Pharmaceutical doping for gaining muscle mass. Pharmaceutical preparations for bodybuilding, at a small price in any pharmacy. Energy preparations

05.07.2020

I am glad to welcome you, friends! Read this article. At the end, I will talk about my experience with drugs.

Many athletes, with the development of muscles, sooner or later rest against the ceiling. In such a situation, their eyes turn to drugs for muscle building. And this is logical, because our muscles have a development limit. Drugs are designed to expand this limit. But which of them should be taken, and which should not? - the question is not simple.

I hope you have already put on at least 20 kg of muscle since the beginning of training! Why am I doing this? The fact is that such an amount of meat can be increased without drugs, even without sports nutrition. So to speak, on Greek and breasts. If you have less muscle, then just understand the training methodology and your diet. Because you still have room to grow on natural products.

At the NAP European ChampionshipAlexey Akimov. Multiple champion and record holder of Russia in power sports. Master of Sport. Training experience - more than 20 years. He brought up more than a dozen strong men, helped to improve the health of hundreds of people.

When your training experience and form are at a decent level, then it makes sense to think about taking drugs.

I’ll start not even with drugs, but with sports supplements. They can also benefit you. But don't expect mind-blowing muscle growth. The contribution of supplements to your progress is no more than 10%.

Protein

The most popular sports nutrition product. Protein is a supplement made primarily of protein, which we need to build muscle! Basically, protein intake is relevant in cases where we cannot get the protein norm of their products.

Indeed, an additional intake of protein will not be superfluous if you are an experienced athlete who cannot get his required norm of this nutrient from ordinary products. However, do not go to extremes, the recommended and really justified protein intake is 1.5-2 g per kilogram of body weight. Exceeding these norms can lead to increased stress on the kidneys and liver, as well as worsen digestion. If you want how to ensure maximum protein absorption, write to me, I will help you figure it out.

Gainer

I must say that the gainer can really help in weight gain. You just need to carefully study the composition of the product - it is desirable that the ratio of proteins and carbohydrates in it be from 40/60 to 30/70, but not 10/90. Besides, important point there will be a qualitative composition of carbohydrates - it is necessary that it be not sugar, but more complex carbohydrates - for example, maltodextrin or amylopectin. Otherwise, most of the weight gained will be body fat.

Creatine

One of the few supplements from which the effect can be felt already at the next workout! Creatine plays an important role in energy metabolism in muscle cells. As a result, it increases muscle strength and performance. And this subsequently results in an increase muscle mass!

Creatine does work, at least for most people. Since there is a category of people (on average, about 30%) who practically do not feel the intake of creatine. Here you need to proceed from the goals and objectives. Creatine increases strength and muscle mass, but also retains water. This must be taken into account. In addition, it is important not to get confused among the numerous forms of release of this product. Manufacturers and sellers are actively promoting new, and often more expensive forms of release, but the good old monohydrate, according to athletes, is still out of competition. The capsule option creates less stress on the gastrointestinal tract. Do not forget about the ways of taking this supplement and course options (loading, constant intake, alternation).

BCAA

It is a complex of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine. These amino acids are very important for our muscles! BCAAs are mainly recommended for gaining lean muscle mass or for maintaining muscle during cutting. But the effectiveness of this supplement is questionable.

BCAAs really work and can help an athlete in terms of increasing strength and muscle mass. Basically, it is from these amino acids that the matrix of a new muscle cell is built, the prerequisites for the creation of which are created during strength training. Therefore, it is worth taking them before or during training with a small portion carbohydrates, carefully choosing an individual portion. If you need help with the nutrition program, write to me, I will help.

Vitamin and mineral complexes

In addition to consuming macronutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates), you need to consume enough vitamins and minerals. Your performance and other important parameters of the body directly depend on them.

The importance of taking vitamins and minerals cannot be denied, especially since in people who train hard, the need for these substances increases, especially in winter. A feature of sports options for vitamin-mineral complexes is, as a rule, an increased dosage of active ingredients, as well as the presence of additional additives that can help in the absorption of vitamins and minerals directly. However, it should be remembered that the constant intake of excessive doses of vitamins (especially fat-soluble) and minerals can have a toxic effect on the body.

