Full disclosure - I work there, so consider me biased, but here's a post I put up on another board in response to another question.

I should mention that I recommended it to a friend of mine who lives in Burlington who is a dentist, 33 years old, and has tried everything to gain weight over the years with little or no success. I put together a program for him and recommended QuickMass and a few other supps - he was ecstatic to report that he had gained 10 lbs in about 2 weeks.

Here is the quote from the other post - the question the user asked was basically, was 4 scoops required, or could you get away with fewer than 4.

"You can cut it back, as ALLMAX USA mentioned, many do when they want to get the macronutrient profile QuickMass has without getting a full 1010 calories.

That being said the research - you can find the study here - PubMed reference can be found on the QuickMass site
- indicates that two meals equaling 2010 calories in combination with resistance training provided 4.5 times the fat-free mass when compared against the placebo group that engaged in equivalent resistance training with out the high calories Protein/Carb/Lipid macronutrient profile. By calorie, the macronutrient profile used was a ratio of - 2.5 Protein (212 cal) : 8.5 Carb (712 cal) : 1 Lipid (81 cal) per serving.

QuickMass closely replicated this California State University research protocol with Protein 54g (216 cal) : Carbohydrate 168g (672 cal) : Lipid 14g (126 cal) per serving. A ratio closely matching the Cal State study while dropping the calories coming from fat and carbs and increasing the calories coming from protein.

The lipids/fats used come from Clarinol brand CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), flax (polyunsaturated omega 3), Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) coming from pure coconut oil with zero trans-fat. Enzyme Modified Sunflower Oil Powder ( 4.9g), Hi-MCT Coconut Oil Powder (4.7g), Medium Chain Triglyceride Powder (2.5g), Vitamin E (102mg), Borage Oil Powder (80mg), Flax Seed Oil Powder (20mg) ClarinolTM Conjugated Linoleic Acid Powder (CLA) (10mg).

The protein complex is a sustained-release 8 protein blend, (Whey Protein Concentrate ( 44.4g), Whey Protein Isolate (5.1g), Micellar Casein (4.7g), Calcium Caseinate (2.9g), Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Concentrate (2.6g), Egg Albumen (1.3g), Milk Protein Isolate (0.6g), Sodium Caseinate (0.4g).

The carb source is one of the most interesting blends, comprised of 5 DE Maltodextrin ( 135.6g), Fructose (19.9g), Fibersol-2TM (Resistant Maltodextrin) (5.1g). The DE stands for "Dextrose Equivalent" which indicates the length of the polymer saccharide, put more simply, instead of being a simple easily digestible sugar, 5 DE Maltodextrin is a very slow digesting carbohydrate allowing your digestive tract to benefit from the "caloric drip" effect over a much longer period of time.

Here's a quick explanation:
"Maltodextrin (C6H10O5)n.H2 O is a polymer of saccharides; nutritive, not sweet that consists of glucose units primarily linked by a-1,4 glucosidic bounds, with DE (dextrose equivalent) values lower than 20. The DE is expressed as a percentage of glucosidic bound hydrolysis, showing its reducing power. The dextrose used as standard in this study is starch (DE=0) and glucose (DE=100)6,7,8. Several physical and functional properties, such as sweetness, compressibility and viscosity vary according to the extent of starch hydrolysis, which is characterized by DE determination."

So, to bring it back to the question, yes - you can definitely reduce the number of scoops depending on your mass gaining goals and due to the exceptional macronutrient profile still benefit heavily from it's use."


Definitely eager to hear from other users who have tried the supplement though.

i would really be interested in the program you recommended and supps, at all posible to see bro? im slowly gaining weight and would like to gain some more before i trim down for the summer. i was thinking Quick mass and Horse power to gain some more size. but again would like to see what you suggested!

Sure - I'll put it together later on and post it for you. Send me a private message with your weight, height, length of time training, your present supps and your goals.
