text: Research has proven that suppliments probably do little if any good. If you want instant weight gain, use Creatine...will add about 5 pounds of water to the average person, wets the muscles and helps them heal. Other than that, IF you get a good diet, suppliments are pretty much a waste of your money. Regardless of all the hype you see, old fashioned hard work and a good balanced diet is the only way it is going to happen. You do NOT want to put on fat, so stick with a good diet of meat, carbs, oils, in all, a balanced diet. There will be plenty who tell you >>>protein shakes, protein bars, etc...waste of money, period. But if it makes you feel like you are doing something, then do what ever you want. Good luck