The considered sports nutrition will be a good help to increase your achievements in “bodybuilding” (from the English “bodybuilding” - lit. “body building”). By the way, you can buy all these products in flexSport stores.

Pharmacy preparations

Well, we have considered sports nutrition. Now it's the pharmacy's turn. Drugs that are available in a pharmacy can be either cheaper analogues of sports nutrition products or have more pronounced anabolic effects.

But before you run to the pharmacy, carefully weigh the pros and cons. Study the side effects, contraindications and the possibility of individual intolerance to the drug. Better yet, consult your doctor! At least consult with a professional athlete.

Glutamic acid

Accelerates nitrogen metabolism. Which leads to increased muscle growth. In addition, glutamic acid improves immunity, which is important during periods of heavy stress.

Methionine

An essential amino acid that is beneficial to our body. In addition to influencing muscle growth, it has hepatoprotective properties. In simple terms, it protects the liver. It is found in large quantities in chicken and beef. Methionine is suitable for adolescents as an acne prophylaxis.

Alvezin

Effective, but "uncomfortable" drug. Since it is administered intravenously. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to do it yourself. You can take a course of droppers at any hospital for a fee. In fact, Alvezin contains all the amino acids necessary for our muscles. And due to intravenous administration, they almost instantly enter the muscles.

Potassium Orotate

It activates metabolic processes in the body, thereby stimulating muscle growth. It is also popular among athletes because of its beneficial effect on the heart. Especially relevant during high-intensity training.

Safinor

This drug is an adaptogen. Simply put, it helps the athlete adapt to new loads. Recommended for athletes who increase muscle mass.

Ecdysterone

A drug that stimulates weight gain. The main component is Leuzea safflower. Due to its plant origin, ecdysterone has practically no contraindications and side effects. Experienced athletes recommend taking it in conjunction with a protein shake.

Riboxin

You can buy it in almost any pharmacy. Taking the drug has an anabolic effect. In addition, it protects the heart during intense stress. Riboxin improves blood supply to the muscles and is involved in energy metabolism.

Betimil

It is an actoprotector. In other words, it increases the efficiency of your body. As a result, you can train longer and more efficiently, which leads to an increase in muscle mass.

Over the years of development of the pharmaceutical industry, many drugs have been created that can help the athlete achieve his goals. I would divide all available drugs into several groups:

individual amino acids, their derivatives or amino acid complexes (glutamic acid, methionine, alvesin, aminoven and others);
drugs that improve energy, cellular metabolism and cellular respiration (potassium orotate, riboxin (inosine), mildronate, carnitine chloride, etc.);
adaptogens and drugs similar in action (leveton, ecdisten, eleutherococcus, ginseng, magnolia vine, etc.);
vitamins, minerals and their complexes (supradin, complivit, asparkam, panangin, magnerot, etc.).

Of the advantages of pharmaceutical preparations, it should be noted that they undoubtedly work, that is, they perform the declared function. However, this raises a very important question of the actual need for taking these drugs, as well as possible side effects, which, of course, are possible with improper use and incorrect dosages. It is necessary to compare your goals and health status with the effect of these drugs, consult with specialists and carefully monitor changes.

Parameters by which supplementation regimens and their dosages are determined

age,
level of physical activity and lifestyle,
the presence of chronic diseases and / or predispositions to diseases (especially the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system),
the presence of allergic reactions to the active substances of additives,
results of the Body Composition Analysis (height, weight, body mass index, percentage of fat, muscle and bone mass, water and visceral fat levels, metabolic rate, recommended daily caloric intake),
sports goals of a person.

Only by comparing all these parameters, it is possible to determine and draw up a supplementation regimen that will not only not harm human health, but will also help to achieve your goals faster and more efficiently.

Example (simulation model)

Options:

male, 25 years old, office work,

strength training 3 times a week, good health,

of the features - increased acidity of the stomach, intercostal neuralgia, pinched nerve, allergy to gluten, height 178 cm, weight - 89 kg, fat 21%, muscle tissue 54%, water 59%, visceral fat 6%, bone tissue 3.9%,

The goal is to increase muscle tissue, increase strength, and reduce fat mass.

