I'm one of those people who can't gain weight even if I were to inject pure bacon grease through an IV into my arteries... Through the years I've used multiple different high calorie weight gainers along with working out and this one is so far the best, by a long shot. I've used some with higher calorie counts before, but they did not taste well and were super thick, almost to the point you had to chew them... Pretty gross. I've ordered quite a few containers of this BSN now, have had chocolate a few times and just started getting strawberry and they all mix up in 16oz of water very easily using a blender bottle. For the chocolate I add 2-3 teaspoons of Nestle Quik to it... makes it taste quite a bit better. The strawberry to me is the better tasting of the two and also seemingly lighter/smoother. One odd thing, every container I've had of these have included a different scoop. I could swear that the scoop size changes... I don't know if this is normal or what, but it sure is strange. As far as performance goes, it does work. I don't have actual numbers from a scale, but I can visually tell that my workouts are more effective while on the BSN than other weight gainers I have used in the past.

Amazon subscribe and save sweetens the deal. I have it so it sends me both strawberry and chocolate at different intervals. I will probably try vanilla eventually too.

Currently my oldest is on medication that curbs his appetite significantly. To augment his intake we were recommended to have him take some weight gain supplement. After some searching and talking to other parents with this issue we came here to Amazon to order this product. We have now purchased every flavor over the last 5 months. My son has gained back an appropriate amount of weight for his age.

Pros:
+ Tasty flavors that can be switched month to month to keep him interested.
+ Mixes easily with the right mixing utensil (more on this later).
+ Very large quantity of product means it will last a long time with recommended use

Cons:
- Mixing by hand can be an exercise in futility.
- Any mix left in the glass left out becomes like concrete (Clean out glass immediately).

Ownership tip:
It is important to use a proper mixing glass to make this mix completely dissolve. The recommended amount is 2 scoops for 1 glass of milk. If you put those scoops in first and then pour in the milk it may not mix correctly. Something like this:Blender Bottle Mini may be needed. A spoon is just about useless. The mix that we have had the most success mixing is the cookies and cream.

Summary:
This mix when added to a nutritious diet can augment those with unwanted weight loss issues. The mixes are tasty and that helps to keep the person interested in drinking it every day. Mixing up the flavors every other month means you have only a repeat flavor every 6 months. Not bad!

Thank you for reading my review.

I began using Syntha-6 because what I wanted was a protein shake to make me gain muscles faster. After more research, I found this product and decided to give it a try. Now, I'm never gonna go back. This is the product that I will live by now. Already on my 3rd jar of this great stuff and the only con is that it goes by fast because you have to use 3 scoops of it in one serving. It tastes great (I got the chocolate one) and it contains vitamins so I don't even feel the need to take my multi-vitamins that I recently bought, just take this instead. Anyway, it's really worth it but you MUST workout because if you don't, you will gain weight however you'll be a fatty...

This is the first mass gainer I have tried. I ordered the first jar 5 days ago and just ordered my second jar today. I have an extremely fast metabolism and recently decided to go on a 4,000 cal/day diet to gain 10 pounds. I am 5'6" and 127 lbs with athletic build. I weight train 3/4 days per week and wish I would have tried this a long time ago. After reading the reviews and comments I have to agree this stuff tastes pretty good!(i got the chocolate milkshake). It mixes smoothly (i use a blender) and goes down easily. I use milk for the extra calories (lactaid...I'm lactose intolerant). I have already recommended it to a friend. I can't compare to any other mass gainers but as of right now I don't see myself needing to try another one. It is not hard to get two servings in per day( I use the full recommended serving) and as of now it is the ONLY thing that is making my 4,000 cal goal attainable. As for the price...no its not cheap but it is probably equivalent if not less to the price you would pay for quality food with the same amount of calories...and at the end of the day if I could force more food down in the first place i wouldn't really need the mass gainer to start with. I only gave four stars because it is too soon to tell how much weight i will actually be able to put on using this product...as of now I have gained about 2 pounds in 4 days with the increase to the 4,000 cal diet but I dont think that is significant since weight fluctuates so much from day to day and based on what you eat on a particular day with water retention and whatnot.

This gainer is very good. I now believe BSN uses high quality ingredients. I normally have an intolerance, and many other products upset my stomach. But I seem to do just fine with the BSN product line up. Tastes is not bad, I was hoping it would taste as good as syntha6. I shake in water, mixes well. It has a good amount of protein in it as well. The down is you only get 18 servings! Some days I'm downing 3 or more servings. This thing will be gone in 1 week at that rate. Ended having to subscribe to this stuff. I'm an ectomorph with a ridicules BMR. For others , you should be able to make this stuff last. I think BSN protein blend is the best thus far.

Gained 7-10 pounds in two weeks with a significant increase in strength and lean muscle. Great stuff!

I've always been naturally thin and drop dead gorgeous ha ha just kidding. I've been taking True-Mass for a month now and have gained 5 pounds of muscle, which before, would have been impossible to do. The three recommended scoops blend easily with milk or water, unlike other generic weight gainers, that throw in a shovel with their product, and the ending shake feels like mud going down your throat. I don't get that bloated, gassy feeling like I got after drinking muscle milk. This is a great product and ships fast! I recommend the vanilla flavor just because of its versatility. Mix it with a little chocolate syrup and two cups of milk and get a 1,000 calorie shake. Or, mix in a little cherry kool-aid powder with a bottled water and you get a shake that taste like a Misty Freeze from Dairy Queen.

I'm a pretty skinny guy, I have always been so gaining weight has been challenging for a couple of reasons. First, I don't want to just gain weight by eating junk food, fried and fatty foods for obvious health reasons and secondly, its really difficult to find a weight gainer powder that actually tastes good.

Before True Mass, I have tried Muscle Milk, an off brand from Target and the GNC powder. They all had their short-comings, especially in the taste department. Based on a suggestion from a friend, I decided to buy the True-Mass and I was simply blown away by how amazing it tastes. I mix 3 scoops with 12 ounces of 2% milk and 2 ounces of water and it mixes really well w/o becoming too thick. It feels like I'm drinking a strawberry milkshake and the best part is that there is absolutely no after-taste!

Its been almost three weeks now and I have gained nearly 6 pounds (I workout 3 times a week as well) which may not seem like a lot but knowing how difficult it is for me to put on weight, I'm excited.

I'm pretty skinny naturally, so I need something like this to add on pounds. This has helped a lot for my lifting, I usually only drink it once a day, but I'm sure drinking it 2-3 times a day will help if you want to really bulk up. It also tastes great, I've had strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream, and they are all really tasty.

The strawberry milkshake flavor tastes great and does the job it's suppose to. I've noticed gains and faster recovery while using this product. If you drink this shake right after working out, you really feel the difference. I could not be happier with BNS for flavor and performance.
I've noticed combining a scoop of this strawberry shake with some casein protein right before bed helps your body recover a lot during the night. Anyone who is interested and serious about working out should looking into casein protein. Out of all the supplements and shakes I have, casein has been the most effective. Now if only creatine could taste this good. haha
