Nutrition Profile
Avvatar Advanced Muscle Gainer is a classic muscle gainer with a protein-carb ratio of 1:1 (almost). Every serving of 60 grams provides 222 kcal when had with 350 ml of water. If you want to increase the healthy calorie intake, just substitute water with double toned milk to have a calorie intake of 401 kcal.
Protein Complex: Every serving of 60 grams offers 25.5 grams of premium quality cheddar and mozzarella whey. It is the highest in the muscle gainer segment in India so far. The protein complex includes a blend of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and casein. Whey is a fast acting source of protein while casein is slow and hence, the product gives you a sustained protein release for a significant number of hours post consumption. You can increase protein to 37.5 grams per serving by having it with double toned milk.
Healthy Carbs: Every serving gives you 24 grams of healthy carbs. The product employs a blend of simple and complex carbs that refuel your glycogen levels post an exhaustive workout so that your body does not enter a catabolic phase and you do not lose on the muscles. The main carb sources are dextrose and maltodextrin which balance out each other and give a sustainable source of energy without causing a spike in your insulin levels. Having the product with milk will take the carb content to 44.1 grams.

BCAA and Glutamine: Every serving of this muscle gainer provides you with naturally occurring (not added externally) BCAA (5.7 grams) and glutamic acid (4.3 grams). Both the components play a crucial role in muscle synthesis, recovery and growth.