10-day course of B vitamins (combilipen, injectable),
10-day course of vitamin C injection,
morning intake of adaptogen Eleutherococcus 15 drops,
taking melatonin and tryptophan before bed
10 g of creatine monohydrate daily, divided into two doses, in capsules,
10 g of BCAAs and 20 g of carbohydrates (amylopectin) before a 1.5-hour workout,
30 g of whey isolate 30 minutes after training,
20 g of casein before bed.

From personal experience

During my practice, I very often came across the fact that people incorrectly use nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical preparations, do not correlate them with their goals and condition, choose the wrong dosages and methods of administration. As a result - the lack of results and the loss of money at best, at worst - health problems. Let's look at three specific examples.

young girl

A swimmer, on the recommendation of her coach, turned to a sports store for supplements that would help her improve her fitness and performance. Without understanding the specifics of the goals, the seller advised the girl to take creatine and a gainer, which the girl did, since she herself did not really understand this issue. As a result of two weeks of taking these supplements, the girl gained an extra 4 kilograms of mass (mainly fat), her results worsened and she was not taken to the training camp.

Aged man

A man who wants to get rid of excess weight, purchased a fat burner from the Hardcore series in a sports nutrition store. The man had problems with pressure, which he knew very well, but he did not use this supplement, even twice the dosage. He didn't even bother to read the ingredients of the drug, which included geranium extract and a hefty dose of caffeine. Thus, he acquired such health problems that for a long time threw him off from achieving his goal.

Middle-aged woman

The woman decided to reconsider her diet after reading recommendations on the Internet for making a drying diet for professional athletes. There were instructions to sharply limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed and increase the protein content, including through sports nutrition. As a result, she began to consume up to 4-4.5 g of protein per kilogram of her own weight. The result of this venture was that the predisposition to kidney disease that she had developed into a disease, and she dropped out of the training process for a year, spending a lot of time, money and effort on treatment.

For natural bodybuilders and those who decide to quit steroids, I want to offer a methodological development for taking approved pharmacological drugs. This technique is designed to build muscle mass, restore performance and increase the endurance of athletes in bodybuilding and other strength sports. Of course, compared with modern "chemistry", the results will not be the same, however, there is no health risk. And in combination with adequate nutrition and sports supplements, your progress will in any case be more significant than if you trained without these drugs. From my own practice, I can add that in 3-4 months of training and following this technique, the athletes I trained managed to gain 10-15 kg of muscle mass! Moreover, these were not water, "pro-chemical" muscles, which immediately subsided after the completion of the "chemistry" course. The result was fixed stably and for a long time. And, what is most interesting, such results were achieved not only without steroids, but also without modern sports nutrition products, and more significant progress can be expected with sports nutrition products.

Pharmaceutical preparations for gaining muscle mass are used, paradoxically, quite often. Despite their low popularity in general in training practice, advanced athletes resort to their use almost everywhere. Even despite the fact that pharmaceutical preparations act exclusively as aids in weight gain, this in no way negates or reduces the effect of their intake, due to which, over time, their popularity in sports only grows.

Most athletes prefer to train naturally, namely, without the use of anabolic steroids. To increase the effectiveness of training and accelerate recovery processes, they often resort to the use of various sports supplements. For the same purpose, a number of medicines are widely used, which can be purchased at a regular pharmacy, and which are sold mainly without a prescription. But again, despite the fact that pharmaceutical preparations are relatively harmless and very affordable, it is important to strictly follow the instructions for use. And before you start taking it, consult your doctor about their use.

ADVICE. You can get acquainted with the main sports supplements that are used in sports in our article "". In it, for each supplement you will find a link to an extended article, and you will be able to get acquainted in more detail with what this or that sports supplement is. We also strongly recommend that you study the articles "" and "". And we generally recommend that you start reading this article after having previously studied the material "", since nutrition plays a primary role in this process, and sports supplements and pharmaceutical preparations fade into the background.

Since our task today is to consider pharmaceutical preparations under the prism of gaining muscle mass, this article will list only those that somehow affect its growth, regardless of the mechanism of action. Directly the principle of action and the nature of the effect on the body will be given for each drug in the appropriate paragraph. Also, according to all the traditions of describing pharmaceuticals, we will give contraindications, side effects, composition, form of release, and of course, we will pay attention first of all to the benefits and harms of pharmaceutical preparations.

