truemass.jpgIn the past you could say I’ve been a bit bias when it comes to weight gain supplements. The truth is I have tried a lot of weight gainers, and all of them apart from CytoGainer and N-Large II had at least 1 thing I didn’t like about them. Some tasted like ass, others didn’t mix well, and my pet hate with weight gainers, some were full of filler ingredients and high in sugar and lactose.

I am lucky enough to have a friend who works at my local GNC, so he gets me good deals from time to time. He’s a big True Mass fan and said if I want to try it he can get me a real good deal. So why not!?

My Experiences With Cell Mass:

Taste: Whoever designed the taste on this probably used to work at a milkshake bar!! That’s pretty much what it tastes like, a thick strawberry milkshake! I was impressed by the taste, I’d even go as far as saying it’s better tasting than N-Large II (just!).

Mixability: Yeah no problems here. I don’t use blenders and it mixed fine in my shaker.

Effectiveness: I can’t say that True Mass is less or more effective than CytoGainer or N-Large because my weight gains were about exactly the same. My clean bulking goal is 1lb increase in bodyweight per week and I hit that with all 3 weight gainers. So I’d have to say effectiveness is equal.

Price: Compared to the other two, you get slapped a bit on the price. It’s around $54 for 10lbs of N-Large II and it’s $39 for 5.75lbs of True Mass, so do the maths.

Overall: I liked it. Taste wise it was brilliant, it mixed easily, full of the right stuff and as effective as it’s competitors. The only thing I didn’t like was the price. But I know some people would easily sacrifice the price to get a weight gainer that tasted as good as a milkshake :)

Anyone else tried True Mass? If you have, leave your comments below!

Editors note: True Mass is now on sale here at Muscle and Strength.

I’am at school until 3:15 and i’am on a 3,000 calorie diet 30% pro 50% carb 20% fat split into 6 different meals a day and obviously it is difficult to eat during class and so I was wondering if I were to buy this so I could drink it throught the start of the day thats 3 meals untill I come home to cook real food. would it make me gain fat or would it work as if I was just eating regular meals.

P.S. I’am 15 years old 155 LB I work out for 1 hr a day 5 days a week.

Jeff-Admin - 14 May 08 at 15:43:10

Hi Tyler,

Yes, True Mass is perfect for increasing your calories during the day and for meal replacements.

At 15 and 155lbs, I wouldn’t worry about putting on fat…you’re still growing and would have a fast metabolism.

It’s a meal replacement or weight gain shake. You can have it at any time of the day. There is no creatine in it

sandeep - 05 Dec 08 at 05:14:35

Hi Jeff,

Hey, I recently got True Mass from a friend at school. This is the first product i am trying. I am curious tho whether if taking it every day after i work out if it keeps the fat level down. i just want to make sure that using it after workouts i will be able to gain muscle, while not gaining fat. I am somewhat skinny and eat a high carb diet as it is. Thx

Hey, I am trying to gain more muscle and lose more fat. I have been taking true mass for about 4 and a half days now. And i weighed my self before i bought true mass i was 170 lbs. Now i am at 179lbs. I dont now if those 9 pounds tured into fat or muscle? I am not woried how much i weigh i just want to have more muscle. I eat about 3,000 calries a day. I did not change my eating habits. I play baseball in school for a hour a day. Then i go run 1 mile everyday then go workout for 1 hour.
Should i keep on taking true mass?

Age 16 , 179 lbs 5′ 11″

sab - 26 May 09 at 18:11:50

hey i use true mass
it mixes a hundred times easier then any other weight gainer it tastes amazing and it workes really well but since it only has 620 calories its for people that want to gain weight slow but sure without fat if your just starting out i suggest you get weigth gainers with over 1000 calories and youll see results within a month garanteed.

frankie horton - 15 Jun 09 at 18:10:14

hey how much weigh can you gain with tru-mass im currently 6″3 173 are there any special methods that i dont know about?

Nathan - 01 Jul 09 at 22:02:31

im 6′2″ and 155 and i just got true mass but havent used it yet. I’ve been working out for a few years now and i havent gained much weight in the past 6 months. Ive tried a lot of products from creatine to protein and have decided to try a weight gainer since i have a really fast metabolism and i need to gain weight for sports. I want to know if True Mass really works and howmany time a day i should take it and when

Nathan - 01 Jul 09 at 22:02:57

and im 15

Andrew - 04 Aug 09 at 07:45:40

Hi, im 15 is true mass ok for me? also would this be good as my post workout shake? i’ve taken metrx, synta6, optimum why gold standard, but i want to get bigger. what do you think?

shane - 10 Aug 09 at 12:49:35

heya 1 all

goin to try bsn true mass and see what happens, from what im reading, im picking up its good to stack no explode with it, but unfortunatly no eplode has been BANNED in ireland, any other suggestions on what to stack with it would be great, was lookin at syntha 6

Cheers

Robert - 06 Sep 09 at 12:12:36

Hey shane,

A great stack i can reccommend would be N.O.-Xplode pre workout, Cellmass and Syntha-6 post workout, and if your really looking for vascularity than grab a bottle of nitrix and your on your way!

GILBERT - 23 Sep 09 at 20:15:55

my son is 13 yrs old and is 5′5 and only weighing 105. is this a safe age for him to begin weight gainers? and if so can u tell me what the appropriate amount would be? thanks

danny - 10 Nov 09 at 08:39:18

I am using true mass, I feel that im getting more fat in my stomach, or is it just my feeling? I take 2 servers a day now, not as a meal replacement. I have a bit of a belly 28 years old and I would like to gain more muscle weight while at the same time losing some fat. Am I doing the right tthing? I also do cardio, is that still good for gaining muscle weight? After i drink 16oz water with 3 scoops, I feel so full.

