  • Golden GAINS™ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)



    What is Golden GAINS™ ?

    Originally posted by Controlled Labs
    Golden GAINS™: Premium Nutrient Delivery

    15 Servings (1324 grams) Homemade Apple Pie

    Key Attributes:

    - Premium ingredients
    - Postworkout or any time nutrition
    - Real Meal with Protein, Carbs, Healthy Fats and Fruits & Vegetables
    - 98% sugar free
    - Prevent catabolism and achieve fitness goals
    - Support muscle glycogen and recovery
    - Convenient all in one formula
    - Great taste



    Now that you've made fitness a part of your lifestyle, treat yourself to Golden GAINS™ after every workout. Formulated with precise amounts of protein, amino acids, healthy fats, and designer carbohydrates, we enhanced Golden GAINS™ further by adding exclusive “super-nutrients” to help support the athletic lifestyle.

    The GoldPro protein complex delivers essential and branched chain amino acids so crucial for lean muscle tissue and recovery between workouts. Featuring both immediate and sustained proteins for constant assimilation, now you no longer need to choose between great taste, mixability, and value... get everything you need with Golden GAINS™.

    The GoldCarb Complex, our exclusive carbohydrate blend, offers the best of both worlds with efficient premium highly processed waxy maize and natural oats for a CONTROLLED insulin response and great taste and a good dose of fiber. As a bonus, this formula may help optimize hormone ratios and combat toxins, post-workout crash and adrenal fatigue.

    The HealthyFat Complex is a blend of healthful fats that athletes consume to optimize performance. It has the potential to help optimize blood sugar levels, enhance cardiovascular health and scavenge free radicals.

    The Fruit & Veggie Complex relies on 5,000mg of the best organic fruit and vegetables available. Other formulas rely almost strictly on macro nutrients and ignore the importance of micronutrients in a post workout setting (as well as all day), which is not the case with Golden GAINS™. Micronutrients are plentiful in fruits and vegetables and help form a solid nutritional foundation that is essential for muscle growth. This complex also helps to convert the body from the “acidic environment” of most bodybuilding diets, to a more basic one that is needed for optimal lean muscle mass GAINS™ and overall health.

    For optimal post-workout cellular anabolism, look no further than our GFH Complex. We included crucial Electrolytes and Taurine to work in synergy, keeping your muscles in an anabolic state at the cellular level and for as long as possible. As a bonus, it appears that this complex may even help reduce muscle cramping and unnecessary soreness.

    With your health and performance in mind, Golden GAINS™ delivers!

                    What would the difference between Golden Gains and Golden Finish if I'm looking to put on lean muscle. I don't need to loose weight but I'm not too concerned about bulking?

                    Im currently on:
                    WF, PW, GM, GG, and BG

                      Agreed - not sure I'm all about going into GNC for gold card week knowing that we could spend 15-20 less at any online retailer.

                      But from a business standpoint (revenue wise) its brilliant, but you're cutting your target audience in half if not more by only targeting the "newbies." Is it work selling less volume in store at a higher price to the newbies, or selling more volume via the web/store at a lower revenue to those who are more expierienced...tough call really.

                        yes, same time and it will end up being cheaper than if you had to buy it from an online site.
