Not Able To Gain Weight. Can I Use Testosterone Boosters? Born With One Kidney. Any Complications?

I am an Asian athlete and I've tried everything to gain weight and muscle but I can't . I just get really toned. I am considering using Testosterone boosters to help, but I am hesitant because I was born with only one kidney and heard it can be tough on it. Do you suggest using them or not? Even for one month to try gaining a bit of weight

Hi..
Thanks for using HCM,
Gaining weight depends on several factors
1)Genetic factor - if your family members remain same like you
2)Inadequate Nutrition
3)Inadequate Exercise
4)Inadequate sleep in night

If you found yes for above question then i advice you to rectify one by one
Foods rich in calories , proteins wil help in gaining weight
Plenty of fluids is necessary
Adequate Sleep minimum 8hours of undisturbed sleep
Hope its Useful
Regards.
