Muscle Building Supplements and Weight Gainers, Create Your Own

By Ricardo d Argence

The price range of weight gainers are surprisingly expensive. You may want to consider making it yourself if you are very thin and are looking to gain weight. It's important to know and understand the nutritional information in order to get up to your desired weight.

In nutrition and supplement stores you can find weight gainers formula. They usually have a picture of a bodybuilder or an arm full of muscle mass. These weight gainer products are intended to help you the weight needed to produce the gain in muscle mass you want.

Realize that different people need differently-designed weight gainers. For example, a bodybuilder has the weight they want but they are working for more muscle mass to what they already have. Skinny people need to be aware that they must add meat to their body and then they may build muscle mass.

Creating your own weight gainer is a pracitcal solution and may even save you some money. This is simple and probably best for your body afterall. Protein along with the quality of the protein are both very important when it comes to weight gainers as some weight gainers have a higher quality protein than others do.

It is pretty typical for the Isolate whey powder to rank high, however, the plain whey powder ranks low. Soy is even lower than the two. This is in terms of the quality of the protein. Casein, a high quality protein supplement, is definitely worth consideration for adding to weight gainer as it is best for slow digestion and not rapid consumption.

Carbohydrate breakdown is crucial thing you will need to break down your own weight gainer. Your primary source of carbohydrates must be maltodextrin so, your muscle glycogen stores will be refilled in a most efficient form.

If a weight gainer has a large amount of fructose or any type of sugar, don't use it. It will only cause you to crash hard with fatigue, a headache, and possibly jitters, that's why you need to be sure the sugar content is as low as possible.

You can make you very own weight gainer at home if you are looking to gain weight quickly on a budget. This is a really easy process you can do. You will be required to mix together the best protein with maltrodextrin.These can be found at your local vitamin or supplement shop and even a grocery store. Shakes with raw oats added are the way to go--in one simple step you add calories to your beverage and effectively extend the burn length of the carbohydrates.

Drinking your weight gaining shake is ideal right after a good workout. You can add more calories and have a higher fat intake. The shake will be steadily digested over time so that nutrients are supplied to the muscles over a sustained period. - 16887
