NOW Sports Nutrition, Carbo Gain Powder (Maltodextrin), Rapid Absorption, Energy Production, 8-Pound

Not quite sure

I just got an 8lb tub of this cause I heard from a friend I workout with that it works well for putting on weight. I've taken it for the last 2 days and i've been having an upset stomach and diarrhea. Been having to hit the Pep and imodium.. Not fun. Going to try to power through maybe my body just isn't used to it but if this continues i'll have to stop taking this. Anyone else had a similar experience? Update: Have now been taking this for about 2 weeks. Upset stomach has gone away only had it for the first 2 days. I've now been taking this daily with my pre-workout and another scoop at night i'll update again when done with the container

This product is superb. I was one weight on minute and three weeks later my jeans fits me like I desire to fit. My bust line has volume. I will be purchasing another "bottle". I my goal weight is a 117-120 lbs. I was at 105 lbs I am now at 111 lbs. My metabolism shot up with my first child and I could not keep my weight and I do not have a big appetite therefor e I cannot retain my weight. However... carbo gain is doing the trick

$3/gal Super Sports Drink

This stuff is a great carb. supplement to my diet and for cycling. It has no taste so it can be mixed into anything and here is how I make it since it's a pain to mix in cold liquid. 1. Put 1 Gallon filtered water on stove to boil. 2. Boil, kill heat, and stir in Six Servings (2/3 cup scoops) 3. Stir and let cool. 4. Pour into gallon jug and throw in refrigerator. This will yield a gallon jug that has: 1,500 Calories 378g. Carbohydrate 12g. Sugar PER OUNCE: 11.7 Calories 2.95 Carbs. This is tasteless so you can mix it with Gatorade or anything else. I simply calculate out my needs and put the amount needed by ounce into my water bottle. Add 10-16 ounces to your Gatorade and it gives it a good boost

3rd bag in. 1100 cal shake recommendation.

If you are reading this you are either a gym rat or desperately trying to put on some pounds on a Ectomorph frame. I can not stress enough before starting this you need to learn how to count/ balance Macros and calories if you want to gain quality muscle over flab. Do some reading on Macros then find a app to track your food. I use myfitness pal app to help with that. my two shakes a day easily shaken ( a little clump sometimes on the CarboGain) is 8oz of whole milk, two scoops of ON chocolate protein, one protein scoop of carbo gain, and some olive oil (you wont taste it). This will give you about 1100 calories easy to drink at 35% Carbs, 20% Fat, 45% Protein and won't make you sick to your stomach from feeling over full like most Mass gainer powders. For the CarboGain you hardly can taste it when you mix it into your shakes, it may clump a little at times if you just hand shake but throw this recipe into a blender and it mixes with ease

Weightlifting or not, avoid this gainer

This product is pure maltodextrin, sugar refined from corn. It has a high glycemic index and a high insulin index. That means you'll quickly develop insulin resistance, forcing your body to store it in fat cells and your liver (fatty liver disease). I had no idea it was so dangerous. I read a lot of positive reviews here on how much weight it helped people put on who were weight lifting. Turns out that added weight was mostly fat. After consuming about 20% of the 12 pounds bag, I had to seriously research what was causing the rapid fat percentage increase, and lack of muscle gain. Word of advice: reduce your sugar and carbohydrate intake to restore your insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance stops natural muscle building, in addition to a myriad of detrimental health issues over time. It's been a wild 2 months, but I'm glad I now have a clearer picture of how my very high carb diet has prevented me from naturally gaining mass while lifting heavy for the past 3 years

Can't beat cheap carbs for this price

Mixes as well as any other carb gainer out there. I like it better than any glyco maize I have bought before. This is just as effective, if not more effective. Mixes well with others. I would avoid shaker ball cups though (at least take the ball out). This stuff has a tendency to cling to the shaker ball like a needy ex girlfriend

good supplement, good company

I have used several productsfrom this company and have always been pleased with the low price and excellent quality. They make all sorts of stuff( check out thier website.) Carb powder is a simple and inexpensive way to make your own weight gain shakes or just taken alone to add extra calories to your diet, manufactured weight gainer is expensive and doesn't last nearly as long as doing it this way. This product was good, just wish they would put it in a solid container cuz the bag is a pain in the a** to deal with, but worth the money

Perfect for cycling mix – a great value

I've been using this along with fructose and an electrolyte tab to make my own cycling drink mix. This product has no flavor at all and comes in a huge tub. Great value for the money. Much cheaper than buying pre-made mix
