Brief Answer: Threptin should be enough. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX I am Dr Mittal And I am going to ty to help you with your query You see Threptin biscuits are a protein supplement too If you have a look at the components, the diskets/powder is full of the amino acids that basically build up the proteins. So if you take threptin, you will be on supplement anyways. I usually dont suggest the protein supplements because most of them have some form of steroids included. And steroids can have adverse effects.. Besides you are just toning the muscles. I think threptin should be sufficient. To add to that look up the high protein diets like eggs, non veg and soya foods. Of course if you are looking to build your muscles, then you will need more supplements of course I hope this helps Please let me know if you have additional queries. Best of luck Dr Mittal

HI Dr. Mittal, as you have gone through my medical history, with my back pain problem how much weight training will be sufficient so that i can build up my muscles and side-by-side dont hurt my back. And one more thing do these threptin biscuits contain steroids? will it be safe to consume them. please suggest.

Brief Answer: response Detailed Answer: hi again first and foremost threptin has no steroids so it is relatively safe as or the backache i would suggest you increase the weights really slowly thereby the muscles will have time to adapt and grow stronger so the weight increase should be a really slow process best of luck Dr Mittal
