People let me give my advice, dont buy any of this crap and don't believe ANYONE on the internet telling you "Wow i tried this product and got amazing results, went from skinny to buff in weeks!"
Dont beleive that because it's bull
while there are honest people out there id bet that about 95 percent of the posts and such are basically plants from the company. dont you find that a couple posts in this forum that are FOR vita saleo are just a little too enthusiastic?

Im a very skinny person myself but im not wasting my money on bullsh*t pills. if youre bent on supplements, then dude, talk to your local nutritionist!! he or she can tell you pretty much exactly what they're products are for. Tell them what you're looking for and ask for advice. most real life people aren't only out to make a dishonest buck or two.

remember, the internet is FULL of propaganda and lies all for one main purpose, $c$$a$s$h$

also, try talking to your doctor

PEACE

True, true.

I asked my nutritionist what kind of herbal supplementation worked to increase appetite. According to his big book of herbal sh*t, Catnip and hops are both supposed to work. Haven't tried them yet though...

Hey folks, maybe this will help.

Check this forum out:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=631595&highlight=increase+appetite

There's some really good information in there with some other things to try that haven't been posted here yet. I'll just quote this one by Dr. P., then leave the rest to you:

quote:

well, if you have pathologically low appetite, then you possibly have some gastrointestinal problem. Maybe too low production of stomach acid or pancreatic digestive enzymes.

a very strong appetite "enhancer" is a rapid lowering of blood glucose levels.You can induce this effect by drinking e.g. a lemonade and eat some cheap candy that consists to >80% of sugar. This will highten your blood glucose, as a reaction your pancreas will pump plenty of insulin in your blood stream with the net effect of rapid decline in blood sugar. At that moment (approx. 30-60 min after candy-meal) you should start feeling uncofmortable and slightly jittery and you will crave for food. Now eat!
If you can not eat even then, then you might probably really have some intestinal problem and should do a check-up at your doc!

In Germany it was used to apply some "pepsine-wine" to children or elderly people who lacked appetite.

Best regards

David


It really helps to understand our internal systems and how they work when you're trying to establish a physiological change in your body.

Here's my personal experience with low appetite... I'm 6'0 and used to weigh about 140. I decided I needed to do something, so I started working out and researching. Any "bulking" type of program requires you to eat a sh*tload of food, right? I was struggling because I just couldn't muscle the food down. Here's the thing though, appetite is learned. The first couple of weeks when I would drink a HUGE protein shake (probably around 32oz), I felt like I was gonna puke afterward. But after a couple weeks, it wasn't so bad. After a couple months, it was no problem. By that time, I had figured out that I needed to divide my meals into five smaller ones throughout the day (Note: Some would say this is backwards, as eating several smaller meals throughout the day supplies the body with only the calories that it can burn before turning to fat, whereas eating, say, two HUGE meals a day doesn't allow your body to use everything and much of it is stored as fat.... perfect example: sumo wrestlers, who eat only once or twice a day). Since I didn't have a "normal" appetite, I had to spread things out. I was never hungry at eating time, but I could eat without feeling stuffed, which was a very good thing. Overall, I was able to intake more calories this way. So all that to say, if you set yourself on a schedule and stick to it, your appetite will increase naturally. I weigh 200 lbs. now (with about 15% body fat) and have never touched sterroids (believe me, I like sex WAAAAAAY more than any of THIS shi*t :-) ).

So I'm a personal trainer now and have recently begun taking adderall, which has severely cut down my appetite. Since my situation is kind-of abnormal now, I've been looking for some kind of supplement to naturally increase my appetite. I discovered this "Vita Salveo" stuff online like the rest of you and was hunting around looking for testimonials. I think I'll stay away from it to say the least.

If you're looking for a resource to effect any sort of change in your body, check out Bodybuilding.com. It has really been my number one resource for everything from supplementation to staying current in the training field. I wish I worked for them, 'cause this is a hell of a plug, but seriously, it's worth checking out. They're not just money grubbing punks, like Vita Salveo. They have a huge number of professionals in the field who do research studies on new products and tell you if they work or not, plus they sell just about whatever you're looking for. Enjoy!

Hope that helps, ya'll. :-)

If you didn't know equipoise is a steroid but I'm sure you know that and if you were taking that step eq wouldn't be the right choice do to the fact its a cutting steroid so unless you want a decrease in bodyfat I would suggest you stay away from eq.

