Question 1

i just purchased the pre-workout supplement "c4 extreme" and i was wondering if it has any side effects that i should be aware of? thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Yes side effects: Read huffington post article about high school athletes requiring surgery for compartment syndrome.  Look at ingredients of C4 extreme,  if you do not understand the ingredients then avoid them.  Make sure your parents aware of this supplement and ask if any family members have high blood pressure or sudden death.  Please avoid taking this supplement.

Question 2

i want to know if there are any side effects in using pre-workout    , green coffee extract  and fat burner supplements ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It depends on the make up of the fat burner supplement.  Many over the counter weight loss supplements have stimulants in them.  If taken in excess, they can cause palpitations, trouble sleeping, nervousness, etc...  I generally do not recommend supplements to lose weight as most are unproven and the best way to lose weight and stay healthy is just plain diet and exercise in moderation.

Question 3

i was just prescribed sildenafil 50mg for erectile dysfunction. most of the time i work out in the evening and consume a pre workout supplement. i plan to take the sildenafil when i return home from the gym. will this cause negative side effects?

Accepted Answer

: You did not tell us the name of your "pre workout supplement". By my knowledge almost all pre-workout supplements on the market don't interact with sildenafil. Good luck!

Question 4

heavy chest and minor headache after 8km run? this never happened before may side effects from sample pre workout i took and been sipping along the ro

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Chest heaviness, chest pain, or shortness of breath can be due to minor problems or to very serious ones. An emergency room doctor can check to see what might be going on. Sometimes, tests and chest x-rays may be done. Possible causes include heart attack (rare in the young), partial pneumothorax (collapsed lung), asthma, reflux, arrhythmia, etc... One should not wait around with such symptoms.

Question 5

what happens if one is not a body builder and doesn't plan to be, are supplements a good way to build body muscle without side effects?

Accepted Answer

No: Supplements marketed to body builders must be used with a strict diet and a large amount of exercise. You must do the work or you won't see any increases in your muscles.

Question 6

is there an natural supplement that can make your butt bigger a pill preferably that doesn't have side effects

Accepted Answer

There : There isn't a supplement that would specifically enlarge the buttocks.

Question 7

i.m a trainner and i train a lot i don't take any kind of supplements just i take l carnitin liquid. what is the side effects, ?.its safe for the heart

Accepted Answer

Carnitine: There is no good evidence it does anything as a supplement. If you don't know about this substance, why are you taking it into your body ?

Question 8

hey doctor! i don't know if this is a good question or nt, but is there any side effects for supplements and nutrition if i use them as structured? thank you!

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: I'm sorry, but from your message i don't know what supplements or nutrition you're asking about.-- or what you mean by "use them as structured."  there are all kinds of supplements, with all kinds of variable effects. If you can share a little more specifics, we can try to help.  Thanks.

Question 9

Accepted Answer
