Hi,


Gaining muscle mass or strength?

Be careful, as lots of shakes do have fat, and it might be a good idea to assume some pig fat.

I started hitting the gym about 6 months ago, to gain muscle mass. I went from slim 51kgs to 61Kgs now.

I used whey protein only. Get Optimum Whey protein, they are known to contain no to little fat and are really good. They work wonders!

For whey protein:-

What Is Whey?




Whey is derived from milk, like cheese, at least that is what Optimum Nutrition says.....plus this is readily available off the counter in Muslim countries, including Pakistan.

whey protein does not contain pig fat, but it does contain rennet which is derived from stomach lining of animals such as calf and in some cases pig. There are actually very few halal certified supplements in the market.

If your worried you can just make your own protein shakes and take regular vitamins. I wouldn't really take supplements unless your looking to build serious muscle mass. As far as it having pig fat the best way to find out is to call the maker and ask.

whey protein and a good diet are your best bet.. don't know about pig fat though..

The only way of knowing that is by emailing the manufacturers. Ask them specifically if they use any pig content. Also ask them what is the source of the rennet they use.
