Hydrolysed whey is the fastest — it hits exhausted muscle immediately post-training. Whey Isolate follows. Whey Concentrate absorbs slowest, sustaining amino acid availability through the hours of recovery that follow. Together they create a feeding window that single-source proteins can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Real Food Carbs and Fats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost mass gainers hit their calorie count with cheap ingredients — corn syrup solids, vegetable creamers, maltodextrin. Mutant used sweet potato and waxy maize for the carbohydrate blend, and MCT oil, avocado and pumpkin seed for the fat blend. The result is a calorie-dense product that fuels muscle protein synthesis and hormone function without the processing shortcut most competitors take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue hard gainers\u003c\/strong\u003e — fast metabolism, training consistently, scale not moving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBusy athletes\u003c\/strong\u003e — genuinely can't fit enough quality calories into the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBulking phases\u003c\/strong\u003e — when the goal is size and the priority is a calorie surplus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with 1 serving mixed with 360–600ml of water or milk to assess tolerance — the high calorie content can cause stomach discomfort if you're not used to large single-meal calorie loads. Once comfortable, work up to 2 servings daily: one post-workout, one between meals or before bed. For maximum benefit, mix with milk rather than water. On rest days, take one serving in the morning and one in the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for lactose intolerance?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Mutant Mass Extreme 2500 contains whey protein concentrate, casein and milk proteins, all of which contain lactose. Not suitable for those with lactose intolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it as a meal replacement?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a pinch, yes — the quality protein, carb and fat profile means it's substantially better than skipping a meal entirely when you can't eat. Day to day though, it's designed to supplement meals, not replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it contain creatine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — Mutant Mass Extreme 2500 is focused on protein, carbs and fats. If you want strength and power support alongside a mass-gaining phase, run a separate creatine monohydrate product alongside it. The two stack together without any issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich size should I buy?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2 servings per day (the full daily protocol), the 6lb lasts roughly 10–12 days — a good first buy to confirm you tolerate the calorie load and enjoy the flavour. The 12lb runs roughly 3–4 weeks at the same protocol and works out better value per serving. Once you know it suits you, the 12lb is the smarter purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I mix it with water instead of milk?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but you'll lose calories doing it. The 2,450 calorie figure assumes milk. With water you're still getting the full 92g of protein and 512g of carbs, just several hundred fewer calories — which matters if the whole point is a surplus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutant","offers":[{"title":"6LB \/ Vanilla Ice Cream","offer_id":51039470649511,"sku":"TMUM7104S","price":79.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6LB \/ Triple Chocolate","offer_id":51039470682279,"sku":"TMUM7105S","price":79.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12LB \/ Vanilla Ice Cream","offer_id":51039470715047,"sku":"TMUM7106S","price":139.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12LB \/ Triple Chocolate","offer_id":51039470747815,"sku":"TMUM7107S","price":139.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2319\/7495\/files\/mutant-mass-extreme-2500-topdog-nutrition-4584590.png?v=1785409386","url":"https:\/\/paylesssupplements.co.nz\/products\/mutant-mass-extreme-2500","provider":"Payless Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
