Desperately looking for supplements

Post by DarkStar »

Before any of you get any dirty ideas, here's the story.

I have a friend who is desperately trying to put on weight. In the course of two weeks he's lost 4KGs. After some looking around, my friend found two natural supplements that he can use to put on weight again. He currently weights (last time I checked) 46KGs.

The two products we're looking for are XtremeNO and Vimax. He needs these two specifically as he knows they work. So far, the only option we've found is ordering them online and we'd rather not.


Long story short, is there no local supplier in SA that sells XtremeNO and Vimax?

Thanks.

And trolls begone, this is actually a very sensitive issue.

However I doubt vimax is going to help with mass building :wink:

what about some protein shakes pared with weights training. If he wants to gain weight make sure it's the right kind.

I think there's more to this than supplements but if you want the best muscle/mass gaining product for a shake get Optimum Nutrition-Serious Mass.

my friend used to be big into his supplements. He was a rower for Rhodes and UJ so I will ask him what he suggests. He also used to sell the stuff so he will know.

He says he's tried several other supplements and says they didn't work.

As I said, he specifically wants those two (the whole point of Vimax is that it increases blood-flow in his body, thereby helping muscle development.) as he's seen them in action and knows it works.

Another thing I should mention on why he's losing weight, is that firstly he often clocks a 22-hour day. He has a very small appetite (Some days he eats one roll and some mini-wors only, with a couple glasses of coke and that's it).

I should also mention that he's a diabetic :P (so Vimax will help in that regard, increasing blood-flow and whatnot...)

Well there's your first problem :roll: The guy should start eating properly. Especially if he's a diabetic. And stay the hell away from coke for that matter. He should know all this already. :?

His problem is not supplements, it's his diet. And if he's clocking 22 hour days, I'm guessing he's not going to pick up the right type of weight with supplements, as I don't really see any type of workout here. (none that you spoke of in any case).

Maybe he should just try eating.

He should be consuming protein (in any form) in large quantities. He must also increase his carb intake. I do not profess to be an expert but if you want to pack on more weight you have to eat!

Replacing food with supplements is going to come back and bite you in the bottom.

+1. But it depends on how you use them really.

'When you plan on substituting food with supplements it's ok to cut on proteins and carbs but you still need to consume a lot of fish and greens to assist the processing of the massive amounts of proteins you take in...' This was said by a body building buddy of mine
