MusclePharm: Combat XL Mass Gainer

MusclePharm Combat XL Mass Gainer is the Colorado based brand's latest product aimed at athletes seeking to enhance muscle mass and pack on weight quickly.

Essential Facts About Combat XL Mass Gainer

Weight gainers are most frequently used by ectomorphic types with lower than average appetites or higher than average metabolisms. As a consequence, these individuals really struggle to eat enough and even if they do force feed themselves a lot of calories, too often they will rely on junkfood that is nutritionally void of value.

Combat XL Mass Gainer therefore aims to achieve a few key things:

1. By packing in 1250 calories and 50g of protein, it provides the equivalent of two meals worth of macros in a single shake.
2. Coming in a liquid form, it is far easier to consume this amount of calories and protein than if trying to eat the same amount in a meal.
3. Keeping empty calories at a minimum - Combat XL Mass Gainer does this by only having 16g sugar per serving and very little fats. Instead of sugars, Combat XL Mass Gainer uses quality carb sources such as sweet potato, rice and quinoa to provide slow energy release and thus helps maintain stable insulin levels.
4. This gainer is also a rich source of healthy fats (MCT's and flaxseed), superfoods like alfalfa and chia seed as well as enzymes to improve digestion of all the calories in each shake.

Combat XL Mass Gainer vs Alternative Ways of Bulking Up

The truth is, there is no need as such for a weight gainer if you can consume enough quality calories, protein and nutrients from regular food but given how many hardgainers never seem able to gain weight (or gain poor quality weight), there is a need for a supplement like Combat XL Mass Gainer to provide a quality source of nutrients.

We do think that users may want to adjust the serving sizes based on how much they exercise, as even complex carb sources still need you to burn enough calories off to be able to utilise them correctly. However, if real food diets are too hard to consume in adequate quantities and you do not want to go near some of the sugar-laden bulking supplements out there, then Combat XL Mass Gainer definitely fits many of the requirements for a high quality weight gainer.
