Good working stuff. Only good for post workout to get some healthy carbs and calories in. If you take it 3 times a day like they suggest you will just get a stomach because the carbs hide out there. So I would suggest this product for post-workout and then just up your calorie/fat/carb intake with an increased balanced diet.

Hello I am considered a hard-gainer and am in the process of putting on the bodyweight to increase my lean muscle mass. At this point I am only using a SINGLE serving a day (4 scoops with milk). This is all that is required for staying about 500 calories above my basal metabolic rate (go above it and you will gain weight, go below it and you will lose weight). I calculate this value every month because I notice my caloric requirements increase as I gain in weight. I also evenly space 5-6 frequent meals 300-400 calories. During workout days I drink whey protein for muscle repair along w/ L-glutamate after the workout. I keep my workouts simple HEAVY compound movements (ie. squats, deadlift, bench, military press). Starting this product at 185 lbs after a month I am already up to a a little over 200 lbs with a very noticable increase in my arm size, leg size, chest and shoulder size, and I must admit waist size. But that is a small price to pay for such great gains. When I feel like I am getting a bit TOO big I suppose I'll start cutting back on a fat burning routine, aside from that this is a great product if utilized right.

For the past 2 months, i have taken Cytogainer twice a day ( After workout, and before bed: Recommenced by a personal trainer at my gym) and i have gained 9 lbs during this time period. Now, besides taking this 2 times a day, you should also have 4 other meals ( real food, no supplements). I must say, im very impressed with its overall taste when added to 2%milk. You don't have to use 4 scoops all the time either; most of the time, i only use 3 scoops and as you can see, its working for me. I recommend this to anyone that wants to gain muscle (not fat), works hard, and wants results.

IF YOU DO NOT EXERCISE WHILE USING THIS, you will gain fat. Please understand this, i workout 6 days a week ( mon - sat, each day working on different muscles).

I'll keep this short and sweet, As of some point in June 2011 they changed the label and formula of the powder. It now tastes caulky and will not mix well. I get large chucks of powder in my bottle. This used to be my favorite power now I'm going to have to find a new one. :(

First off, this stuff tastes good. If you mix it with milk, its pretty much like a milkshake. If you take this product enough, you will gain size (after all, excess calories means more mass). Overall this product is pretty good. Had there been more whey isolates, I would have given it a perfect rating.

I'm 6'0 134 pounds. I WAS 6'0 118 pounds. I WAS 14 pounds underweight for the Marines, and I have 6months to gain the needed weight. I purchased this stuff about 2 months ago and changed my diet to a high calorie diet. I went from 2000 calories to about 5000+. I take 2 scoops with a 16oz glass of whole milk. Drink three of these a day morning, post workout, before bed, and eat a healthy diet you are on your way to gaining weight. I had and still have a very fast metabolism if I miss a meal or slack one day I'll lose a pound or two. If you have a fast metabolism like me then this still WILL work if you do everything else properly IE diet, exercise... Also stay away from processed sugars. I found out that this slows down your digestive system and will cause your body to run off your reserve fat or eat muscle tissue, and if you are gaining weight this will only hurt you. Also (sorry I keep remembering new things to add as I go) turn your 3 meals a day into 6 smaller meals.

This stuff is great! Although it could get a little expensive if you follow the suggested serving to gain optimum results, I definitely see the difference from when I first started drinking it. Though with any protein shakes you have to go do some hard work from your part or bad news for you.

Flavors I've tried so far:

Cookies and Creme - ehh... didn't really catch on to it. You might need to mix it with milk to taste better.

Chocolate Malt- Tasted like those gallon chocolate milk you buy from the supermarket if you mix it with water. My favorite so far.

Chocolate Mint- Really good if you like minty after taste all the way to the back of your throat.

Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the results.

They changed the formula when they changed the label. I used to be able to mix it with a spoon, now it doesn't mix well at all even using my shaker bottle. This is a piece of crap and I feel like i wasted my money. I'm switching to BSN Syntha6. It's not a weight gainer but it tastes great and mixes amazing. Screw CytoSports, I'm done with them now.

We have had several different protein powder drinks and this is one of the better tasting ones out there. This is also a pretty good price for this much product.

I jumped around to different proteins for a while but once I found this I loved it. Great taste, mixes well, and has lots of protein/important amino acids for you. Did I mention it tastes amazing despite having very low sugar content? I recommend cookies and cream.
