CytoSport Cyto Gainer Protein Powder, Chocolate Fudge, 54g Protein, 6 Pound

I'm a naturally thin guy and I've been on a mission to put on some muscle weight these past few years. I've tried various different weight-gain formulas from different companies. The last one I was using regularly was BSN True-Mass. I liked this product, but it crept up in price, but also sometimes would react negatively with my stomach. I decided to try the Cyto Gainer and boy was I surprised when I first mixed up a shake.First of all, the taste totally surprised me. It actually tasted good. Not like "yeah, it's drinkable", I mean, it was actually enjoyable. This is by far the first gainer I've used that legitimately tastes good. Even the better tasting gainers I've used (like True-Mass) gets to a point where it's a chore to drink, choking it down at times. This one mixes up super smooth (shocking considering how much powder is in 4 scoops) and the taste of the Chocolat Malt was actually rather good. It's certainly the first weight-gain shake I looked forward to drinking.So next, how it reacts with my body. This is probably even more important than the taste. This product has never left me feeling bloated or have any ill-effects with my digestive track. Sometimes other products would run right through me or give me terrible gas and make me feel sick. I do not like talking about that kind of thing, so I won't go into details, but let's just say it was unpleasant. I just finished one 6 pound tub of this gainer, and I've got nothing but good experience.So to finish off... I'm seeing results too. I've just finished the first tub of this, but I've put on about 7 pounds. For somebody like me who has an incredibly difficult time putting on weight, that's pretty damn good. I can visually see that I'm shaping better than before too. I think part of it is due to the fact that it actually stays in my body every time I drink it, which wasn't always the case with other products. So, here I am... ordering more Cyto-Gainer.

My body-type meets the definition of an 'ectomorph' and I have continually struggled to gain weight through exercise and diet alone. I am a tall (6’ 3”) and skinny 38 year old that has been a dedicated weight lifter since my early 20s. Unfortunately, some injuries and poor eating habits have stifled my development throughout my life, but I decided to take a new approach about a year and a half ago when I decided to start lifting again - I decided I was going to tailor my strength training and diet for my body-type (hard-gainer). I lift 4 days/week and typically do a lot of hiking, biking, volleyball, etc. on my off days.After once again reaching my threshold in muscle development and weight gain, I started counting my calories and quickly realized I was not getting the proper nourishment to advance my development to the next levels. I started eating 6-8 times/day; focusing on my protein intake. That helped a little.... but, then I started using the Cyto Gainer protein shakes about 6 months ago and it has made all the difference! In fact, I have had such noticeable positive effects, I started using one after my workout and then another before bed, which gets me to the proper dosage of calories/protein that I need in a day to reach my weight gaining goals.I have tried a few other protein shakes and they can’t even be compared to Cyto Gainer – the taste and texture is superior and it doesn’t upset my stomach like its competitors. I should mention that I am a celiac and I haven’t experienced any allergic reactions to gluten, so I can attest that this truly is a gluten-free product.When I started my weight training, I was at 157 pounds. Through lifting and diet, I got up to 164 pounds and my weight gain leveled off. After using the protein shakes, I am now up to 173 pounds and I've only been using two shakes per day for about a month. This is the most I’ve weighed my whole life! And, its all lean muscle – I am trimming the fat around my mid-section while building solid muscle – I look and feel better than I ever have. I would definitely recommend this product to any other hard-gainers/ectomorphs out there that are continually disappointed with the results they’re getting from all their hard work on the bench.

I’ve been using this weight gainer for about a year, inconsistently at first(I’d go through about a tub in about 2.5-3 month, to about a tub every 1-1.5 months). I refrained from reviewing it until I was sure I was satisfied with it. As an extremely scrawny 20 year old kid, 5’5 100 pounds when I started, I was severely underweight from the recommended 122-150 pounds I should be weighing. I ate big meals but was never able to gain any serious weight, I drank it daily, even if I didn’t work out. What resulted was a funny looking gut on a skinny guy. Therefore I stopped taking it, inexperience made me believe it was the product, so I changed to a different type(disgusting taste but I made myself take it), obviously, the results were the same. Clearly it only works well when you give your body a good workout, so I stopped taking it religiously, and only doing it when I worked out. That cut out the gut, but since I didn’t really workout much, the difference was miniscule, 105-110 was about what I seemed to fluctuate around. Recently, for about 2-3 months now, I began to take more importance on my weight and appearance, I have been working out heavy consistently, eating plenty of food consistently, and using this product consistently as well. I very easily packed on 20 pounds in these short few months. Im at a much more healthy 130 now, feel and look much better. I’ve been lifting much more seriously now and still look skinnier than most people my height that weight 130, but I have packed on lots of muscle, so I’m planning on continuing til I’m at about 150-160 pounds where I should be looking much more healthy and much more muscular. That being said, I plan on sticking to this product. The taste is great, never had a problem finishing a serving. I strongly recommend using this product if you are serious about gaining weight and aren’t afraid to work for it.