Mohamed - 22 Dec 09 at 00:52:04

^^^ you didn’t tell us your weight. Also you got to understand that if you are eating more calories and burning less calories, guess what? Yes you will gain weight with fat. Cardio is good but I’ve seen people doing 10 minutes worth of cardio and call it a day. True mass is good if you are working out hard but if you aren’t, it’s not worth it. Save till you start lifting weight (hardcore).

I’ve been taking True Mass for about five days, twice a day. I’m not exactly over or underweight and i want to tone or define what i already have. I recently read that you have to have very few amounts of fat in your body. Will True Mass help me define what i already have or make it worse? Should i lose some fat and regain the weight with TM?

Also, i should say that i have been working out, started three weeks before going on the supplement.

Anthony - 09 Feb 10 at 10:59:53

I just purchased True mass and im stacking with no xplode. im trying to lose belly fat and gain muscle. im doing a good job right now with losing th eblly fat with the no xplode. im 25yrs, 5′10 and weigh 220lbs. i was wondering if true mass is gonna give me more fatty lbs or muscle lbs. i work out everyday accept saturdays. usally do a goo d amount of weight lifting and 20-25 mins of cardio. any info would help ! thanx!

Sarah J Gomez - 12 Feb 10 at 09:58:04

Hi all,

My husband owns a trucking company and delivers mattresses all day(about 12 hr work days). He lifts mattresses up to 500 lbs (with a helper), so he gets tons of exercise during the day. He keeps losing weight and wants to gain weight back. He is very slim to begin with. He used to weight 167 at 5′8 and is now down to 143. He needs to gain weight, so will this help him if he drinks it to replace breakfast or adds it to a meal? I have been researching the best product for him so we don’t waste money on a supplement that doesn’t work. Thanks for any input!

Sincerely,
Sarah G

ciao my friends. I just wanna know how much time after my workout do i need to wait to take my true mass shake?

William - 21 Feb 10 at 14:26:59

A good rule of thumb, take in as many grams of protein as you weigh per day if you want to gain weight. I drink 3 True Mass shakes a day. One imediatly after my work out. Another through out the day. One right before bed. I have also used Nitro Tech in the past, most of it ended up in the toilet a hour later. Muscle Milk, alright but didn’t compare close to True Mass. Another idea try amino acids. Proteins digested turn into amino acids. I personaly take BCAA before my work out and then take an amino blend through out my work out. That way my muscles are ready to rebuild the second I am done. Proteins, like any thing else you eat tike time to digest. Hope this helps!

I know tru-mass is generally used to gain weight but on the package it says dietary supplement. My uncle has an almost new container of this stuff that he’s willing to give to me but I’m trying to lose fat/weight while getting stronger.(I’m pretty fit for a big guy 6:20 mile, I just want to lose some of the flabs covering my abs lol) I workout 4 times a week in a weight training class at school, then a little after track practice everyday and then cardio for like 10 min. If this is not the right product for me please let me know about something that would be. Thanks

chris - 06 Apr 11 at 19:17:07

hii am 17 years old and i weigh in at around 115 and i am starting tru-mass this week. any tips so that i dont gain alot of fat on my body instead of muscle?

rhomaion - 10 Apr 11 at 09:39:23

True-Mass is a mass gainer which means that the calories that are in it aren’t the same as say a cheeseburger from bk. It has tons of minerals and everything you need to lean muscle mass. You do NOT have to workout every time you take it but you must workout a few times per week to see optimum results. You can take it as many times per day as needed to satisfy you needed calorie intake. I recommend taking it between meals to even out your calorie intake. If you need a richer milkshake taste then mix with milk. You do NOT have to take 3 scoops each time you take it if it makes you bloated. A good schedule if you just started taking true-mass is 2 scoops 3 times a day.

Hardgainer - 11 May 11 at 00:55:08

Trumass like all weight gainers is designed for hardgainers or people looking for fast bulk.

For those above who are looking for fat loss and muscle gain (in my opinion) should not be taking a mass gainer stick to a standard protein powder.

hey guys ive been reading some of the comments and would like to offer a little advice. Im 24 220lbs at the moment 5′ft 10in. ive been working out for 4 years. i used to weigh 145 pounds which sucked. True mass works great but its not the best i took it three times a day (in the morning right after i wake up, a little after 1 or 2 if u had a big meal, and before i went to bed). ive never used any juice so dont come to that conclusion and i can show u pictures if u want. Also this may sound crazy but i ate BRAZIL nuts 3 in the morning and 3 before i went to bed. Also sauerkraut at least twice a day and chopped eggs at lunch with the yolk. Also dont forget your fish oil to works best in the morning and before u go to sleep. if u want to know anything else hit up my email

Dino - 12 Jul 11 at 22:21:41

jamie - 22 Sep 11 at 14:00:39

im having trouble finding the ingredients, does this have a high dose of vitamin c? i just started Adderall for my ADHD and i heard vitamin C reduces the blood levels of the drug, and make it come out of your body much faster.

rupesh - 22 Jan 12 at 15:06:07

What is the difference between weight gainer and muscle gainer? Is True mass is a weight gainer or muscle gainer?
