Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My age is 22 and my weight is 104 Ibs. Which supplement is better for gaining weight without any side effects? Kindly assist me further.

Answered by Dr. Alka

Hello doctor,

I read your query and understand your concern. The weight should be proportional to height. It has nothing to do with age. You can check it with the help of BMI (body mass index). The formula for BMI is weight in kg divided by height in meter square.

Normal BMI should be between 19.5 to 24.9.

Now come to your weight gain supplement.

1. I suggest taking Nutrigain granules and can take one teaspoon of these granules in lukewarm milk or with lukewarm water twice a day for four to six weeks.

2. Do exercises that increase your muscle bulk because as your muscle bulk will increase it will contribute to your weight gain.

3. You can learn these types of exercises from a professional trainer or from a nearby gym.

4. Take a balanced diet but increase the proportion of proteins in it.

Follow all these things regularly and you will soon feel positive results within a month. If still there is no result then do visit a nearby physician and ask for hormonal tests, because sometimes weight below normal range might be due to that. I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

Thank you.

Regarding follow up

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
