Ingredient Label
Active Ingredients
Anabolic Protein Blend
By blending 5 type of protein -hydrolyzed whey peptides, whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, casein and milk protein isolate – Lean Gainer provide a sustained release of amino acids to build muscle for longer.
GlycoForce Carb Complex
The right carbs provide an insulin spike followed by a sustained release of energy.
By blending 5 type of carbs – cane sugar, maltodextrin, waxy maize starch, fruit sugar extract and rice/potato starch – you are covering all bases.
L-Glutamine
The amino acid glutamine gets quickly used up when you’re working out.
Replacing it will quicken recovery and muscle repair.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
The BCAAs are the three essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine.
They are quickly absorbed by the muscle cell and used for muscle repair (1).
Creatine
Creatine is a compound that turns ADP into ATP, the body’s main energy form.
It allows a person to train with more strength, power and endurance (2, 3).
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
CLA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that it is claimed to regulate fat metabolism.
However, there are currently no studies to support this (4).
Who Takes It?
