The world of mass gaining products is about to be re-invented in a major way.
Pharma-gain™ is not a run of the mill mass gainer. Gone are the high glycemic sugars and in their place come a complex mix of low-impact carbohydrates, low glycemic fruit sugars, Essential fatty acids, large amounts of dietary fibre and a 7-way protein blend for the ultimate mass gainer. PhD believe that Pharma-Gain™ is a mass-gaining innovation. We believe that at last we have an intelligent mass-gainer that can be used by every athlete seeking to increase quality body mass.
Pharma-Gain™- High-Protein, High-Fibre, GI controlled mass gainer!
The PhD approach to quality mass gaining!
When creating Pharma-Gain™, we at PhD were steadfast in the type of product we wanted. We outlined key areas we wanted to avoid when creating a mass gainer for those seeking to gain healthy, quality mass. Essentially we believe that current mass-gainers are great for one type of athlete, the hard gainer who isn’t too concerned about what kind of body weight he gains, as long as the scales keep telling him his weight is on the rise. This is great to an extent and Pharma-Gain™ is ideal for this kind of athlete, but what about the others? What about the majority of us who want to increase quality muscle mass, without gaining too much body fat?
Creating the formula for Pharma-Gain™ involved heavy market research and outlining the major mistakes and corner-cutting made by the majority of mass gainers on the market, we called this: destroying the mass-gainer myths
Here’s how PhD destroy the mass-gainer myths and create the new rules!!
Myth 1- Mass gainers contain dextrose and cheap sugars as their major source of carbohydrates!
PhD destroy the rule: Pharma-Gain™ contains a triple-pronged carbohydrate blend with around 85% of any sugars present being in the form of fructose, a low Glycemic carbohydrate, guaranteed to allow blood sugar to remain steady and consistent without the energy crashes associated with many mass-gainers.
Myth 2- Mass gainers must be high-carbohydrate, moderate protein and almost zero-fat!
PhD Destroy the rule: Pharma-Gain falls strictly (By EU Laws) within the nutrient ratio allowable for a product to be called “A Meal replacement” such is the quality of the ingredients. Most mass gainers on the market will perhaps contain around 25 Grams of protein per 100 grams of powder. PhD Nutrition’s Pharma-Gain™ contains 40 grams of protein per 100 grams of powder. After all, given the choice of additional calorie intake between carbohydrates or protein, we are pretty sure those interested in quality mass gains would opt for a little more protein and fewer carbohydrates. In addition to higher than average protein content, PhD Nutrition’s Pharma-Gain™ also contains optimum average carbohydrate content, still enough to ensure optimum mass gains and strength enhancements, but not too much so that all you get for your money is added mass around the mid-section.
Myth 3- The only fats in mass-gainers are the unhealthy kind.
PhD destroy the rule: PhD Nutrition’s Pharma-Gain™ does contains small amounts of saturated fat, but to off-set this inevitability, we also include olive oil and flaxseed to balance out the fat content. Both olive oil and flaxseed contain Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) and extremely healthful to the diet of anyone interested in optimum quality of life.
Myth 4- Fibre is just for vegetables!
PhD destroy the rule: The quality nutritional profile of Pharma-Gain™ would not be complete without 7-9 grams of fibre in every 100 gram serving (officially making Pharma-Gain™ a high-fibre food). Fibre is a vital nutrient for gut health and aids greatly in slowing down gastric emptying, which in turn slows down the release of nutrients into the bloodstream and ensures a slow and steady blood sugar reaction to the product. Many mass gainers will leave you with symptoms of low blood sugar some 60-90 minutes after using them. This is due to the high amounts of sugar used and low amounts of fibre and healthy fats present within product. Pharma-Gain™ can be taken as a regular meal and will not leave you feeling hungry and craving sugar within 90 minutes.
Pharma-Gain™ is also fortified with added L-Glutamine and Branched Chain Amino Acids.
Available in 3 great flavours.
Pharma-Gain™ is part of the PhD Nutrition Mass and Strength range and can be used successfully with all other PhD products.

To Mix:
- for a high-protein, high-calorie drink: Add 3 level scoops of Pharma-Gain to 400ml of ice cold water or milk and shake vigorously for approximately 10 seconds.
- For a high-protein, lower-carbohydrate MRP drink: Add 2 level scoops to 300ml of ice cold water or milk and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
- I notice Pharma-Gain is different to most mass-gainers, why is this?
- I notice Pharma-Gain contains between 7-9 grams of fibre per serving, this is unusual for a mass-gainer, why so much?
- Why does it contain added BCAA’s?
Answer: Pharma-Gain contains 40% Protein content and 40% Carbohydrate content, this is almost unheard of in the world of mass-gaining products. Most mass-gainers on the market contain 25% protein with 75% carbs and the carbs maybe of dubious quality. Pharma-Gain contains a 7-way protein blend including Whey Protein Isolate and Whey protein Concentrate
Answer: PhD feel that many body builders and weight-trainers seriously ignore the importance of fibre in their diet. Pharma-Gain is a mass-gainer for every level of athlete, not just the beginner who is fooled into buying a product with the false promise of X-amount of calories. Fibre is essential for health and effective digestion.
BCAA’s are essential for muscle repair and muscle growth, Pharma-gain contains large amounts of naturally-occurring BCAA’s but we’ve included more to enhance the product even further.
