Product Description

Flavor: Strawberry | Size: 10 lbs

Dietary Supplement. Mass Gainer; 52g Whey Protein; Ultimate Muscle Mass Formula. N-Large2 is a powerful mass gainer support formula designed to promote size on the hardest gainers. This potent formula delivers more calories and protein, gram for gram, than our competition. We emphasize the amount of protein per serving since it is the essential nutrient that promotes muscle mass. We use only cross-flow, microfiltered, cold-processed, ion-exchanged whey. This protein has a superior amino acid profile, unbeatable bioavailability, is low in lactose and is instantized for easy mixing without a blender. You simply will not find a protein of this grade used in other weight-gain formulas. This formula also contains a unique blend of carbohydrates to help fuel and support weight training. Fat, although shunned by some, is a highly concentrated energy source (double that of protein or carbohydrates). Fat is also a necessary component of all cell membranes, nerve covering, digestive secretions and most importantly, hormone production. A diet too low in fats may actually impair growth. For these reasons, amount of fat are contained in N-Large2. For best results, combine with a sensible diet and intense training program.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best If Not THE Best Weight Gainers, February 2, 2004

By 

"kamenrider1" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I'm a "hard gainer" and putting on weight, any weight, be it muscle or even fat, is tough for me. The upshot to that is my weight is pretty stable. When I was in my late teens I went into the hospital for a 30% spontaneous nemothorax (collapsed lung) and had to have an operation. Anyway, my mother was concerned I'd loose a lot of weight, but I hardly lost any, nor did I gain any weight. After my operation my mother asked the doctor what she could give me. He said I just have "a very efficient matabolism", but suggested Ensure as it had a lot of calories. Well, I drank it and didn't gain any weight!

I'm in my 30s and am 5'6" and *used* to weigh in at 120 lbs. Then I got really serious about gaining weight and adding more muscle to my frame. Following the advice of a couple of online bodybuilding gurus (Will Brink being one of them) I increased my daily food intake and supplemented that with a quality protein weight gainer, creatine and workout regimen (using a Bowflex XTL with squat attachment) and I'm gaining muscle. After a few months I now weigh 135 and counting. I'm gaining about 5 pounds a month. My goal is to reach about 150-160 and then trim down to about 145-150. It's important to understand that you will gain some fat when you are trying to gain muscle mass. It's inevitable.

I've tried GNC's Pro Performance Weight Gainer 2200 and MLO's Mus-L Blast 2000. While I liked the taste of GNC the best (chocolate) it's overpriced at roughly $35 for 6 lbs. Mus-L Blast was a relatively good value when I bought it at Rite Aid, but I didn't like the taste (chocolate) at all. Another thing about these two weight gainers I didn't like was the fact that a lot of the calories you're getting in these weight gainers are in the form of sugars...a lot of sugars, especially with GNC. I was feeling tired during the day and couldn't understand why. Excerising should make one energetic, but I always felt drowsy.

Because I was still doing research on weight gainers I was willing to try different ones after my supply of the current one ran out. I was shopping for another weight gainer even before I ran out of the Mus-L Blast because I didn't like the taste at all. I'd drink it really fast because of this. Then I read about Pro Lab's N Large 2 and liked the fact that it doesn't have a lot of sugars and contains more protein per serving. ... bucket it's not cheap, but it is a decent value, especially when compared to the others I've tried. The taste is not as good as GNC's, but is much better than MLO's.

You can find N Large 2 cheaper online than at The Vitamin Shoppe, but if you have a local Vitamin Shoppe near you it evens out when you factor in shipping. Luckily I do have a Vitamin Shoppe near me within a couple miles. The online prices are the same as the local store.

I may still try other protein weight gainers, but for now I'm on my second bucket of N Large 2 because I really like it and it's a good value. The other thing I like about Pro Lab is that they are straight forward in the marketing of their products. There are some weight gainers that tout 4000 calories per serving, but when you read the back label you have to mix it with a gallon of whole milk! Who's going to drink a gallon of milk in one sitting! Even GNC's marketing is suspect. They say 2200 calories per serving, but that's a massive serving too...something like 7 massive scoops of powder mixed with 2 or 4 cups of milk I think. When I used GNC I only mixed one scoop of powder with one cup of milk twice a day. Currently I'm mixing 2 scoops of N Large 2 with 1 cup of 2% milk twice a day with good results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muscles galore, June 15, 2006

Excellent Product if you want to gain lean weight fast. Use this after a workout, You will see noticeable gains very quickly. It tastes pretty good, have been on it for last 3 months and haven't tired of it. I recommend a blender to use with it, it can be a pain to mix it with a spoon.

The recommended dosage is pretty high 4 scoops per dose and 2 doses per day, I tend to run through a 10 lb tub of it in about 3 weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! Get the Chocolate, forget the Strawberry!, May 17, 2010

This review is from: Prolab Nutrition - N-Large 2 - Chocolate, 10 lb powder (Health and Beauty)

I'm also a person that is considered to be an ectomorph. Gaining weight has been very hard for me to accomplish. I've done gym routines in the past with no noticeable gain. I've been working out for about three months now, and in those three months, I put on just over 10 pounds. The 10 pounds actually came in 2 months, I need to go back and evaluate my caloric intake and see if I need to bump it up again. I use the N-Large 2 as a whey protein after working out, and the BSN INC. Syntha-6, Chocolate Peanut Butter, 5.04-Pound Tub in the morning and evening.

When I first started working out, I got the Chocolate N-Large 2, and it is relatively tasty. It lasts me almost two months since I am using 8 ounces after working out as that put me initially where I wanted to be for my supplemented intake. They were out of Chocolate when I last ordered so I decided to go with strawberry. BAD DECISION. The strawberry is almost like another company is making the product. It tastes TERRIBLE, and doesn't mix well at all using the Green 28 Oz. Blender Bottle.
