FAQs
How many servings are in a 2.7kg container?
A 2.7kg container typically contains approximately 8 servings, based on the recommended serving size of 2 scoops (330g).
Can I use this product if I am not trying to gain weight?
Serious Mass is specifically designed for weight gain due to its high calorie content. If you are not aiming to gain weight, a lower-calorie protein supplement might be more appropriate.
What is the best time to take Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass?
The best times to consume Serious Mass are typically post-workout to aid recovery and muscle growth, or between meals to increase overall daily calorie intake. Some also use it in the morning.
How much protein is in one serving?

How many carbohydrates are in one serving?
One serving contains 250g of carbohydrates.
Can I mix this with juice instead of water or milk?
While you can technically mix it with juice, it is not recommended. The high sugar content in juice combined with the calories and carbohydrates in Serious Mass could lead to excessive calorie intake and potential digestive issues. Water or milk are the preferred mixers.
Does this product contain creatine?
Yes, Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass typically includes added ingredients like creatine to further support muscle growth and performance.
Troubleshooting
Powder does not mix well, resulting in clumps.
Ensure you are using enough liquid (at least 24 ounces). Try blending for a longer duration (60 seconds) or using a blender instead of a shaker bottle. Adding the powder to the liquid first can sometimes help.
Experiencing digestive discomfort (bloating, gas).
Start with a smaller serving size (e.g., half a scoop) and gradually increase to a full serving over several days. Ensure adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
Shake is too thick or too thin.
Adjust the amount of liquid used. For a thicker shake, use less liquid. For a thinner shake, add more liquid until the desired consistency is achieved.
Product tastes gritty.
Ensure the powder is fully dissolved. Blending for longer or using a high-powered blender can help break down particles. Check the expiration date, as older product may lose some texture.
