SynTsize Mass

/// PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Numerous mass gainers are no more than sugar bombs, containing only a small amount of proteins and a small amount of other expensive ingredients. SynTsize Mass, on the other hand, is an innovative quality gainer which contains the proper ratio of proteins combined with a scientific blend of muscle strengtheners. The combination of Creapure® creatine and beta-alanine optimizes the ATP- and the Lactic Acid Energy System. The formula is completed with a full dose of HMB.

SynTsize Mass delivers 950 kCal per daily serving, however it contains very little sugar and fat. SynTsize Mass is not only incredibly efficient, it also tastes extraordinarily well.

Suited for:

• Each type of athlete who has difficulty to gain muscle mass (hard gainer)

• Each type of athlete or person who want to gain weight

• Fitness / Body Building

/// RECOMMENDED USE

1 serving = Mix 3 scoops (125g) with 350-400ml of water. Take 2 servings per day, every day of the week.

On Training Days: take 1 serving between meals and 1 serving after your workout.

On Non-Training Days: take 1 serving in the morning between meals and 1 serving in the afternoon between meals.

/// ACTIVE INGREDIENTS PER DAILY SERVING (2 x 125g)

Time Release Protein Matrix

This matrix contains a whole range of amino acids and proteins, each with its specific absorption rate ranging from extremely fast absorbing (Whey Protein Isolate) to fast digesting compounds (Whey Protein Concentrate) over medium (Egg Protein) and slowly digesting substances (Micellar Casein). Protein contributes to a growth of muscle mass.⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ Each serving contains 26g of protein and 5.8g BCAAs.

Maltodextrin

This high quality carbohydrate is fast-digested and quickly replenishes the glycogen stocks. After a workout, our body breaks down muscular tissue to convert amino acids into glucose in order to produce energy. First priority is to increase carbohydrate levels and stop this process. Hard gainers benefit the most from a shake rich in carbohydrates combined with at least 25g of protein per serving. When combined with protein, maltodextrins can enhance glycogen recovery and stimulate muscle protein synthesis after exercise.⁽⁴⁾ Each serving contains 85g of carbohydrates.

Creapure® Creatine⁽⁵⁾⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾

Creatine promotes physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.⁽⁸⁾ Our goal is to provide the safest and most effective creatine in the world. When it comes down to purity, safety and effectiveness, no other type of creatine can level up with Creapure®, patented and recognized worldwide as the benchmark for creatine quality. Each daily serving contains 4g Creapure® creatine.

Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is a lactic acid buffer which increases carnosine concentrations in the muscles.⁽⁹⁾ Increased concentrations of carnosine allow a number of biochemical mechanisms to postpone muscle fatigue in an efficient way. It also has positive effects on the explosive and peak power during long physical efforts, and it increases training capacity and energy levels.⁽¹⁰⁾⁽¹¹⁾⁽¹²⁾ Beta-alanine also improves muscle recovery of power athletes, it stimulates intramuscular blood flow and improves stamina.

To optimize the use of the different energy systems, beta-alanine is often combined with creatine. This combination is more efficient on strength performance, developing lean muscular mass and burning fat than creatine alone.⁽¹³⁾ Each daily serving contains 4g beta-alanine. This can cause mild tingling (paresthesia), which is temporary and harmless.

HMB (Hydroxy-Methyl-Butyrate)

HMB is a naturally produced substance in the human body through the metabolism of the amino acid l-leucine. However, only approximately 5% of dietary l-leucine is being converted in HMB and we can find HMB only in very small amounts in certain foods, like avocados, asparagus, grapefruit and cauliflower. Therefore supplementation with HMB can be recommended. It stimulates muscle building and inhibits muscle protein break down and therefore can improve hypertrophy (muscle building), strength and power in athletes.⁽¹⁴⁾⁽¹⁵⁾⁽¹⁶⁾⁽¹⁷⁾

Research also has pointed out the synergistic interaction between HMB and creatine. A number of test subjects who took HMB in combination with creatine developed more muscular mass and strength than the other test subjects who only took creatine during their workout.⁽¹⁸⁾ Each daily serving SynTsize Mass contains 3g HMB.