Yea I bought a bottle of this vita salveo stuff and IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL!!
It might as well have been sawdust. My appetite didn't increase one ioata. As I have a poor appetite and I am desperate to gain mass I know more than the average person about appetite enhancing products and unfortunately it's not good news. Here are all the supplements I've tried that supposedly help to increase the appetite, they didn't help at all (okay that might not mean they won't work for you but I wouldn't count on it):


Ginger - Did nothing for me except burn the back of my throat
Fenugreek - Did nothing to increase my appetite
Gentian Lucia - I read a lot about this wonder herb, supposedly the bitterest substance known to man (it tastes like rank). Bitter herbs are supposed to stimulate the appetite. It's not known why but it has something to do with the stimulation of gastric juices. Of all the suplements I'd read about this was supposed to be the bees knees at increasing appetite. It didn't help mine at all. Might help you though, I don't know.
Milk Thistle - Ah! I'm not sure about this one. I know you bodybuilders use it because it helps protect your liver but I've read from various sources that it can increase the appetite because it contains a substance I've just started using this so the jury's still out. Don't hold your breath though.
Sublingual B12 shots. Hmmmm. Possibly marginal increase. But I was using shed loads and probably pissing out the equivalent amount. This supplement got me thinking abut injectable B12. Every forum I looked at most people who had injectable B12 said that it really worked at increasing appetite.
Vita Salveo - Actually touted as a weight gainer. It claims to tackle underweight issues by the root cause (check their website out). I was desperate by this time as I'd tried all of the above with no success. I even opened up a paypal account especially so I could buy it even though I was warned it was probably just sawdust. I finised the whole bottle and didn't notice any increase in my appetite at all!!

So there you have it. Sorry it's not good news. I really have tried everything. The only other thing that have been marginally effective is smelling certain spices or curry powder or onions. They make me salivate and make food slightly more appealing but don't generate the ravenous hunger that I crave.
The only thing I can think of, as mentioned above, is injectable B12. I've also heard that Equipoise is rather good :)
Hope this helps, sorry it's not good news though.

I was wondering if you tried taking these pills again? I'm 4ft 11in and weigh only 85 and I was reading some of the guys posts that said there might be steroids in it and I was worried about what it might do to a girl if there was. Please any girls that have taken this post a message if you have any info.

ok i am a 28 years female and have 3 kids. i am 5ft 3in and only weigh about 85 pds. i have been told that i have a hyperthyriod but the last test i took showed it as normal. the only time in my life that i have gained weight was when i was pregnant. i have tried all kinds of supplement to gain weight. i even tried a high calorie diet. no results. i have no problem eating i eat all the time. the doctor says there's nothing wrong with me that i'm perfectly healthy. i take vitamin and calcium supplements. i just don't feel happy about myself. i can't really take anything that you have to work out with because my husband is is in the military. my son is ADHD and nobody likes to watch him. i asked the doctors what to do and they told me to eat more!!! i already eat more than my husband!! i am desperate to gain weight. if anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate it.

EVERYONE PLEASE READ MY LAST POST ON PAGE 5 EVERYONE PLEASE READ MY LAST POST ON PAGE 5

This is in reply to the 28 yr old female that weighs 85 pounds. I'm the 4ft 11in girl that weighs 85 pounds and I just started taking these pills. I'm staying off the scale for now because I don't want to be dissapointed if I'm not gaining anything but I will repost in a few weeks to let you know if this is working. I read that you should get a calorie intake of 20x your weight which would be 1700 but I'm bumping it up to 25x which is 2125. INCLUDED IN THAT You should get 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight which is 85 for you and me and 2-4 grams of carbs per pound of body weight which is 255. I'm also drinking a weight gainer called GNC PRO PERFORMANCE WEIGHT GAINER 1850. If you've got fast metabolism then you need to pull out all the stops. I'm trying really hard and you have to stick to it. It's not easy. JUST COUNT CALORIES AND TAKE A PILL THAT SLOWS YOUR METABOLISM DOWN. I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF THIS IS WORKING. IF IT DOES, THEN IT'S A MIRACLE BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GAIN WEIGHT. You should create an account on here so we can keep in touch.

As far as The Anthony Ellis program...it worked for me, I followed it to A T and if you do it will work, there are many others that will, its no magical mystery formula, but its all in the consistency and set up. It got me started on the path away from being 6-4 and 160 pounds(yes, you read that right)...I never have gone back to my ole skinny boy state, or shoudl I say ultra skinny boy state. I will try this Vita Salveo, even though Im under the impression its horseshit it just may work becasue I naturally have a SUPER SUPER fast metabolism.

