Bulking-Phase Supplement Priorities

General Health · Evidence: Moderate · Importance: Moderate

Educational: which supplements help while gaining.

Educational only — not medical advice. BodEvo summarizes research cautiously and labels estimates as estimates. Talk to a physician or registered dietitian before starting any supplement, diet, or training program.

What the evidence says

Creatine and adequate protein/calories do the heavy lifting; most "mass" products are calories plus marketing.

Typical dose & timing

Dose: Creatine, protein/whey, and convenient calories (e.g., a homemade gainer) if appetite is the limiter.

Timing: Throughout a bulk.

Role in a stack

Support for a calorie surplus.

Redundancy check: Food calories beat powders for most.

Cautions & safety

A "gainer" is just calories — don’t outsource the diet to powder if you can eat food.

General guidance. Educational only.
