Taste
Venky’s Mass Gainer comes in 2 flavours – Banana and Chocolate. This supplement is supposed to be had with milk. In fact, there are multiple other ingredients that can be introduced to the shake recipes like dry fruits, ice cream, cookies, etc. Users report that the supplement tastes good enough and mixes well with milk.
Effectiveness
If we go by what users have to say, then the response seems to be good. Many people claim to be happy with the gains and have reported gaining up to 3-4Kgs within 3-4 months. However, it is also mentioned that the results will depend on your overall diet and that the supplement alone will not do the entire job. If one follows a proper diet aimed at gaining healthy weight and incorporates Venky’s Mass Gainer with it, then the results can be seen sooner.
Most users have reported that the supplement tastes very good. However, one of the main ‘dislike’ factors that some people have pointed out is its extremely sugary taste.
Quality
The quality of the product has received ample praises owing to the smooth texture of the powder and its easy-to-mix character. The packaging is quite decent as well with proper seals and tough containers.
Side Effects
The one thing about Venky’s Mass Gainer is that it doesn’t seem to suit everyone. Many users report a bad case of an upset stomach after using the supplement. Some people have even reported stopping the usage of the product and then restarting only to suffer an upset stomach yet again.
These could be attributed to the whey protein component of the supplement. Also, Venky’s Mass Gainer is not gluten free. So, those sensitive to gluten are also susceptible to suffer from these side effects.
Price/Value
Venky’s Mass Gainer is affordable. It is a ‘value for money’ supplement in its segment considering the fact that to most users it has shown good results.
