Everyone is so self-conscious about losing weight, we often forget that some people are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Those who have trouble gaining weight have options, some of which are drugs and some of which are protein supplements to help you get to that ideal weight.

Whey Protein Powder

One of the best weight gain supplements on the market, whey protein is a powder that doesn't have any major fat content. Its ability to mix with almost any liquid and even yogurt make it extremely attractive to consumers. It also comes in flavors, making it very easy to make chocolate milk out of the chocolate protein powder and milk. Name brands of protein powder are Best Isopure, Optimum Whey and Met-Rx Whey.

Met-Rx Meal Replacement Shakes and Bars

Met-RX can come in either shake or bar form. Both forms of these hold many calories, which are crucial for weight gain. By consuming more calories than you normally need, your body is able to store mass from the excess calories, eventually resulting in weight gain.

Creatine

Many trust creatine more than whey protein powder, with regards to its effectiveness. Creatine is a compound made naturally in our bodies that supplies our muscles with energy. Taking creatine supplements helps to increase endurance, muscle size and all-around weight. Name brands of creatine are Prolab Creatine, FSI Creatine and High Power Micronized Creatine.

DHEA

DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone that's produced by adrenal glands in the body. Taking DHEA supplements helps to maintain the right level of the hormone in your body and improve your body's ability to naturally gain weight. Name brands of DHEA are AST DHEA, Ultimate Nutrition DHEA and High Power DHEA.
