View allI'm thinking about taking menabol tablets to help with my weight because my trainer suggested it at the gym. I've always been on the leaner side, and I'm curious if it's safe for me to use. Could you also let me know how many tablets I should take each day and the best times to take them?
Better follow regular diet habits than taking the pills to gain weight
