Scitec Jumbo

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Everybody seeks the magic bullet while ignoring the fact that nothing is more powerful than the consistent consumption of proper amount of total calories, energizing carbs and muscle building protein. Couple this with the fact that many athletes don’t invest time in the proven method of keeping a food log and the best practical solution left for most may be to rely on the daily use of a JUMBO type shake that can really help to take in enough nutrients to progress. With 50 grams of one of the highest quality protein per serving, a large dose of energy dense 6-carb matrix, the nutritional side of the equation is significantly boosted for you by JUMBO!

JUMBO is designed with whey protein. Dietary proteins are the source of nitrogen and indispensable amino acids, which the body requires for tissue growth and maintenance. Therefore, JUMBO contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

JUMBO features our “6-CARB” carbohydrate blend that includes oat flour, Palatinose and native waxy maize food starch. The "JUMBO" extra ingredient matrix provides a good dose of our proprietary “CREA-BOMB multi-component creatine matrix”! At least a 3 g daily dose of Creatine is scientifically proven to increase performance in successive burst of short-term, high intensity exercise like weight training and interval cardio. We also added extra amino acids on top of the amounts coming from protein, including essential ones.

In the “Support complex” you’ll find Magnesium in a dose that contributes to normal protein synthesis, to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal functioning of the nervous system (neurotransmission and muscle contraction including heart muscle), to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to electrolyte balance, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and has a role in the process of cell division. Finally, we also added BioPerine, a patented black pepper extract.

As you can see Jumbo gives you an awful lot of muscle building goodness. First up 50g of protein will kickstart the growth process in even the most stubborn of hardgainers. 143g of Carbs (59g fast acting) makes this an awesome choice for a recovery shake. Creatine is added as is Glutamine, BCAAs and various others bits and pieces to put you in an anabolic state. At 823 calories per serving this is a monstrous gainer.

Taste

I had the Strawberry flavour. It was alright as gainers go, its very thick and very filling as you would expect. It does have some slight mixing problems at the very bottom so you might want to use a blender of sorts for this.

Side Effects

None

Price

£49.29 for 4400g tub with 20 servings in.

Results

Jumbo is all about adding mass. Nothing else. With that in mind Jumbo is a massive success. With out any shadow of doubt Jumbo will add size to your puny frame. Jumbo has been engineered to perfection by Scitec everything is dosed correctly for gaining size.

One of my favourite aspects of Jumbo is the strength gains, I was expecting some size and weight gains but I wasn’t expecting to add much to my lifts which shot up by way more than I had planned. My pumps were improved as well, I think this is due to the amount of carbs that were floating around and the Hemo-No Matrix providing a boost.

Jumbo is certainly at the top of the pile when it comes to mass gainers. It is expensive, which unfortunately all gainers are, but I don’t think it is unreasonably priced considering the sheer amount of quality ingredients that they have packed into it. As the tag line suggests “Jumbo Means Big, Jumbo Means Strong” and certainly hasn’t disappointed. 9/10
