Optimum Nutrition launches weight gain, muscle building supplement

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - Optimum Nutrition on Tuesday announced the release of Gold Standard Gainer to help support weight gain, muscle building and recovery. The newest addition to the brand's Gold Standard line addresses consumer demand for a gainer that mixes easily and delivers superior taste.



"Our athletes spoke, and we listened," said Stuart Heflin, director of North American marketing for ON. "They wanted a gainer that delivers high quality ingredients, that isn't gritty and that actually tastes good. We met that challenge, and in the process set a new standard for mass gainers – that's why the product earned the ON 'Gold Standard' label."



Gold Standard Gainer is available in four flavors, including: colossal chocolate, vanilla ice cream, cookies & cream and cinnamon bun.



At 760 calories per serving, Gold Standard Gainer provides a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrate to high quality protein - plus good fats from flax and chia seed with added medium chain triglycerides. Each serving contains 55 grams of premium protein, mostly from isolate sources, to support muscle building. Gold Standard Gainer contains complex carbohydrates from whole foods like pea starch, potato starch and oats to help support energy and recovery. The product is banned substance tested.
