A member asked:

Hi,i m have vitiligo,i m slim so i want to gain muscles,can i take bodybuilding products like bodybuilding supplements or proteins? plzz give the exact and. thankyou?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basics: Vitiligo has nothing to do with being slim or weight gain. You gain muscle mass with strength training with weights/isometrics/machines/etc. and a balanced nutrition. Supplemental protein shakes/vitamins add little if anything to most who pursue muscle gain unless your basic diet is poor.
