Weight gainers according to biological standards - mode of action and composition
These are primarily made up of the macronutrients protein and carbohydrates, but less so of fats. In this context, proteins are helpful for building muscle mass during intensive training. By building muscle mass, the user can gain body weight quickly and easily, as muscle mass has a much higher density than body fat. The carbohydrates contained in the gainer primarily serve as a source of energy to supply muscle building with energy. As a rule, these are mainly short-chain carbohydrates that are quickly available to the body - for example simple sugars or maltose in the form of dextrose or maltodextrin.
The advantage of short-chain carbohydrates is not only the immediate provision of energy for muscle building and the associated ana-bolic metabolic state, but also the possibility of storing excess energy in fat deposits, which can lead to additional weight gain. This is made possible by the increase in blood sugar levels due to the increase in short-chain carbohydrates. The subsequent release of the hormone transports the free glucose into the respective muscle cells, where it can then be used to build muscle.
In addition to the ingredients mentioned, many weight gainers also contain active ingredient combinations of creatine and various amino acids such as glutamine. The body's own acid creatine promotes increased water storage in the muscle cells and ensures increased muscle performance, which can lead to stronger training stimuli and therefore more adaptation. In this context, glutamine supports the replenishment of glycogen stores after training, which leads to improved metabolism of short-chain carbohydrates.
Using weight gainers for more muscle mass, to gain weight and as a meal replacement
The extensive nutrient pool and high calorie density make weight gainers particularly interesting for strength athletes and bodybuilders. In terms of macronutrients, gainers generally consist of 20 percent protein and 70 to 80 percent carbohydrates. As these contain a relatively high energy intake with a low meal volume, muscle and strength building can be optimally supported by this dietary supplement. Gainers offer extensive advantages, especially for athletes with a fast metabolism or an ectomorphic physique.
Gainers can be used practically for this target group in the form of powders or ready-made drinks and thus serve as a meal replacement or snack. To ensure that the ingredients in the weight gainer are available as quickly as possible, they should be consumed with water and not with milk, as the milk fat contained in milk prevents rapid absorption. By consuming it after training, the glycogen stores emptied during training can be quickly replenished so that they can support muscle building in the best possible way. However, weight gainers can be used throughout the day by the relevant user group - for example before training, as well as after training or as a snack between meals. Gainers are also suitable for users who want to gain weight in general.
