A member asked:
Why do stretch marks happen during muscle growth? can the intake of any nutrient prevent them?(stretch marks on shoulders).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin tension: You have grown the muscles at a rate that the skin could not keep up with thus becomes lets say over stretched and damaged. There is no nutrient to protect from this but expanding at a slower rate could reduce the risk of development
