Hi, I will not suggest to go for any powders or pills. To gain weight the natural way slowly increase the intake of calories. Add ghee to your rice, roti. Have 1 boiled potato daily. Increase the intake of nuts and proteins gradually in the diet. Have dates, raisins, almonds and walnuts daily. Have milk, sprouts, Dal's and curd in your diet. If non vegetarian you can have boiled eggs, chicken and fish. Do daily physical activity and strength training.
