Transparent Labs Mass Gainer

Transparent Labs sells this as a clean bulk in a tub: 15 servings of serious calories with every ingredient source named on the label. Before you spend eighty bucks, here is my read of that label and the paper trail behind it.

Quick note up front: this is a product overview, not a review. The tub is not in my hands yet, and once it has been through the rotation at Black Iron Athletics, the full hands-on review replaces this page.

The Label Read

Two scoops gets you 760 to 770 calories. That breaks down to 53 to 55 grams of protein from grass-fed whey concentrate, 110 grams of carbs from organic tapioca maltodextrin, oat flour, and sweet potato powder, 15 grams of fat from MCT oil and coconut milk, and 6 grams of prebiotic fiber. Real carb sources instead of a wall of cheap sugar is the headline here. No artificial sweeteners, coloring, or preservatives.

There is also 3 grams of creatine monohydrate baked in. That is real, but it is short of the 5 grams a day I want every guy over 30 getting. If this is your only creatine source, top it off. Thorne Creatine covers that job.

Paper trail: the product page links a Certificate of Analysis for purity and a separate ingredient verification test, and the brand runs a searchable third-party tests hub for the whole line. That is more homework than most of this industry shows you. One line I will not cross: this is not what I hand a drug-tested athlete. That lane stays Thorne and NSF Certified for Sport, like the whey isolate I point tested guys toward.

Who It Is For

The guy who trains hard and cannot eat enough. If the scale will not move and dinner keeps losing to your calendar, 760 to 770 liquid calories is a tool that helps you cover the gap. It is not for the guy trying to lean out, and it is not a license to skip real food. This covers the gap, not the plate. If you just need protein without 110 grams of carbs, a straight isolate is the better buy, and the rest of the basics live in the dad stack.

The Honest Math

$79.99 for 15 servings. That is $5.33 per serving, and I will say it plain: used daily, a tub lasts two weeks. Subscribe and Save drops it to $71.99, which is $4.80 per serving with free shipping and $8 off every order. Military, veterans, and first responders get 15% off through GovX ID verification on the Transparent Labs site. Want to see how the rest of the line stacks up first?
