About the Product
Life Pro Nutrition's Mass Gainer Dragon Ball Super Limited Edition is a limited edition hypercaloric powder supplement, with a design inspired by the Dragon Ball Super saga (Goku's universe). In addition to its exclusive visual appeal, the formula is technically complete and differentiated: it combines a triple source of carbohydrates (Maltodextrin + Pre-gelatinized rice flour + Waxy Maize) for staggered energy, a dual source of protein (Lacprodan® whey protein concentrate from Arla Foods + Soy protein isolate), three functional amino acids (Creatine monohydrate 1.5g + L-Glutamine 0.5g + L-Arginine 0.5g per serving), DigeZyme® for facilitated digestion, and a complex of 13 vitamins covering 50% of the nutritional reference values per serving. Gluten-free (suitable for coeliacs and people with gluten sensitivity). Contains milk and soy. Serving: ~100g (2 scoops) in 400 to 450ml. 3kg per pack (~30 servings).
Benefits
Triple carbohydrate source with staggered absorption: immediate, sustained and prolonged energy in a single dose:
The carbohydrate profile of Dragon Ball Mass Gainer is one of its main technical differentiators compared to conventional gainers based exclusively on maltodextrin. The combination of three sources with different absorption rates ensures a multi-stage energy supply. Maltodextrin is the fastest-absorbing carbohydrate in the mix: a short-chain polysaccharide with a high glycaemic index, absorbed in 15 to 30 minutes and responsible for a rapid rise in blood glucose and an immediate anabolic insulin response post-workout, which facilitates the transport of amino acids to the muscle and glycogen resynthesis. Pre-gelatinized rice flour (the same base as Life Pro's Tasty Rice) is a polysaccharide with an intermediate glycaemic index, absorbed more slowly than maltodextrin but faster than raw starch, which prolongs glucose availability for another 60 to 90 minutes. Waxy Maize (waxy corn starch, the base of Life Pro's Pure Waxy) is the carbohydrate with the highest molecular weight and lowest osmolarity in the mixture, with facilitated gastric emptying and a more progressive and sustained glucose release, which extends energy supply for another 2 to 3 hours. This three-stage time coverage makes Dragon Ball Mass Gainer ideal for both post-workout use (maltodextrin for immediate glycogen resynthesis + rice and waxy maize for energy in the following hours) and between meals (rice flour + waxy maize for satiety and prolonged energy).
Dual protein source: Lacprodan® SP-8011 (Arla Foods) + Soy isolate for amino acid profile and bimodal absorption:
The protein formula combines two premium protein sources with complementary absorption rates and amino acid profiles. Lacprodan® SP-8011 whey protein concentrate (produced by Arla Foods Ingredients, one of the world's leading dairy ingredient companies) is a high-quality, instant (immediate dissolution) whey protein, with an amino acid profile rich in BCAAs (especially leucine as an mTOR activator) and rapid to moderate absorption. The specific use of Lacprodan® SP-8011 (instead of generic whey protein) is a statement of raw material quality, given that Lacprodan® certification implies a controlled production process with traceability and guaranteed composition from Arla Foods. Soy protein isolate complements the whey concentrate with a slightly different amino acid profile (richer in arginine, glutamic acid and aromatic amino acids, and with a higher proportion of tryptophan) and with a more moderate absorption rate than whey, extending the supply of amino acids to the muscle for longer after ingestion.
Creatine monohydrate (1.5 g/serving): performance support integrated into the hypercaloric formula:
The inclusion of 1.5g of creatine monohydrate per 100g serving is a relevant formulation choice that transforms Mass Gainer into a functional supplement beyond simple hypercaloric intake. Creatine is the ergogenic supplement with the strongest scientific evidence base (ISSN category A), with robust documentation of improved strength, power, and lean muscle mass. With 2 daily servings of 100g, the user receives 3g of creatine/day, already close to the standard maintenance dose of 3 to 5g/day. Co-ingestion of creatine with high glycaemic index carbohydrates (such as the maltodextrin present in this formula) enhances muscular creatine uptake via increased insulin, making the combination in this gainer especially synergistic compared to creatine taken in water alone.
L-Glutamine (0.5g/serving) and L-Arginine (0.5g/serving): support for recovery, immune system and muscle volume:
L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and plasma, with relevant functions in muscle recovery (substrate for de novo nucleotide synthesis necessary for DNA repair and cell proliferation), intestinal health (preferred fuel for enterocytes), and immune function (substrate for T lymphocytes during intense exercise that reduces plasma glutamine). Although 0.5g/serving is a modest amount, it contributes to the total glutamine intake along with that from proteins. L-Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid that serves as a substrate for nitric oxide (NO) synthesis via nitric oxide synthase (NOS), with vasodilatory effects that increase muscle blood flow, nutrient delivery to the muscle, and the "pump" during exercise. Arginine also has functions in endogenous creatine synthesis and growth hormone secretion.
DigeZyme®: the patented multienzyme complex for comfortable digestion of a dense dose:
The inclusion of DigeZyme® (Sabinsa Corporation, the same enzyme complex present in standalone DigeZyme products and Dirty Squads' ISO 90X/ISO 80X proteins) in this Mass Gainer is technically important: a 100g serving of gainer represents a substantial nutritional load (complex carbohydrates + protein + residual fat) that can overload digestive capacity and cause gastrointestinal discomfort (flatulence, bloating, heaviness) in some people, especially when consumed post-workout when gastrointestinal blood flow is reduced. DigeZyme® (alpha-amylase for carbohydrates, protease for proteins, lipase for fats, lactase for lactose from whey, cellulase for residual fibres) partially pre-hydrolyses all these macronutrients in the stomach and small intestine, accelerating digestion, improving absorption, and reducing the risk of digestive discomfort.
Complex of 13 vitamins (50% NRV per serving): micronutritional support for phases of high caloric demand:
During muscle gain phases with a high caloric surplus and intense training, the need for B-complex vitamins (cofactors of energy metabolism: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin) and antioxidant vitamins (C, E) increases proportionally to training volume and accelerated metabolism. The complex of 13 vitamins (A, C, D, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid and biotin) covering 50% of the NRV per serving complements the vitamin intake from a regular diet, ensuring that the increased caloric intake is accompanied by adequate micronutritional support.
Gluten-free: suitable for coeliacs and people with gluten sensitivity:
The Gluten Free certification of this Mass Gainer is a relevant differentiator in the gainer market, where most conventional products contain oats, wheat, or barley as complex carbohydrate sources. The triple carbohydrate source in this formula (corn maltodextrin, rice flour, waxy maize) is naturally gluten-free, making this product suitable for coeliac athletes or those with gluten sensitivity who need hypercaloric supplementation for muscle mass gain.
Usage
Recommended dose: Dissolve ~100g (2 scoops) in 400 to 450ml of water or skimmed milk. Shake well in a shaker for 20 to 30 seconds. Consume 1 to 2 times a day, preferably after training (to maximise the anabolic insulin response with high GI carbohydrates and protein) and/or between main meals to increase total daily caloric intake. For a more moderate caloric surplus, start with 50g/serving and gradually increase.
