Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 22 years old and weigh 104 pounds. Which supplement is best for gaining weight without any side effects?
Please assist.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Weight should be proportional to height and is not directly related to age. You can evaluate this using the body mass index (BMI). The formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. A normal BMI should be between 19.5 and 24.9.
Regarding weight gain:
Adhering to these recommendations regularly should yield positive results within a month. If you do not see any improvement, consider visiting a nearby physician for hormonal tests, as sometimes weight below the normal range may be due to hormonal issues.
Thank you.
