Optimum Nutrition: Gold Standard Gainer

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Gainer expands Optimum's line of Gold Standard series products to the mass gainer category and Optimum have clearly marked this one out as their highest quality mass gainer to date with a higher protein content and superior ingredients to their Serious Mass gainer.

Premium Blend of Proteins

Gold Standard Gainer contains a mix of whey protein, and milk protein which delivers 55g of protein per serving delivering a combination of both fast and slow releasing proteins which helps enhance anabolism for several hours while still providing the body the fast acting capabilities of whey protein. Optimum have not just used cheap forms of these protein sources as Gold Standard Gainer includes the premium quality whey isolate and whey hydrolysate which deliver an enhanced BCAA ratio, less fat and sugar, and improved digestion speed.

Carb Sources Provide Sustained Energy

A criticism of Serious Mass is the overloading of the cheap sugar Maltodextrin. Despite Maltodextrin being not technically classed as a sugar it is simply a bonding of dextrose and maltose in one, neither of which would be our choice for a healthy carb source. Gold Standard Gainer dispenses with this approach and concentrates the carbohydrates in premium sources - oat flour, pea starchm and potato starch.

By using real food sources users of Gold Standard Gainer benefit from an improved nutritional profile as well as avoiding the blood sugar peaks and troughs associated with sugar based products. Instead you can expect a slow, steady release of energy which is best for both performance and recovery.

With the addition of flaxseed proteins, MCT's and Chia Seeds, Gold Standard Gainer ensures health and wellness is taken account of, a rarity among weight gainers and together with the healthy protein and carb sources makes Gold Standard Gainer a cut above previous weight gainers from Optimum Nutrition.
