Gaining weight can be just as challenging as losing weight, especially for those who seem to eat plenty yet struggle to show results. In Nigeria, being underweight faces unwarranted judgment, leading many to turn to unregulated “weight gain syrups” and gummies widely marketed on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. These products can contain harmful chemicals, including cyproheptadine, which may disrupt hormonal balance and only contribute to water weight gain instead of healthy muscle growth.
In this discussion, we bring to light the significant risks posed by these fake syrups, which can affect your overall health and wellbeing. The ultimate goal is to achieve a healthy increase in body weight through proper nutrition. Embracing traditional Nigerian foods that are nutrient-dense can effectively support this journey. Additionally, it’s crucial to engage in strength training, as simply eating more isn’t enough to gain healthy muscle.
If you have concerns about how to gain weight healthily or are worried about any supplements you may have taken, consider addressing potential underlying medical conditions by consulting a verified doctor. You can speak directly and confidentially with a healthcare professional on AwaDoc here:
