This research article aims to formulate protein powder for weight gain; as well as evaluate the efficacy and safety of nutraceuticals used in protein powder to promoting health and preventing disease. A systematic review was conducted, analyzing randomized controlled trials and observational studies from the past decade. The nutraceuticals studied included vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and other dietary supplements. Further research is needed to establish clear guidelines on the use of nutraceuticals for health promotion and disease prevention. In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing nutraceuticals that address specific health needs. One such area is weight gain, especially for individuals who are underweight or seeking to build muscle mass. This study aimed to formulate a protein-rich nutraceuticals powder specifically designed to promote healthy weight gain From a purely pragmatic standpoint, consuming protein post-workout represents an opportunity to feed; this in turn contributes to one's total daily energy and protein intake. Furthermore, despite recent suggestions that one does not "need" to consume protein during the immediate (1 h or less) post-training time frame, it should be emphasized that consuming nothing offers no advantage and perhaps even a disadvantage. Thus, based on performance and recovery effects, it appears that the prudent approach would be to have athletes consume protein post-training and post-competition.
