The Weight-Gain Pill
I’m a self-proclaimed channel flipper—I always want to see what else is on when I have the remote. That’s why I did a double take when I saw the beginning of a commercial for weight gain. It wasn’t the typical approach, such as the product contains some formulation of branched chain amino acid, creatine, and other herbs that are supposedly associated with gaining muscle faster. Not this time.
The featured testimonial was a woman who was always “skinny” her entire life. The “before” picture was a very thin woman. Then she begins using this product with an herbal blend and some vitamins in it. She managed to gain 53 pounds! But it went with the product’s Facebook tag line: Curves are in—and we can help!
What was in this magnificent supplement? Vitamin D and zinc and the herbal blend. I’ll give you just one ingredient to give you a clue: dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide. I’ll tell you what I found in the research as well as describe a legitimate weight-gain program for those who might need it in Saturday’s Memo.
What are you prepared to do today?
