Effective Weight Gain

Applied Nutrition - Critical Mass - Original is designed for individuals who have difficulty gaining body mass, commonly known as “hard-gainers.” To build muscle and gain weight, it is crucial to consume enough calories and nutrients. Critical Mass offers a calorie-dense formula that contains high levels of protein and carbohydrates per serving. This makes it possible to increase calorie intake and achieve a positive energy balance, which is essential for weight gain.

Optimal Muscle Development and Recovery

For your muscles to grow and recover, they need the right nutrients. Critical Mass contains up to 58.8 grams of high-quality protein per serving. These proteins have a high biological value and act as building blocks for muscle tissue. By providing a rich amount of protein, Critical Mass helps maximize muscle protein synthesis and promotes muscle development. Additionally, the product also contains carbohydrates that fuel the muscles and help prevent muscle breakdown.

High-Quality Proteins and Carbohydrates

Critical Mass contains a carefully selected combination of proteins and carbohydrates to deliver optimal results. The product includes high-quality protein sources with a high biological value, ensuring effective absorption and utilization of amino acids in the body. Additionally, Critical Mass features a precise balance between complex and fast-acting carbohydrates. This combination provides long-lasting energy and helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance in the muscles.

Increased Glycogen Storage and Muscle Pump

An important component in Critical Mass is the high-molecular-weight waxy maize starch (WMS). This carbohydrate source has the ability to replenish the body’s glycogen stores faster than conventional carbohydrates. WMS is absorbed quickly and efficiently in the body, providing an immediate energy supply to the muscles. The result is increased glycogen storage, improved muscle volume, and a noticeable muscle pump that you can feel after training.

Support for Recovery and Physical Performance

Training and physical activity can deplete the body’s resources and increase the need for nutrients for recovery. Critical Mass contains a blend of essential fatty acids, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). These “super fats” provide vital building blocks for the body’s recovery processes and may help reduce inflammation and promote muscle repair. By supporting recovery, Critical Mass can help you perform better during training and achieve your fitness goals.

Research on Effective Weight Gain and Muscle Development

There is extensive research supporting the use of high-quality proteins and carbohydrates for effective weight gain and muscle development. Studies have shown that increasing calorie and protein intake can boost muscle mass and strength in individuals who have difficulty gaining weight. Additionally, research has shown that carbohydrates play an important role in preventing muscle breakdown and providing fuel to muscles during intense training.

Usage Guidance

Critical Mass is recommended for the following groups of people:

• Individuals looking for a calorie-dense weight gain formula
• “Hard-gainers” who struggle to gain weight due to a high metabolism
• Strength athletes, bodybuilders, and weightlifters
• High-energy athletes such as rugby players, boxers, wrestlers, etc.
• Anyone looking to increase muscle mass or improve overall athletic performance
• Aerobic athletes looking to build muscle or increase their strength

It is recommended to mix 2 scoops (about 334 g) of Critical Mass with 500-600 ml of water or milk. For best results, the product should be consumed once a day, either as a high-calorie meal during the day or after training to speed up recovery.

Note: The product is halal-certified and can be used by individuals with specific dietary restrictions.
