27/10/2024

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a challenge for some individuals, particularly those with fast metabolisms, certain medical conditions, or those recovering from illness.

If you're looking to gain weight healthily and sustainably, adding nutritional supplements to your meals can provide the extra calories and nutrients your body needs without relying on unhealthy foods.

Incorporating supplements into your diet to support healthy weight gain allows your meals to remain balanced and nutritious, while also ensuring that you’re getting the nutrients you need. At Superior Healthcare, we carry a range of products and brands, ensuring that you can find the product that will help you hit your nutritional goals. Some brands available on our online store include:

Why Use Nutritional Supplements for Weight Gain?

For many, gaining weight requires a surplus of calories, but not all calories are equal. Simply increasing your intake of unhealthy fats or processed foods can lead to unwanted health issues, and also do not provide the nutrients your body needs.

Nutritional supplements like protein powders, weight gainers, and meal replacement shakes provide a healthier alternative. Along with delivering essential vitamins and minerals, they also contain high-quality proteins, fats and carbohydrates, allowing you to meet your nutritional goals while consuming the calories you need. This ensures that you’re gaining weight in a balanced way that promotes overall health.

 

Protein Supplements to Boost Muscle Mass

One of the most effective ways to gain weight is by increasing muscle mass, not just fat. Protein supplements like whey or plant-based protein powders can help boost your daily protein intake, supporting muscle growth and recovery, especially when paired with strength training.

Adding our Beneprotein powder to your breakfast smoothie, oatmeal, or post-workout snack can give your muscles the nutrients they need to grow and repair, helping you gain weight in a healthy, lean way. You can also explore our other protein products to find more ways to incorporate protein intake into your diet, whether as a powder or drink.

 

High-Calorie Supplements for Energy

For those who struggle to consume large quantities of food, high-calorie supplements can be a convenient solution.

Products like our Enprocal powder contain a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to provide a calorie-dense option without the need for large meal portions. Simply adding a scoop to soups, casseroles, or shakes can let you get the nutrients you need without feeling overly full after your meal.

Our Precise No Melt Ice Cream range are also energy-dense alternatives for those with swallowing difficulties, or if you want a quick and easy snack to grab before leaving your home.

 

Meal Replacement Shakes for On-the-Go Nutrition

If you have a busy lifestyle and find it difficult to sit down for full meals, meal replacement shakes are a great way to ensure you’re still getting enough calories and nutrients.

These shakes, such as our Fortisip range, are packed with proteins, carbs, fats, and essential vitamins to help you gain weight while on the go. You can blend these shakes with fruits, nuts, or oats to make them even more nutrient-dense.
