Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am taking an ayurvedic supplement for weight gain. Will I develop fat if I use it?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Nutrigain is an ayurvedic supplement. The chief ingredients present in this preparation are Ashwagandha and Shatavari. Research works have claimed that both ingredients help gain weight. The product is available in granule form so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. It does not have any side effects. You can use this product for a month and review. If any unwanted changes occur in the body's working mechanism within a week or two of its use, you can get back so that I can suggest alternate options. There are a number of ayurvedic products with the same ingredients in the market which produce similar results. All these products are expected to have cleared quality assurance.

Below are the ideal methods to gain healthy weight:

  • Start your day healthy with fruits and avoid tea or coffee. Include protein-rich foods like fish, egg white and sprouts in your diet.
  • Do proper exercise along with diet. As, diet without exercise can lead to piling up of fats in the body.
  • Eat and sleep consistently at the same time everyday.
  • Join a fitness club or gym in your locality. Make sure the instructors are well-trained. Exercises should be done preferably in the morning. I suggest you to do cardio for warm-up and then go for strength training to build muscle. After you finish your workout, you must take a good protein supplement within 20 minutes.
  • If you would like to include additional protein supplement, buy a box of whey protein powder. Also include acidic fruits such as orange and lemon in your diet for better protein absorption.
  • Make sure you monitor the fat content in your body when you put on weight.
  • Get a weighing scale and check your weight daily as a routine to keep track of your weight gain.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
