42g hydrolysed beef protein + 452kcal per 125g scoop
Applied Nutrition Beef Protein Mass Gainer is a dairy-free mass gainer built for trainees who want a calorie surplus from beef protein rather than the typical whey-and-maltodextrin formula. Each 125g serving delivers 42g of beef protein at 452 calories, alongside 3g of creatine, 9g of BCAAs and 70g of carbohydrates with just 0.7g of sugar. The 3.13kg tub provides 25 servings.
Beef protein isolate is naturally lactose-free and dairy-free, making the formula a fit for trainees with dairy intolerance who can't run a standard whey-based gainer. The 42g protein dose carries a full amino acid spread including 9g of naturally occurring BCAAs with leucine at the front. The 70g carbohydrate base provides post-training glycogen replenishment without excessive sugar load (0.7g sugar per serving). The 3g creatine matches the EFSA-authorised qualifying dose for the performance claim.
What separates Beef Protein Mass Gainer from a standard whey-based gainer is the protein source. Trainees with dairy intolerance typically struggle to find a clean mass gainer - most are whey concentrate based. This formula uses hydrolysed beef protein isolate while still hitting the calorie and carb targets a hard-gainer needs. The 0.7g sugar is also notably lower than most mass gainers (which run 20-80g sugar per serving).
Beef Protein Mass Gainer suits dairy-free hard gainers, ectomorphic trainees who need calorie support without dairy, athletes in committed bulking phases who want lower-sugar carbohydrate sources, and anyone who found standard whey-based gainers digestively heavy. Not for trainees comfortable with whey who want the lowest cost per calorie - whey-based gainers typically come in cheaper.
Whey-based alternative: XL Nutrition XTRA Mass Gainer 5.2kg (50g protein, 1000kcal per 260g scoop) for trainees comfortable with whey who want the higher-calorie mass gainer.
