Serious calories are required for serious weight gain, but oftentimes, those who need the extra calories most, have the most difficult time consuming enough of them. For many athletes who aspire to be bigger, highly-active metabolisms and on-the-go lifestyles can make it challenging to consume sufficient calories through whole foods, and also, acidic proteins such as meat, eggs, and dairy make supplemental L glutamine necessary.
For your body to perform optimally, you must maintain a healthy ph balance. When the acid level is too high, the lack of L glutamine can cause symptoms such as muscular contractions and cramping, as well as weakened bones. Depleted blood L glutamine is used as a marker for diagnosing over-training syndrome and can also increase your risk for developing upper respiratory tract infections.
Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass delivers everything you need to build muscle and develop a powerful physique. It is enriched with L glutamine, which has been shown to be useful in the treatment of injuries and trauma, and has also been used as a supplement for muscle growth in bodybuilding, weightlifting, endurance, and other sports for many years. Evidence indicates that when glutamine is taken orally, it may increase plasma HGH levels by stimulating the anterior pituitary gland. Glutamine also has positive effects in reducing healing time after injuries.
Creatine is also included because it occurs naturally in humans and works supply energy to all of the cells in your body, mainly muscle. Choline is added because a deficiency of this nutrient can cause hypertension. Other vitamins and minerals are utilized to help support energy production and provide antioxidants. B vitamins are specifically involved in energy production. They also help to increase the ability to obtain oxygen, and stimulate the nervous and glandular systems, while extending cell lifespan and raising your body's ability to withstand stress. Vitamin B7 assists in many metabolic reactions and also helps to transfer carbon dioxide and maintain a steady blood sugar level. Vitamin A is important as a growth factor for your sells and tissues, and vitamins C, D, and E all work as antioxidants, to support your immune system and protect your body from microbial attacks.

Excellence!
Product was as shown..came in several days as expected and worked its wonders as well! Thank you Probiotic!
This product really works.
I am a skinny guy, trying to gain weight. I was having great workouts at the gym, but my weight just was not showing that. A friend of mine suggested this to me, but I was skeptical at first. I read more into this product and decided to give it a try. After two months of consistent working out and a serving of serious mass everyday, I have gained 12 pounds. My lifting weight at the gym is going up. I feel pumped when I work out. This is a great product for anyone who is trying to put on mass.
serious mass + serious working out = serious gain in weight!
great results from once a day use
The serving suggestion for this product is 2 scoops, equivalent to 2 bags a month when used daily. I used one scoop a day, every day for a month, I have gained about 10 pounds. In fairness I also supplement with creatine, so some of the weight gain may be due to that. However, I have been taking creatine for a while and was stuck at 150/155 lbs. After a month of taking this I hit 165 for the first time in my life. Furthermore, I think the weight gain can be attributed to this because my figure does not look bloated like with creatine, I look like I've got substance.
Long of the short, if you are serious about gaining weight, and you know that caloric intake is a problem this is perfect. Even taking 1/2 the amount every day for a month you will see results. It helps you get the reccomened amount of protein daily and gives you the calories you need to fuel your body.