EVERYONE PLEASE READ MY LAST POST ON PAGE 5 EVERYONE PLEASE READ MY LAST POST ON PAGE 5

ALRIGHT I'M BACK. Wow it's actually been 2 weeks. I thought it had been longer but anyways I just weighed myself and it says 90. Now I didn't exactly weigh 85, I'm pretty sure it was like 87. So in three weeks I guess I have gained 2-3 pounds. That to me isn't alot so I'm not sure if the pills helped but it is a gain and I'm buying another bottle and sticking to it. I have noticed that I AM HUNGRIER but that took a couple weeks to kick in. Before, when I ate alot of sweets and stuff it would "run right through me" and I would have to go to the "little girls room" a few times a day BUT I definitely am NOT going that much at all SO I DO think it IS slowing my metabolism down. It sucks because I ran out of pills and it'll take 2-4 weeks to get more so hopefully I don't lose anything. Now I made a schedule type thing of fatty foods and how many calories were in everything so you should try using

http://www.fitwatch.com

For the next couple of weeks to achieve atleast 2000 calories a day I'm going to be eating
2 cans of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs 540 calories each
2 power bars 220 calories each
2 cups of chocolate milk ( I put ALOT of chocolate syrup in it so it's like 350 per cup )
2 sodas about 150 calories a can
2 brownies ( I'm guessing each brownie is like 200 depending on the size )

equaling WOW 2920, IS THAT RIGHT!!! I HAVE TO GAIN SOMETHING OFF OF THAT, RIGHT?

Well I'm going to do my best. I might try adding some meat AND MORE CHOCOLATE to it instead of the spaghetti and so much milk and soda BUT I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. GOOD LUCK!

IN REPLY TO THE 19 YR OLD THAT WEIGHS 103 POUNDS.

Everyone always told me to just eat and that pissed me off cuz I DO eat. But I just wasn't eating enough and I didn't realize that until I started this weight gain thing seriously like a month ago. I think this Vita Salveo is working but I won't know for sure until my next month is up. Im gonna repost on May 15th to let everyone know how much I've gained in 2 months so check back. But anyways, if you read my previous entries, you need to get a caloric intake of 20x your body weight BUT I'D BUMP IT UP TO 25 TRUST ME. You weigh 103 so that is 2,575 I think. If you don't have the money to buy these pills then try to eat this much food anyways. It's much easier to just take it one day at a time. Don't stress out about it and think about it so much AND DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY. You'll just get dissapointed. Just eat and if you can get these pills, take 5 a day. It IS possible to gain. You need to eat more food then your body burns off. If you don't have an appetite then these pills might help you get hungrier. It just takes some time for them to kick in though( maybe 2 weeks). Make a list of how many calories are in the foods you like to eat and schedule 2,575 calories for everyday and stick to it. One more thing. The mistake that I think people are making with these pills are that they think they'll make them gain weight automatically and that's not the case. YOU STILL NEED TO EAT!

That shit dont work! I have had it for a month and the only gains I noticed are when I increase my workout. Dont waist the money. I am one of those people who cant gain weight. I also cant just eat,eat,eat like they say. So naturally I thought my last hope was that vita salveo shit. WRONG! Dont order it. It took me 2 1/2 months to get it, and it didnt work. It is about the same price as other suppliments that these people on this site will tell you are good. Do some research before ordering. I originally ordered 3 bottles and didnt get them. They only refunded my money 2 months later because I threatened them with the feds for internet fraud. Then stupid me decided to order 1 bottle, got it 8 days later and did not work. I am now looking for other suppliment in pill form or that you dont mix with milk because milk products go right through me. I dont know much, but I do know first hand that weight gain plus is no good. I was taking 6 a day! If anybody has Ideas for suppliment i mention earlier in this post, please let me know.

IN RESPONSE TO USAVET

Well, I can't understand it, if it took you that long to get it why did you decide to order it again. You know, being so unhappy with the service and all. My first bottle took a month to get to me and the second took 6 days. There is no need for all of that hostility. Your problem with gaining weight is stated exactly in your post and I quote,

" I also cant just eat,eat,eat like they say. So naturally I thought my last hope was that vita salveo shit."

You, like alot of people think that you are just going to take a pill and it will make you fat. WRONG! YOU HAVE TO EAT MORE CALORIES THAN YOUR BODY BURNS, OK. From what I understand, these pills slow your metabolism enabling you to absorb the calories instead of them just going straight through your body. BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO EAT. You also said that you only gained weght when you started working out. Well, how do you know that's the reason you were gaining anyways? If you go to there website they have some cheesy videos about people who have tried these pills which they probably didn't really try them cause the videos are so fake BUT ANYWAYS, the man says you need to workout while taking them. It says flat out that you need to workout so really the pills did what they said they were gonna do. Like in my previous entries I stated that I didn't feel the extra hunger for a couple weeks and I gained two or three pounds in a month. You can't have unreasonable hopes and expectations that your going to gain 20lbs in a month. It takes time. But as soon as you get a plan together and stick to it DAILY, those months just fly by.
