg
Vitamin B6: 0.75 mg
Pantothenic acid: 1.88 mg
Vitamin B2: 375 mcg
Folic acid: 49.5 mcg
Vitamin K: 18 mcg
Vitamin B12: 0.3 mcg
Vitamin C: 15 mg
Vitamin D: 2.80 mcg
Biotin: 9 mcg
Minerals per serving:
Calcium: 112.5 mg
Iron: 7.5 mg
Phosphorus: 90 mg
Iodine: 60 mcg
Magnesium: 7.5 mg
Zinc: 4.5 mg
Sodium: 37.5 mg
Potassium: 4.5 mg
Selenium: 15 mcg
Copper: 0.75 mg
Manganese: 0.75 mg
Chromium: 10.5 mcg
Molybdenum: 9 mcg
Since this is a healthy mass gainer the proportion of complex carbs will always be several times more than that of protein. 22.5 grams of protein is a decent figure however, a little more of protein (24 to 25 grams) would have been appreciable.
Taste
MuscleBlaze has offered the product in two delicious flavours – chocolate and cookies and creams. Users have reacted positively towards the taste of the product.
Effectiveness
The product is designed to allow enthusiasts to gain fast and healthy mass. Users have stated that the product is ‘wonderful’ ‘amazing’, ‘gives great results’, ‘effective’, etc. Only a couple of users mentioned that the product was ‘not useful’, that it ‘did not help’ to gain weight and it was ‘useless’. So, overall, the product has been received well by the audience.
Quality
MuscleBlaze products come with a promise for quality. Super Gainer XXL comes with a product code and mobile number. On receipt of the product, the user needs to send the code on the mobile number given to check for product authenticity. However, a handful of users mentioned receiving tempered products like broken seal (could be due to negligence from the distributor or seller), missing scooper etc.
Side Effects
MuscleBlaze has not mentioned any side effects on the product label or on its official website. However, a couple of users mentioned having stomach problems and ‘barfing’ because of the product.
Price/Value:
It is available in 2 kg and 3 kg jars. A 2-kg jar offers 13 servings (one serving being of 150 grams) and comes for around Rs. 1350. Hence, cost per serving comes to around Rs. 103 which is on the higher side. If you are having 2 servings a day then one jar lasts less than a week. It definitely is not something that can be afforded by every athlete easily.