IMPORTANT. This article is formed on the basis of materials from the book of the author Davidenko F. Yu. “ ANABOLISM PROFILES» .

diabeton

Among the drugs that are freely available, Diabeton has the strongest anabolic properties. In medicine, it is used to stimulate the pancreas during the treatment of diabetes. In sports, this pharmacy drug is used to maintain a high level of anabolism and gain muscle mass. This effect on the body is explained by the activation of the production of insulin, which is one of the main anabolic hormones. The power of its influence on the body is equal to the power of insulin injections. The overall effect is comparable to that of methandrostenolone (anabolic steroid). The drug is well suited for those who want to gain weight in a short time. On the course of taking Diabeton, appetite increases significantly, for this reason, the consumption of fatty foods should be minimized. The diet during this period should include as many protein-containing foods as possible.

Summary. Like it or not, for all its positive qualities, the drug has one rather significant disadvantage. This is the risk of falling into a hypoglycemic coma, which, by the way, occurs only in the case of thoughtless use of the drug. On the one hand, if you follow all the prescribed recommendations, eat often and follow the duration of the course, no side effects occur. On the other hand, poor nutrition, overdosing or overdosing increases the likelihood of them occurring. As a rule, you can often find recommendations that you need to eat sweets at night during the intake courses so that hypoglycemia does not overtake you in your sleep. But do not be afraid, a critical condition occurs only when the dosage is significantly exceeded, which an experienced athlete, or at least a sane person, of course, will not allow. In addition, six meals a day and a uniform intake of carbohydrates create the most favorable conditions for the body during the course of taking the drug, and due to its anabolic properties, it is the best pharmacy drug in bodybuilding for building mass.

calcium glycerophosphate

In medicine, this drug is used in the treatment of dystrophy and excessive fatigue. It increases the degree of protein absorption and speeds up metabolism. During the period of taking this remedy, the appetite increases significantly, which means that the consumption of fatty, fried and starchy foods should be reduced.

And since calcium is almost of paramount importance in bodybuilding among other minerals, since it is the main mineral that carries out muscle contraction, it is apparently for this reason that calcium glycerophosphate has gained high popularity and is one of the best pharmaceutical preparations for muscle growth. in bodybuilding.

Potassium orotate

A metabolic agent that regulates and stimulates the flow of biochemical processes. It is used as a drug with an anabolic effect in violation of protein metabolism. Increases appetite (which helps when working "on the mass"), increases urination (which helps to get rid of excess fluid in the body), activates tissue regeneration processes (which speeds up recovery processes). Potassium orotate is a mineral salt found in all living organisms. Each molecule of a substance consists of molecules of orotic acid and potassium.

Summary. Numerous experiments (on rats) have shown that when combined with other drugs, Potassium Orotate does reduce recovery time, however, no anabolic effects have been identified. In this regard, there is an opinion that its use in sports is ineffective, and in bodybuilding it is practically meaningless. However, the facts speak for themselves. The drug has been very popular in sports for more than a dozen years, moreover, it is among bodybuilders. Can experiments on rats be considered comparable to the response of an athlete to a drug? Hardly. Would it be so popular if it wasn't effective? I'm sure not. The facts speak for themselves. Among pharmaceutical preparations for weight gain, Potassium orotate has secured an honorable reputation.

Asparkam

A drug that regulates metabolism. It is able to quickly replenish the deficiency of potassium and magnesium in the body, as well as stabilize the electrolyte balance. The drug facilitates the transfer of potassium and magnesium into cells, which contributes to increased efficiency, and as a result, helps to build muscle mass faster. Magnesium, which takes part in protein metabolism and supplies energy in this process, gives the athlete the opportunity to effectively build muscles during training. The versatility of this pharmaceutical preparation lies in the fact that it can be used not only for weight gain, but also for weight loss with a correctly adjusted training and nutrition regimen. In addition, Asparkam prevents the occurrence of seizures and significantly increases the endurance of the athlete.

Pharmacological group: antiarrhythmic drugs in combinations.

Active substance: potassium and magnesium aspartate (English: Potassium aspartate and magnesium aspartate).

