USN Wholefood Gainer + FREE Slimpacks
FREE Slim PacksUSN Wholefood Gainer 2.5KG — Plant-Based Mass Gainer With Real-Food Carbs
Note-USN Slim pack (dated stock)
Wholefood Gainer takes a different approach to mass gaining. Plant protein, real-food carbohydrate sources and dietary fibre rather than maltodextrin and dairy, delivering the calories needed for lean muscle growth without relying on excessive sugars or fillers. 2.5KG. In stock at TopDog Nutrition.
Why Wholefood Instead of Maltodextrin
Most mass gainers are built on maltodextrin, a cheap, highly processed carbohydrate with a very high glycaemic index. It works, and there are two problems with it.
Digestive comfort. Very high GI carbohydrate in large quantities is a common cause of the bloating and gut discomfort people report from gainers, which is usually why they stop taking them.
Nutritional density. Maltodextrin delivers calories and nothing else. Real-food carbohydrate sources bring fibre, micronutrients and phytonutrients with them.
Wholefood Gainer trades some of the raw calorie punch for a more moderate, better-tolerated surplus. For anyone who wants to gain without feeling permanently full and uncomfortable, that's a reasonable trade.
Plant-Based Protein
The protein is plant-derived, which makes this one of the few mass gainers suitable for vegans and for anyone who doesn't tolerate dairy.
Plant proteins digest more slowly than whey, which suits a gainer taken between meals as a calorie top-up rather than immediately post-training. Well-formulated plant blends combine sources to cover the full amino acid spectrum, since individual plant proteins are typically limited in one or two essential amino acids.
The Fibre Content
Unusual in a gainer and genuinely useful. Most people fall well short of daily fibre targets, and a bulking diet built on calorie-dense processed food makes that worse.
Fibre supports digestive regularity and feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which matters because nutrient absorption happens in the gut. When you're eating in a large surplus, absorbing what you eat is the whole point.
One practical note: if you're not used to a high-fibre intake, build up gradually. Going straight to full serves can cause gas and bloating while your gut adapts.
Who It Suits
- Vegans and vegetarians, where conventional gainers are off the table entirely.
- Anyone who bloats badly on standard maltodextrin-based gainers.
- People wanting a more controlled, cleaner surplus rather than maximum calories.
- Anyone who wants their gainer to contribute micronutrients and fibre rather than only calories.
If your problem is that you genuinely cannot eat enough and you need maximum calories in a glass, Hyperbolic Mass gH at around 1,178 calories per serve is the more aggressive tool.
Directions
Blend one serve with water or your preferred milk as directed on the label. Take between meals or after training.
Start with a half serve for the first week, particularly given the fibre content, and build up as your digestion adapts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it vegan?
The protein is plant-based. Check the label for the complete ingredient list and any manufacturing allergen statements.
Does it have fewer calories than a normal gainer?
Generally yes. It's a more moderate, better-tolerated surplus rather than a maximum-calorie product. That's the trade-off, and for many people it's the right one.
Will the fibre upset my stomach?
Possibly for the first week while your gut adapts, which is normal with any increase in fibre. Start on half serves and build up. Drink plenty of water alongside it.
How fast should I be gaining?
Around 0.25 to 0.5kg a week is a sensible rate for gaining mostly muscle. Adjust the serve size to hit that rather than drinking a full serve regardless.
