Suggest Supplements For Weight Gain
I was just wondering if you could suggest a supplement I can take over the counter to help me gain weight? I m at 155lbs, female and 33yrs of age. I would like to be at 165lbs. I would like something i can take and see results fairly quickly. What do you suggest?

Hello and thank you for your question
There really are no supplements for helping you gain weight, it is just about eating more calories. However, unless you are very tall (over 6 feet) it is not really healthy to gain more weight. Even at 6 feet tall 155 is in normal body weight range. Gaining weight quickly is also not that healthy. I suggest you focus on getting healthier, not on getting heavier.
Regards
