Should Wilsons Disease patients use weight-gaining supplements to help maintain their weight?
Metabolic enhancers like pro-kinetic are dangerous for people with liver disease, they can cause liver failure even in healthy people. Many dietary supplements like Ensure, etc., also contain copper supplements. If you are trying to gain weight and have been on appropriate therapy, drinking one can of Vanilla Boost Plus per day should not give you too much copper. You also can make your own high calorie drinks by mixing protein supplements with a milk shake. – Fred Askari, M.D., Ph.D.
