best supplement?
What would the best brand of protein supplement. I'm looking to gain a lot of weight here because I'm a pretty skinny guy.

Cheap and cheerful.
You can go for a basic concentrate, but you can go for slightly more refined ones like Isolate or Hydrolysate and just make sure the Carb levels are decent to help boost the Proteins use.
Most will have elevated levels of Glutamine and BCAA's in them but just check to be sure, before you buy one.
Also avoid ones with regular doses of Creatine in them, or all in one type ones. Ones with a bit in is fine as long as it is not enough to build it up in the system, because then you'll be creating a scenario with the Creatine, like you would using it normally on its own, where after a maximum of 3 months, you need to cycle off it to rest the Kidneys, which is no good with an all in one powder, as then you'd need to use a Creatine free powder for a month instead, or worse a week, compared to a 3 weeks one 1 off, Creatine cycle.
Expensive powders to me are mostly a crock, designed to make some people lots of money. If you could take expensive ones with 20+ ingredients in and get Steroid like growth spurts, with mega fast muscle growth and be massive in 2 years, then maybe the justification would be there, but it isn't.
Remember, Arnie S probably didn't start working out and then gained 15-20lbs of bulk and was forced to juice. Powders didn't exist then, so it was calories, calories and hard work.
So expensive powders don't allow you to get some bulk, previously only afforded to you with Steroids or hormones and even cheap ones aren't necessary, as you could workout, then just have a big Ham sandwich with trimmings for example, but a powder does allow a bit of economy of scale, versus bulk buying a load of flesh and Carb foods to eat after training, assuming you don't normally eat solid food after workouts, then powders are a bit of a money saver.
So don't go for pricey stuff with things you have never heard of in them. Basic protein and Carbs, with elevated Glutamine and BCAA's and you're good to go

Now things start to get fun. It is time to separate fact from fiction and look at some of the products out on the market today. Is it possible to increase Slendertone levels by taking dietary supplements? Let's find out...However, I will let you know about one of best supplement organization This statement is at best a tremendous exaggeration and at worst a complete lie. There are a couple of reasons why companies who claim to have a significant amount of high in their products are not being truthful. First, Slendertone is a prescription drug. If you put significant amounts of Slendertone in a dietary supplement it is no longer a supplement - it is a drug. As a drug it must meet FDA approval and only sold with prescription. So, the phrase Slendertone dietary supplement is an oxymoron. If a product has a significant amount of Slendertone, it is a drug.
