The English names of weight gainer powder and muscle gainer powder are the same, WEIGHT GAINER. They both occupy a certain share in the products of major supplement manufacturers. This is a type of high-calorie nutritional supplement, which mainly contains carbohydrates, proteins, various vitamins and trace elements. Some also add creatine, glutamine, branched-chain amino acids, carnitine, methyl chromium, etc. , can maximize the various nutritional elements required by bodybuilders. There is an unwritten saying in China that any protein content above 33% is a muscle-building powder, and anything below 33% is a weight-gaining powder.
Most of the early muscle-building powders were cheap protein powders mixed with different proportions of sugar and fat. The effect can be imagined. However, the formula of current muscle-building powders has been greatly developed. The main ingredients and functions are as follows:
1. Egg whites play a key role in muscle-building powder. Therefore, the choice of protein is mainly related to the biological value of the protein type and the purpose of the user. The higher the biological value, the higher the protein absorption rate; conversely, the slower the absorption rate. Usually users need to get more protein, and high-quality protein.
2. The content of sugar in muscle-building powder is also very important. Although excess sugar can lead to increased pancreatic secretion, sugar can help protein absorption. At the same time, sugar can provide a large amount of calories, promote glycogen synthesis, and reduce protein analysis during exercise. In muscle building powder, the sugar content is generally between 30% and 60%.
3. Both fat and sugar can increase the caloric value of muscle-building powder. Therefore, in the caloric distribution of muscle-building powder, the ratio of calories provided by sugar, protein, and fat is generally 4:2:1.
4. Other ingredients: Creatine can significantly increase muscle volume, thereby increasing lean body mass; glutamine can prevent muscle analysis and promote recovery, and can also stimulate the secretion of synthetic hormones in the body and improve body immunity; vitamin B6 can promote Protein synthesis in the body. In addition, most muscle-building powder formulas add powerful fat-reducing properties such as methyl chromium and L-carnitine, which can effectively reduce the accumulation of fat in the body.
In short, taking muscle-building powder can solve the energy needs that cannot be met by daily diet. Muscle-building powder is easy to consume and tastes good. However, because the ingredients and content of muscle-building powders vary greatly, the effects vary greatly. A good muscle-building powder can maximize the muscle growth of bodybuilders. If the formula of the muscle-building powder is unreasonable, long-term use will not only increase strength, but also cause an increase in body fat. In addition, the use method, dosage and time of muscle-building powder must be scientific and reasonable. If used improperly, it will achieve half the result with twice the result. For bodybuilding enthusiasts, the most important thing is to gain more lean body mass. Therefore, you should pay special attention when choosing muscle-building powderIts ingredients and content as well as scientific usage methods.
