Performix: Pro Gainer+ Review
I'm back with a supplement review! This time it's a weight gainer powder by Performix called Pro Gainer Plus. This is a unique product because it uses TERRA intelligent dosing technology to provide the best bioavailability for each ingredient, and yes, there are added extras in this weight gainer. This is a multiphase mass gainer designed to give you time released glutamine and a multiphase carb blend that I will touch upon later. But before I get into my opinion on the taste, mixability, and value, let's take a look at the ingredient list.

A healthy fat source.
The protein blend starts with a lower quality protein called whey protein concentrate, but then goes into higher quality proteins such as whey protein isolate and whey protein hydrolysate. The carb blend is literally perfect; it features whole food carb sources such as Carb10 and ModCarb. Then it has fast digesting carbs like dextrose and maltodextrin. The downside to this product is that it has a lot of sugar, but other than that this is an amazing ingredient panel for a mass gainer and the added extras are fantastic. I personally am gonna take this product twice a week after heavy bench day and deadlift day. I believe this product will help you gain mass and get strong as hell.
The Rest...
Now for taste, I have the peanut butter brownie flavor and I must say it is very very yummy, 5 out of 5. The mixability is decent, some chunks. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5. For value, this product retails for 14 bucks for 10 servings which for what your getting, is an EXTREMELY GOOD value for a mass gainer. If you are looking to put on muscle and gain strength then this is definitely the product for you. I highly recommend this. The only downsides are sugar and the first ingredient on the protein list is whey protein concentrate, but this product is so worth it. Although again, the sugar content might deter some. Anyways I hope this helps you decide whether or not to buy this product. Have a great day and if you hit the gym FREAKIN' KILL IT!
