I received this question from a reader who was interested to know if weight gain pills will help you gain weight?
Well I have to say that I was a little skeptic at first when I found a number of websites online which are selling weight gain pills and weight gain capsules with claims from the product’s marketers that if you take a couple of pills before every meal you will increase your appetite so you feel the need to eat more and slow down your metabolism. Without having to train or diet they claim it’s possible to gain muscle weight. Saying that I found the claims to be full of hype is an understatement to say the very least.
With such bold claims I wanted to investigate exactly what was in these weight gaining pills. I wanted to know if by popping a few pills you could really gain extra pounds of muscle so I decided to find out what was actually in them. What I found by looking at the nutrition label is that these weight gain diet pills are really nothing more then an average Multi-vitamin with pretty packaging and inflated prices. They cost about 3-5x more then a Multi-vitamin.
Multi-vitamins, although not advertised to show this benefit, are actually a really useful supplement for gaining weight. Small vitamin deficiencies can impact your appetite which affects your ability to gain weight and muscle.
So instead of paying the inflated prices on weight gain pills which are really only a repackaged Multi-vitamin, get yourself a good multi-vitamin supplement. The mistake many people make when getting started with a weight gain program is they skip on important vitamins and minerals which are a good foundation for gaining weight in favor of some glamorous bodybuilding supplement. This is a mistake.
Don’t waste your money on weight gain pills – there is no miracle pill for gaining significant size. Instead, use a good Multi-vitamin. It won’t work miracles, but either will the weight gain pills. Instead, combined with a good workout and proper weight gaining diet program it will ensure that you are successful in your quest to gain weight.

Hi, I am 30 years old and 5 ft 4 in. Ive always been between 85 and 100lbs. Ive gotten up to 120 when pregnant two years ago but thats it. I have not been able to gain weight besides when i took periactin. I gained about 20lbs in 2 weeks and took them once a day -every other day. The pack is about 5 bucks and should not require a prescription. It does make you sleepy however so expect to sleep 10 hrs. If you have a full time job i suggest taking it when leaving work on a friday and on saturday… leave sunday for sleep recovery and then skipping the weekdays. The increased appetite will be evident in about two days after taking the pills. In addition to the weight gain Ive been trying to tone my arms and legs because the difference does show and because of my small frame I dont want to look odd. Even my closest male friends have noticed and mentioned that its difficult to look it me now in “that way”. I have also taken the GNC shakes on the side – that help with muscle gain- every so often (not very often though). I mix it with Yogurt and fruit. I hope this is helpful.
Where do I get these pills from i really wana gain weight in 3 weeks
I got mine from a local pharmacy (over the counter). Im not sure how it works in the US cause Im from Brazil.

Well I’ve been 92 pounds all my life even after 4 kids I’m only 4’11 and I’ve been trying to gain weight without being pregnant. Over the summer of 2011 I decided to take the cb1 weight gainer and I also smoking cigs. I gained 20 pounds in 3 weeks. If was really quick how I was seeing the change in my body. So I wanted to see If smoking had anything to do with me nor gaing weight all these years so I went back to smoking and lost 6 pounds already but it took me 2 months. I know the weight gainer is what put me up all those pounds. I just stop smoking again and getting ready for the summer;-)
my aunt is 5″3 she has always been around 100-105 pounds and she has always been a smoker then one day she had to stop before they killed her then she gained a lot of weight she said it was just a habbit something to do when she was hungry and didnt have the time to eat
