A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
