Overview
Looking to bulk up, pack on serious size, or finally stay ahead of your calorie demands? Zombie Labs may be best known for their wild branding, but their new high calorie gainer Gainz is anything but gimmicky. With over 670 calories per serve, 35 grams of high quality protein, and a stacked ingredient panel including creatine, BCAAs, and digestive enzymes, it’s built to do one thing: help you grow.
But how does it actually stack up against the big names in the mass gainer game? Let’s break it down.
Formula Breakdown
Zombie Labs Gainz is designed to provide a complete, all in one solution for individuals seeking to increase size, strength, and daily calorie intake. Each full serve delivers approximately 673 calories, with a macronutrient breakdown that supports both muscle growth and recovery:
-
Protein: 35 g
-
Carbohydrates: 100.3 g (including 19 g of sugars)
-
Fats: 14.7 g (13.1 g saturated fat)
-
Creatine Monohydrate: 3000 mg
-
BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine): 3000 mg combined
-
Digestive Enzymes (DigeZyme®): 50 mg
Protein Matrix
Gainz features a multi-source protein blend consisting of:
-
Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)
-
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)
-
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
-
Egg White Protein
-
Pea Protein (PhytoPea™)
This diverse matrix provides a broad spectrum of amino acids, supporting muscle protein synthesis, recovery, and satiety. The inclusion of fast digesting whey, medium digesting egg white, and slower digesting plant proteins allows for a sustained release of amino acids, ideal for post-workout nutrition or as a high protein meal replacement.
Carbohydrate Matrix
The carbohydrate component includes:
-
Maltodextrin
-
Ground Oats
-
Sweet Potato Powder
These ingredients provide over 100 grams of carbohydrates per serve, delivering both fast acting and slower burning energy sources. The use of complex carbs such as oats and sweet potato helps stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce the insulin spikes commonly associated with maltodextrin heavy gainers. This combination is particularly beneficial for fuelling intense training sessions and supporting a consistent calorie surplus required for bulking.
Fat Matrix
To enhance caloric density and support hormonal function, Gainz incorporates:
-
Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)
-
Coconut Oil
-
Olive Oil Powder
The total fat content of 14.7 grams per serve includes 13.1 grams of saturated fats, primarily from MCTs and coconut oil. While this contributes to the formula’s high energy yield and can aid in recovery, the saturated fat level may be a consideration for users monitoring cardiovascular health.
Creatine and Amino Acid Support
Gainz includes 3000 mg of Creatine Monohydrate, a proven ingredient to support strength, muscular endurance, and power output. While beneficial, this is slightly below the clinical dose of 5000 mg per day commonly recommended for optimal performance outcomes.
Additionally, 3000 mg of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are included to assist muscle recovery, reduce muscle breakdown, and stimulate protein synthesis. These are valuable additions in the context of a high calorie post training or meal replacement shake.
Digestive Enzyme Blend
To support digestion and nutrient absorption, the formula features 50 mg of DigeZyme®, a multi-enzyme complex containing:
-
Amylase
-
Protease
-
Lactase
-
Lipase
-
Cellulase
These enzymes assist in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and lactose, helping reduce bloating and improving overall tolerance, especially important when consuming large volume, high calorie shakes.
Flavour Breakdown
Zombie Labs Gainz comes in two rich and creamy flavours:
-
Vicious Vanilla
-
Chaotic Chocolate
Both deliver a milkshake style texture, especially when mixed with milk. The texture is thick but smooth, ideal for those who enjoy a full bodied shake. Taste guarantee included, if you don’t love it, Zombie Labs offers a money-back return.
Price Breakdown
Gainz is available in two sizes:
-
10-Serve Tub – $79.00 AUD (~$7.90 per serve)
-
27-Serve Tub – $159.00 AUD (~$2.93 per serve)
For a premium mass gainer with added creatine, BCAAs, and enzymes, the 27 serve option delivers excellent value, especially when used daily during a bulking phase.
Supp Comparison
Compared to other high quality mass gainers:
-
Rule 1 Mass Gainer offers more calories per serve but comes in at $5+ per serve.
-
Rule 1 Clean Gainer delivers similar macros but is priced around $3.80 per serve.
-
Gainz balances protein variety, carb quality, and added support ingredients at a competitive $2.93 per serve.
It doesn’t max out every single ingredient, but its broad spectrum formula makes it one of the better balanced options for both beginners and advanced athletes.
Who Is It Best For?
Zombie Labs Gainz is best suited for:
-
Gym goers in a bulking phase
-
Hard gainers who struggle to get enough calories
-
Athletes with high training volume
-
Anyone looking for a convenient all in one mass gaining shake
Final Thoughts
Zombie Labs Gainz is a bold and well executed entry into the mass gainer category. With its 673 calories, 35 g of quality protein, 100+ g of carbs, and supportive extras like creatine, BCAAs, and DigeZyme®, it’s a complete muscle building solution. While slightly underdosed in creatine and BCAAs compared to standalone options, the value, taste, and convenience make it a standout choice, especially in the 27 serve tub.
Whether you’re chasing size, strength, or just looking to hit calorie targets more efficiently, Gainz delivers the goods.
