Body Building Shakes

[Sarahmitz]

Hi, All, My silly teenage son thinks that these expensive shakes will help him 'bulk up'. I'm an old woman to him with an A level in nutrition, I've told him that it's a placebo and unnecessary, he should grow at his own rate. Working out is OK , but keep to a normal, healthy diet. Am I right or are there benfits to these expensive drinks????

Aren't they just high protein drinks? probably with additives. He'd be better off eating a good steak...
