Deal updates for Serious Mass Weight Gainer
Serious Mass is the best-known mass gainer on the market, from the makers of Gold Standard Whey. Each two-scoop serving in water delivers 1,250 calories and 50 g of protein — a shortcut for hard gainers who struggle to eat enough food to grow.
The number on this page comes from the Supplement Facts panel: protein per serving as printed on the label. Scoop sizes differ between brands (roughly 30–40 g of powder), so compare protein per serving and servings per container, not scoop counts.
Yes — every tub carries a best-by date, usually 12–24 months from manufacture. Powder keeps best sealed, dry and cool; once opened, use it within a few months and keep the scoop dry. Clumping or an off smell means it's past its best.
Powder usually gives more protein per dollar and per calorie; bars win on convenience. Check the same two numbers on both: protein per serving and calories per serving.