Pharmachologic effect: the drug eliminates electrolyte imbalance, magnesium and potassium deficiency, improves myocardial metabolism and coronary blood supply.

Tasks in sports: increases efficiency and endurance, helps fight convulsions. The drug is used both for gaining muscle mass and for weight loss.

Compound: 1 tablet contains 175 mg of potassium aspartate and 175 mg of magnesium aspartate. 1 ampoule of asparkam 10 ml contains 0.45 g of potassium aspartate and 0.4 g of magnesium aspartate.

Indications: is prescribed as an aid in chronic circulatory failure, as well as heart rhythm disturbances caused by potassium and magnesium deficiency.

Contraindications: acute and chronic renal failure, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, myocardial dysfunction, severe forms of myasthenia gravis.

Side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, flatulence, dry mouth, decreased pressure.

Summary. Asparkam also contains aspartate (aspartic acid) - a carrier of potassium and magnesium ions through cell membranes. Often, athletes increase the daily dosage above 6 tablets, but this does not lead to any significant increase in results. Excess potassium ions are excreted by the kidneys in the urine. For all its versatility, the drug does not have anabolic effects. Nevertheless, this pharmacy drug is quite suitable for gaining muscle mass, but only as part of a course, in conjunction with other drugs. However, even by itself, it is quite popular both among bodybuilders and among representatives of many other sports.

Riboxin

The drug activates biochemical processes, which, among other things, have a positive effect on the athlete's heart. It has antiarrhythmic, anabolic and other beneficial effects. By increasing the force of heart contractions, it helps to increase stroke volume. Riboxin inherently improves both the blood supply to the tissues of the whole body, and the heart in particular. While taking the drug, there is often an improvement in energy metabolism, the activity of many enzymes and metabolic processes in the myocardium. Another positive effect from its reception is an improvement in the regeneration of muscle tissue. But, despite all its positive qualities, Riboxin as a reducing agent is not the most the best choice, for this reason, for the purpose of building muscle mass, this pharmacy drug is recommended to be taken in combination with potassium orotate, which acts as a kind of amplifier.

Pharmacological group: drugs that affect predominantly the processes of tissue metabolism.

Active substance: inosine (English: Inosine).

Pharmachologic effect: the drug has an anabolic effect, participates in glucose metabolism and activates metabolic processes in the myocardium.

Tasks in sports: inosine is the precursor of ATP, the most important source of energy in bodybuilding. Improves blood circulation, energy metabolism, and muscle tissue regeneration.

Compound: 1 tablet of the drug contains 200 mg of inosine. Ampoules contain 20 mg / ml of the active substance - inosine.

Shelf life: depending on the form of issue, about 3 years.

Storage conditions: store in a dry place, out of the reach of children, hidden from direct sunlight, at a temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius.

Summary. Riboxin, due to its anabolic properties, is widely used in sports. Many sports supplements are also made with it. However, some clinical trials have shown that the use of Riboxin in sports does not lead to an improvement in performance and an increase in muscle mass. But again, the tests carried out do not cast doubt on the pharmacological effect of the drug, which means that if it has all the declared properties, then why should it be considered ineffective in sports? Tests are always carried out under strictly defined laboratory conditions, but in reality, the conditions of training and the factors influencing it are different for each person, and therefore the effectiveness of the reception will be different. But to say that the drug is useless in sports, I think it is not entirely correct. Of course, we will not question the results of clinical trials, just as they do not question the pharmacological effect of the drug, but I think you get the point. All you need to know is that among bodybuilders who use this drug for mass gain, Riboxin is very popular. It would hardly be possible if the drug was a dummy. Draw your own conclusions.

Fish fat

The drug is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids. The main beneficial components of fish oil are Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins A and D. Fish oil is of key importance in bodybuilding. Without a sufficient intake of Omega-3 in the body, it is quite difficult to achieve the desired results in gaining muscle mass and increasing strength. With a lack of essential fatty acids, the results and achievements of the athlete will always be lower than they could be with the use of fish oil. Accordingly, the course of pharmaceutical preparations for weight gain must necessarily be supplemented with sources of fish oil in any form of release.

Pharmacological group: vitamins, vitamin-like substances and drugs that mainly affect the processes of tissue metabolism.

Active substance: fish oil (English: Fish oil).

