Is Mass Gainer good for building muscle?Updated a year ago

Mass gainers may be suitable for fuelling muscle growth if used in conjunction with a relevant workout routine.

Mass gainers provide your body with large volumes of protein, carbs and fat to maximise your calorie intake. If you’re trying to build muscle, using a mass gainer can help in coordination with a specific workout routine that will stimulate your muscles. Your workouts need to be frequent enough that your body will send those extra calories toward building your muscles.

It’s also essential to ensure that your body gets enough rest to allow your muscles to recover. It may take some experimentation to find what works best for you, but the general idea is to continually challenge your muscles so that your body sends the nutrients from your mass gainer to your muscles(Naked Nutrition, 2020).
