For those of you who have trouble gaining muscle mass, must read!

I have just discovered a breakthrough (for myself at least).

I've been weight training for a while now. I have gained quite a bit of muscle mass, but not enough for the amount of effort I put into it. I always made sure I got my protein and calories. I used creatine and protein shakes for a while also.

The problem is not the fact that I am not ingesting enough protein and calories, the problem is that my body cannot metabolize this.

To make a long story short, here is how I solved my problem:

Acai Berry extract. Acai berry is the most powerful antioxidant fruit. It increases your metabolic rate (amongst many other benefits like: helps with cell recovery, has omega 6 and 9 essential fatty acids, has many vitamins). Your body can better metabolize the protein/calories that you ingest.

Benefits of the Acai Berry

Buy Acai Berry in capsules. Within 2 weeks, you will notice the results. I have been able to increase how much food I eat because I'm suddenly ALWAYS hungry. The muscular hypertrophy in my quadriceps, biceps and pecs is just AWESOME. I am so friggin excited because of this.

Try the acai berry. You will notice results.

OK, tried it before. I think it help me gain mass. What i was taking was a acai berry green tea combination. Took it for about a month or so. I may do it again.

How much have you been taking?

I may give this a try - HOWEVER...I generally try to stay away from anything that increases my metabolic rate.
Yes, it might metabolize my protein faster, but won't it also metabolize everything else faster?

I certainly don't need anything that is going to speed-up my metabolism

Well, people usually thinks that by drinking a protein shake with 20 grams of protein, you are sending 20 grams to your muscles. Wrong. The protein has to be first digested, then metabolized. Protein is lost during digestion, and more protein is lost again while metabolizing.

Also, people think that "oh, instead of a protein shake, I'm gonna eat half chicken breast that contain the same 20 grams of protein". Wrong again. When it comes to natural food, even more protein is wasted in the digestion process.

There is only ONE product in the market, which is really revolutionary, high quality, great price for what it is, and of course, tried and reviewed by bodybuilders. It contains plasma serum protein, which is a predigested form with high absorption in the body.

Thanks for the info Jackxx, I will take a look and research it.

Gator,

I have been taking 1 500mg capsule in the morning and 1 500mg capsule after my workout around 8 pm.

what I find is people want to increase mass without eating!

Well i started out 155, and really had trouble gaining more weight, but then I would find myself surviving on a can of sardines, mr.noodles and cereal the whole day. Its all about changing your eating habits and increasing your appetitie.

I eat generally 4 times a day and am now pretty hungry at all times, which is awesome, because I can eat more. I start with a big bowl of cereal, follow it up by fruits. For brunch i make myself a few sandwiches and veggies. For lunch I have a lot of spaghetti. After gym I have a protein shake, and when I come home I eat a whole can of tuna and have a few dinner leftovers. Doing this everyday, Im gaining about a pound or two a week, stable. I am now approaching 170 in a month, and will stop at my optimal physical shape of 175. Any questions, feel free to ask me.

Give me a break, balance your macronutrients, eat a lot, hit the big 3 (4): squats, deadlifts, bench, cleans.

Gator you want a higher metabolic rate even if you're a hard gainer. The more food you can healthily intake the more your body is putting it to use.

I remember predigested protein from the 80's,tasted like spew and did nothing for me.
Of course this product is probably different in some way.

My partner came home with several bottles of acai juice mix ,which she has been giving me twice a day for the last week.
Came down with a cold yesterday, so can't report anything positive yet, nor can my partner.
Will keep taking it till the supply runs out, will report if I notice anything positive, a little more energy would be nice.

Radio, this sounds great, I love Acai, and I also love this stuff Kombucha. Look it up, friggin awesome man, what a rush and SO healthy for you.

Also, when you tried creatine, what kind did you use. I recommend Cell-Tech, shit WORKS bro, bigtime, and always gain on it. Just gotta be careful, shit has alot of dextrose in it and they warn people who are diabedic not to take it.

But yes, Acai is the shit!
