It has been around 6-7 months that I have started going to gym and so I am doing heavy exercise daily for muscle gain. I was advised by my instructor to take WHEY PROTEINS. Is it advisable to take them? N is there any steroids or side effects of taking it? I have searched the internet for whey protein as gym supplements and tried to gain nutrition information about them. One of them I searched was Ultimate nutrition prostar 100%whey protein and the information is attached. Still some people say that it contains steroids and they have some side effects. Do them really have some?

It's time to get over that popular belief that eating too much helps in gaining weight. It doesn't help much. A proper diet-plan for weight-gain is a must in order to get those extra kilos on right parts of the body. Besides, absence of an adequate diet-chart could land you in health troubles. You don't have to rely on those popular myths, as you can consult me privately on Lybrate and get a diet-plan customized on the basis of your body-type, food-habits, affordability and other such aspects.

Hello mr, my personal advice dont go for weight gain supplements. Instead take boiled egg weekly four times, raw egg weekly twice, pulses daily 2 handful, less of carbohydrates n more of protein when you are eye in any body building competition. Otherwise eat healthy and do workout.
