Hench Pro Hi-Calorie Mass Gainer 4kg - Vanilla

By far the best tasting shake ever!!! The only suggestion I would have is use a blender as if you hand shake it with say a mix ball you will get a powder bit in your mouth and give you an aftertaste you will never forget.. I give 4 stars only for the use of sucralose which is a very grey area sugar substitute. Its basically the new aspartame that every weight gainer and protein shake is now using.. Several science experiments on rats has shown tumor growth and cancer as well as enlargening of the organs.. However most of the sucralose doesn't stay in the body for long depending on how much there is but that we don't know... On regards to performance I have no idea yet as i've used for 2 days I will re edit later to comment on this. I have a very fast metabolism and my weight is going from 11 -12 stone all the time, hopefully this will help consistent weight gain. Can not emphasise the great taste, however it does fill you up a lot which is one thing I have to say and I only drink half of the 160g suggested serving and I struggle to drink it all.I recommend using half servings in the morning and after workout. Unless you can handle the full serving then I salute you, but be aware that you can only use 30 grams of protein an hour any more of that will be wasted i.e. using the full 160g and 55 grams of protein. Another reason why I split the serving. Never tried vanilla shakes before and usually go for strawberry but im happy I chose vanilla here.. With very cold milk it tastes like melted ice cream very thick texture. I use semi skimmed milk. Beware of lumps though if you don't use a blender... Oh also I got a free drink bottle which was unexpected and nice :)

Having just ordered my 2nd batch I can say with confidence that this stuff (in conjunction with my new workout regime) has worked well for me thus far.Taking a shake about an hour after each meal, in the last month my weight has increased just shy of a stone.I think it's important to note that my workouts have me 'burning/aching' every time. Not sure how key this is to my body absorbing the protein but I have used protein in the past with poor results. I rarely pushed myself back then though.Also worth mentioning is that I use 3/4 of their recommended measure per shake with slightly more liquid. I tried 2 scoops in 300ml of water (their recommendation on the tub) and it was practically solid in consistency. 330ml and 1.5 scoops gives a nice smooth viscosity that's a lot easier to down.I really like their vanilla flavour too. I have yet to try one with milk but with cold water they are very palatable and have become something I look forward to every time.Initially bought this because of the low price and large size, will buy out of preference now.Edit 2:I would advise upon delivery that you get a wooden spoon and give the contents a good stir before use because the 2nd batch I have, initially tasted very different to the first (It carried a slightly chalky taste and a stodgier texture). After stirring the contents it was a lot sweeter, more flavoursome, smoother in texture and generally in-line with the first batch.Edit 3: [New Packaging]Before, it would arrive in a box which was virtually the same size as the tub and in my experience the delivery driver would hand it over in an orientation that had the tub on its side.Now though the box is much bigger, the tub now stands upright during transit and is suspended and surrounded by air-pillows. Consequently I didn't need to stir this batch. So-far it tastes perfect and is consistently smooth.It mixes perfectly of-late too; I don't get any lumps any more.

I ordered this in a bid to gain weight and help muscle growth. I've used it in conjuction with a calorie counter and I've gained a fairly brilliant (as someone who has massive difficulty gaining weight) 12lbs in 3 weeks.I have two shakes a day using two scoops to make up an extra 1000 calories. I found that with four scoops and 600mls of milk that it makes me too bloated and not want to eat anything else. So, if you're struggling, split it into two milkshakes that you can spread over the day.The vanilla one tastes okay but I definitely prefer the chocolate one.Price wise you won't find anything better for the price offered. This lasts me almost a month and I think that's pretty decent for £36.They also sent a sample "cookie" flavour sachet that I have yet to try, which is very kind of them.

Positive:- It arrived within 2 days, i received texts alerting me about the right time.- It easily mixes with water or whatever milk you wanna use, tastes good and leaves you full. A bit too sweet maybe for my taste.- Added creatine and glutammine gave me almost immediately a very good feeling when working out.- Despite the negative sides, i was able to take on 300g of bodyweight in one week, quite a bit for a very slow gainer like me.- Great priceNegative:- It was my first whey protein powder. Took it just to try it out, but unfortunately my lactose intolerance is just too bad. I will have to give almost all of it to a friend. So in any case this matters only to me.

After using this product for a number of months I have noticed a massive increase in weight and muscle mass which others have noticed also. I do alot of walking for work and needed the increased calorie intake and couldn't find anything better to do the job especially at the price and how quick this is delivered is second to none. Personally I have a high metabolism and when out I am unable to sit down and have a meal so having this with me in the car is perfect it took straight to muscles in all areas and although I don't have an extreme work out regime this stuff didn't hold back and I put a stone on in a couple of months with no extra fat! If your looking for a gainer to help build muscle mass this is what you need. I prefer the vanilla as has a sweeter taste and use whole milk which helps absorb the protein into your system. Thanks hench for an awesome product.
