PromoFarma or Zumub for mass gainer: which is better value per kg
The short answer. For mass gainer, PromoFarma lists 13 products and Zumub another 16. By price per kg, PromoFarma’s median is €26.00/kg and Zumub’s is €22.50/kg. The highest scoring across both catalogues is Zumub Heavy Gainer 4Kg (2x 2Kg) from Zumub, with 81 out of 100 at €7.50/kg. Neither has products at verification level 4: for mass gainer the ceiling today is a lab report published by the brand itself, and that is not a certification.
Both stores measured on the same criterion: price per kg and certification verification level. There is no overall winner because there isn’t one: one can win on price and the other on certification, and here you see both separately.
† Some links are affiliate links — they do not change the ranking
Some store links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing in the ranking: the score is computed beforehand and without reading those links, and products with no affiliate programme appear exactly the same. How it is calculated.

The median is not the price you will pay. It is the midpoint of that store’s catalogue in this category, and it tells you whether a store is dear or cheap overall. For buying, the specific row in the table below is what counts.
Why one is cheaper than the other
Factor by factor, with both stores’ data
PromoFarma costs 16 % more per kg than Zumub (€26.00/kg against €22.50/kg, medians of both catalogues). That difference does not come out of nowhere. These are the data that explain it, with each store’s figure alongside: pack size (median), different brands in the catalogue, products with declared additives.
| Factor | PromoFarma | Zumub |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size (median)Zumub sells bigger packs, and a big pack spreads the same tub, the same label and the same shipping over more kilos. Part of the price gap per kg is this and not a discount: comparing one store’s small pack with the other’s large one inflates the gap. | 1.5 kg | 2 kg |
| Different brands in the catalogueZumub mostly sells one brand, Zumub: 56 % of its catalogue in this category. PromoFarma spreads its own across 7 brands. A store selling its own brand skips the manufacturer’s margin and can cut the price without touching the formula; a reseller pays that margin and passes it on, and in exchange carries brands the other does not sell. | 7 (31 % Equilibre Attitude) | 6 (56 % Zumub) |
| Products with declared additivesWhat the pages of both declare: artificial sweeteners, colourings. An additive is not fraud, but it takes up grams that are not active ingredient and is cheaper than the active ingredient: where more additive is declared, the price per kg drops without the product being better. | 0 % | 50 % |
| Median rating at the storeBased on 1 reviews at PromoFarma and 2,772 at Zumub. These are the store’s own ratings, which is judge and party: they help spot a product that arrives damaged or tastes awful, not decide which formula is better. | 5/5 | 4/5 |
None of these factors is an accusation. They are medians of what each store publishes on its pages on the day prices were collected: where a page does not declare a figure, that store does not count in that row instead of counting as a zero. A specific product can contradict its store’s median, and that is what the full table is for. How all of this is calculated.
