    A Yes, this product is non-gmo

  4. Q is it for women too
    A Yes. I used it.
  5. Q Is this product useful during intense hikes and runs?
    A yeah it is just pure maltodextrin, the same carbohydrate source found in many exercise drinks. Keep in mind this product contains no electrolytes
  6. Q why does the picture say plant protein powder but the description says carbo gain?
    A That isn't Carbo Gain. Somebody made a mistake.
  7. Q Is it okay for women?
    A I'm sure it is. It is just concentrated carbohydrates which u take in on register basis. This just provides you with a lot of them.
  8. Q Will I gain weight if I take this without going to the gym? I am too skinny and can't afford to go to the gym
    A yes you will gain weight if you do not go to the gym
  9. Q Is this used as a weight/mass gainer or a pre-workout supp?
    A It’s more of a weight gainer. Pure carbs
  10. Q What is the DE (dextrose equivalent) value of this maltodextrin? I need the exact value, not a link explaining what maltodextrin is, thanks!
    A The specified range is 9% to 12%; our most recent batches were tested at 11.68, 11.65, 11.78, 11.39 so we would expect it to be typically between 11-12%.
  11. Q I want to gain weight. Which one is better: this or pro gainer?
    A I personally take Now Carbo Gain as quick source of sustainable muscle fuel prior to my workouts. I have no personal experience with the pro gainer though.
  12. Q I want this product for energy not so much for weight gain. Does it provide an energy boost? If not, any suggestions for an alternative product?
    A NOW Foods Carbo Gain is a great source of energy and is a pure carbohydrate product.Thank you and have a great day!
  13. Q Does this come with a scoop
    A No it doesn't. I got mine last night and found nothing inside.
  14. Q What is the GI (glycemic index) of this particular maltodextrin? (GI can vary based on the length and # of branches of the polysaccharide chains)
    A i'd say it's relatively low, based on my own sensitivity to some starches.
  15. Q Is delivery safe?
    A not exactly sure what you mean by this question? maltodextrin in just a sugar, not really temperature sensitive, and it is packaged in a protective box ? i.e. the container was not broken when received?
  16. Q What's the dextrose equivalent, I'm looking for less sweet malto?
    A Dextrose will be sweeter. I have both carbo gain (maltodextrin) and the NOW dextrose powder. The dextrose powder tastes like powdered sugar.
  17. Q i do workout but i have hard time with gain weight do you think this product will help me and is there a real result of using it?
    A yes. combined with proper protein intake and if you take it at the ideal times, like pre and post workout. It's worked for me and i have a hard time gaining lean weight.
  18. Q Is this the same thing as dextrose?
    A CJ, no it's not. Dextrose is a sugar made by the body. When supplementing dextrose you want to it after intense long cardio, or during a long cardio session, biking hiking running ect. Carbo gain is 100% maltodextrine, a complex carbo hydrate! This is what your body will burn and use first during any sort of workout! I personally supplement carbo gain in a protein shake, post work out, and mix it with my BCAAs during my workout, to sip on! Hope this info helped, feel free to contact me about any other questions!
  19. Q does it have a flavor
    A Not flavored. I would mix with Juice or some other flavor.
  20. Q Is the purpose of this product to gain weight or energy while working out? I want fuel to life, not to put on weight.
    A Energy. We recommend you consume before, during and after intense exercise for best results. Double this recipe if engaging in prolonged exertion of 2 hours or more.
  21. Q Can you Mix with preworkout?
    A It's a powder, so you can mix it with anything. Working out or not, personally I load up in the morning in a fruit/spinach/whole milk/ juice smoothie. It's a weigh gain supplement.
  22. Q Is it OK to mix this stuff in hot coffee, or does the heat have some detrimental effect on the product. I would think not but someone may know better
    A Maltodextrin is often used in reduced fat baking, which has much higher temperatures. It is not a problem and will probably mix better in hot liquid
  23. Q Can you mix it with chocolate protein shakes like Muscle Milk?
    A You can, but I wouldn't. It gets too clumpy and maxes the muscle milk (or any protein powder) taste bitter for my taste. Just mix them up separately.
  24. Q What's a better intraworkout product for heavy lifting and long intense running, vitargo, plain maltodextrin or all max carbion?
    A Not the best answer but whichever is cheapest. The differences aren’t going to be that different unless your a marathon guy and if you are I’m sure you’ll have a very detailed plan and cost isn’t much an option. Maltodextrin has done guys at my gym just fine
  25. Q Does this product contain protein?
    A No - Unless I'm very mistaken, it's 100% maltodextrin which, according to the back panel, is 63 grams of carbs per 67 gram serving... That's like 94% carbs. If you want protein, look into whey or soy or one of the many others, but whey is the most popular, as far as I know. I use different ones for different situations. ON Whey is my preferred.
  26. Q Is it from china
    A It’s not.Great product so far. I’ve been using it for 2 months now and I can totally see a change on my weight.Obviously I do work out and mix this product with good and enough food.
  27. Q If working out 6 days/wk (3 cardio, 3 strength training) and track protein & carbs. Will this benefit me or make me gain fat?
    A This product should only be used to meet your carb macros IF you are not getting them from food, OR your bulking and need surplus carbs to meet your macros on top of food. It really depends on your goals. Bulking = more carbs, cutting = less carbs
  28. Q The first 2 pics show a different product, is this actually an 8lb tub of carbo gain?
    A When we list an item thats another company's product like now foods they own the trademarks and have control of photos and other info, there is a ASIN # that comes up and when we list we can only edit a few things like price and so on. we own Skinny Magic® & Cardio-911® so we have control of what photos show up. If you bought from us and received the wrong product we will replace it or refund you. Herb Shop Inc
  29. Q Can this give me a gut? I started at 6', 140, and i have gained 30lbs all over, but my stomach is getting bigger too
    A I don't even know where to begin to answer this...yes, of course it can give you a gut! Eat enough of any food and you'll gain fat. The whole purpose of this product is to gain weight, which you seem to have done. I would recommend that you only take it pre or post workout, and do a bulk cycle where yo again weight (yes, some will be fat) and follow it with a period where you try to lose fat but maintain the muscle.
  30. Q Is there a safety seal for this? A review said that the bottle came with no label. I'm worried that it might get tampered with.
    A Yes, there should be a seal on the cover itself and a tear-off seal when you take the cover off. The bottle should have a label too. it's possible that the bottle was tampered with. You may want to contact the seller.
  31. Q Is this product lactosr free?
    A I'm sorry.....this product was not for me and I can't answer your question.
  32. Q Is the purpose of this product to gain weight or energy while working out? I want fuel to lift, not to put on weight.
    A Energy. We recommend you consume before, during and after intense exercise for best results. Double this recipe if engaging in prolonged exertion of 2 hours or more.
  33. Q Is this the same as Karbolyn? I like karbolyn but this is a better deal
    A I haven’t used karbolyn but this is my 2nd time purchasing carbo gain(15lb bag). It worth it
  34. Q Is it gluten free?
    A Yes, I'll add a picture of the label.
