You can’t argue
with a 1000cal shake! The protein and carb levels are pushed to the max, I can’t
imagine anyone wanting more than 1000cal in a shake. This is clearly geared as a
postworkout shake but you could use it at any time of day.
The carbs and protein
are made up with fast and slow digesting elements to fuel recovery and growth. Creatine and Glutamine have been included but are lightly dosed so you will want another source in your supplement plan.
Taste
I had Double Chocolate and I’m not a
massive fan of chocolate shakes but this was one the better ones, it wasn’t
bitter or sickly but easy to drink and had a nice smooth texture. Its rare that
a mass gainer mixes well but this was very good and came out perfect unless you
left it too long then it needed a bit of a reshake (thats a real word!).

Results
This review is a simple one. Does it add
mass?
Yes...
So we’re done here right? Well not quite
there are a few things to take into consideration.
First the nutritional profile: I would have
like to seen a few more grams of healthy fats in there and some more Creatine
maybe taking it up to the 3-5g bracket apart from that though it’s a good build
for a mass gainer.
Then the taste: I generally found it to be
a pleasant experience to take my postworkout serving, I tend to hit the gym
early morning so this almost doubled as my breakfast (well first breakfast
anyway) I never struggled to drink it and it never repeated on me.
Efectiv Mass is quite pricey coming in at just
over £3 a serving but a bulking phase is never cheap, neither is a cutting
phase come to think of it, man bodybuilding is an expensive sport.
Efectiv Mass isn’t just good at adding
muscle to your puny frame though it is also an amazing recovery shake, those
heavy weights you lift on a daily basis won’t leave you crippled whilst you
take your postworkout serving.
The only real drawback to Efectiv Mass is
the price apart from that it is a phenomenal Mass Gainer/Recovery Shake/Post
Workout and occasional breakfast. 8.5/10
