Bulk Informed Mass vs Critical Mass Chocolate

Pros

• ✓No maltodextrin — oat flour provides complex carbs with a lower glycaemic impact, widely praised by reviewers
• ✓Informed Sport certified, providing reliable banned-substance assurance for competitive athletes
• ✓Added creatine monohydrate (3g) and HMB (1.5g) add meaningful ergogenic value beyond a standard gainer
• ✓Generally well-tolerated, with DigeZyme enzyme blend supporting digestion of the large serving size

Cons

• ✗Mixes poorly in a shaker without a blender — clumping and undissolved particles reported by multiple reviewers
• ✗Thick, heavy texture is polarising; some users found it unpleasant to drink
• ✗Only 20 servings per 3kg bag — serving size (150g) is large and the bag depletes quickly
• ✗Taste described as average to decent across flavours; some find it overly saline or requiring large water volume
