Another thing is that the concentration of all this wealth the giant — to get her out of the ordinary products, it is necessary to eat a large amount of portions.

As you can see, in the opinion of the doctor even praises the nutritional value gainer. It is really no dangerous components. So if you find comments about what weight gainers — solid synthetics, causing a bunch of dangerous diseases, including cancer, it is not necessary to believe.

Who recommended the acceptance of the

Michael, coach sports medical gymnastics: "the packaging says: "Recommended for rapid weight gain". I want to emphasize that this refers to muscle weight. Naturally, patients suffering from anorexia and wasting, weight gainers can not be accepted. It's not a cure, but a sports Supplement.

I would not recommend this sportpit people with average physical exercise and especially those who go to the gym once or twice a month. Much harm gainer these people will not cause, but they will be a sharp increase in fat. A huge number of calories, which give a weight gainer, is correctly used only when the load is too high — then the weight will occur due to the muscles".