Pharmachologic effect: hypolipidemic, antiplatelet, see summary below.

Summary. As we have said, Omega-3 fatty acids have a wide range of positive effects that are of fundamental importance in bodybuilding. Here are some of them: increasing the metabolic rate, accelerating the growth of muscle mass and reducing the content of adipose tissue. Increased susceptibility to insulin, improved blood circulation. The drug increases the overall tone and increases endurance, reduces catabolism and accelerates recovery. Improves brain function, improves mood. The brain substance consists of 60% fat, and especially needs Omega-3 fatty acids. It is an excellent source of energy that does not create the risk of increasing adipose tissue. It enhances the production of hormones in the body, including the most important testosterone in bodybuilding, and at the same time, prevents the secretion of harmful cortisol. Fish oil, as a drug for muscle growth, is of exceptional importance. It can rightly be called magical, and if you want a miraculous substance that is of great help in the process of building muscles.

Hematogen

A product known to us since childhood, which many took for an ordinary delicacy. It is made from dried blood of cattle and is successfully used to prevent iron deficiency, restore metabolic processes, stimulate the formation of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the body, and, among other things, is a source of essential amino acids, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Thanks to such a rich composition, this pharmaceutical preparation, so to speak, is excellent for gaining mass, especially since all these components are in the hematogen in a state close to the composition of our blood.

The blood that is used to prepare the hematogen is processed to exclude infections and subjected to defibration: the fibrin protein falls out in the form of fibers from the blood when it is shaken. Defibrated blood does not clot, and the erythrocytes remain suspended in the serum. To give palatability condensed milk, molasses, sucrose and vanillin are added to the product.

Pharmacological group: Dietary supplements are products of plant, animal or mineral origin.

Active substance: hematogen (English: Haematogenum).

Pharmachologic effect: the drug increases the content of hemoglobin in the blood and improves the morphological characteristics of red blood cells.

Tasks in sports: used for weight gain, as a source of fast carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and amino acids in the optimal ratio for the body.

Compound: the active substance is ferrous sulphate ferrous oxide (iron sulfate hepathydrate). Also black food albumin, condensed milk, molasses, sucrose, vanillin.

Indications: It is used as a therapeutic and prophylactic agent for malnutrition, low blood hemoglobin, after severe infectious diseases.

Contraindications: hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, violation of carbohydrate metabolism, diabetes, obesity, anemia.

Side effects: nausea, diarrhea.

Mode of application: orally.

Overdose: see side effects.

Release form: bars, chewable lozenge, 50 or 30 g, divided into 10 or 6 plates.

Analogues: Hematogen C (as part of vitamin C), Hematogen L (as part of lysine).

Manufacturers: Pharm-Pro (Russia), PKP Fakel-Design (Russia), Siberian Health 2000 (Russia), Gemakon (Russia), Geness LLC (Russia), Renaissance and Development (Russia) ).

Shelf life: 6 months

Storage conditions: store in a dry, dark place at a temperature of 15 to 21 degrees Celsius.

Summary. This product (or pharmaceutical preparation) is very popular in sports in general. As for its use in bodybuilding, the fact that hematogen is a source of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins, of course, indicates that in this sport, from the point of view of gaining muscle mass, it is especially relevant. Everyone will draw conclusions about the advisability of its use, but taking into account the fact that even children's forms of hematogen are produced, it is not only safe for use, but rather, on the contrary, it is strongly recommended, again, subject to all the conditions for its use.

Conclusion

In sports practice, the use of pharmaceutical drugs to improve performance is a common phenomenon. In bodybuilding, the use of pharmaceutical preparations for gaining muscle mass is the prerogative of mainly advanced athletes. Beginners in this sport, as a rule, are limited to taking sports supplements, advanced athletes supplement the intake of sports supplements with the use of pharmacy "accelerators". Professionals and performing athletes often use more potent substances, which we will discuss in a separate series of articles. Now, summing up, it is necessary to focus on the fact that pharmaceutical preparations are nothing more than “small helpers” that work exclusively in conjunction with a well-composed diet and the same well-constructed diet. training process. Under these conditions, they work for you, in any other case, they are capable of harming you. It is for this reason that their use should be taken seriously and, above all, consult a doctor.
