PVL Clean Mass XL does it differently — 25 real food ingredients, 1,120 calories and 60g of complete protein per two daily servings, built on a base of fermented pea starch instead of sugar, with protein from whey, milk, fermented pea and sprouted pumpkin seed. Zero added sugar, zero artificial colours or flavours, Informed Choice drug tested.

Fermented pea starch is a resistant starch that digests in the gut rather than spiking blood glucose. The result is better absorption, less bloating, a low glycaemic response, and carbohydrate calories that actually support lean mass rather than working against it. It's also the reason Clean Mass XL sits better on the stomach than most competitors at high serving volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 25 Real Food Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProteins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Isolate, Fermented Pea Protein, Sprouted Pumpkin Seed Protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClean carbs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented Pea Starch, Organic Quinoa, Brown Rice, Sweet Potato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHealthy fats:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCT Oil (coconut), Avocado, Flaxseed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreens \u0026amp; micronutrients:\u003c\/strong\u003e pH-balancing veggie blend including spinach, broccoli and kale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digestive enzymes, full-spectrum electrolytes, natural flavour systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Developed using global flavour producers — the same supplier network used by premium ice cream brands — combining 4–6 flavour ingredients per variant for a genuine milkshake-like taste, not the floury, overly-sweet experience of cheap gainers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInformed Choice Tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePVL has been Informed Choice certified for over 25 years — one of the most sustained clean sport commitments in the supplement industry. Clean Mass XL is third-party tested for banned substances, making it suitable for competitive athletes, tested sport organisations and anyone who needs verified purity at a high calorie product level. Every ingredient is also tested for heavy metals to both Health Canada and US FDA standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClean Mass XL vs Standard Mass Gainers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost NZ-available mass gainers use sugar as their primary calorie source and generic maltodextrin for carbs — fine for a dirty bulk, poor for anyone who wants to gain lean mass without excess fat accumulation. Clean Mass XL is built specifically for clean bulking: real food carbs, four protein sources, healthy fats and micronutrient support. Compare with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mutant-mass-extreme-2500-6lb\"\u003eMutant Mass Extreme 2500\u003c\/a\u003e — a higher-calorie dirty gainer (2,450 calories, no sugar-alternative carbs) — if your priority is maximum calorie surplus over ingredient quality.

For the full daily protocol (1,120 calories, 60g protein), use 2 scoops across two servings. Start with 1 scoop to assess digestive tolerance before moving to the full serving — even clean gainers at high volumes can cause gut discomfort if you jump straight to full dose. Best used post-workout and between meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this suitable for clean bulking?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — that's specifically what it's designed for. The fermented pea starch carb base, real food ingredient list and balanced fat profile make Clean Mass XL the cleanest high-calorie mass gainer we stock. If you want maximum calories without concern for ingredient quality, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mutant-mass-extreme-2500-6lb\"\u003eMutant Mass Extreme 2500\u003c\/a\u003e is the higher-calorie alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it contain sugar?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZero added sugar — the sweetness comes from the flavour system and natural ingredients, not sugar. It's one of the key differences from standard mass gainers, where sugar is frequently the primary carbohydrate source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is pea starch fermented?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation breaks down the anti-nutrients naturally present in pea starch, improving digestibility, reducing bloating and enhancing the resistant starch properties that support a low glycaemic response. It's a meaningful processing step that differentiates it from raw pea starch alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for drug-tested athletes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Informed Choice certified and third-party tested for banned substances across all PVL products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it cause bloating?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than most mass gainers at equivalent calorie counts — the fermented pea starch and added digestive enzymes specifically address the bloating that high-volume calorie products typically cause. Starting with one scoop and building up is still recommended for new users.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PVL","offers":[{"title":"10Lb \/ Vanilla Ice Cream","offer_id":44249164873817,"sku":null,"price":179.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10Lb \/ Triple Chocolate Cake","offer_id":44249164906585,"sku":null,"price":179.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1513\/5678\/files\/PVLCleanMassXLVanilla.png?v=1785306096","url":"https:\/\/topdognutrition.co.nz\/products\/pvl-clean-mass-xl-10lb","provider":"TopDog Nutrition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
